each prisoner and 10 guards besides
While the prisoners were eating. six
or eight guards walked along. car
rying clubs and revolvers. and there
were two guards with shotguns at
the doors ready for any attempt OF
riot. The officers were always afraid
Of 4 riot. and Yet on the evening

prisoners were in positions where
they could have used all the arms
they would need. if they had wanted
4 real riot.
This is bat an example of the way
the human mind works when it
comes TO deal with prisoners" he
said. He told of other incidents he
had seen in his experiences which il
Illustrated this point He told of one
case at a prison he had visited where
prisoner had been chained to the
wall in a cell for six years. and that
man with others was committed to
the insane hospital after being re-
leased from prison.
The speaker pointed out that the
naval prison system is rigid. but not
brutal. He then pointed out Il les

stead of $50 guards for 40 prisoners.
makes SO many more men for Tn
Gle Sam TO use in the more important
work overseas
The system of the Mutual Wei
fare League was then explained hy
the speaker. He estimated that 20
per cent. Of the fellows under this
rule made good. He read letters
from men who told OF the great eff
feet which this league had upon
their lives. He pointed out that by
this system the prisoners are made
to feel sense of responsibility and
this has an effect which cannot be
produced by putting them in cells
and making them march by the bell
He spoke Of the imaginery lines Of
the prison. of the fence outside
which any man could climb over #
he had wanted to. and of the small
number of guards employed to keep
the men in order. 1t is a system by
which the prisoners practically gov
ern themselves and in which the
spirit Of Democracy. good citizen
ship and brotherhood exists
The speaker told how well this
system had worked out at Sing Sing
while he had been warden there
The League was also very effective
at the Portsmouth Naval prison and
the prisoners exerted their powers in
the right direction. At one time they
gave a musical comedy at Ports
mouth. clearing Up the sum Of 1890
for the Red Cross auxiliary.
The advantages Of this system ov-
er the old system under which the
prisoners were allowed absolutely
no freedom. was pointed out by 1t.
Commander Osborne. who made i,
plain that this is the right way to
make this class Of. men become good
citizens. The only pleasure for the
prinsoners under the old system
was to get ahead of the guards. Tn
der the system Of the Mutual Wei
fare League this thought does not
come 10 the prisoners; they can de-
vote their energies to better work
tending to make them useful and
trustworthy citizens in a community.
At the close of his address. Lieut..
Commander Osborne answered many
questions relating to prison reform
and the Mutual Welfare League.
Among the facts that he brought
cut was that each year $4,000 men

hopper danced and sang and fiddlet
his time away. Winter came; the an

to the ant and asked for help. SAID
the ant: while | worked, you fooled
your time away. You can dance now
for all | care
Are you an ant-person or a grasshop
per-person? Some time are you going
to have to ask for help and will some
one tell you to dance; or will you be
independent?
II you save now, you'll have later
on. Let the end of every week find
more Thrift Stamps on your card Al
