Indianapolis Sentinel

Indianapolis Sentinel.
The first three months of Superintendent
Whittaker's administration at the Reforma-
tory at Jeffersonville have earned for him
the commendation of good citizens. What
ever mistakes he may make in the future.
he has started well, and is deserving of the
support and well-wishing of the people OF
the State, without regard to political affiili-
atoms.
Mr. Whitaker assumed control of the In
stitution under the most unfav0rable condi-
tions Appointed under the provisions or
the ripper BILL" IL was the expectation or
almost everybody that he would proceed at
once to put the Reformatory on political
basis anf make OF IL an important cog in
the dominant political machine. But his
He selecAed his staff with an apparent dis
regard f,r political affiliations, and the In
stitution Is to-day more nearly upon nom
partisan basis than il has been for years.
He seems to be honestly endeavoring TO
make the Reformatory carry out its mission
of reform. He has very greatly reduced the
amount of punishment meted out to prison.
ers has improved the educa tional features
of the institution, and is aiming at policy
which will give the unfortunate youths a
training that will enable them TO go back TO
the world with the ability to earn honest
livings Many of his reforms are yet to be
developed and the pathway he has marked
out for himself will be hard one TO travel,
but If he maintains his present policy and
continues TO sturdily resist the application
of political, pulls he is assured of the SYM
pathy and appreciation of men of all parties.

not then paying on demand, but on thirty
days notice, account of being ruled off
the turf at New Orleans. Miller said the
string was intended to prevent Ryan
from using the letter for promoting or
advertising his betting schemes. He had

in the Ryan case he did not show the tele-
gram TO Christiancy as the latter was bit
terly opposed to friends appearing as coun-
sci in the department and talked against
the appearance of Barrett the nephew of
Tyner. He did not advise Christiancy later
when he got letter from Johns wanting
to be notified of any decision in the RYAN
case for the same reason. He answered
Johns's letter in the usual official way and
gave no special information About that
time all in the office were exercised over a
magazine and other articles on Barrett ap-
pearing In cases under Tyner Miller said
Christiancy expected to get Tyners place
and had promised to advance witness to his
place.

violation of postal laws after the Chris

and produced copies of those orders He
said he had mailed the ruling to Johns
because the latter had so requested as Ry-

Governor did say was that ii was claimed
in behalf of Mayor-elect Holtzman that he

conditions in Indianapolis that the public
would look to the new mayor for the full
fillment OF the pledges made by him and in
his behalf and that his efforts in this di-
ed by much difficulty and embarrassment,
would be watched with interest and the
hope that the claims made in his behalf
were sincerely advanced.
