12 THE BEEt OMAHA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1P1?. '1 Garbage Disposal Problem and Municipal Workhouse BY CAPTAIN II. II. Balvntl on Armr Industrial Home. "Whllo tho subltct ot a municipal work housa and ot sarbaB disposal aw under public consideration and official discus ton. It seems a proper time to call at tention to certain phases of the que lion htch most men are prone to ovu look. Th present method ot handllr hnrt.term Brieoners by ImposlnR perlou Of Idleness 6n .them, while confined In Jail Is In direct opposition to the law ot Ood and the laws of nature. For Idleness, Trbether In man or In plants, caus decay. A vast amount of human energy Is belnK wasted In our city and county Jails, as at present administered. This If a, subject that should rightfully bo clost to the heart of all catena and tax payer for It Involves a feature of economic policy that Is yearly costing taxpayers tens Of thousands of dollars. The subject should be approached In a spirit of broad minded liberality and with a firm determination to decide the rrint tor In a way to fully meet the demands ot the future. For whatever we do to. day must be with a thorough roatiza lion that the adaquacy and final success of tlia project will be determined by tht test which future years will Impose. We must think not only ot today's require ments. but we must think of and build for the future. Tho Brcat fault of the ptnal system to day Is the lack of any character build. Ins Influence exerted on men doing short time sentences In our penal Institutions iiutrv has more of an Influence In keenlnir men from yielding to teniptA' tlon and falling Into criminal tendencies thari any Other one thing. The tendency of the first tenner is downward, owing to the habits ot Idleness fofmed whlU dolnrf time In Jail. Tho Inadvertent wrong doer Is the one who suffers most, ho- clety demands that the wrong doer be Biinlshed and so a man. who orainamy la well behaved and who gets drunk. for Instance, and becomes disorderly, la ent to jail In punishment What Is the result? The man is thrown Into contact with the moat vicious criminals and In spite of himself Is Influenced for the worst and his character unconsciously aeterior. aUs. Unrelentingly Bis new envlonv nient operates for his degradation and he finally goes forth a hanged man, af. Dieted with the added burden of a habit ot idleness acquired while in prises- Thenceforth with the passing years ho wost frequently becomes an. eyer In creasing burden on society and a tax on the community In which he Jives, There Is Just one way, and only on, that this tendency for evil can be corn batted and overcome. This Is to put the short term prisoner to work on the soil, give him an Indeterminate sen tence and by keeping hts hands and mind occupied get him Into tho habit of work. The work haMt thus foraeo will bo keet up afterward and "Kill tend to make him a law abldlntr cltlsen and a useful mem ber of th community, 'whereas 14lni can 6nly have tne oweslw ana dM trout effect. Par after all m prtsitm .s a eomparatrfe sws , wW ft vi in mid tt fact t Wat man ta s umUm af ImM. sni that smlsHs, h4tar, cotst .sr s4, f ;sr nh4 are beo with twmeuity, the btwttttwgt AaMt t wot I in a man it wt, In H tfceMMXrt, T- matrt as a pi raw a sat asset ot his eh' ACter. put a wan I an in sUtAir, ventilat4 Ja an feeen. nm sultan an rss'satfwt. That's kumati tore; Tine ' man out ot doors on a farm Where Ma kanes and mnd are tax on the community.' It Is merely one way of utilizing' waste tabor arid ot arousing In unfortunate - men the com nendable .Instincts of thrift 'and Indus, ry. After the buildings are flhtshed the arm work would afford constant and lelptul employment to the Inmates, being in effect a practical - school for drilling men along agricultural lines. An ' In structor from one ot our agricultural col leges should bo. placed in charge of 'this department, whose duty would be the' In struction of these men In the cent meth ods of farm work. The produce raised could be utilized in feeding the Inmates, while such surplus as might Accrue coutd be sold and the proceeds used In main taining the Institution on a self-supporting basis and thus afford additional re lief to the taxpayers. Manifestly sUch an Institution should not be made the prey of politicians, but should be placed beyond nil chance's of' political manipulation. Especially should, the general superintendent In charge be free of all entangling pomtcat alliances. He should be. a man maker, not, a man breaker. There- Is a big difference n breaking a man's spirit and turning htm out on the word a ' spineless creature without hope or ambition and In sending him forth with, an optimistic spirit and with the courage and the will to ac complish better things. That portion ot the farm devoted to the handling, ot city garbage could also be operated by the prisoners, who would do oil the work with the exception, of that requiring Specialised expert knowl edge, which of course would be directed by a man or-meh employed for the pur pose. This department could be made a source of profit by the sale ot by products. The city of Cleveland makes a net profit of about $8,000 a year from its garbage plant. Furthermore, tho separation and sorting ot waste matter sent to the plant,' such as paper, oh) rags, broken bottles and glass should yield A profit. ', ' I believe, also, that the present method pf handling wife beaters, wife deserters And all Inen doing time .for: nonsupport Is wrong. What good is accomplished by shutting a wife beater, up In Jail, arid by. thus outtlnir off the source ot family In- come causo the Innocent wire and chil dren to suffer and maybe become destl tute? What benefit does society derive by visiting tli a scourge of hunger and want on the family Just because tho. hus band beat the- wife or otherwise mis treated hts family? Put tho man to Work on the municipal fam and give part of his earnings to his family, and by this means -prevent them from becoriv inc. a hopeless charge on titer community, The result of suoh an Institution and system could not tall to be a benefit t the community In every way. X man who leaves the farm as a first-class worker In the soil with a good recom mendation from the Brlnteiit would have no tre-aWe to secure employment! for the farmers IhretagKout all this west ern ceuntry ,re conetwntly appearing for stolita Net frftd 'Ara wHUag to W aWj We new wis can' oWet4 tW UsJ of wfc. ' ' r r " ' PETERSOK TOM TO HOWELL Chief Clerk for HcGovem May Work for Water Board. SAYS THEY HEED A GOOD MAN reteraon la Snl'd to Have) Criticised, the ' Commlsslonrrs- Will tto ' If Unwell Offers ltlm ' -More Money. Chief Clerk Ed 1'eterson of the city engineering department may go over to the Water board owing to differences ot opinion with City commissioners.. It Is rumored that R. Oeecher Howell, general manager of the Metropolitan Water dis trict, has offered Peterson a berth. "If Mr. Howell comes through with the right kind of a proposition I'll accept," said Peterson. "They need a competent man down there, The engineering otflco wouldn't run very smooth If I left, but they'd manage somehow to get along without me. "Fact -Is," Peterson added as an after thought,, "Pve been of moref assistance to the legal, department than to the en gineering department. I don't know what' they would have done without me. City Attorney Rine and Assistant City At torney Lambert are good lawyers, but there aro a lot ot things they don't know," Peterson, it Is said, has criticised the commissioners "frequently and his con nection with certain persons outside tho city hall has led the commissioners to question' tne- necessity 01 continuing his services. Peterson once said: ' "This department cotildn't get along wfthout me. You'd see If I- left what 'would happen. There's no danger of ray losing- my Job," city uommissioner Thomas Mcaovern jot the department of public Improv- hunts, Peterson's employer, said he had. never had a mlsundlorstandtng ot any trouble with tho chief clerk. "He's ma!tlnr more money now than he. ever did under any Other adm!nlsj&J. iion, nicvjuTorn enm. ui course, ir Howell offers him mors money he will probably JeAVe, That's up to Howell and Peterson."
