Greensboro News:
The ever-recurring scandals in

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

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.
