State Prison. OF course in making any
change from present arrangements In
that respect the present very efficient

and the question naturally arises.
would such change prove Of ben

the Statei As far rs our own judg-
ment goes We believe 1t would not.
General Batterman is. to say the least.
fully as efficient and well qualified for
the position as either OF the competing
parties are; therefore there could not
be any advantage in the change. but
very possibly q great disadvantage. II
is always good policy to "iet we'll
enough alone" There has been too
much insficiency. to use a mild term,
shown in past managemsnts. Under
Batterman's administration the prison
labor has been better utilized and made
q source Of revenue TO the State than
ever ore;t the prison discipline has been
strictly enforced and everything reduced
to . perfect system. Additions have
been made to tho prison buildings and
improvements made in the various work
