WANTS ALASKA
SET ASIDE AS
PENAL COLONY
Gov. Moore Would Send New
Jersey Criminals to Al
aska Instead of Jail.
The otting aside of Alaska as
la pells I roloiiy lor New Jersey is.
apparently, the latest solution of the
Alaskan problem. Evidently the pro
posal originated in a suggestion by
fan. Arthur II. Moore, of that Slut< .
that New Jersey criminals be sen;

“Do you agree with Governor

and put to some constructive work V"

place: "Yes. Slippolling crlmitia';, in
a life of ease and eonifoil i: a p.!
way of putting tile lear of the la .
in their liearls. If liny were scum
to Alaska and pat to some hard j
kilier !i:r the benefil of the country |
prison life would not look so a
tractile to them. At present hr ;. ,
are doing nothing of a eonstriictiv, j
nature, and the people of the Stall i
are forced to expend many thousand-; j
of dollars to keep them in comfori
and idleness. Penal servitude should I
he all that its name implies.''
LKW'iS IIROWN. in Mapos avi‘
lino- "Yes. the governor’s idea is a I
good one and should lie serious con
s-idered by the nuthoril ies. Why
should the taxpayers ol the State
lie forced- to keep criminals in id
lettess when they could be made to
pay a return on the investment. Ala.--1

MISS CKliTliriJK ZKTTKI13T 1
liOM. IM Ampere parkway, Iilooni- !
field: "I certainly do. There are too j
many criminals in New Jersey to sal: |
me. and if they sent them clear to
the North Pole I wouldn't tie angry !
Seriously, though, they should be pm !
to some constructive work instead
of being allowed a pleasant life of!
