A GOVERNOR or A F1GuREHEAD a,

The Senate investigation OF the FL
mira R~eformatory is a fraud. 1t is "A
piece of %jugglery concOcted by collision
between the managers Of the institution
and their friends in the Legislature 10
stave off action on the report of the
state Charities Commission ami TO keep
the brutal Brockway and the unfIithful
managers in power,
1t will be fortunate for Gov. Flower
II he clears his skirts satisfactorily OF
the suspicion Of being in sympathy and
accord with the trick.
The Governor Is a useless piece OF Of
fetal machinery IL he Is powerless to
obey the Constitution and take care that
the laws are properly enforced. He IL IA
mere fgurehead If n board OF local man
ayers can insult him and set him mt de-
fiance.
This is just what the Elmira Reforma-
tory managers have done and
what they will continue to do
every day as long as he allows the tor
turer Brockway to indulge in his cruel
and lawless acts In the institution.
1t is absurd to say that Gov. Flower
Is powerless in such a case. If he Is
powerless he Is useless. These men have
been found guilty after a long and pa
tient trial. Does Gov. Flower believe
that the State Board OF Charities is ar
Incapable or dishonest body? on what
other ground can he refuse to accept
their work and respect their conclusions?
One point has already been settled.
Another trial OF the charges against
Brockway and his acComplices. the man
ayers, is ordered. on the first trial tho
Governor insisted that 1t was necessary
and just to suspend the Superintendent
pending the trial. hen Brockway had
not been convicted OF the offenses
charged against him. Now. he has once
been found guilty.
Under these circumstances. car Gov,
Flower hesitate to demand the suspen,
sion of Brockway and his entire eXclu-
sion from the Reformatory pending
this second trial?

The worst blow that could be struck

Edna In her letter has opened a subject that
Is, It Eeems to me. the bugbear OF the age.
Why in the name OF common sense does she not
profit by the example OF her beau and be willing
to give up her ideas OF religion, which only dif-
fers In a few ceremonies. to nearly all other re-
ilgous beliefsi l cannot presume to give ''Eina'
advice, but I can venture to offer my opinion.
To me there seems only one way out OF her difi-
Guilty, and that Is to do as I have said above.
She Is sacrificing her whole worldly happiness
by dallying between two alternatives. She may
never nnd another young man that will so suit
her tastes, and l recommend her to strike while

the good and the evil. will not misjudge her and
punish her for a sin where no sin is intended.
