SOMETHING RADICALLY WRONG

In his annual message to congress week age, Pres
ldent Hoover recommended additional prisons and
intelligent study of prison conditions throughout the
country.
from the number of riots which have occurred this year
in penal institutions the latest being yesterdays de-
Dauch at Auburn, New York, with toll of nine killed.
eght OF whom were convictS and the chief keeper
This marked the second outbreak of the year at Au-
burn They took lesson from the recent outbreak in
selzng the warden and seven of his guards whom they
held as hostages, demanding their liberty or they
would kill their captives.
Nothing but the reckless bravery of state troopers
saved the warden and his from the fate dealt to
the Colorado guards, who cruelty butchered by
the maddened convicts Using gas bombs, the troop
rescued the and eventually beat down the riot
The desperateness of the convicts is cited by the
statement of their leader Henry Sullivan to the chap
lain of the prison, who sought to dissuade him from
his plans. Acknowledging the good intentions of the
Chaplain. and expressing regret that he could not
cede to his request that the convcts surrender Sullivan
prison die in the attempt and that they died the
officials would die with them. Sullivan at least kept
his word and died fighting.
Prisons throughout the country are horribly over
crowded and each offers opportunity for such riot
that at Auburn Thus far each of half dozen at
tenpts made this year by convcts in various parts of
the country to gain their freedom has been frustrated
There is chance that such riot will succeed
and one shudderS to think what may happen with sew
er hundred hardened and desperate criminals turned
loose on community.
Overcrowding, it has been declared by Investigators
the basis for the unrest among the convcts Herdng
twice as many men into space it is designed to
hold is dangerous. 1t is bad for discipline as is
pampering, the other extreme There is happy med
ium which may be discovered by intelligent survey.

THE MARK or PREJUDICE

During recent football game, of the best known
radio announcers interrupted his broadcast to state
that he had received kilograms from persons listening
in who stated that he not giving fair broadcast
of the game
These telegram senders you understand, were per-
sons sitting by nice fireside hundreds of miles
from the gridiron where north wind had sent the
temperature down below freezing.
They, of course, couldn't sec single play on the
field since teevison has not yet been perfected; yet
because the they wanted to win the game not
walking away with the game, according to the broad
cast they decided the announcer was preJudiced and
promptly phoned telegram
Possibly that's fine for the telegraph companies but
it indicates most common fault of the American peo
pie Too many of them think that anyone who says
anything contrary to their preconceved opinions,
whether it be report of what happens on foot
ball field, prejudiced
How often ascribe improper motives to those with
whom we disagree. We may know very little about
some particular question: yet that doesn't prevent US
from talking lot about it and accuse all those who
have different opinions of being preJudced
Too many of US think that some Interior motive is
hack of some of the most trivial actions of those with
whom we associate
The real mark of prejudice is to accuse someone else
Of it. ----------- --
