Kansas Prison Statistics.-The re
port Of Warden McClaughry of the fed
eral prison just issued, contains a
world of facts which are interesting
TO even the average citizen. The big
prison is a little world all by itself
Briefly outlined the following is the
history of the prison for the year. The
present population is TAI. The ap-
preparation for maintenance for the
fiscal year just closed was S1S7,500.
Expenditures for the same period,
$175,792 65; leaving unexpcnded, a bal
ance of $11,707.35. Amount expended
for subsistence during fiscal year,
$39,207.39 Average number of pris-
oners fed, S34.01. Average yearly cost
per prisoner, S4650. Average yearly
cost OF clothing per prisoner $171G.
Total average cost per prisoner per
year, $20S.53 During the year ten
prisoners died, three were transfer
red TO asylums and three were par
doned. Fifteen had their sentences
committed and 474 were released upon
expiration of sentence. There are AZ
men under 20 years of age in the pris-
on and six over 65 years of age. The
bulk of the prison population is be-
tween the ages of 20 and 80 years.
There are five prisoners sentenced
for life, five for ten years each and
the balance for short terms. The In
dian Territory and Texas furnish
most of the prisoners. There are 40
foreigners in the prison. There are ia
mon serving their second sentences
and 90 serving third terms and one
doing his seventh term. OF the pris-
oners 292 arc married men and 81
widowers, seven are divorced and
nine separated, while 1888 are single
men which is evidence that the mar
ried men keep out of trouble best.
One hundred and twenty-siX of the
prisoners can neither read nor write.
Among the prisoners there are Is
bankers, 20 BARRIERS and IL black
smiths. Sixteen are clerks, 10 cooks
and IL engineers, while the greater
number, 246 are farmers. Ninety
eight are laborers and % miners and
there is one newspaper artist in the
prison and he isn't eartoonist either.
That the prison physician is busy
man is shown by his report. He had
15,451 sick calls during the year and
ga cases were admitted TO the hospiL-
al. The death rate was low, only ten
out of 634 cases. Five of these were
from consumption. The farm ex-
penses for the year for seeds, stock
and everything only amounted TO ST.
061.11, yet the crops harvested when
estimated at market prices represent
a total value of S14,333,j0, leaving
Il total of over $4,000.

In Regard to Regstration.-lt Will
be a relief to many voters to know
that by failing to vote at the primary
election they did not lose their right
to vote n the general election. There
was some fear on this ground and to
quell it all Attorney General Jackson
rendered an opinion holding that the
primary was not an election at all,
that ii was simply primary and that
it had nothing to do with the registra-
ton of voters in cities of the first and
second class. The opinion reads.
The primary election law has abso-
lutely nothing to do with the general
election laws of the state, and conse-
Quently the registration of electors
in cities Of the first and second
classes. The primary law requires
registration TO vote at the primary,
but the general election laws do not
require one TO vote at the primary
in order TO vote at the general cleo
ton. The primary of August was
net an election at all 1t was just
primary The registration law re-
quires an eloctor 10 vote at each gen.
eral election and to reside at the
same street number or to re-register,
but as the primary Is not general
election, ii is of no consequence
whether an elector voted at the pri-
mary or not. Putting this matter in
another and perhaps in simpler
light. If voter has not changed his
residence and has voted regularly at
the annual city elections in the spring
and the biennial elections in Novem-
Der, he does not need re-registration.
And as for the primary law-forget it,
until the time comes to nominate can
didates again"

Emporia Groeers on the Carpet
J. Kleinhans, state food inspector
dropped into Emporia and stirred
things up among the grocery men who
have not been living carefully up to
the letter of the food laws. After
stores in the center of town Klein
hans had warrants served on seven
grocery men for violating the law. All
seven are charged with selling goods
for containers bearing the advertis,
mrent of goods of other manufacturers
from those sold. Kleinhans says only
a minimum penalty will be imposed
when the cases are heard in Justice

says, TO serve as an example to the
merchants that they must keep to

practically every part Of the state
will be visited. Warden Travis says
there is listle likelihood that any Hun
garian pheasants will be distributed
this year because of an increase in the
cost of their importation. Those inn
ported year ago have multiplied
rapidly and are doing well. Mr.. Ira
Wis received reports from points over
the state frequently that large flocks
of them have been seen. These birds
are protected for five years and the
indications are that by that time the
state will be pretty well filled with
them. Mr.. Travis will import several
hundred blue quails this fall, They
will come from New Mexico. These
quail are game little birds and are as
good eating as the ordinary quail.
Each bird has n top knot. These birds
are already to be found in Western
Kansas where they have come from
the West of their own accord, but Mr..
Travis wants to get them distributed
over the eastern half of the state.

BEGS THE QUESTION.

The following lame reply was
made by the Telegraph to our edi-
torial yesterday with reference to
the trump grand jury" Gasco to in
vestigatc alleged frauds in city
elections of Bluefeld:
THE difference between what The
Leader says Prosecuting Attorney
Sutton was quoted in the Daily
Telegraph as saying and what the
prosecutor himself said amounts to
The Leader charged fraud in the
elections held in Bluefield and has
failed to show it. Its persistence
in charging is only equaled by it's
persistence in failing to prove"
Why does the Telegraph persist
in begging the question? Why is
it that it evades our questions?
Either Mr.. Sutton misrepresented
the Daily Telegraph or the Tele-
graph published something which it
ascribed to Mr.. Sutton that he did
not say.
We will always fail to prove fraud
so long as every arm of the law is
in the hands of the ring Illegal
voters were arrested last year but
turned loose in less time than it re-
quired TO make the arrest
Take the poll books of last year.
There are hundreds of negro voters
on them which were not found by
the tax assessor, which never paid a
dollar into the treasury of Bluefeld
in the way of taxes, and which could
never be located.
1t is all well enough to white
wash the dirty job after it is done:
it is we'll enough for the Telegraph
to say that the Democratic Good
Government Club may appoint an
assistant prosecuting attorney to ap-
pear before the grand jury: II is
well enough for the Telegraph to
publish jumbled financial state
ment, for the auditor to refuse to
allow the Democratic Good Govern
ment Club to audit his books and
conduct the city's affairs without an
np-to-date set of books which any
ordinary business house would re-
quire.
Since all this withdrawing" the
Telegraph is finding much pleasure
in celebrating upon the virtues OF
the present administration.
