COUNTY Convict Camps Greensboro News: The ever-recurring scandals in county convict camps ar* but con firmation of the seemingly obvious Meredith Herndon of Jackson Springs was referee. The boys and girls ire expecting a double-header with Waco ht re next Friday. fait that there is press carelessness in the selection of the supervisors of these institutions. Unless integ rity of character is so firmly estab lished that it is proof against the irfluence of evil association, con stant contact with the criminal ele ment, even in the capacity of boss, is likely to degrade, to brutalize. In other words, unless the manager of convicts is of the highest char acter and of superior judgment, he will not only deteriorate by the as sociation but his charges are likely to conclude their service in worse condition morally than they were at the beginning. In the first place capable bosses in any capacity are not common. It is rare ability that can effectively direct others and at the same time retain their confi dence and respect, which is neces sary to build up and retain t e morale. It is obviously more diffi cult to manage convicts than free labor. Hardened criminals are of ten stubborn and exasperating and the opportunity to- tyrannize is cal culated to lead to excesses. If the convict supervisor is weak in char acter his charges will soon discover his weakness and they will not re spect him. He will govern only through fear, which naturally leads to brutality, and the tyrant by de gress yields to the brute in himself. Thus there is mistreatment of the convicts not only but other indul gences that follow the gradual de terioration of character that results from the association with criminals, unless the manager is of that high type that can’t be marred by the con tact, whose outstanding virtues com It will be answered or course mat this high type can’t be secured to manage convicts; that neither the character of the work nor the salary will command that service. It is ad mitted that neither of these will ap peal to men really fit for the job, But it is insisted that better men can he secured than are often placed on this v.orlt, J'if' effort is made to determine rnard unconscious respect even from degraded characters, fitness, little if any thought is giv en the qualifications necessary. Ap plicants are accepted without any ef fort to gain a real insight into the .type of men employed. Often the jobs are parceled out as rewards for polit ical service, and those who g<-t them have no other understanding than they ere to keep the prisoners at work hard at it—and shoot them if they attempt to run away. There is lit tle patience here with the coddling of criminals, or with the theories of professional uplifters. But there is a golden mean that can he reach ed if some intelligence is used in selecting thf men for the work, and the pay should be made enough to secure the right sort. 1 ;' i Bethlehem News Of People On The Move (Special to The Star.)
