NEED OF G1TY WORK HOUSE Demand for Such a Place Pointed Out by Police Judee Crawford. PRESENT FACILITIES WHOLLY INADEQUATE Cad nl Jastlee, Hf Thinks, Caaaot lie I'roperl? hfr I'nttl Wark. la Ballt. 1 I nr. V Police Judge Crawford has some decided opinions regarding the pressing needs of a workhouse In this rlty. He Is firm in his conviction that the establishment of such an Institution Is on of the paramount local issues. The Judge has been making an In vestlgatlon of the operation of workhouses and similar Institutions in other cities. iThe tpparrnt pleasure with which many vag rants and hoboes have been receiving thirty-day sentences recently In the police court set the Judge thinking and the more he has thought It over' the more he has become convinced there never was a time In the city's history when the needs for a workhouse were greater than at the pros ent time. Judge Crawford Saturday morn ing said: "The interest being -taken In a work-, he'ise for petty criminal Is most gratify ing' to me and must be to nil who have at heart the safety and good order of our city. The time Is exceedingly propitious for. this discussion, Not only will public sentiment approve any wise plan for fur nishing work for city convicts, but that same sentiment will, I believe, approve a liberal bond Issue for the erection of a modern and adequate house of" correction, reformatory or workhouse. City Jail Inadequate. "That our present city Jail Is absolutely Inadequate for any purpose except a place Of detention pending trial Is admitted upon all hands. No work of reformation or cor rection Is possible there. Quite the re verse, the present city Jail Is a place of contamination. To confine a youth there who retains any rpark of virtue Is an of fense against him and against the commu nity of which he is to be a part when re leased. I say this In no spirit of criticism of our polio department. It is the result of using for a city Jail a building Intended fqr an entirely different purpose and In no respect fitted for its present use. The fact Is recognised and regretted more keenly by police authorities than In any other quarter. "The taw Imposes punishment upon a convict for two purposes only, the reforma tion of the prisoner and the protection of society from him until he Is reformed. Punishment that does not tend towards the accomplishment of both la Inadequate, expensive, futile and wasteful. First e Toward Bolatloa. The first step and a long on toward the solution of Omaha's difficulties with the criminal classes la an adequate build ing and grounds properly equipped to maintain prisoners under condition which will tend to make useful cltliens of them; Disease, filth, drink and drugs, Idleness and bad company are the potent factors In the making of a criminal. Given a place where disease can be combatted and filth removed; wher drink and drugs are out of reach, and wher Idleness gives place to sys tematic labor, and you have a place wher the community Is protected from the criminal and more Important still you have given the prisoner a chance to re form. "How much the first cost of such a build ing will be I do not know. But I do know that Omaha Is In the midst of the most substantial and lasting progress, that the year upon which we leave Just entered will mark the greatest stride towards the building of a metropolis that this com munity has ever known. I know before tho maturity1 of bonds Issued this year for a workhouse that the Institution will be outgrow and Inadequate to the needs of the city, whether . we expend 126.000 or 60,000." Ml WIT IX. 239339 OMAHA AGAIN SECOND IN CORN Raeavr pa Old Position: ma Next BlfSMt Primary Market la World. to J Omaha has regained 1U old place as the second primary corn market of the world.
