IF the Modern Light means blatant,
ofice-seeking, pap-sucking, tax-eating,
wind-blowing, pot-hOuse politicians,
full of airy schemes and idle specula'
tions, we deny the charge. 1t is a
well known fact that Baxter Springs

didate for any Office for years, while
Columbus has always on hand candi-
Gates enough to fill every Office in the
state. Bnt we are free to confess that
all our people take an interest in the
political affairs of our country, and
the man who does not take some in
terest in politics and cares nothing for
the noble franchise granted him by
our constitution is not worthy of the
proud privilege of being an American
citizen; nay, such a man is scarcely
fit TO live. Every native born Ameri-
can and every tax payer should take
an interest in politics and with the
weapons Of reflection and a sustained
common sense assist in RELOCATING to a
back seat many of the inefficient, ig-
norant and untrustworthy Office hold

rsrEorAL rELHaRAM TO THE prspArcH.,

-srEoIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcH.i
BOSTON, March 1.-Governor Russell has
unearthed a big scandal in connection with
the management of the Massachusetts State
Prison, which will result in the decap-
itation of eight or ten guards and re-
turn of a greater number of prisoners.
For two months past the convicts have
been cutting their way out of the Charles
town bastile. The warden has been puzzled
by the unwonted conduct of affairs. but
could not account for the presence of so
many saws, files, etc., in the hands
of the convicts. Governor Russell started
q little informal Investigation on his own
responsibility, and it disclosed the fact that
the prisoners were furnished with the means
of escape by the very guards who were
sworn to keep them in confinement.
For long time past certain OF the guards,
about 8 or 10 out of so. have been making
money out of the convcts by selling them
saws, files and revolvers. One guard was
caught after having made bargain
with the sister of one of the
prisoners, to whom extra privileges were
allowed. He was discharged. The other
guards seem to have been tempted by the
big sums of money offered by the prisoners.
It is hard to get at the exact offenders, be-
cause everything wrong has been done
through third and sometimes fourth
party.
One prisoner secured his saws by giving
money to a convict, who knew a convict
who could find the officer to bring the articles
to him. The revolver found in the hands of
one of the prisoners at the time of the big
riot last summer was brought into the
prison by an officer for one of the convicts.
1t cost the convict S25. and the officer made
a profit of about $40 on the deal. OF course
all the offenders will be dealt with as their
offense demands.
