Delaware Home Scandal

Two weeks after the adjournment
OF the Legislature a long smothered
scandal developed at the states Ia
dustral home for girls, at Della
ware. vi ,,HA Avis
Two girls sent TO that institution
as wards of the state for reforma-
tion were removed two weeks ago
to maternity hospital at Colum
bus. The details are TOO reVolting
to repeat here, but ii is permissible
TO state that this is not the first
incident OF the kind in connection
with state institutions. Two yeasr
slgo there was a similar scandal at
the Athens state hospital but Cover
nor Harris didn't care TO have
much publicity about 1t, and nobody
was ever punished for II.
We may also state with propriety
that the industrial home at Della
ware, for the trsinmg OF wayward
girls, is still under the management
inherited from the administration OF
Governor Harris. The exposure o,
such revolving immortality proves
the need of two things. a prompt
and vigorous investigation and an
equally prompt reorganization of the
institution. The people OF Ohio can
rely on Governor Harmon to prop
erly attend to both instead OF fol-
lowing the course pursued by Cover
nor Harris with reference to the
same kind OF immortality at the
Athens hospital.
Instead of giving the governor
full power to act, as requested by
Governor Harmon in his first mes
sage, and as proposed in the origi-
nal draft of the Woods investiga-
tion bill It was ordained by the
Republican majority OF the leglsla-
ture, acting under instructions OF
the Republican bosses, that scandals
OF this or any other character af-
fecting state institutions should be
'investigated" by F'bi-partisan

been nothing better than a farce.
But the governor still has enough
authority, although somewhat limit

a complete overhauling. The story
OF two unfortunate girls will estop
the governors critics from repeat
ing their cry of "peanut policies
when he shows up the laxity of
discipline and the depravity that
has prevailed in this institution un
der its present MANAGEMENT, and
when he holds that management TO
a strict account therefor.

UNLOCKED FOR EVIDENCE
AND LITTLE REASONING

The past week saw much good ac-
complished for the Overland auto
mobile project. Today marks the
beginning OF new effort, or rather
Of a renewing of the old endeayor
TO land the factory and THAT right
early. The goal is much nearer
than it was one week ago, but It
has not been reached and the busi-
ness men who are working for the
success of the enterprise, do not
intend TO be found sleeping until the
hast dollar has been secured. The
indications are now that the goal
will be reached this week and that
instead of a new Easter bonnet, Miss
Marion will be proud in the assur-
ance that she is to take on a new
growth and make a great stride in
importance as manufacturing city
before another Easter shall arrive.
There mas been some speculation
among the citizens as to why fac
tory of the size and Importance OF
the Overland works would consider
leaving city like Indianapolis and
locating in Marion. II has been
stated by men who have visited
the shops which are located in diff
ferent parts of the Indiana capital,
THAT II is ba'alrse of the Inability TO
secure a location wlIich was adapted
10 the needs of the company. These
sAepties have wondered why IL was
that there were not locations in In
dianapolls which could he secured.
Their are some suitable and desirable
hocatdoDs, but the best answer o
this query comes from very unex-
pected course. The Vandalia rail-
road, part of the Pennsylvania
system, has just completed It's am
mual reporb and copy Of 1t has
been received az this oflre. in this
repont hAere is the following item:
*Real estate for new freight house
at indianapolis, S393j523 so.
Does not this answer the question
nonelusiselg. Is II not apparent to
everyone that the reason iUhe Over
hand warts 10 leave Indianapolis is
found p the high price OF real
estate. "a it, costs the Vandaha al
most folh' hundred thousand dollars
to secure location for a freight
house in that city, 1t would cost a
sum which would be prollibItiye to
secune a site such as would be re-
quired for locating the mammoth
plant which the Overland company.
This statement also furnished one
OF the very best arguments for Ma
rion se.uring the factory Real
estate in Indianapolis has bounded
dn price to the point where a rail-
road company must pay four hum
dred Thousand dollars for site for
