He frankly declared the same sentiménte. “Hanging doesn't do a bit of good, and. it makes things bad here. If they ate going to hang a man as a deterrent, they ought to do it in the county where he is convicted. Why Not let the sheriff hang him? That would bring the deterring effect loser home, wouldn't it?” Drum would like to so other Prison industries, rather than the Manufacture of jute bags, estab Hshed at Walla Walla. The jute mill fg not a paying institntion. It will cost. the state considerable money this year. It is impossible to com- Pete with the jute bag manufac- turers of India, for the Indian labor fe much cheaper than the convict r. Drum has some theories of prison Management and the handling of criminals which he is now preparing to put out in form of a small pam- Dhiet. MALCOLM DOUGLAS will tell "em all about it tonight.
