Il am still in the naval service, -
Commander Osborne said in his state
ment. "and am attending strictly to my
duties at the naval prison. Moreover,
/ should never consider it my business
to reform prisons all over the country.

come to it; but the Job belongs to them,
not to me. know nothing Of any ex-
convict putting his millions into prison
reform. as has been intimated recent
ly. 1 wish did
Il repeat that it is the duty of the
citizens of each state to learn of the
actual conditions. to realize how crime
has increased, not diminished, under
prevailing prison methods. and then to
find the remedy. It is not hard to find
nor deeply scientific. 1t is merely an
