Did you ever " hear ot convicts

ven without stripes and number?
yea vict s working in the hopfields
and on the roads WITH A CONVICT
FOREMAN AND A MILE FROM
THE PRISON WAULS. Convicts at
work making roads and sleeping
UNGUARDED in tents at night.
It doesn't seem believable, yet I
saw it myself.
I'll admit I felt like the farmer at
the circus who stared at the hippo
potamus for a long time and then
turned away saying, "Oh, h 1!
There ain't no such an animal."
I have nosed through prisons before
and pasted by rows of sullen faces and
striped back!, but never under the escort
of the governor of the state. Not being
possessed of a (Treat deal of morbid curl
osliy, I usually sidestep Invitations to call
at jails and asylums, so I really was not
enthusiastic Ian fall after I had finished
tny business with the chief executive ot
the state of Oregon, when Governor West
picked op his hat as I started to leave,
remarking, "Now that we have finished
our business, you've got to come out and
take a look at my slate prison."
We walked out across the capitol
grounds and took a street car. A few
people said, "Good afternoon, governor."
but most of them said, "Hello, Oe." The
governor of Orepon doesn't care a snap
about dignity, lio Is no long-tall-coat,
silk-hat governor. Oswald West wears a
blue sack suit and a derby hat; and his
socks are not (ilk. I thought a man who
waa big enough to go out and hunt an
escaped convict and bring htm in at the
end of a gun would be a great big fellow,
but ho Isn't. Ho Isn't very tall, nor very
heavy, but he has a determined look on
ilS face. I rather Imagine the convict
didn't hesitate much when he saw the
face looking across the barrel of a gun.
The summer before last three convicts
broke away from the road-making gang
and fled Into the brush. A powc was
organised. Indignant at the storm of
criticism of his new system, the governor
strapped a gun on and went out Into the
brush himself. About nightfall he saw
the smoke of a camp and creeping up he
covered Ids man and led him back to the
penitentiary at the end of his gun.
He talked "prison" as we rode along
In the street car and took a short cut
through a field to the penitentiary.
"I had my own notions about peniten
tiaries before I got to be governor," he.
said. "We had 6(0 husky convicts out'
here and they Used to take tliem out
and run them around the prison yard
to uxercise them, have them throw sand
bags, and then take them back to their
cells. 80 me people would fuss errry time
they started them at any kind of work,
because they 'toe work away from hon
est labor,' and to keep tliem alive they
had to take the prisoners out and exer
cise them Did jyou ever hear of such
rot? Every time the legislature met,
there was no money to do the thousand
things that needed to be done and here
were nearly eto able-bodied men without
work.
"The governor, hero In Oregon, can do
a lot of things he wants to, and It
the people don't like It, they can call him
In. Wo have the 'recall' here in Oregon,
you know. I camo out here one morning
and called the prisoners and guards sll
together snd talked a little common
sense to them. 'J asked them which they
would rather do, go outside In the fields
and roails and' work, or loaf and be,
boxed up In cells all day; whether they
wouldn't rather raise some vegetables and
chickens and' have better things to eat;
whether tiny didn't want to learn how
to do something useful, so they would
have a trade and earn a decent living
when they got out. Being shut up In
a cell all day didn't sound a bit good
to them, t used to break horses. What I
put up to them Was the same old scheme.
a measure full of oats In one hand and
a club in the other. Of course, thev
took the oats. A horse will and so will
a man. But the club Is there and they
get It good and plenty, if they don't be
have. THERE'S NO FLABBY SENTI
MENTALITY ABOUT IT. It's Just COM
MON SENSE AND ITS DOLLARS AND
CENTS TOO. I'll show you.
"Do you see this field from the end of
the car line to the big wall? We bought
and paid for that out of money that these
fellows earned. Our attorney general
said, that nowhere did the law ssy. that
we could spend our money this wsy snd
I told him that neither did the law say
we couldn't. It didn't say we could earn
It either. We bought the field.
"We expect, to Irrigate that field be
tween here and the asylum grounds.
We will put It in blue grass and have
a fine herd of Jerseys and Holstelns. I
recently told the city we would make this
a rark If they wopld pave the street from
the caplto! all the wsy out here. Ot
course, they agreed, because they didn't
know we would do It anyway. But we
will make this a park all the way down
to the city limits with fine roads winding
through. I'm going to have them make
a lake out ot this slough over here. Did
you ever see anything prettier than that
.-reek with that clump of trees? The
kiddles from rfalem can come out here
next summer and have picnics and dangle
their feet in the creek. Isn't that worth
while even If there is no law for It?
"There is to be a concrete hog bouse
that will be a model for any farmer to
follow. Farming, you know, is nothing
but common sense and hard work. We
have the men to do the work and we
can get out agricultural experiment sta
tion people tp make this one of Uwir
lemonstratlon farms.
"There are a lot of these boys here In
this prison who are lust as arrack Inter
ested in these perns and carrying them
out as I am. It is easy to get them in

are doing and why they are doing it, but
iba main thing ts to let then feel that

lenelts of. what tbey accomplish.

money they esrned.
This frame building being built here
Is going to be a model chicken house."
And the governor proceeded to show me
Its fine points snd tell me how he planned
to stock It with well-bred birds. "This
will furnish all the eggs we need and
make a profit besides."
I P on the roof were four men shingling
It snd some others were working below.
They were all outaida tits prison walls
snd no guard anywhere about. They wore
no stripes to distinguish them from the
ordinary carpenter. When I expressed
my astonishment, the governor exclaimed.
"Walt till I show yftu the bunch out In
(he hopflehU None of these men will
Lrun away. They know they couldn't get
very far. If they did try, and It would
go hard with them when they are caught.
We have ISO men outside and the warden
knows whom he can trust. The rest of
them inside are encouraged to do their
best as well. You know we did lose some.
but only three, and we got one ot them.
Four years ago, when we had them under
guard on road work, thirteen escaped."
"What about that capture you made?"
I ventured. "Oh, that was a lucky
chance," was the modest reply. "It made
me mad, when a lot of people, who
never have given this work a moment's
study, howled because of the runaway
and I went out after them myself. I hap
pened to find the smoke of one man's
campflre aad brought him in. The; posse
would hsve gotten him. and I rather
regret the dime novel notoriety It gave
me. It disgusted me to have a lot of
bonebeads whine that we were running
our prison wrong. Just because three
got away. The year before we started the
new plan thirteen escaped, In ail, and
no one said anything about It. Frequently
there art men breaking away from
prisons, in every state, and the public
never hears of It. The question ISN'T SO
Jll'CH ABOUT TUB ONE OR TWO
MBN WHO GET A WAT. There are
LOTS Ob WORSE MEN FREE. THE
GIIAVE QUESTION DEALS WITH
THE HUNDREDS OF MEN WHO ARE
IN PRISON. Suppose we do lose a few.
See what we do for these men and for
the stste. They learn how to work; thoy
become self-reliant and they make It
possible to treat convicts like human
beings."
I have heard that some big department
stores' and factories try to establish sn
atmosphere of cheerfulness In their estab
lishments, but I never had seen It before
in a penitentiary. The convicts brightened
up ss they saw the governor coming;; as
a matter of fact, a lot of them simply
beamed. He knew most of them by name
and it was "Hello Jim," "Are you getting
on to making shirts, JoeT" and "How do
you do, boys," all along the line. There
was no "present arms" and "hats-off"
performance on the part of the prisoners.
Moat ot them, but not all, touched their
hats or took them off. Those who did.
took them off as though they wanted to,
not as If they hsd to.
The prisoners Inside the walls are the
ones who need watching and the usual
patrol with a gun on the wall waa ever
present All the prison dally work Is done
by convicts. Including the making of
clothes, caps and shoes.
"Here Is where we beat the dark cell
and bresd-and-water plan," said the
governor, as he led mo into the com
modious theater. "We have a show here
twice a week; moving pictures, stunts by
prisoners and some times by outside
talent. Then we always give them Sat
urday afternoon eft for a base ball game.
There Isn't anything that will make them
beg quicker than to take away their
privileges.' They are sll great 'fans'
snd when a man has to sit in his cell
and hear the boys in the bleachers yell
when somebody makes a three-bagger. It
brings them to time in a hum'."
We drove out about a mile to a tick
where sixty-one prisoners were picking
hops. Agsin wsy out there, there were
no guards; no ball and chain; no striped
suits.
"I want yon to see these boys work.
Most of them have never picked hops
before, but they keep at it and do their
level best The work Is paid for by the
farmer at the regular rates and the men
get one-third and two-thirds goes Into

we do.
"Tne same Is true of the brick we sell.

that the peace ot the community is in no

As we passed out of the prison gatt
crossing the road tosrard the warden's
house, the governor was approached by
a man carry ing a kit of plumbrr'a tools,
who stopped him. saylnj;. "I have finished
that Job. governor. 1 put in three days
more than p-rhups was necessary 00 It.
tut ss you said this was going to he my
last Job I wanted to do it right. Do you
think I can get away ly Monday?"
"You can go tomorrow." answered Gov
ernor West, "if you will come down t
my office and get your papers."
"Do you think you could get me a Job
In one of the shops downtown, governor?"
"Yes, I csn, but 1 won't." csune the
brusk reply. The man looked a little
crestfallen, until the governor added,
"You don't want to stay around here.
The first time something happens, they'll
put out a dragnet and soma of these
cheap detectives will round you up. You
better start In new somewhere else. By
the way. If you go down to California
you will find you II not be treated as
well as this It you get Into the same kind
of trouble, so you had better behave."
That's all right, governor," said the
convict; "you don't need to worry about
me. I have been treated square here.
but I don't want no more of It. I can
hold down a good Job and I am willing to
work if they will leave me alone."
He thanked Governor West and then
wslked past the guard and Into the prison
gate.
What do :ou think of that?" asked
Governor West. "I promised that mart
to pardon him as soon ss he had finished
the Job on which he was working and he
has put In three days more than he had
to. In order to make it a good Job. I feel
that when we ran get response like that
we are reaching those fellows In the
right way."
The warden, Mr. Martin, came up Just
then, and a curly-headed little girl, who
had been watching our approach from the
porch, leaned up against the big man as
we were Introduced. "What do you think
of all this, Mr. Martin?" I asked. "I un
derstand you have been here through
some of the troublesome times." .
We are certainly on the right track,'
he replied. "I wasn't very keen about It
at first, but I admit now that the gov
ernor is right. You can bet that I
wouldn't say this unless I believed It,
with these babies ot mine Just across
from the prison gate." ,
Ten years sgo the Oregon State peni
tentiary at Salem had probably the worst
reputation of any prison In the country.
Everyone will remember the outbreak
when Frank Tracy, the Oregon out-law,
skipped leaving a bloody trail behind
him. Oregon today has within Its prison
walls, no doubt. Just ss desperate
criminals as there are In any prison In
the country, and as Governor West ex
pressed It, "It Is no molly-coddle Insti
tution." There Is no reason why the
same progress in prison management
cannot be made In Nebraska which haa
been made In Oregon.

sell all other tires. Our multiplied output has cut
the cost of production.
Now they cost no more than tires that rim-cut,
tires not oversize.
Save 48 Per Cent
With old-type tires, ttatittict
how that 23 per cent of all
ruined tires are rim-cat
No-Rim-Cut tlm save that 21
per cent, plus a large amount of

These tiret are also 10 per

the tire mileage.
Thus these two savings, under

The presence or the absence of the
qualities described herein qualities trace
able to properly applied standardlxatien
and the resulting correct alignment; qual
ities tracedbls to skillful design and ad
vanced manufacturing methods sad the
results ef scientific research aad develop
ment, explain:
Why the owner ot one car has to crank
sad crank his engine to get It started
while the Csdlllac owner gets Into his
car. presses a button, dlaengagee the
clutch and his engine starts.
Why the owner of one car, even with
a so-called "selt-stsrler," cso start the
engine only some of the time while the
Cadillac electrla cranking device Is fully
as strident and fully as dependable aa
every other part of the Cadillac oar.
Why the owner of one car meat get
out often In the rain snd mud open his
lamps, tumble tor nistrhee, turn on and
regulate the gaa and light up while the
Cadillac owner without delay or aaaoy
ance simply closes the swlicues aad the
electric lamps are lighted.
Why one car otsns with s Jerk and
a lunge while the Caeiilao csn be started
oft with the smoothness ot aa ocean
liner.
Why la one ear about all the driver's
strength is required to operate the clutch
and brakes while with the Cadillac slight
toot pressure Is ail that Is necessary.
Why In one csr the change ef gears is
scconipanicd by a crash and a grind while
with the Cadillac the change can be made
so that It Is scarcely perceptible.
Why one car Is difficult to keep la the
road while the Csdlllac seems almost to,
steer Itself.
Why In one csr with a steering gear
which has no prsvlsloa tor tak.nx up wear .
lost motion develops making steering un
certain and unsafe while In the Csdlllao
steering gear the adjustments provided
are mors adequate than will probably
ever be required.
Why one car rides hard and stiff, ths
springs seem unyielding and the car Is
leas comfortable to ride tn over a paved
street tlisa Is the Csdlllao over an ordi
nary road.
Whr one car may run quietly and
smoothly when aew. but eooa becomes
noisy and shakee and rattles while the
Csdlllac ertea after years of service runs
aa smoothly as when new.
Why one car runs all right en level
roods, but when It cornea to sand and
hills It haa not the power te make the
pulls while the Cadillac has an abundance
of power tor all reasonable requirements
snd with Its standardisation, the correct
alignment and the substantial const ruc
tion, the maximum ot that power la de- '
Uvered st ths rear wheels.
Why one oar shows only I or M miles
on a gallon of gasoline while the Cedlilao .
avsrages a) to so per cent greater mile-
hy one ear after a few month he-
fine to evKlenoe a loss ot posrer while
adillact frequently show an Improve- '
ment.
Why In one car the eaglne overheats
and the water bolls while with Csdlllao
construction snd the Cadillac cooling sys
tem the eeuses ot over healing are praott- '
cally eliminated.
Why one car emit volumes of smoke
snd It becomes necessary to eleea the
engine and especially ths spark plugs
every few weeks, while the Cadillac with
Ita efficient lubricating eystsra aad the
accurate fit of the cylinders, pistons and
rings emits no smoke at all aad frequent
ly rune far a rear or mere without even
having a spark plug removed.
Why the oil consumption of one ear Is
from Iwe te four times that ot the
Cadillac
Why ths owner of one car must be
continually tinkering with hie ear to keep)
It going while many CadlUao owners
rsrely open their tool kits.
Why one car after a tew months' ass
deprectstee In selling value to half of
Ita original cost or less while
Uon In ths Csdlllao la reduced
absolute minimum.
So many "Whys" Indsed, which evi
