Ihls community is charged

Let's get busy and blow.
Let's pull some OF those man

close other conditions Of more

shall be my aim to reveal them AZ
they have existed, and 40 they still
exist and live in the hope that the
better element Of society will bear
with me and have confidence enough
to at least half way believe me, and
then look into and improve their pris-
on, so that when q Judge sends a man
there to be reformed, that the sen
tence Of the court will be fulfilled. As
conditions exist there now, It is moth
ing more than q breeding place of
