PRISONS AIM TO AID, NOT PUNISH CONVICTS

Rev. O. L Kipplinger, Chaplain at Michigan City, Tells of Methods Used in Treatment of Criminals There. How convicts are really rtforrnl ; and released from prison to go out , Into the world to th benefit of society Instead of Lein ftnt out, bitter, hardened against th world and Intent upon a life of crime was told by Hev. Orvlll I Kip;liner. chaplain of Michigan City pri in in an irnprf sive addre at tho A. last nUht to members of the M-ltins Pot. The speaker told of the gre.it good that has come of modern prison innnagement practk-tl at th Indiana penitentiary, and compared results of methods ued today with thoso of other years when corpora! junlhrnent. vlk livlnsr quartern and other condition made prison management almost a crime in itself. Aid Men rcitrn Trades. "Economy, humanity and religion demand much more of prisons than the mere detention of men behind four walls, the barn of cells and punishment." said Hv. Kipplinger. "Today we make an attempt to separate tho younger prisoners and those who are not hopelessly lost from the hardened criminals and fit them for lives that will he a benefit to society. There are trade schools and when the men are released they are in a position to take up life among their fellows and hold their own. 'The indeterminate and paroled Fentences and the suspended sentence laws have made great reform possible in prison management. These laws were passed with the fact In mind that no man should h pnt to prison unless the welfare of sdety demands it and any man should be released that would be a benefit to society. "In the Michigan Citv prison a few days ago there were 1.1-7 prisoners of the first grud- and but of the yccond grade. These grades distinguish the men of good conduct from the unrulv prisoners. The fact that out of 1.200 prisoners there are but f.S who are In the second class speaks well for present methods. "We have abolished the lock step that in former years pent men out into the world marked for life and made it difficult for them to get honest employment. We have done away with corporal punishment. There are no guards and no officials within the prison walls who carry weapons and the conditions are most Fanltary in the prif oner's quarters, the mes room and other departments of the institution. The cells are clean and roomy with wash bowlt? and toilet, electric lights and shelves for the few belongings of the prisoner". Should He raid. J hope the time will come when the state will pay every prisoner a fair wage for his work and deduct an amount for his keep while in the institution and turn over to him the residue at the expiration of his term. In this way the men would he given valuable education and experience to hencfit them when they take up their lives again in freedom." The speaker was introduced by Judge V. A. Funk who made an interesting talk upon present methods of courts in dealing with criminals and law breakers Mrs. J. A. Rhoda sanR a solo as the first number of the program. t JUNIORS PLANNING BAAR AYM liaise 1'iiiids to Purchase Uft For Hih School.

I UNCLE SAM MAY BUY CARS AND MAKE TEST WASHINGTON. Dec. 0. Practical trial of government ownership of railway mall service is proposed in a bill approver! Monday by the house postoIMces and postroads committee. The measure would appropriate 100.000 to be used by the postmaster general in buying and operating a number of cars as an experiment. The average construction cost, reports the committee, is about $11,000 a year for 60-foot steel cars. The average cost to the government for leasing mail cars, all of which are now owned by the railroads is approximately $6,000 per car per year. The railroads receive compensation for carrying the mall on an average of $10,627.97 per car annually, which makes the annual cost to the government about $16,000 per car. The average life of a steel car, it is estimated, is about 15 years and the maintenance cost per car anywhere from $1,700 to $3,000 a year, according to age. SUKS ON XOTK.

WILL PROTECT WILD ANIMALS

Society Organizing its I Woes at Heme, Switzerland, and Kxpcctd to Conduct 3"iglit. i BEUNE, Switzerland. Dee. ?. An International committee for the protection of wild animals is organizing its forces at its headquarters in Basel for a world-wide campaign. The committee was appointed by the "International Congress for the Protection of Wild Animals," which met hero recently on tho initiative of the Swiss government. Seventeen countries were represented including the United .States. The most urgent work of the committee will be to obtain the passage of laws stopping the wholesale destruction of whales anclneals, which threatens to exterminate those species in a few years. Attention will be turned to the fur animals, birds of paradise, egrettes and big game, such as elephants. There are now in Africa only 400,000 elephants and these are being killed at the rate of 40,000 a year. The committee not only will devote itself to animals, but will attempt to put an end to the slow extermination of the primitive peoples of Australasia and South America. It is proposed to form vast zones, both on land and sea which will be closely watched and patrolled by the variou? governments, but as the cost of doing this efficiently would be high, the various nature protection league will be asked to contribute to the expense. The sea control would be the most difficult but the countries to which this would principally fall are the United States, England and Itussia, and they have already taken certain initiatives towards the protection of animal life.
