Politics AND PRISONS.

Politics. state and municipal, have been. the
bane of American prison administrations for a
hundred years
Hawaii has had some of the experiences Of
other commonwealth Thanks to the person
atty which High Sheriff Jarrett has put into
his task, the territorial prison is doing SPLEEN
did work toward rehabilitating the men sent
there for punishment But the county Jail,
administered primarily under the patronage
system Of politics, is focus of incompetency.
Nothing but thorough political house-clean-
ing is likely TO root out this incompetency.
Where politics and efficiency clash in prison
administration, the politicians are sure to at
tack the modern ideas Of p4nology as visionary
and impractical. New York is getting an IL
lustration of this. Thomas Mott Osborne, the
warden Of Sing Sing prison, has just been in
dicted for alleged mismanagement of this big
penal institution. The fight made on Osborne
by the patronage politicians of the state is no.
torious They have not only attacked him from
without, but have stirred up discomfort and
even violence within the prison walls. William
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1915-12-30
EDITOR

Willett, lawyer, was sentenced to Sing Sing
for corrupt politics buying judicial nomina-
tons was the exact offense-and Immediately
he began melting the prisoners to testify
against Osborne, so it is alleged by investi-
gators. Willett supposedly is working with a
gang of politicians on the outside. This is a
sample of the many methods used to get
Osborne, who gave up business that had made
him millionaire simply to help the state in
trying to reform the terrible old prison of
Sing Sing.
Osborne's work, however, speaks for itself,
nor does it lack stanch friends to speak for it.
On the very day that revolt was melted in
the prison, Judge of the court of general SEES
sions of New York declared that not one pris
oner released from Warden Osborne's super
vision has come again into court.
Politics and prison administration can It mix
without detriment to the administration. The
only way to insure the community against such
political manhandling is to get the prisons
from under the control of politics.

SUPERVISORS DEBATE ON PAVING
AND FAVOR CONCRETE FOR 9TH AVE.

the Warrenite style OF pavement, to
tell him why this is so.
Gilman said that the fault lay in
the foundation beneath the Warrenite
in the places mentioned by Larsen,
and not in the Warrenite itself.
Logan predicted that cement would
shoot skyward If the city established
concrete as a standard pavement, and
said that property owners should be
allowed to say what they desire.
Hollinger thought that concrete of at
least six inches was the only thing.
and said that even this must have a
top dressing.
Arnold closed the argument at last
and vigorously. His words had evil
dent weight upon the other supervis-
ors. and cries of 'kokua" were heard
when he sat down.
IF we are going to get ahead" said
Arnold, why then don't we agree on
a pavement that we can purchase
to patch concrete we can do it with
more concrete, but we must patch
Warrenite with asphalt macadam, or
else let out contract for more War
renite. Concrete, If properly put
down. is more durable than Warrenite
will ever be.
Won't durable pavement lower the
tax rate in future years?" said Arnold
Il don't care who gets the contract,
but do believe that each of us wants
to think that In years to come we
can point with pride and say, Il helped
put that road through"
Following the discussion, which last
ed more than an hour, the board voted
for asix=inch pavement of concrete
on 9Th avenue, Kaimuki. The final
