WARDEN DRYDEN EXPLAINS
WHY THE STATE. JUTE MILL
WAS CLOSED.
Annual shut-0o Of the Institution
Is Never an Expense to the
Taxpayer.

In an interview this morning rela-
payer in the morning paper regarding
he closing down of the jute mill at the
tate penitentiary. Warden Dryden
said to Statesman representative:
Il note in the columns of the morn
ing paper an anonymous communica-
ton over the signature of Taxpayer
which deplOres the shutdown of the
penitentiary jute mill, and charges That
its inactivity is costing the state $500
per diem.
That the article is a creation of the
editors own genius is evidenced by its
poiEtlessness and plainly carping char
acter.
Taking it for granted that this is
the source of its being, it is fact.
perhaps, deeply to be regretted that
the success of Governor Mcbride.
whose popularity, like a tidal wave.
has eEgulfed the Unions opposition.
should incite it to course of venom
BUSINESS when amabe recognition
would appear more decorOus.
But to correct any false impression
hat might gain currency through the
erroneous publication. ii may be we'll
20 say that it is customary in every
recurring season to close the mill at
east three full months for repairs. Il
g also We'll to add that on the presen;
occasion it Was decided to give the
nil a more elaborate OVerhauIing than
ordinary. for the reason that the wear
md tear of the last few years had dis
qualified the engines and boilers and
that it was found absolutely unavoitl-
able to practically rebuild the motive
equipment.
The pique or ignorance of the ar
ticle, however, is shown all the more
plainly in its untruthful statement that
the present idleness of the jute mill is
costing the LAX payers SoOU per Gay.
The intelligent taxpayers of Washing
ton are we'll aware that both the jute
mill and brick yard of the penitentiary
are maintained by the state revolving
fund. meaning that these departments
are self-supporting and not an expense
against the taxpayers. While it is the
aim to manufacture grain bags with
A view to selling them at cost to the
farmer. it has been found expedient to
realize a slight margin of profit in
order to cover the wear and tear of
machinery.
1T is highly probable that this ex-
plana ton will be in no manner regard
ed as essential But to check the spirit
of vindictiveness that gave the false
hood birth, it is not amiss to say that
the annual shut down of the jute mill
is never an expense to the taxpayer.
and that the overhauling at present in
process in this department is the most
thorough and satisfactory in it's his
tory

Senator James P. Clarke mad

Senator James P. Clarke made
a mistake when he made his
maiden speech in the senate.
Arkansas has no quarrel with
Senator Clarke over his vote on
the Panama canal affair. On
the other hand, we believe Ar
kansas and the whole south is
anxious for the canal, and will
agree with Senator Clark on that
question, but his eulogies OF Mr,
Roosevelt and his methods will
not find a hearty response in the
heart of southern democracy.
From a southern standpoint, Mr..
Roosevelt is the most disliked
president that ever occupied the
White House. A vote for the
Panama route without endorsing
the man who has worked 50 much
harm to the south, it occurs to
US, would have been much more
becoming in Senator Clarke.
