COUNTY JAILS AS SCHOOLS FOR CRIME

"The county Jail In your city of Omaha
Is a veritable Black Hole of Calcutta. It
Is a crime against the civilization of the
world. H Is a compulsory school of crime.
In a room no bigger than this pulpit plat-
term ore packed seventy men waiting for
trial , occupants of four cells. They have
no light on account of the Iron bars of the
windows and the cells. They have no beds ,
but nt night sleep side by sldeon the hard
floor packed together llko sardines. Among
the sevcntv are five hardened criminals ot
ho worst typo ; the others arc young men
unpolluted by crime. It Is a worse prison
hau any other In the whole country , except
the one In St Louis. Go and look for your
selves "
This startling arraignment of the Doug
las county Jail was made from the pulpit
of the St. Mary's Avenue Congregational
church yesterday morning by General U.
Hrlnkerhoff , chairman of the State Hoard
of Charities of Ohio and for a quarter
of a century engaged In prison reform
work He Is In the city as a delegate to the
TransmlsslsslppI Conference of Charltlts
and Corrections. He was Invited to occupy
the pulpit to speak of his work.
Hut vvhllo General Brlnkcrhoff thus con
demned the Jail system of Omaha he de
clared that It Is but a little vvorso than
that employed throughout the country , ex
cept In Isolated sections. Existing condi
tions discouraged him , despite the strenu
ous effort to reform them. Since the work
ot prison reform was started by John
lonard In England a century ago a vast
Improvement In the care of prisoners has
taken place In England and the remainder
of Europe , but In this country the same
old rut Is followed During the last twenty-
five jcars the men and women who have
engaged In the work have brought about
a revolution In the method of caring for
the Insane and Juvenllo delinquents , but
when It comes to the prison question the
United States Is far behind the rest of the
civilized world. The consequence Is an ap
palling possibility that General Brlnkerhoff
outlined In the following words :
Terrible IiicrviiNe of Crime.
"In 1S50 one oul of every 3,142 persons
was In prison ; In I860 one out of every
647 ; In 1870 one out of every 1,171 ; In 1880
ono out of every 855 ; In 1890 one out of
every 757. Do you know what these sta
tistics from the United States census re
ports Indicate ? They mean that crime Is
rising In the United States like a great
flood. How long can a republic stand an
Increase of crime llko that ? Unless checked ,
Just as sure as destiny , the life of the re
public will be counted by decades and those
decades are few In number. The people
see the man who commits a crime put In
prison and wish to let him stay there and
forget him. Dut under the conditions , you
cannot forget him.
"What Is to bo done ? Save and reform
the prisoner. Remember that all prisoners
are not criminal , that Is , habitual criminals ,
Some are criminals by force of circum
stances , others by force of passions , others
by force ot environment. A largo numbei
of the men can be saved , but not by the
methods employed In this country today ,
In nearly all the prisons the men are
worked hard , frequently under the contrrcl
sjstcm. to get all that Is possible out 01
them. Three-fourths arc not ( taught a
trade. When their terms are complete * '
they are turned out with $5 and with the
shameful brand of the convict upon them
They must BO forth with a He In theii
mouths. No one will employ them. Even
man's hand Is raised against them. The ;
cannot attain a position In society. There
Is nothing for them to do but to comml
crltno again , and thus return to the care o
the state once more What can jou do'
You must educate them , you must teacl
them a trade , you must start them In thi
world. "
General Brlnkerhoff spoke of the prlsoi
systems In vogue throughout the world. Hi
declared that there Is not a Europeai
country which Is not farther advanced Ii
methods of handling prisoners than till
country , England leading the movement. Ii
the United States the reformatory move
ment seems to have Just started. Its bes
example Is the reformatory at Elmlra , N
Y. , which Is In charge , of Superlntenden
Urockvvay. A description ot this Instltutloi
was given by the speaker.
Sjulrm nniiito } oil tit lliiilrn.
In the first place , n man who Is sent to th
reformatory Is not under a definite prlsoi
sentence , but has Imposed upon him ou In
determinate sentence. Tor example , If he I
charged with burglary , he may be compellei
to serve twentj-flve years or he may be re
leased In a year. HU conduct determine
the question. Ho Is brought to the tnstltu
tlon by trained men who do not treat hln
In the ordinary way of sheriffs. When h
reaches the reformatorj ho Is brought Int
the presence of Superintendent Brockway
who reveals to him the conditions of hi
Imprisonment. He Is told that he Is no
brought there to be punished , hut to cxclud
him from society Just so long as he canno
safely be allowed at large He is Informe
I. that the length of his Imprisonment depend
upon himself
There are three grades In the reforma
i tor ) and the prisoner Is put Into the secon
1 ' grade He Is not attired In a striped suit , bu
In worklnmen's clothing He Is given a goo
school education Ho Is taught a trade. H
Is put under military discipline A perfcc
record Is kept of his advancement and con
duct under a sjstcm of marks Every in out
ho Is furnished with the record If ho at
) , tains a certain number of marks he Is pu
In tbo first grade , K a certain number o
> marks are credited against him lie Is place' '
In the third grade.
U Is possible for A man to reach the firs
grade inside of n year and then he Is glvei
) many privileges. Ho Is uniformed In
. cadet dress. Ho can Join congenial com
paclons and cat and talk with them. H
j has the privilege of a reading room and
attending lectures After ho secures a suf
flctent number ot good marks ho Is release
in parole , but no man Is allowed to go un
less tbero Is Bomo ono who , knowing that h
Is a convlc-t , will employ and look nfte
him. The success of the system Is show
by the fact that there are more places wait
Ing for the men who graduate from the In
Btltutlon than there are graduates to (1 ( !
them. Eighty-two per cent of the men wh
leave never return to prison.
The man , however , who will not ova !
himself of his opportunities has a hard tirai
Ho Is put Into the third grade , where h
must wear a red suit , must have his hea
shaved , cannot wrtto letters and must t
alone. Ho Is told that the only way ho ca
gut out of his bard lot Is to work bis wa
back by effort and good behavior to the see
end grade and then to a release through It
first. The whole 8)stem Is Intended to die
tate the thoughts and habits of the vrlsone
and tcconstruct him.
AVIinl We Have Yel < o I.earn.
While the country Is learning of the go <
results of this system and Is establish ! !
other prisons llko It , General Brlnkcrhc
InaUts that the county Jail system U ovi
* furtaer behind humimitarJaa principle
. ?
This statement concluded with the arraign
ment of the county Jill system ot this city ,
but the speaker said ! that the condition Is
but llttlo better all OYOT the country. He
declared that a majority of the Inmates are
not habitual criminals , but are educated to
become such by the rozeato stories ot those
who have engaged In a llfo ot crime. This
is the direct result of crowding together
the men who arc waiting trial , many of
whom are innocent ot the charges against
them. He contrasted this system with that
In vogue In England , wboro every man held
for trial Is In a separate cell and Is not al
lowed communication lylth any of the other
occupants. Each prisoner Is by himself ,
even In the prison van. The consequence Is
that a man goes out of. the detention prison
cleaner In body and mind than when ho
entered.
In concluding his remarks General
Brlnkerhoff declared that the real fountainhead -
head from which reform must begin Is In
the public school system. Ho urged that
the head Is being taught too much , that
some ttmo should be spent In educating the
heart. Ho particularly favors the wider
employment of the kindergarten for chil
dren between 4 and C years of age.

HP AcvnmnllHhcMl on llnrlli.
The pulpit of the First Presbyterian
church was occupied yesterday morning by
Ilcv. Charles n Henderson , D 1) . , of Chicago
cage , who delivered a thoughtful discourse
on the obligation of Christians to make a
greater use of economy In religious work , to
more wisely direct their full religious en
ergy.
In the course of his sermon Dr. Hender
son said-
The hard doctrine of our religious life Is
not the disputed points in theology , but It
ID to do right. Too many Christians make
a mlstako on this point They spend lee
much valuable time In arguing questlonn of
theology and overlook opportunities foi the
work of charity , which comes out ot a full
heart. People who argue these theologUal
points have to hunt for their disputes. Time
arc no disputes about the teachings of Jesus
Christ If there are they are subordinate.
No one quarrels over the beatitudes. The
mind revolts ugattu't ' such quarrels. A man
who Is bad can work out different problems
in geometry and the higher mathematical
problems. Christ taught the leaders not only
what to do with their tltho of one-tenth but
also what they should do with their ot > er
nine-tenths. The great things must be
placed in the front in religion. In art you
will notice that the painter always selects
his ono central figure , and brings It prom
inently to the front , making the other fig
ures bear their proper relation to the central
figure. The sailors ot a war ship are grouped
about the admiral , the soldiers of an army
about their general. So It must be In re
ligion. Wo must bring Jesus Christ and His
spirit to the front , and make the lesser
questions occupy a less conspicuous place.
MiMital AVnxtc TliroiiKlt ConturlcH.
Charity to all men and In all our relations
should receive moro attention than little dis
putes of dogma and creed. The great mental
waste over theological questions has led the
church to commit blunders from which it
can hardly recover. There has been nn Im
mense waste of mental energy through hun
dreds of past years. The fathers of the
church have been guilty of great nvontal
waste over small things. They have written
a great deal that Is so weak that they must
have written it either after their powers had
failed them or else before their minds had
reached maturity. There have been bicker
ings through centuries over theological
questions about which Jesus Christ said not
ono word. There has been honor and oven
bloodshed by both Protestant and Catholic
nations , over trivial questions of religion ,
while the great things were Ignored. The
full of Spain , whoso bonds are a scandal iu
the markets of the world , whose science and
theology are a travesty on what they once
were , can bo ttaccd to the church ot Spalc
that has ilnslsted on emphasizing the minoi
things of religion and Ignoring the great
mountains of Christian truth.
Some may criticise one for speaking ol
thsso matters. I speak of them merely as t
warning , hoping to point out as by a bcacot
light the wrecks of the past that wo are tc
avoid. There Is a practical side to this
First , there Is the Christlanlzatlon of our
selves. Wo are to take hoed unto our
selves The will of the man Is the granc
thing In life , and we are to Individually set
that it is shaped In the right way.
I'leiitj- Work HlKlit Here.
Secondly , there Is the christlanizatlon o
our country , our titate , or cltv. Our schools
our poor houses and our Jails should bi
looked after by Christian people. The Jal
In this city Is a disgrace to a Christian com
munity , and It's no worse than in many othe :
cities. We are prone to think too mucl
about the life hereafter and not try to di
the works of charity right about us. Then
are plenty of saints and choirs In heaven
What we need Is some active Christian worl
right down here on the world we now In
habit. Christians ought to bo different fron
other animals that are of no practical us
until they arc dead and cut up.
In conclusion let mo say that the chrls
tlanlzatlon , first , of ourselves , then of ou
nation , Is a very broad work. In the light o
the conquests of teirltory of the last fev
months by this country the work Is In
creased. It may take us 1,000 years to < l
all that wo BCD laid out for us. God alon
known how long it will take. We hav
been at it 2,000 years now , and the work I
not near complete. But whether It take
1,000 or 2,000 years for us to do the worl
Christ has laid out for us there will b
plenty of tlmo then to lake up the question
of theology , the petty disputations of endless
loss genealogies that do only breed strife.

N. S. Roscnau of Now York , who has fo
many years been connected with the char
Ity organization work In that city , spoke ti
a large audience at Unity church yesterda ;
morning. He said In part.
I do not wish to bo regarded as an Indl
vldual , but as the representative of a move
ment which finds Its central body In wha
Is known as the National Conference o
Charities and Correction. What Is this con
ference' What does It stand for ? Of wha
Is It composed ? It originated twenty-tlv
years ago In the Social Science association
Several state boards of charity met to confer
for ou the methods In vogue In varlou
states , to discuss the treatment of those vvh
had become public charges "Gradually i
t drew1 In representatives of various prlvat
Instltutons So' that now , instead of th
official side predominating , the \otuntar ,
side Is the more Important. The conferom.
has grown In usefulness because of the In
creasing appreciation of the fact that relic
may provo just as harmful as It does cf
tec live.
The easiest way has been shown to be no
the best way. Wo have hearts. Wo want t
yield to their first Impulses. When we se
actual suffering the first Impulse Is to giv
to still that which is within ourselves
The gift may help. U may alleviate , It ma
uplift But In the majority of i-asi s i
starts the man over the wall from self-re
epect to pauperism and crime A man vcr
soon learns to depend on alms He ma
become a socialist , on nuiarchUt , a thief , o
simply a miserable pauper But In any case
ho soon loses the habit of self-dependence
The diffcrenco between 'ho old charily -
the charity of Impulse the chatity to whlc !
wo are all m clceelywedded , and the char
Ity of today which seeks to know th
troubles of the fallen and to put them o
their feet , Is simply In appreciating In It
profundity what real osslatanco to the pee
means Tbero may be some defect In th
man himself , It may be an accident , bu
whether the defect Is from within or with
out , you cannot find It out on the street cor
ner You must go to the home , and bavin
gained the confidence ot the man , search on
what the real trouble Is. Then you are a re :
alms-giver , and may add to the nation on
more aelf-respectlng citizen.
It is the neglect of these precautions tha
