structlen would give room for forty ad
ditional cells. For completing and fur
nishing the domestic prison in the rear
of the prinson, for the erection Of which
the Legislature last year appropriated
$500 900, another appropriation Of $780,
900 is now asked. This estimate includes
the building Of a covered passage between
the two buildings. For bath and laun-
dry building the managers want 5000,
it will cost $4,000 for salaries for the
year and $4,000 for the maintenance
$4,000 is asked for the purchase Of ma
terial for improvements and repairs. the
labor to be done by the inmates. Among
the proposed repairs is the replacing of
the present board fence that surrounds
the grounds with stone walt
Other items in the list are 1000 for
the library, $1,000 for farm expenses,
fertilizers. tools. etc. and SO 900 for the
erection of houses for the officers enl-
pioyed in the institution 1t is proposed
to have the State buy the material for
these houses, which are to be built of
brick, by the inmates, the houses to be
rented to the employees when finished.
A model of one of the proposed houses
was shown the visitors, and Mr.. Squire
explained that he thought the investment
would be good one for the State, as the
labor would cost nothing and there would
be no taxes to pay.
With the completion of the new do
mestic building, which will be some time
this spring, the kitchens, dining rooms
and other living quarters will be removed
from the Industrial building, giving more
room there for trade instruction and work
rooms. At present about 100. boys are
being employed in the tailor shop, which
is turning into the State treasury profit
Of from $4,000 to 81 POO month on the
manufacture of overalls and jumpers
With more room, the managers want to
install more machinery and branch our
into some other line of contret work to
aid in making the institution more nearly
self supporting and to give employment
to the prisoners.
Since the reformatory was opened
year ago last August, seventeen prison
ers have been released on parole, and all
are now earning an honest livelihood
trades or occupations learned while IN
the institution. The trades now being
taught IN the reformatory are carpentry,
masonry, plumbing, tailoring aud shoe
making.
a lalt of the military drill yesterday
was turned over by General Gilmore TO
one OF the prisoners, an officer in one of
the compa MES, and he. condicted the ex-
ercise with a spirit and accuracy that
gained him the applause of the leeisla-
tors. The organization of military band
among the prisoners is one of the pro-
posed innovations Of the coming year.
During last year the averag. daily cost
of food il the reformatory was about
thirteen and half cents per prisoner
In November, 1901, the average daily
cost per man was twenty-five cents. In
October last it was seven cents AT pres
ent the average is less than nine cents.
On this average the men are given three
meals day, are able to work nd keep in
good heith, and have pudding or pie near
ly every day.

The Press as a Means of Safety.

In his address before the National
Editorial association at Omaha Pres
ident Garry y. Willard spoke of the
ethics of journalism, and said it was
the duty of every true newspaper
man to stamp out yellow journal
ism. He aroused great enthusiasm in
a denunciatiOn of attempts to throt-
tie the press. He said:
''One of the paramount questions of
the day to our profession is the libel
law, made more pointed than ever by
the infamous enactment of the Penn
sylvania Legislature, signed by Gov.
Pennypacker, whose name will ever
be Odious to all people who believe in
the liberty of the press and who rely
upon its great power to denOunce
crime and corruption in public office.
There is no installing the sentiment
of the press and the people on this
momentOus subject. 1t is the duty of
this body to pass strong resolutions
against this Law, which seeks to throt-
tie the press. and the press should
give both moral and financial support
to secure its repeal. So unjust and
fragrant a violation of the peoples
rights Will not be tolerated in any civ
ilized country.
The liberty of the press has been
threatened by the cOld-blOOded muir
der of fellow journalist in South
Carolina, and we protest with all ear
nestness against the atrocious deed. -
There is food for thought for peo-
pie generally in those remarks.

We Need aChanee.

Congressman Joseph II. Shull of the
Goth Pennsylvania district, in a writ
ten statement given to the press few
days ago, focused attention upon a
matter in which the people at pres
ent are greatly interested. Il have
contended for year or more" said
Mr.. Shull, that the corruption of the
Grant administration would sink into
insignificanee when compared with
the rOttenness in every department
of the present administration. The
postOffice department is near the
people. and an investigation of that
department is likely to throw light
indirectly on other departments that
are worse"
If Mr.. Shull can throw any light on
the crookedness of the government
officials he should do so. The corrup-
ton should be exposed and the guilty
punished. Enough already has been
disclosed to make every broad-mind-
ed voter who is in favor of honesty in
public affairs believe there should be
a change of men and methods at
Washington.

BOOSTS HoWELL'S BUSINESS
Fire and Police Hoard Makes Arbi-
trary Rule on Bonds for
Policemen.

One OF the recent orders OF the Board of
Fire and Police commissioners turns a neat
little bit OF business into the way OF SEN
ator Robert B. Howell OF the Douglas
county delegation to the legislature. The
board recently designated a certain fidelity
bond company as the one in which all po-
licemen should be bonded. II turns out
that this favored company Is represented
in Omaha by Senator Howell. who is in
the insurance business.
Thirteen Of the new policemen recently
appointed passed the muster Of examina-
ti0n and are directed TO give the bond IN
Senator Howell's company at once. Twenty
others who have given individual bonHs
were also directed 10 get bonds from this
favored company instanter. All the rest
of the force is required TO secure these
bonds as fast as their present guaranty
bonds expire. Some complaint is made by
the men who have sureties like John A.
Creighton that they should be forced to
the expense Of giving a bond in a guaranty
company and others are OF the opinion that
the board has acted rather arbitrarily in
directing them 10 forsake the companies
they have heretofore patronzed, and which
were found satisfactory by other boards,
and take out new bonds in a new com
pany. OF course it Just happens that SEN
ator Howell is agent for the company the
board has decided to favor with It's busf-
ness.
