POLICY NEEDED.
CONSTANT AGITATION AND CHANGE IN
THE PRISON POLICY DETRWEN TAL.
Some Timely and Sensible Suggestions
fc Look Ins to Permanent Results in
tbe Management of the peni-
tentiaries. Superintendent Goree in hia report
of the penitentiaries has this to say
relative to a stable and definite policy
in the control of the prisons:
A STABLE AND DEFINITE POLICY NEEDED.
One groat cause of failure in peni-
tentiary management in the United
States has been because of the fickle-
ness of legislation in changing from
one systf m to another in response to
popular clamor.
Hon. Chas. E. Filton ex-superintendent
of the Chicago House of Cor-
rection one of the most experienced
practical and accomplished prison
men in the country presents this evil
in the following vigorous language in
hio report of 1888 :
"Upon crime and its punishment
public sentiment is often devoid of
reason. It is irate uncompromising
and vengeful. It is noisy demon-
strative and aggressive. It i einc-
tional convulsive and gushy. It is
lickle sympathetic and foolish. One
day it is affirmative; the following day
it is negative. It is riotous ; it is joy-
ous. When followed it is disturb-
ing not healing. A crime hav-
ing been committed it cries "c pture
the fiend and hang him 1" When the
offender has been arrested pity is sub-
stituted for passion and the drama
commences. Ttie trial is in pickets
was it the criminal or his victim or
the officer who made the arrest who
was most guilty? Tragedy becomes
farce and the farco continues. When
in prison if the culprit goes there
shall he earn the food he eats the
clothing he wears and contribute by
labor toward the expanse he creates?
Public sentiment ha3 said "No" and
it has said "Yes" and it is now ring-
ing in changes "Yes" "No" "No"
"Yes" and "No" again in Bahel-like
confusion. Years ago Mleness wits
the unvarying rule. Later industries
Tvere established; and their influence
H i l ... .. -.11:
WaS excellent. n.1 piencm (iui
'thought is doubting is divided but
the opponents to piion labor seem to
have the greatest intnienct over legis-
lators. In this state the lessee sys'.em
was in vogue; then the public ac-
count; theii the contract and now the
public account again revolving scenes
in prison nianngemeut at the dictum
of public sentiment or public clamor.
The arrest and trial of criminal and
-tlreir treatment while in prison should
not be controlled by fickle public sen-
timent. All such matters should be
conducted in a purely business way.
Sentimentality has little place in
courts and in prisons. Laws are iust;
judges are honest; juries are humane;
and prison officers are earnest in their
wish to be of benefit to erring man-
kind and if the latter are not able
plenty of men can bo found for tic
positions who are. Hence legislators
should not embarrass prison managers
"by unfriendly legislation or unjust
criticism in response to public clamor
or public thought which is as fickle
.as the wind."
Of course this evil has not prevailed
to any great extent in Texas legisl
tion but there is a constant agitation
of the question which is always more
or less detiimental and cripples any
penitentiary management in efforts
towards progress and reform.
TEXAS POLICY.
The legislature should after careful
consideration declare in no uncertain
-terms what is to be the policy and svs-
tem in regard to the penitentiaries
.and convicts aud tbi. i 1. !. '.l.c
gement of penitentiaries press for-
ward towards the accomplishment of
-whs tever it determined on.
The end aim;d at mn.y not be
Teached in years but when it is
known where thedestinat.ion is it can
be kept steadily in view und no use-
less steps taken to reach it.
In the determination of the proper
policy the object of punishment as
defined in our criminal code should
toe the first and priucip.il toubiJera-1
tion. Art. 2 of the criminal coie is
follows: "The object oi punishment
is to suppress crime aud reform the
offender."
We reluctantly confess that hereto-
fore not much has been accomplished
-towards the reformation of criminals
in Texas. Even in the prison proper
not sufficient attention bus been
given by prison officials to this im-
portant requirement of the law be-
cause their time is monopolized with
other duties We are looking too
tnuc'h after financial success rather
than moral reformation.
The chaplain alone must not be
Telied on to make the depraved and
crooked grow straight and symmet-
rical but every officer of the prison
froin superintendent down must take
part in the work if much ia to be ac-
complished. The principal officer in charge of a
prisoner should seek to know each
convict to know what is his mental
and physical organization in order to
treat his disease as a physician treats
disease.
The greatest requisito for a prison
manager in all parts of hi work and

iI1gMlia-ilgTggr
efpeeiallv in efforts to bring about
reformation is good practical com-
mon Hcnse.
Moral and physical infirmities go
together to a great extent and m
order to assist in the curing of moral
disease the services of a physician are
required to remedy the physical ail-
ments. He should be present all the
time and seek to become acquainted
with the physical organization of
every convict under his charge and
fully co-operate with the prison man-
ager in Lie work of genuine reform-
ation. After all of this is done there is a
stronger probability of greater good
resulting from the labors of the chap-
lain. Our preseut system of out-
side labor is a great drawback
in carrying on any work of re-
formation because of the constant
change of prison population. The
remedy for this will be to find outside
work which will be permanent in its
nature and then make such provisions
looking toward tho reformation of
criminals as ought to be had at the
prison proper.
It is a fact very generally admitted
in these days of prison reform that
not much can be hoped for in the're-
formation of criminals under a sys-
tem which mixes all grades oi ofl'eu-
'ors psr.asr-voualy in the prisons
from the youth committing his first
crime bcuig associated with the oldest
and most hardened offender.
There are many convicts who a$f
incorrigible and whose reformation
cannot be expected but there are
many who can be relormed n proper
provision be ' made so that thev can
be beparated irom old ana hardened
offenders. This should by all means
be done even at the expense of a
third pemtontiary or reformatory to
which hopeful cases may be Rent es
pecially lor the purpose of reforming
them.
LAIiOH IS NECESSARY.
In adopting a definite prison policy
provision should be made for convicts
to labor whild in prison for labor is
necessary in tbt work of reformation
and 10 should be useful and remuuer
ative la ior. Useful in order to train
the convict to habits of labor and to
give him the inclination and ab
to earn an honest livelihood when he
again enters the world and remuner
alive because he should be made to
support himself while in prison and
not be a burden and tax upon society
whose lawn he has violated. There
may be labor without retormation
but not much reformation without
metal remunerative labor.
In the organization of a penitentiary
system important matters for consid-
eration would be the question whether
seiit''uces for crime tlioiiM be for a
spe' ial term of yea-s or indeterminate
or indefinite. The latter system is
being tried with good results. 'Die
letails of the system differ but the
plan with which I am most favor-
ably i-npressed is the one foradefinite
minimum sentence tho prisouor not
to bo discharged before that time but
at any time afterward when ther is
MUfHeient evidence of reformation to
justify it.
As a part of the indefinite sentence
Hyetew there is sometimes a parile
system under which . convicts who
prove worthy may be permitted to get
employment outside the walls in any
part of the state but still to be under
the supervision of the prison officials
until they deem him worthy of final
discharge.
These systems have strong support-
ers amongst the most experienced
prison men in the country.
There is also the question of a more
complete kit ntificnMon of rriminaK
so that when a convict i discharred
anf? returned to crime life he mav be
encily identified as an old offender
The Wardens' association of the
United States has presented
and recommended for adoption
by the different states what
is known as the Bc rtillon svstem for
" ----- ?1v.4:finoi-.ri r.'
iriniinals by which it is claimed that
if adontM by every prison in the
pout. try it would bo the means of
identifying old offenders punishing
thrni as they des rvi and tloine much
toward locating the pource of crime
and cheeking its growth.
J have not time or sp-ice to dwell
upon these innovations that are being
tried and it is claimed with success
elsewhere but mention them to call
theni .j Ui'j uttsr.tion of those
interested in establishing tbe best
prison svsiem possible in Texas.
Progress is being m&do everywhere in
prison reform and it is hoped that.

precession. I had the honor und er
ornninirrent. from the trovenrr to at-
tend a recent session of the National
Priion AsKnriation of Amerie held a t
Cincinnati O. and I am sure that I
was much benefited by listening to
thn discussions and especially by an
interchange of ideas with practical
prison managers.
An appropriation should he made to
pay the expenses of those having
charge of our prisons including the
physicians and chaplains to the an-
nual meeting of this association for I
am sure much good would result there-
from to our prison interests.

OF AND FOR TEXAS.
A CHAT WITH JOHN HOWARD ABOUT
ADVERTISING AUSTIN.
He Strongly Intlmntes That Now Is the
Time to Go to Work.
"Yes sir. I am still sitting around
waiting for something to turn up
said John Howard to a representative
of The Statesman yesterday evening.
"Why don't you turn loose and 'dig
up' something and not wait for it to
come to you?" was asked of Howard.
"Ask me something easy. You had
better see the advertising committee.
They can inform you why we are not
letting the outside world know all
about Austin and its advantages and
resources."
"Salary going on?" was asked.
"Oh yes. No trouble about salary
and by the way that is quite an item
of expense $250 per month figures out
a fraction over $8 per day and as I
never have had a reputation for being
ornamenti.1 1 don't very well see how
the good people of your city cau get
even on me unless tney put me to
work."
"In the interest of truth" continued
Howard "I must say that I don't
think I can earn $8 per day for Austin
or any other city by sitting around.
No; I am no 'wall flower' and if the
citizens of Austin expect to make
money out of my services which I
naturally infer they do or they
wouldn't employ me they had better
be up and doing. Go see the commit
tec. Dun't ask me 'what's the mat
ter?' They can give you full particu
lars and no doubt will take pleasure in
going into details. ies sir as you
say I ought not to complain if they
don't. Austin is a delightful place
to live in and I am living on
the "fat of the land" bo to speak.
"Again speaking of advertising"
said John "the citizens of Austin
were. 1 think fortunate in their selec
tion of a committee. I have run over
the list carefully and have met the
gentlemen in person and am g t'.in
quite well acquainted with them and
I do believe tuey have and I know
liiey should have the confidence of
the peuple. They are all workers and
thoroughly reliable aud responsible
gentlemen. It must be that the peo-
ple don't quit.e understand the work
we hve before us or its importance
or something. Well as I said in the
start I give it up and will have to re
fer you to the committee ana the
people. You know them as well or
better than I do. If it was 'fly time'
we might have some excuse to offer for
taking our time but at this season
ot the year. There is no apologv to

so to tpeak in regular old Jort Worth
or Dallas style and let us have a reg
ular old time "love feast" as it were
and then buckle on the harness and
go to work in good earnest and show
the people away from home what we
are made of.
Yes by all means let us do this or
take in our shingle and say "we are
just doing well tuough"and let it go at
that and I will returu to North lexas
and go to whooping up the Pan
Handle or some other section of the

AN ADDRESS
To the People of Austin and Vicinity.
At a mass meetinir of the citizens
held on the 2(5th tilt. tho undersigned
were appointed a committee charged
with the duty of advertising and mak-
n g known to the masses of the people
seeking homes health pleasure and
investment of capital the many ad-
vantages offered by our city and sur-
rounding country and if possible put
such agencies at work as will insure a
participation on the part of every
class of this community in the bene-
fits of the greatest era of progress
and prosperity upon which Texas
has entered.
The causes leading our people to
thin action are many but bo well
known they need not be enumerated
here.
Xour committee recognizing them
has responded to your call. On the
day after its appointment an organiza
tion was begun which is now com
pleted.
We have entered upon the work
your work the work of the people of
Austin and its vicinity with earnest
ness and zeal determined if possible
to carry out the trust you have re-
posed in us.
We are now ready for work. We
ask you to supply us with the means
wherewith we may accomplish this
work of yours.
We have organized ourselves and
cc-laborsra for Austin's welfare for a
six mouths' campaign. Muny of our
publio spirited citizens have responded
nobly with subscription to be paid
monthly during the next six months.
We ask you each and every citizen.
to give us jour aid by subscribing at
once what you are willing to pay dur
ing the next six months to this cause
We promise that the work of the
committee will be economically ad
ministered and its business conduct
preserved of record so that you may
i ave at any time an account of our
stewardship.
It is impossible for us to map out or
formulate our work until wo know
something of whet our resources will
be.
The amount now at our disposal
would only suffice for a scope of work
far beneath the dignity of such a city.
Our trust is that each citizen will take
a loyal pride in enrolling his name
with his offering no matter though it
be small upon the roster of helpers in
this grand work.
Fellow citizens Austin has done
and is doing much in her municipal
capacity for herself. She needs now a
work which cannot be so done and
calls to you through us. Let your
resp inse be worthy of yourselves and
the cause.
