YESTERDAY MORNING.

Yesterday the morning services at
the Broadway church consisted OF IA
special program and DESIGNATED as
"Childrens Day" services. 1t was all
done by the little folks, recitations,

One of the principal features of the
service was the flag drill and it was
beautifully done. Flags representing
many nations were used, all OF them

The different wards are classified
about the same as other prisons and
all of them have an air of particular
attention to everything that goes to
make a perfect prison, where men are
injured for the punishment of crime
but are not subjected to the indigni-
ties of persecution or made to feel
the absolute degradation of their con-
dition.

The hospital ward is under the d.

There can be seen the good effects of

Nearly eleven hundred acres of
land are under cultivation as part Uf
the prisons boundaries and here are
raised all the vegetables that are re-
uuired to feed the prisoners. Sor'

and the work on this extensive farm is
done by the prisoners which is con
sidered one of the best plans for keep
ing the prisoners busy, making the in
stitution selfsustaining, and at the
same time not infringing on the free
labor of mechanics and artisans when
is found to be the case in so many
other prisons.

A nice little stock of Kentucky
Dew" with several bottle of blue
Ribbon" the property OF a man who
disclaimed any intention to dispose
of it in any other way than by
personal use, had been placed in
an clubhouse, where under lock and
key it was supposed to be safe
from any predatory phowler. Three
young fellows whose olfactory pro
clivities had been acutely developed
by long practice in detecting the
presence of spirits and such things,
got to the leeward Of the hiding
place and the temptation was so
strong that under the cover OF
darkness they stealthily broke into
this unguarded dungeon where the
coveted treasure lay and were soon
in possession of the whole smear.
1t was a haul that would have de
lighted the appetite of Bacchus and
the hilarity that ensued caused the
undoing of the illegal possessors.
Amazed and dumbfounded the le-
gal owner detected the loss of his
liquids, and on scouting around SOON

spoiled him of his property.

THE M'ALESTER
PEN|TENT|ARY
TWO PROMINENT ARDMORE,
TIES ARE EMPHATIC IN APPRo.
BATON OF THE INSTITUTION.

Two of our prominent citizens were
in the penitentiary last week, not a.,
unwilling guests Of the warden, CO.
r. W. Dick, but as visitors who from
a desire to see how the place looked
and by invitation Of Col Dick, spent
several hours going over the institu.
tion, which although new, has assum-
ed proportions and is conducted in a
manner that would do great credit to
most OF the older states.
The most emphatic thing about ;he
place is the absolute cleanliness of
everything.
In sanitary methods there is no in
s:itution that eXcels it.
The system adopted for its control
is along the lines of humanitarianism
combined with discipline that serves
as not only a punishment to the in
mates but is calculated to instill in
their minds a desire for better things
and above al respect for the man
at the head who has made himself
the personal friend of every inmate
of the prison.
This is the observation of Col. Sid
ney Suggs and Capt. Wilmington, the
visitors mentioned, who are both en-
thusiastic relative TO the conditions at
the penitentiary and who sincerely
believe that above all is the fact that
Col Dick. the warden, is the right man
in the right place. The penitentiary
is on the road to self-sustaininS con
ditlons. The prisoners, while compell'
ed to feel the sense of punishment
are at the same time treated like men
like humans. and all seem to be salts
fed that the management is unpreJ'
udiced, conservative, and mercliul,
traits that do more to mollify the alb
iect condition of the convict than any
thing else.
The prison is surrounded by heavy
stone walls. sixteen feet in height, and
from the outside presents the same
gloomy and forbidding aspect thai
most institutions of this kind do. The
lul.umes ale all of modern pattern
bui't with a view to maintain perfect
sanitary conditions, and with a view
to furnish light and air that Will be
conducive to the health of the pris
on-rs. The main building is a fine

State Control Of Water Power Sites.

The doctrine of state rights comes
forward one, more to cmbarrass the
country as a whole" says the Chicago
Record Herald. -Four bills are now
before Congress favorng the surrender
by the federal government of the con-
troll Of water power sites to the several
states.
among these is one introduced by
Senator Smoot. This bin if passed
would deprive the United States, of the
control Of all water power sites on the
Spublic domain. and would delegate to
the states all authority to regulate
Their ME-. 40 :
The trainers of these bills maintain
THAT as the water Of non -navigable
:. should control 1t. But it is also true
that the land bordering on such
streams in the public domain belongs
to the United States. 1t is claimed.
furthermore. that the states should not
cbe deprived of the right to regulate
power companies within their bounds.
But they have that right already. What
is involved is not a question Of SOW
ereignty b,R of ownership.
THE settlement OF the question
along broad. nationally unified lines is
the great essential. The country as a
whole can better carry out a compre-
hensive water power policy than any
state.
Special interests would of course
find it more to their advantage to deal
with the separate states than with the
federal government. They could more
easily control state legislation than
congressional legislation. But it is es-
sential to the success of a broad. con-
tinuous policy. one affecting the future
as we'll as the present. that the water
rights in the public domain. no less
than the land itself. should remain I'M
der federal control"
While water power sites in the pub
lie domain in this part of the country
are not numerous. the settlement Of
this question is important to all of us.
as It involves the policy of uniformity
of legislation. II the power sites are
to pass entirely into the hands of the
states and come under their control
absolutely, the terms under which
they then are offered for development
should be as nearly uniform through
out the country as is possible when
due allowance is made for the'variance
IN conditions.
