When a guard at a convict camp shoots and fatally wounds or kills .jin escaping prisoner, a lot of condemnation is heaped upon the head of the guard, but what arc you going to do about it f When tliis question is put to the average citizen he says the guards should use good judgment and exercise tact in controlling the men: that he is supposed to use iiis gun only when alwolutely necessary. That's the trouble. So few have the judgment to know when it is absolutely neccs sHry t » use a gun. The trouble is the guard is a "misHt." He is not suited to the job, and there is only one of two ways to remedy the evil. One is to have the guards throw away their guns and, take chnnces on the convicts escaping, and the other and better way is to pick men suited to the job.and pay them wages enough to make it wmth while t give the proposition constant and careful consideration.
