EDITORIAL NOTES.

WARDEN f. L. Whitney has filed
his annual report with the state
prison board. The report is OF
especial interest, in as much as the
political Outs have seen fit to Jump
onto Warden Whitney, in their
insane cravings for something to
kick about. The report shows that
more Improvements have been made
at the penitentiary than were ever
made before under any previous
administration A large new cell
house has been completed, up to
the point OF receiving the steel.
he wall for The women's ward has
been completed, the wall being Is
feet high, and p feet thick, en-
closing ground S2x116 feet Many
other Improvements have been
made. The discipline of the in
stitution has been excellent. But
one prisoner has escaped, and he
was brought back. The cost of
maintenance has been cut down
from $4,000 a month when Warden
Whitney took charge to $2S11.O4
for November, with POS prisoners
now as against 1877 when he took
charge. The members of the prison
board, in accepting the report,
commented freely upon the efic-
iency and economy of Warden
Whitney's administration.

LAST week Senator Hepburn in
troduced bill in the senate, which
very clearly sets forth his views as
to the proper method OF controlling
and restricting the great corpora
tions Of the United States. From
the tone of this bill it would seem
that Senator Hepburn is in favor
of more stringent legislation for
the regulation OF railroads and
great industrial corporations than
the President, although it is not
known at this time whether the
President will favor Senator Hey
burns bill or the Esh-Townsend
bill, or whether some other rate
bill will come nearer meeting the
Presidents views. The principal
difference between the two bills is
that the Esh-Townsend bill propos-
es to place the regulation of rates
in the Interstate Commerce ON
mission, while Senator Hepburn
proposes a National board of Cor
porations with full powers OF super
vision and regulation. fowever
the battle between organized wealth
and the people will soon be on,
and the people of Idaho will have
opportunity to see where their jun
Tor senator stands.
