The Richmond climax. (Richmond, Ky.) 1897-1914, 1911-12-06


There never was a greater mistake
made in Kentucky than when the Legis-
lature took the appointment Of the
Prison Commissioners from the Gov
ernor. 1t was done for the purpose Of
preventing the Republican party from
controlling the patronage connected
with the management of our penal in
stitutions. Il would have boon far bet
ter to have let the Republicans control
the patronage than to have had the
Prison Commissioners control the Leg
islature, which they have done since the
law was changed The Prison Com
missiOners have not violated any law in
doing this In truth, they have done
nothing more than most men in their
position would have done. We have
never yet known meh who had power
over the acts Of a legislative body that
have not exercised that power. The
present Prison Commissioners, so far
as the management OF our peniten-
tial.ies is concerned, have probably
done it as well as if they had been APP
poin,ed by the Governor instead of being
elected by the Legislature The Demo
cratic platform did not condemn in its
platform the Prison Commissioners; il
merely condemned the method of their
election. As long as the Legislature
names the Prison Commissioners the
men who hold these positions will seek
to have their friends elected 10 the Leg
islatrre and will use all the methods Of
modern politics to that end, including
the promise of positions and other things
which they control. This is not the
bad part Of the present law, but the
evil effects that grow out Of it. When
they have helped to elect majority of
the Legislature they are in position to
influence the Legislature to pass or de-
feat measures that have nothing what

upon the Legislature they have only
done what most other men would have
done, but we think the manner Of theiI
selection is absolutely wrong and hurt
full, calculated to increase the abuse
rather than correct wrongs in the State,

ture never contemplated in our form Of
