Single Asks Why Board Has
Changed Its Stand on
Warrenite

When Supervisor Robert w. Single
asked OF the other members last nigh.
whether Or not il Is the intention to
nut only concrete upon the cityis
new streets. he was answered by SUI
pervisors Larsen, Robert Horner, Ben
Hollingera Daniel Logan and Charles
N Arnold. Mar. AHA was the only
one of the members who failed to
speak on The subject.
Mr.. Larsen's explanation was long.
II covered the subject of concrete
from top to bottom, cited instances of
concrete work about the city that had
stood the test of heavy traffic for
many years, and ended with that now
familiar motto, Il am for concrete
first, last and always
Mr. Single stated, in reply that he
Is not opposed to concrete, but that he
wonders II II Isl best for the board to
lay all streets with this substance
when it is yet only an experiment in
the Hawaiian islands. Should the
board not rather put down some other
substance as well?
when left here two months ago,
said Single, I'VE had practically de-
cided on Warrenite pavement come
back now and find that you have your
minds made up to use concrete here,
there and everywhere about the city.
Can we take a stand like this?"
Larsen thought SO. SIS he stated. He
spoke of Queen street, where. he said,
Warrenites had proved unsuccessful.
and asked J a. Gilman, representing

POLITICS AND PRISONS.


Politics state and municipal, have been the
bane' of american 4tison 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 splen-
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 penology as visionary
and Impractical New York is getting an H.
Istration Of this. Thomas Mott Osborne the
warden Of Sing Sing prison, has just been in
dicted for alleged acknowledgement 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

ANIFAVOR CONCRETE FOR 6THAVE.

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. II the city established
concrete as 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. .I
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
from more than one firm. If we have
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.
Wont durable pavement lower the
tax rate in future years? ?" said Arnold.
II 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" N
Following the discussion, which last
ed more than an hour, the board voted
for six-inch pavement Of concrete.

WiIlett, lawyer, was sentenced to Sing Sing
for corrupt poIitics-buying judicial nominal
tions 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. >%= ...a..
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 ses-

oner released from Warden Osborne's super
vision has come again into court.
Politics and prison administration can't 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,
