figures compiled by Dan b. Herring,
parole officer at the state penitenti-
ary at McAlester show that 2SS men
on parole during the past fiscal year
saved the state s51 1876 on account
Of the fact that the men were not
being fed by the state. The same
compilation of figures shows that Il
cost 4o cents head per diem to
keep the prisoners. Considering the
saving made to the state, the parole
officer says the state is amply justi-
fled in granting the men the clem-
ency of the parole, besides the con-
duct of the men now on parole adds
to the reason why these men should
be given freedom pending good be-
