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

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.

he finally goes forth a hanged man, af.
Dieted with the added burden of a

Thenceforth with the passing years
ho wost frequently becomes an. eyer In

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

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!

Chief Clerk for HcGovem May Work

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.

Howell offers him mors money he will
probably JeAVe, That's up to Howell and
Peterson."
