that the desired end rimy be'accom-
plished
llio cwnnnltteo will find thut the
manner of working convicts In not
calculated to neneflt tha prlsonura

tbo policy of nonsegregation in calcu-
lated to make unfortunate men bad
and bad men worse. They will lltul
that practical abolition of tho parole
tysteru has worked for the detrlivnt
of society and placed a premium upon
reactionary prlwonem. They will find
that llie morals of tho convict farms
nnd cntnpH nre utterly deplorable and
negro women prisoners have been
mistreated. They v/lli find that tho |
sordid theory of monoy>'e(tlu^ ban j
overshadowed ail other Interests lit '
the Stale's penal Myntein end that men j
have beet, worked beyond the limit of
human endurance to make the profit
side of the ledger show up properly
for approval of tho management They
v.ll! find that, there has been no effort
to reform men sentenced to terms in
tho penitentiary They will find that.,
«ft"r a terir. of Imprisonment, tho dis-
charged prisoner la usually lens valu-
»ble io his family nnd to tho com-
munity than he was before Incarcera-

There fa a grand work at hand for

commendation of right thinking peo-

idojrraeut that will be tor the general
good of the Htate, nuch an building of

division whereby those dependent
npon prisoners shall receive part of
tho fruits of the prisoner'* labor; by
o.ixpioym'int of prisoners In noccom-
pallMre linen whereby free labor will
not b»> placed In competition with

era will bo made hotter agalnat tine

lr.ff given a poet graduate course In

system of pardons and paroles and, If

An Infallible Danger Signal.
The usual wonderment Is caused by lite
Rticcess of a spurious nobleman, John
Madson, well along In year*, in duping a
flr.&en or more women In different cities
by sham marriage*, preparatory to tho
customary robbery In which such adven-
turers arc skfiled
There Is not mu£h uso to moralize about
caution and common sense as factors
that were plainly Indicated In each and
fill of these oase* as obvious nnd avail-
able agencies protection against Irripo-
s tlon' of thai transparent style. Tlio
wf>l'»ws and divorced women of middle
age, chosen by this matrimonial faker for
Itis dupes, were doubtless all permoated
by the romance which deems to keep pace
In women with the maturity of their
} ears, and whl'-h l<i always responsive to
the glamour of titles real or bogus.
The bigamist record of Madson prove®
him to have been a past master in tlio
use of flattery In the aro of wooing,
also, practice does not tend to subtract
from perfection Likewise men who set
out to "lend captive silly women" have a
discriminating eye for subjects, and for
that matter, penetration 1* not essential
Iri finding women hospitable to the In-
flnctice of adulation-
Aside, therefore, from one phase of th*
cr.mptt.Ign methods of Madson, there Is
nothing In hb* various conquests to pro
voke astonishment, lie told the old, old
