No matter how the Wickersham or other committees may condemn pris- on methods and prison conditions, the fact remains that prisons are de- vised and operated for one main pur- ose and that is to keep the man convicted of felony in the place where society has placed him until Society says he may return to it. Ordinarily we do not think of the men in prisons as really “bad.” Many of them are not criminals at heart, but are weak. Others ere the vic- tims of causes beyond their control. Some men have gone to prison for doing things which other men have done and remained free. But these difficulties in the ad- ministration of justice have no bear- ing on the operation of a prison. Once a man is behind the bars it is his bad luck, and’ the justice or in- Justice of his being there is not the business of his keeper. Away from the gangster centers, as the Utah prison is and as we are here in North Dakota, one would not expect to find many hardened crim- inals. But this thought vanishes| When one examines the records of some of the men now being enter- tained at the local bastile. It is true that many of the more hardened offenders are not natives|tempt to escape has been considered but have come into the state, com- mitted a crime, been detected, con- victed, and sent to prison. Frequent-. jy they have been in other prisons. And they are just as anxious to es- cape from a penitentiary in an agri- cultural state as they would be to; get away from New York's Sing Sing. Wardens and jailers have to keep these things in mind when they plan to keep their charges where they be- long. The fact that. eternal vigilance is necessary is demonstrated by the ‘Utah incident. One Lifetime ‘When Lujo Brentano, famed Ger- man economist, died Wednesday in Munich at the age of 87, the world lost a man who had spent a lifetime in: pricking the bubbles of “isms” and “ologies” presented by many who Would advance the progress of the world. Himself a progressive thinker, Brentano lived to see many of the reforms and -suggestions which he urged while young become common- Place things. On the other hand, Brentano knew that evil'can spring from un- sound: practices no matter how well- intentioned, and, at the same time he ‘was opposing the capitalistic impe- tialism of Germany's “Iron Chancel- Jor,” for whom our own city is named, he was‘fully as vigorous in exploding the truisms of Karl Marx, father of socialism. Agrarian schemes in plenty were suggested in Germany, just as pro- posals for the relief of agriculture ‘are found.on every hand in America today. Brentano opposed those which he considered unsound and contrary to the principles of economics. For this and for his other services to hu- manity,-the world owes him a debt of gratitude. The changes which occurred in the world during that one lifetime, how-| (¢ 09 | Arthur” Daily by mail outside of North Dakota 6.00 3.50 150 2.00 Job is not.to grow enough to eat but to distribute the largess which nature! has given us. The past generations, lacking edu- less now are faint-hearted indeed. The record which time has com- Ibe within the span of one lifetime should give us courage. The Virtue of Pride In the debate in the house of com- mons recently, Prime Minister Ram- say MacDonald clashed with “Uncle Henderson, his erstwhile lieutenant in Britain’s labor party. The question was not one of how Britain should balance her budget, but of whether drastic action is nec- essary at all. MacDonald said “yes” and Henderson said “no.” The rea- sons advanced show us two different types of men. MacDonald, knowing that the coun- try is headed for financial ruin un- less it puts its affairs in shape, con- tended that adjustment of its budget is imperative. Regardless of the sac- rifices entailed, he said, Britain must Preserve her credit. He admitted that it would be s heart-breaking, soul- searing Job but what else, he asked in effect, is England to do? Henderson, admitting the plight of the government, answered that it is unnecessary for England to do any- thing. His idea is that the United States and France, to whom the col-. lapse of England would admittedly be @ calamity, would not let Britain fail; that they would come to her rescue. In a way, Henderson probably is correct. The results of a complete collapse in England would have re- Percussions everywhere arid particu- larly in this country and France, the great creditor nations, although France probably would’ be less-con-| cerned than we, But the Henderson idea, the same on once-merry England, typifies: a. new kind of Englishman, the craven who would gamble the nation’s wel- fare on the hope that other nations would extend alms. MacDonald typifies the best in those generations who think of doing} _ which has fixed the dole system up-|. English tradition. His kind of Eng- Ushmen were those who held on at Ladysmith; who kept fighting with! Napoleon until the Little ‘Corporal met Waterloo; who have earned re-' spect for British pluck throughout, the world and who have created an’ empire upon which the sun never sets. His kind of Englishman has Pride and courage. - F One gets the idea, in comparing the attitudes of MacDonald and Hender- son, that here is a very good defini- tion of the diffetenice between a statesman and a politician. Escaping Devil’s Island Evidence that hope.springs eternal, is sten in the escape of the six con- viots from Devil's Island, the French) penal colony off the South American coast, recently. ‘ Twelve attempted to escape. Bu six were drowned. Making the at- almost tantamount to suicide. ‘Yet these men, convicted as felons, staked everything they had for an- other chance at freedom. Whether they hoped to return to socicty as respectable citizens is a question, but it is totally evident that they had de- termined that death was just as good as remaining on that isle. Liberty, after all, is mighty precious.

Way Out (New York World Telegram) Labor ‘day proved one thing—the country is thinking about unemploy- our worst national depression, but we have .at-least progressed to the point where we face facts. That is a big gain. If we had faced facts some time ago we could have prevented much of the present havoc. Thatis what most of the business men, Jabor leaders and politicians who made speeches Monday were do- ing—trying to understand this’ -de- pression so that the suffering may be shortened and may be avoided “next In general the discussions centered around the need for advance plan- ning in future industrial production and in public works projects. Fortu- nately that has become a truism. Others pointed to the high tariff and prohibition as contributing causes of depression and federal deficits— causes which, unfortunately, are not Partial remedies proposed by the Labor Day orators included: The five-day week, maintenance of standard wages, aboltiion of child la- bor, unemployment insurance, gov- ernment economies and a fairer dis- tribution of wealth through increased taxes on the rich. ‘The of emergency u=:m- ployment relief for this winter was bor, and United States Senator Pat!
