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. Spray News
