Sr'"H£N BRUNDIDGE WOULD IN
STALL honor system among
WHITE PRISONERS.
IS SUCCESS !N COLORADO
Candidate for Governor Outlines His
Views on How the State's Convicts
Should Be Managed.
An honor system for the convicts in
the Arkansas penitentiary!
Citizens of Arkansas have read with
interest of the successful use the
honor system has been put to in West
ern states, hut no one ever dared pub
licly to declare such a thing feasible
In Arkansas until Col Stephen Brun
didge advocated the use of the system
in a speech mane recently.
fn dealing with the convict question.
Cot. Brundidge s >oke of penitentiary
affairs, past and present, and outlined
his ideas of how convicts should be
treated, as follows:
“A great bone of contention in Ark
ansas politics lias been the proper
management of the penitentiary. 1
condemn the lease system, but 'hat is j
in the past for the legislature abolish
ed it forever. I am glad of it, for j
It was a good step, but the legislature
did not stop there. Tt appropriated!
$425,000 for the payment of the ex
penses of the peni’ ntiary. The posi
tion of superintendent of the peniten
tiary was abolished. Three commis
sioners to tn'-e his place were author
ized and the governor empowered to
name them. 1 don’t believe the govern
or should have a great deal of ap
pointive power. I like the old fash
1UUCU Wily Ul fin;! UJ U»llV,r
better than any other. The governor
did appoint. The legislature fixed the
salary of the commissioners at $3,000
each per year. We have been paying
$2,400 a year to the superintendent
of the penitentiary. This item of ex
pense was raised from $2,400 to $9,000
a year at one throw. Your secretary
of state draws annually $2,250: your
attorney general draws $2,500; your
commissioner of mines, manufactures
and agriculture draws $1,800 annually,
and there are today but few of your
state officials who are drawing the
salaries of your penitentiary commis
sioners. It may be all right, but, fel
low citizens, I doubt it.
“Two years ago the legislature ap
propriated to pay the expenses of the
penitentiary, $364,000. This year $425,
000 was appropriated, and you must
remember it was done just after 300
convicts had been pardoned, and turn
ed loose, so we have in the penitenti
ary just one third less than we did
two years ago. It took last year $364,
000 to care for 900 convicts, and by
the new order of things it requires
$425,000 to defray the expenses of 600
convicts. The penitentiary needs
regulating and I agree with you about
that, but I believe one man can do it
as well as three if you get the proper
man.
“I am decidedly in favor of making
radical ehanges in the manner of
handling convicts. The governor of
Colorado recently picked from the
penitentiary of the state, men whom
he believed could be trusted, in whose
bosoms the penitentiary officials had
reason to believe there yet remained
the feeling of honesty and honor, if
the convidis were only given a chance
to demonstrate it.
“The murderers were not taken nor
the real long term men, but a roll of
honor was prepared, containing the
names of many convicts who were
thought trustworthy, and to them the
governor said:
“Go out to the camp we will con
struct for you, and there work to build
good roads. There will be no guards
and you are upon your honor to remain
in, the service of the state.
“In the state of Colorado in the past
twelve months these men have built
gcod roads that would ordinarily cost
265,000, and they have never had a
guard over them. Less than two per
cent of the convicts turned loose made
any attempt to escape. The convicts
felt they were working for the good
interests of the state, they felt they
were building something they and
their children would get the benefit
of when they were restored to citizen
ship and liberty.
“All convicts in Arkansas could not
be worked like that. I don’t believe
you could trust the negro convicts,
but you could take the 200 white con
victs in the Arkansas prison, and se
lect from them 100 or 125 for the pur
pose of trying this plan. Let these
men build good roads and the negroes
remain on the farm to pay the ex
penses of those who are working on
the roads. I believe the penitentiary
can be made self-sustaining, and at the
same time have 150 to 200 convicts at
work on the roads of the state, under
the roll of honor system.”
Our choice for governor in the com
ing election has not changed in the
least. Mr. Bruididge is an able man, he
is true to Arkansas, and if he is chos
en for that office he promises not;
only to fill out his term, but, that he ;
will not use the office to elect either
himself or any one else to any office.
Brundidge is all right.—Hope Gazette.
Brundidge is good enough for us.

HALL OF HOUSE SMALL
THERE >S LESS SP»CE AMO /
LARGER MEMBERSHIP
■iom* Hard Problem's for the Commu
sion to Solve in Its Reconstruction,
as th» Present Room Mas Won
derful Acoustic Properties.
The commission oi reconstructloi
of he hall of the house of represents
lives lias beet
holding meet
ings recently
but has no
yet decidei
how the lu
creased membership of the Iowa
branch of congress will be cared fo
after March 4. 191?.
There are several propositions be
for the commission, the most elah
orate of which provides for rebuild
Itig of the entire hall For this pur
pose congress made an approprlatiot
of $350,000 at the time the comm Is
siou was created. The plan for re
constructing the hall calls for ;
smaller floor space anil larger cloak
rooms. There Is good deal of op
position to this scheme, which is fel
by many to be inconsistent with t.hi
steady growth of the house in mem
bership.
The commission consists of Speak
er Clark, Representative Joseph 0
Cannon, Samuel W McCall, James R
Mann, John J. F'tzgerald, Swage
Sherley and former Representativi
William M. Howard.
The present hall of the bouse cov
ers an area of about it.400 square feet
while the reduced hall would cove
only about 3,000, nothwithstandlm
the fact that seats have to be provld
ed for 42 additions members.
The present membership of th<
house Is 391, and in the next congresi
it win De ijt>, lneiumng tne new mem
hers from New Mexico and Arlsona
These men were provided with seat!
on the floor when they were territori
al delegates, but did not have a rote
In order to seat a larger house li
a smaller hall, the plan presented tt
Una commission provides for a ss
ies of benches, Instead of aeparati
.’’.’.airs All desks are to be removed
One of the arguments In favor of i
smaller hall has been that it woul<
facilitate debate and that member
could be heard more easily In al
parts of the chamber
But when the commission came ti
consider the acoustics of the presen
'ouse it found that they were ama?
lugly good. There Is not the slightes
difficulty In a member being heart
from alt parts of the chamber, lncluri
fng the galleries, If he speaks In ,
reasonably loud tone of voice and 1
the speaker preserves order. Th
members of the commission them
selves were unable to recall any pel
sonal difficulty they had In trying t
reach the ears of their fellow reprt
sentatives.
So excellent are the acoustics of th
house chamber that for a long tlm
It was supposed they were more of a:
accident than anything else. Th
south wing of the capltol was begu
In 1851 and the house has been ocet
pytng Its present chamber since Jai
uary 4, 185». This wing was co«
structed under the direction of Thom
as U. Walter, then the architect o
the capltol.
Some time ago Prof. Sabin mad
an elaborate lnv itlgatlon of th'
acoustics of the hall of the house. H
used delicate instruments and cos
ducted a part of his experlmaats li
the middle of the night, when h
could he assured of absolute cessaMei
of other noises. He declared te 9u
pertatendent Elliott, Woods that th<
acoustics of the houses were super!
or to those of any similar hall In th'
world, so far as his knowledge wenl
He also was of the opinion that thl
must hare been largely accidental, b«
cause the science of acoustics was no
much developed at the middle of th'
last century.
ar. B A/in m a otiplnno a a f<
this and hunted up some old note
books of Mr. Walter. In them b<
found that the architect of the hall o
the house had devoted a great dea
of thought and study to its acousth
properties and had considered varloui
methods of preventing annoylni
echoes and of so arranging the cell
lng and other features of the chatnbei
that a human voice would carry Inti
all parts of it.
The present chamber is exactly ai
it was originally built, save for fre
(juent redecoration and refurnishing.
To Georgetown’s Founder.
Men prominent in church and stati
gathered at George Washington uni
verslty the other day to do honor ti
the memory of John Carroll, D. D.
who established the college in 1789
Among those taking part were Presi
dent Taft, Speaker Clark. Chief Jus
tice White of the United States Su
preme Court, Cardinal Gibbons ant
the ambassador from Austrla-Hun
gory.
The chief event of the day was thi
unveiling of the statue of Dr. Carroll

speech.
