HAWES, timberman, It was the name of a humble man, and will be remembered only by his loved ones. Yet it deserves a place in the world’s honor roll, Hawes, at Belling- ham yesterday, gave his life, simply, bravely, to save another life, He rescued a girl from drowning and sank himself. A man who writes under the name of “Donald Lowrie” recently issued a book telling us his experiences in San guess prison, California, a place made rather notorious as enforced residence of Abe Ruef and the MeNamaras. We believe the book should be placed in the hands of y state legislator and every state prison commissioner Packed to the brim with facts, with no false whine for pity, but often with the saving sense of humor, it nevertheless con Stitutes a tremendous indictment of our prison systems and our so-called civilization. Penologists say prisons are maintained in order that men who commit offenses against society may be made to see the error of their ways and come out of durance as future good ’ members of society. As a matter of fact, most of our present) . s make beasts of the prisoners and brutalize the keepers.) are poisonous in every way. So long as we lock men into narrow cells with practically ventilation and little cleanliness, so long as we force them kaa punishments that are savage, our boasted twentieth ury is not very far in advance of the tortures and prisons of the middle ages, which we so love to call “dark.” The very beasts in the menageries are treated better than ied inmates of state prisons. We will begin to make men offenders against the law only when we begin to treat them as men. NORTHWEST improvement clubs held a very successful convention here this week.
