Fairbanks Cocktails.

A new version, via Detroit, of the
Fairbanks cocktail bout does not
unfortunately bear the stamp of
veracity, although it is vouch4d for by
Bishop Jospeh E. Berry. The Bishop S
version of the matter as he is reported
says: There probably is no doubt
that liquor of some sort appeared on
the Vice-President' table when he en-
tertained President Roosevelt at In
dlanapoliS, "but as it is told to me the
Vice President did not order the drinks
and did not even know they were
served.
MIR. Fairbanks never touches a
drop of intoxicants himself, but it is
we'll known that President Roosevelt
likes drink now and then.
when he came to indianapolis, the
word went from the President to the
caterer, whether directly or through
his secretary, that he wanted the
drinks, and:the drinks were served.
1.-The arrangements were entirely in
the hands of the caterer, and it is
creditahle that Mr.. Fairbanks did not
even notice that the drinks were on
the table,"
Now in the first place why at this
late day blame President Roosevelt,
who is too much of a gentleman to
order drinks osTIbe served at dinner
In another mans house. Either Bishop
Berry is soSgreen that the baa lambs
will bite him, or The is attempting in a
ve.y 1imsy way 70 try to drag Fair
banks out of the cocktail mire. But
there is the wine that followed the
cocktails with thesother courses of the
dinner. Did the President also order
that? Perhaps Bishop Berry, who is
doubtless as wise as a serpent and as
harmless as a dove, will further en-
Tighten the anxious Methodist breth-
rem. Most ofs.us don't care one way or
the other whether there was cocktails
and wine, o" only water served at that
dinner, if the Methodist brethren had
not kicked up a row about it. But
there is an ethical question involved
that is quite serious. Did Brother
Fairbanks try to favor prohibition
when IN the company of Methodists
and show a more liberal spirit when
President Roosevelt was his guest? He
undoubtedly had the right to provide
cocktails and wines for the President
and his other guests, but why have it
denied by his friends, or try to blame
the drinking on the President. The
Bishop says: President Roosevelt likes
a drink now and then, ".but he cannot
make us believe that even the wicked
Loeb would with fendist delight try
and involve the prohibition Fairbanks
in drinking bout.

The records Eof:.the Auditors office
show that for the three years, 1896,
1897 and 1898 when the Frankfort peni-
tertiary was under the management
of the Republican officials the prison
showed a deficit of 1927, 446.39.
For the years 1899, 1900 and 1901, the
deficit was SOL, $3.50 showing a differ
ence in favor of theADemocrats of
S185, $3.50. -
For the years 1902, 1908 and 1904,
under Democratic control and manage
ment the Frankfort penitentiary show
ed a profit of $14, 1892.
For the year 1905 this prison shows
net profit of 81, 1874.
For the year 1906 this prison showed
a deficit of $6,923.64.
In May 1906 the Democratic Board
of Prison Commissioners entered into
contract with the Montgomery
Company to lease to said company $50
able bodied convicts for a period of
fou: years beginning January 1st, 1907,
the company having the right to renew
the contract for another four years.
The price bid for said labor was 81
cents per day per man, being the high
est price paid for prison labor in the
United States. The contract of the
Frankfort Chair Company expired De-
cember 31st, 1906. The Hoge-Mont-
gomery Company is now working
about 1000 men, 400 of there men be-
ing worked under a contract which will
expire in four years from Januatry 1st,
1907. These men are paid at the rate
of so cents per day, the contract hav-
! ing been executed four years rr or to
January 1st, 1907 with right of renewal
for four years more. Under the preseLt
contract with the HOge-M Montgomery
Company it is estimated that the
Frankfort penitentiary for the year
1907 will make profit of $50, 000.O0
This is the largest profit ever shown
by any prison in the State of Kentucky
and the profit would have largely ex-
ceeded this amount except for the fact
that certain improvements were re-
quired to install the new contractor in
its present quarters. The profits for
the next year will largely exceed those
of the present year. Under the pres
ent Democratic Prison Commission nu-
merous improvements have been made
at both prisons adding to the appear
ance of same and conducive to the well
fare and comfort of the prisoners. At
the last session of the General Assem-
bly, the sum of $38, 10000 was appro-
priated for the erection of buildings
and the equipment of dust collecting
plant at the Frankfort Penitentiary
but owing to the contract made by the
Hoge-Montgomery Company above
named it was not necessary to make

qYou read in the papers daily of appar-

State Prison Management and
Some Comparisons and
Some Contrasts.

The Republican party has often
charged mismanagement of the State
prisons to the Democratic party
Figures comparing Republican with
Democatic management is the best
means of either sustaining or refuting
these charges. The management of
the State prisons was under Republi-
can officials in the years 1896, 1897 and
1898 and since then the democratic
party has been in power and conduct
ing the prisons. The records of the
A lditor's office show that for the three
years, 1896, 1897 and 1898 when the Re-
publicans were in power the deficit at
the Eddyville prison for the three
years amounted to the sum of SIP, 302.-
"a. In 1899 the Democrats took charge
of the prisons and for the years 1899,
1900 and 1901, the deficit was $72, 236.-

Democrats of $40, 966.77.
For the next three years 1902, 1903,

reduced to $48, O34.27 making a differ
ence in favor of the Democrats of S64,
268.57. These amounts were paid in
periods of three years in order to make
comparison with the three years the
prison was under Republican control.
For the year 1905 the Eddyville prison
only showed deficit of S18, 1866 and
for the year 1906 a deficit of $11, 1885,
80 and it is estimated for the year 1907
it will show deficit of about SO, 900, =
