ATHLETICS FOR INMATES
Colorado to Have Six Acre Baseball Field fol
Prisoners and Public

A six-acre baseball and athletic
field, built for and by prisoners, with
accommodations for the general pub
lie, as well as inmates, is the latest
reform in prison management plan
ned by Thomas lyman, warden OF
the Colorado state penitentiary.
To build up a man mentally and
morally" said lyman in announcing
the innovation today. Il know from
experience you have to build him
up physically"
The ball players and athletes who
are to be allowed to use the field are
those who cannot be trusted to work
in the road gangs at the prison
ranches.
Permission to use the field must
be earned by good conduct, which
will be marked by the presentation
of an honor button. The button
admits the bearer to the field or to
the grandstand.
The public will be admitted
through one gate and the inmate
spectators through another.

STRIPES TO BE ABOLISHED

Katherine B. Davis, known as
Doctor" Davis in New York, has
lately been appointed as commits
sioner of the department of correc-
ton by new Mayor Mitchell. One
of her first official acts was to make
a tour Of inspection of the city's
prison on Blackwelrs island, which
she says she investigated thoroughly
in three hours. This statement in
itself seems remarkable when
we consider that it requires about
that long to pass through the vari-
GUS departments; but be that as it
may, DIR. Davis was so impressed
that she decided to abolish the
striped uniforms.
II am not bit fussy about my
own Clothes" she said, but / can
not help think how like flock OF
zebras these men and women look
running about. I don't believe
you can encourage much self re-
spect in a man or woman who is
put into one of these ugly uni
FORMS"
DR.. Davis said she would substi-
tute gray suits for men and ging-
hams for the women.
She also thinks sentences should
be longer; the present sentence be-
ing SO short 1t does not act as cor
rective.
Respecting the last stated i'm
preston, it might be good idea
for DR.. Davis to follow Osborne'f
plan and spend a week or so al
Blackwell's. Perhaps she would
then change her mind regarding
long sentences.-The Dragnet.

the first devils agent who came
along. No reconstruction work for
the courts. They can prove people
guilty of crimes and misdemeanors,
tear down character and punish the
culprit-but set an erring woman
on her feet and help her get started
in new life-never. The ancient
books furnish no precedent to war
rant the Judge in building up char
acter.
We ought not to modify that state
ment. There is some modern pre-
cedent. The juvenile court is fur
nishing precedent, and there are
judges here and there who act like
men and Christians in their dealings
with unfortunates. They are not
always PERMITTED to keep up the
good work. There was Mckenzie
Cleland in Chicago, who conducted
golden rule court until the other
judges of the city got jealous of him
and conspired to defeat him for re-
election. There is Judge Lindsey.
IN Denver, fighting back the raven
GUS Beast" at this moment. There
have been other good men who have
over-stepped the authority of their
offices in the name of humanity.
But they are few and far between.
Last week there was an account
in the paper of poor fellow, on his
last legs, who was before one of the
courts of Dayton for some trifing
misdemeanor. he was not IN fit
condition to be sent to prison-he
might die on the jailer's hands. He
claimed to have come from Spring
field, so the wise authorities packed
him off there. The doctor said he
could live but a few days. so the
news item read, so the officials ex-
pected to "shunt him back and forth"
between the two towns until the end
came-each town hoping of course
that it would have the good luck to
stick the other town for the funeral
expenses. Somebody wrote the
Daily News a letter about it, in
indignant and just protest.
Yet the court and the officials are
hardly to blame. 1t is the barbar-
GUS system we are still living under,
and the thing happens so often that
we have become calloused. But
surely, there is God in heaven who
takes note of our brutality, and some
day will demand an accounting OF
our stewardship.
This is not question of charity,
it is not philanthropy. 1t is simple
justice. the very thing that the law
is supposed to specialize in. And

Editor Mirror, Sir::-The inmate
that will stay in his cell next Sunday
and not go to chapel deserves to be
stunned by every other man in these
two prisons. Our paper, the Mirror

not ignore the plea. The Mirror is

that it is for their own good, and do
not hesitate to say so. Below we
give few of the communications
touching on the subject:
Redemption Draweth Nigh"

Dear Editor: is gratifying to
know that true Christianity is not
barred from the columns of the Mir
ror under your management and it
makes one feel good to see your sug-
gestion for a full attendance at
chapel next Sunday. The Mirror
since my confinement here, has here
tofore been run without any seeming
regard for the real wants of the in
mates. To tickle the ear is all right
in some instances; but what every
man confined behind prison bars
wants most of all is little sunshine
in his heart. You are helping to
bring that about. Every man can
be saved if he is approached in the
right way. The first year in prison
will bring the hardest heart to God,
if given little Encouragement, but
let that year pass, and it is hard, yes
very hard to reach his better-self--
but it can be done and your move
is in the right direction to start the
heart throbs, bringing one to a true
realization that, yes there is still a
God, Our Father Mother IN Israel.
God speed your efforts for the good
of us men and women behind these
walls. General Stonewall.
Editor Mirror, Sir:-As one of
the old timers who has been in this
prison for macy years, want to tell
you that I certainly appreciate what
the Mirror suggests about going to
chapel next Sunday, and to say that
we will be there. / don't think |
have attended the services for over
year; maybe longer, but you have
appealed to us men that you are CIV
ing your time and talents to, to 90
to chapel aud / know you wouldn't
do it if it was not for our own good,
so we will sure be in line next Sun
day.
