Mutiny in California Prison
Called Lesson to RefOrmers

thority at bay for hours. There should
have been no chance for them to OBJ
tain or secrete weapons. They are
the worst of bad men, Once
in prison, men who menace safety
should be absolutely without chance
of escaping"
"It is easily understood why the
seven claimed to be the directing force
should attempt the organization of a
rebellion" remarks the Santa Rosa
Press Democra:, "but it is hard to un-
derstand why more than a thousand
of the ordinary prisoners could be in
duced to join. them, considering all
that was at stake. Why did they take
chances on losing their limited liber-
ties and all their credits for good be-
havior?"
That the mutiny "points a lesson"
is the conclusion of the Pasadena
Star-News, which explains: "That des-
perate essay was doomed to failure.
Hardened criminals are confined In
that prison. The cunning of some Of
them succeeded in starting the mu.
tiny. But the mutineers found-and
that quickly-that the whole power
of the State was against their mur-
derous outbreak. Not only the Ma
tional Guard and peace officers of
cities and counties but private citi-
zens rallied to prevent escape of these
lawless men. who are confined not
alone as punishment for crime COM
mitted out as a safeguard to society"
American methods of prison dis
cipline need general overhauling,"
insists the st. Paul Dispatch. stand
ards of management need to be re.es-
tablished and observed. Better men,
perhaps men with military training.
need to be employed as executives.
Political interference should be held
to a minimum. Guards and other as
sistants of greater fitness should he
used. A prison system which encour-
ages mutiny instead of obedience and
turns criminals loose upon society in
stead of OBTAINING them defeats the
purpose of it's existence"

The Police and Local Crime.

Maj. Hesse's admonition to the
police Of the District to "get busy" to
check the prevalence of crime in
Washington does not imply that the
members of the force have been
negligent OF their duty. They have
assuredly been as active as their
numbers and the large area requir-
ing patrol permit. While there have
been some fragrant crimes of late.
and especially one series confined to
a certain neighborhood, there is moth

SHOOTING STARS.

PunktiliOus Defamation.
To speeches we will listen
AS the days go swiftly by.
Sometimes our eyes will glisten,
And with sentiment we'll sigh.
Sometimes we will be merry,
And believe dull care is sunk.

One truth is quite plenty
To inspire a tedious talk,
Where long pages, ten or twenty. 3
Cause an auditor to balk.
And long to take his station

characteristic furniture, silver, pic
lures, rugs and linen.
Material connected with the life of
Lincoln, it was explained at the
division Of history of the National
Museum, is rarer and consequently
more valuable than is the case with
most of the Presidents. Lincoln re-
manned poor man to the end of his
life and had acquired little in the way
of household goods. He was true to
the democratic type and lived and
dressed simply. He had few clothes
and received practically no decora-
tions.
The Ford Theater building, DIR.
Moore believes, could also be made
the depository of Civil War library
and become headquarters for Civil
War veterans.
The building was originally a Bap.
fist church, which was remodeled into
a theater in 1861.
