Warden Thomas has accomplished
other things aside from succeeding

He has eliminated stripes and sub

punishments, such as water cures,

into operation the theory that full

built new and better ventilated cells

TELL" STUFF is ALL BUNK
Columbus, O., Jan. 22.-"There's a
spark of good in every man; the
blood will tell idea is bosh; if a man
isn't a thorough criminal he can be
trusted; normal men have honor and
they can be relied upon to a certain
extent; some more, some less" Thus
prefacing an explanation of Ohio's
new make man" policy, Warden P.
E. Thomas, the first expert criminr
oIogist ever in charge of Ohio's faA
nous old penitentiary, today told the
United Press correspondent that the
honor system among convicts is a
success. Warden Thomas has eXper-
imented with the honor system in
Ohio a little over a year today.
Here are few plain facts about the
system as explained by the warden:
About $50 men are working in the
open air on their honor. A big per-
centage of the men are building
roads for the state. Guards aren't
needed; an overseer bosses the work.
The largest percentage of honor
men" are life termers. They wear
blue overaIls like ordinary laborers
and have Sunday clothes. They go
to church on Sundays. They work
eight hours a day. They are paid
five cents an hour; ninety per cent
goes to their dependents, the rest to
them. Less than one per cent have
tried to escape in a year. Honor men
have all served from one to fifteen
years behind bars. One prisoner who
was recently sent out to work ION
his honor" after sixteen years be-
hind the bars was badly frightened
by passing automobile. He is serv-
ing a life sentence for murder. "The
long term men are best" said War
den Thomas. And Warden Thomas
is said to know his men from ga to

divisions" declared Ohio's warden.
