The senate prison Investigating
committee finished its work at
frankfort Thursday night and in a
report signed by all the Democrats /
on the committee exonerated the /
prison commissioners of all charges.
rhe two Republican committeeman
will offer a minority report, alleg- I
ing some violation OF prison rules
by minor employees. They will
make no charges against the COM
missioners.
The investigation seems to have
been thorough and searching. A
large number of witnesses were
called by those preferlng the charg-
es and fully examined. The whole
matter seems to have originated
with one or two former employees at
the prison who bad been discharged
for cause, and their allegations
were wholly unfounded or too trivi-
al for serious attention.
However, it was wise to hold this
/ investigation. 1t leaves the prison
management with no cloud whatev-
er over It. How much better it
would have been to have held
similar investigation of the Hop
kinsvllle asylum charges-better
for the commonwealth, the admins
tration and the welfare of the asy-
lum. The covering up of the Hop
kinsville matter, the removal OF
commissioners and the appointment
of others more friendly to the ac-
cused officers, does not remove the
stigma OF those indictments in the
Christian circuit court The whole
thing looks bad. 1t is shocking to
good morals. 1t leaves behind it
suspicion of distrust. 1t smacks of
the whlte-washing practices of the
days of Dick Tateism in Kentucky.
The people cannot be expected to
stand for practices Of this kind.

The distinction of the March
number of McClure's Magazine lies
no less in the remarkably we'll con-

in the excellence of the individual

yet very different articles are Carl
