WHITMAN OPPOSES
RAZING SING SING
Plans 10 Have 100000 Appro-
propriated for New
Cell Block.
rrom s.sr Correspondent Of The Tn5

Albany. y. Y, Feb. 49, Neither Gov
ernor Whitman nor legislative leaders
agree with the State Prison Commits
sion IN its recommendation that Sing
sing prison be razed. Under the pres
ent plans of the administration Sing
Sing will be retained and new cell
block con structed for il. An appropria-
ton OF 100000 for this cell block has
already been agreed upon
ID is the belief of Governor Whitman
that Sing sing should be used Is
criminal clearing house for the metro
politan district. and that farm colony
prison should be constructed at either
Winpdale or Beekman. At both these
places sites had been purchased al dli-
fcrent times for new prison. but the
plans were later abandoned. The state
still owns the property
"Sing Sing is needed. and should not
be abandoned" said the Governor to-
night. 81 am ardently IN favor OF a
fam colony near the metropolitan DIS
trict that will care for about LOO prs
orers. but that Will not oDyiate the ne
cessity for Sing Sing as receiving
prison. The old cell block should be
iorn down and new one constructed.
l. must be borne i'm mind that the
prison population of New York Is con-
stfntly growing.
Governor Whitman has already con-
ferred with Warden William +. Homer
o. Great Meadow prison, where there
is now a farm colony, concerning the
construction Of farm colony prison
at either Wingdale or Beekman. Most
/ OF the work II is said, can be done by
prison labor. Senator Henry VI. Sage
/ chairman Of the Finance Committee
represents the feelings Of the legls
lative leaders toward the project. H'
has expressed himself in favor OF

( introduced a bill providing for the ap

CHOOSING GRAINS FOR MASH
Best 10 Have Them Ground About
Same Fineness-Hens Pick Out
Larger Pieces of Corn.

In choosing grains for a dry mash,
it is better to have'them ground about
the same fineness. Hens are greedy
creatures; they are inclined to pick
out the big pieces of corn and wheat,
and leave the finer bits till the last.
A gentleman who made his mash
by the hit-and-miss system of mixing
cracked grains, ground grains and
flour together, found that when the
birds reached the last of the mash
in the hopper, they got too much cot
tonseed meal-one of the ingredients
of his mash which we do not recon-
mend-in the finer portion, and he
lost several birds from acute indiges-
tiOn.

MUNICIPAL MOVIES MAY
SOON COME INTO VOGUE
One Kansas Town Already Owns the
Nickel Theater.

Having rounded up 1872 municipal
than 200 water plants, Kansas Is now
after municipal ownership of its no.
ton picture theaters. One Kansas
town already owns it's motion picture
house and refuses to let any private
competitor come in. Three other towns
are arranging for municipality owned
and conducted movie houses.
Kansas believes in municipal owner-
ship not because of any theoretical
views, but because of actual expert
ence, says the Kansas City Star. Com
munity after community has entered
the field of electric lighting, for exam
pie, and without exception they have
lowered their rates and improved their
service. All the publicity of utility mo-
nopolists avails nothing in the face of
the concrete facts as Kansas has dis
covered them. You can't tell a Kansan
that municipal ownership is a failure
and get away with it when the city
light plant which he ~patronizes has cut
his bills in two and given him better
service.
Kansas has a public utility commits
sion, but there is no certificate of con
venience and necessity provision, as
In Wisconsin, which gives the private
company in the field an everlasting mo-
nopoly and a perpetual franchise. Cor
poration regulations. tried to tack
such a provision on to the Kansas law
at the last session of the Kansas legis-
lature, but the municipal ownership
people in Kansas proved too much for
them.
If he doesn't like the way the public
utility corporation does business the
Kansan demands as an inalienable
right that he be free to tackle the bust
ness himself. The welfare of a whole
community is more to him than the fic-
titious fright" of any eastern capitalist
to bleed a people indefinitely merely
because he has IN investment made
originally for that purpose.
If the individual capitalist can do
business on the same basis as the city
and he usually can if he is forced by
competition to do so-he is welcome tc
continue in operation. If he can't he
may seek other investments In other
states, where there is greater reverence
for widowed and orphaned" stockhold-
ers and the divinity of Z per cent.

STATE CAPITOLS TOO SMALL
Many Not Large Enough to House the
Offices.

One-third of the states of the Union
find their capitols inadequate to ac-
commodate the increased state activi-
ties that have grown up in recent
years, according to data gathered by
the Columbus (O.) chamber of COM
merce, and are wrestling with the
problem of finding additional room. To
aid the Ohio building commission the
organization has secured information
from many states on the manner in
which the problems are being solved.
The majority seem to favor the plan
of erecting a new office building as an
n to the present capitols. In some
states the plan has been to build addi-
tiOns to present structures OF to re-
model the buildings to make more
room.
Washington has gone in for a com-
prehensive group plan of state build
ings to cost more than $6,0O0,000.
while California is bringing to compile
ton a new capitol costing a similar
amount. Each is located in a large
park. Compared to these the Ohio plan
to spend little more than $1,O00,000 is
thought to be very modest.
At Madison, Wis, is being completed
a new statehouse that has cost $1,000
900, while in Nashville, Tenn, the plan
is to build a separate Office structure.
The same sort of plan is entertained in
Nebraska. Michigan, like Ohio, is get
ting ready to provide additional room
for state departments. In none of the
states does it appear that the rent OF
outside quarters has been made a pc
litical issue, as it was in Ohio.

AS She Remembered II.

Miss Blanche Johnson, Sunday
school teacher Of a primary class at
Hope Chapel, Nineteenth street and
Washington ven N, Minneapolis,
is wondering whether her efforts to-
ward uplifting humanity are worth
while.
In a recent lesson she told the chill
dren how Moses had led the Israelites
to the land Of Canaan, guided through
the wilderness at night by a pillar Of
fire.
The next Sunday she asked the chill
dren what the previous lesson was
about. An intelligent-appearing little
girl raised her hand and answered:

of Canaan by a caterpillar."-Wash-
