ease and confident OF the outcome.
How easy few suspicious circum-'
stances in the hands sof a akillfnlI
lawyer may look up like mountains
in the victims pathsof freedom.
Then, what is mnre natural for that
victim to resort to lying and deceit
in his effort to free himself -even
though he be as innocent az a lamb
Then, caught in the lie. he is a
marked man. No doubt many a
man behind prison bars could tell
such a story.
There is another class of men in
every prison. There is the man
guilty of the crime he was charged
with-and still. far from vicious.
Many a man has been swayed by
anger or circumstances to the point
where he has committed an act of
rashness. Many a man has escaped
the consequences. But our prisons
today hold many prisoners who were
less fortunate.
Take the case of the prisoner Car
berry, sent up from a western coun-
ty three years ago for murder. He
drew thirty years. The circum-
stances surrounding the case, while
they show him guilty enough, do
not show that he was naturally
vicious or an outlaw, In drunken
quarrel one man was killed and Car
berry shot through the thigh. The
| jury found Carberry responsible for
| the death of the man killed. Car
berry claims he doesn't really know
much about the details Of the fight.
How could he? His brain was be-
cIouded with whiske!. He must
serve the penalty. 1t is only just
that he should But. some day he
will be released. Men who know
the circumstances " hen they see him
1 on the street, will point him out to
friends, "There Is the murderer,
Carberry." Those friends will at
once place him with the vilest crea-
lures of the earth. He may be far
better than they say. In fact, at
J the penitentiary he is a model and a
trusted man. He shows no sign of
being different than any other man
who walks our streets free and re-
spected. He is probably of about
the same character as many.
/, The day has not long passed when
a prisoner was considered as a dog
and treated as such. That day has
passed, however. In the prisons to-
day every effort is being made to re.
form the unfortuEates-not grind
them lower. Society must be pro.
tected, but all convicts arc not out
casts and should not be considered
as such With the present honor
systems in our prisons, the warden
is the only man perhaps in a doubt.

g9sT THE Record Is entered Ut linton postofice
assecond-class matter

Inst week the Record referred to
the visit of Attorneys Coventry and
Lane to the penitentiary at Bis
11arck where they visited with w.
a ssis Bud" Ferry and others Moth
ling so much as a visit of that kind
calls to mind the conditions of life
surrounding the more unfortunate
members Of society.
IT isn't necessary to argue the rea-
Sons why the convicts are convicts.
1T doesn't follow that society has been
at fault in any way. And even the
prisoners themselves are not neces-
sariiy to blame in every case.
1t is stated that of the two hun
dred and sixty-odd prisoners in the
state penitentiary at Bismarck at
the present time only one man is in
corrigible and cannot be handled
like the majority. Mr.. Coventry
tells of going to the warden's office
and asking to see Mr.. Ferry. An
attendant called into the next room,
Ferry, some one here who knows
you." Ferry appeared. He and
Mr.. Coventry went into room un-
occupied and visited to their hearts
content. Ferry had nothing but
praise for the treatment accorded
the prisoners at the institution.
Dnlya few weeks ago the state pa
spsrs carried the story of n prisoner
who was allowed to go to Montana
unattended to attend the funeral of
his mother. He went. and returned
. according to promise. The number
of TRUSTEES are in the preponder-
ance.. In fact. most of the men are
TRUSTEES" They feel that an eff
fort is being made to let them show
what good there is in them. They
rise to the occasion as we'll as would
any class Of men more fortunately
situated. Their time at the institu-
ton is one of usefulness. They do
an honest days work and they re-
ceive much better accommodations
than falls to the lot of many a man.
In fact. the life there would be far
from unpleasant but for the reason
that they know that they are prison
ers-a fact that appeals with repug-
nance to all mankind. They are
we'll housed and well fed. Their
guards and officers live on the same
food as do the prisoners. Many a
poor unfortunate on the outside
does not fare as we'll.
1t is generally conceded that a
man who wears striped clothing is a
vile creature to be stunned. A
man branded with the prison mark
is at a disadvantage in any walk of
life. Mankind has lost confidence
in him. Yet. perhaps that same
man may be far above many of the
respected ones in every sense.
There is not an intelligent person
who has watched the wheels of JUS
tice in motion that has not .appre-
ciated that justice is a relative
term. There is not an intelligent
person who has not been placed in a
position where it would not take a
very long jump to pu. him in a COM
promising position in the eyes of the
law and where the gates of the
prison might stare him in the face.
