BOALT. In theory a prison does two things: Restrains evil-doers who, if not restrained, would prey, on society; and so convinces them of the error of their ways that they will not want to prey, on society when they get out. Fi In theory all prisons are reformatories. They are intended to curb lawless and predatory instincts, and to make bad citizens over into good ones. The state denies with dignity any desire to “get even” with law-breakers. It punishes more in sorrow than in anger, Its attitude is similar to that of the parent who says to Willie: “This hurts me more than it does you.” i The public has now an illustration of how its reformatories do not reform. Two prisoners were arraigned before United States Commissioner Totten yesterday, for preliminary hearing; they were jointly charged with conspiracy to counterfeit. One of them was on the sunny side of 40, the other old and grey and bent. The younger man had taken the reformatory treatment prescribed by law once; the older one had taken it many times. Neither is an ordinary criminal type. i ADAMS’ PERSONALITY. George Edward Adams is a likeable man who extends to all he meets a friendliness that is almost appealing. His manner is frank. You feel on meeting him that his nature is sen- sitive and his spirit proud. You feel that he must be at heart a good man. Yet he stole gold dust from the assay office and served six years on MecNeil’s island. And now he is in trouble* again, Old John Webber is likeable in another way. conception of a crook as He is as far removed from the popular it is possible for a man to be. There is nothing, certainly, of the thug about him. He is a typical old gran’pap of the farm. His grey hair is bristling and con- trary. His rheumy eyes gleam humorously through steel-rimmed specs. When he shuts his mouth tightly his chin almost meets his nose, disclosing the fact that most of his teeth are gone. He watks stiffly, leaning on a stout cane. He talks with a drawl. Crooks and police in many states like him and call him “Pop.” ‘i WHY DID HE TURN CROOK? Why did old “Pop” Webber turn crook in the first instance?, And why did not the re- formatory process reform him? e “Pop” answers the first question; “I never had no home—leastwise not what ye cud call a home.” : fr He roamed, and, for a time, stayed honest because not tempted. But in the early 80's he had charge of a smelter in Utah. Silver dropped from $1.25 an ounce to 60 cents. In his wanderings he had met crooks, counterfeiters among them. He had a fair working knowl- edge of chemicals, For the first time he was tempted, and, lacking the moral foundation, fell, “Tt was easier to make my own money than to carn Uncle Sam's,” he says. He went to prison. He came out and again took to counterfeiting. From that day to this he has spent more than half his time behind bars, The reformatory. process has not re- formed him. \ How, then, about Adams? Adams had every chance. He was a “rising” man in Seattle, He had a good position, a fashionable wife, a beautiful home, membership in many clubs. Adams had wine tastes and a beer income. In Europe the criticism of American men is that they are slaves to their wives and families. Adams’ was an aggravated instance of that servitude at which Europeans marvel, He wanted his wife to “shine’—on $1,800 a year! He couldn’t manage on a salary so small, and so he stole gold which belonged to Uncle Sam. A change has come over Adams since the first time he was on trial—a change which is not wholly accounted for by the passing of years. When tried for looting the assay office, he was clearly stunned. He let his lawyers do the fighting. Yesterday, with the prison pallor still in his sunken cheeks, his eyes bright with sup- pressed excitement, he gave the appearance of a man with his back to the wall and prepared to fight. fie is not the man who went to McNeil’s island six’ years ago. When he came back, no home was waiting to welcome him. His wife had divorced him and legally renounced the name he had dishonored partly perhaps for her sake, He had no legal right to the child he loves. He brought from prison nothing but memories of six dreary years spent in company with hieves. He was raw material when he went in. He came out the finished product of the reforma- tory that does not reform, «
