TO be transferred to Don't Worry
Camp" Opportunity t. go is reward
for good conduct
In time, 1t is believed. the camp will
not only be self-governed. but also
selfsupporting, and the mems labor
can be paid for without cost to the
state. The success OF this experiment
win not only mean revolution in Pc
nology, but be cause for rejoicing to
the taxpayer.
Every human being who goes wrong
should have chance to redeem him
self, to try again, and he ought to
have an opportunity that is favorable
He ought not to be put In an environ.
ment where everything around him
suggests the crooked, the wicked, where
everything tends to arouse the brute
In him to develop the evil thing in him.
the love of revenge, bitterness, hatred
and to kill the good. He ought to be
In an environment which would help
him to forget the bad, which would
only suggest the good, the pure, the
clean, which would suggest his divine
iy, not his beastly, propensities, and
which would hold out hope Of another
chance chance to make good.
The brutal instinct lingering in man
has been graphically illustrated In our
cruel, inhuman treatment of prisoners,
and in our barbaric slaughter OF hu-
man beings, upon whom the death
penalty has been pronounced. Justice
does not demand such an exhibition of
horrors. There must be some more
human way of treating our erring
brothers.
How can we expect criminal to
get back the self respect which he
has lost, by cruel treatment, by half
starving him, treating him like an
animal instead OF like man, putting
him in an iron cage away from God
light and air?
There is good material, ability
enough, energy, resources enough in
these people we thus deprive of lib
erty and life. to perform great services
to humanity as well as to themselves
and their families. What right have
we to deprive them at least of a
chance to make good? How often the
crime we commit against our prison
ers is far greater than their crime to
society!
IL we wish to reform prisoners we
should try to make them self respect
ing, healthy beings. Their environ
ment should be as attractive and as
normal as possible. Reform means
hea1thful. normal conditions. The
mind is in no state to improve or re-
form when suffering from mental de-
preston due to the vicious, criminal
suggestive environment, where every
thing reminds the prisoner Of his fall,
or his inferiority, and everything
about him tends to impress upon him
the fact that he is not a human being,
but an outcast.
We have all felt the restful, restor-
ing, renewing power of beautiful
scenery, of country life. Why should
we deprive a prisoner Of these helps
to health and normality? Nature is a
great restorative, and criminals should
be kept where they can get the full
benefit of the sunlight, air and country
life, in an environment which would
suggest only the good and true, filled
with possibilities of recovering lost
manhood and starting fresh.

ANOTHER CHANCE TO MAKE

IN the state of New Jersey Col. Ed
ward A. Stevens, commissioner OF
- public works, is trying an expert
ment with convict camp, which
hasn't even fence around 1t. Thirty
prisoners were sent there from the
over-crowded Trenton prison, to work
on the highways: and the idea is not
only to improve the roads but to Inn
prove the prisoners and TO help solve
the prison problem.
The workers have named It the
Don't Worry Club, while It is known
officially as State Camp No. l. The
word convict. and the idea OF pris-

There are no cells, and although there
are several guards, they mingle with

their days labor IL finished they enjoy
baseball, music or any other heaIthful
amusement.
The men are selected on merit from
