THURSTON, Associate Editor I'lUSON INVESTICATION Tlie present piobe into conditions preceding the rei-inl riot at Uuelph liiforniatory are rather startling if one-half that the witnesses charge ate tiue. These charges make it appear that the place of guard and prisoner ought, in at least some \a s-tances, to be exchanged. There are young men in that institution who arr first offenders and whose criminal tendencies are being fanned into fury by the alleged treatment handed out III them by those placed in authority over them. We believe that similar charges could be laid against most of our other criminal institutions, Th calibre of a prison guard is !iol of the highest in many cases, and he apparently possesses the idea that the man who makes one slip from the path of rectitude is something less than human and who ought to be hounded and mentally flogged by a sharp tongue which political pull has given him the power to wield over the unfortunat« whom he has been allow- ed to persecute. This Js the lesson 'We have learned as the trial goes on. We must, however, await the full report of the Commission before forming a complete estimate of the ffood and bad existing in our penal 'nstilutions. .lare was no possible shortage ol power in sight. Now the Govern- ment has made a new contract wilh the Chats Falls Power Company. I'he two things don't just jibe, you know. If there was no possible ihance of shortage of power last <ummer, the situation cannot have materially changed in this short space jf time. It looks as though our pol- uicians were playing 'ducKs an:: .Irakes" with Hydro, something that never would have occurred had Sii Adam Beck's policy continued since his death. He had declared that Hydro would never become the cats paw of any parly.. Never is a long lime, and he could not have foreseen what might happen after his re- straining hand had ceased to function EAST MOUNTAIN EDITORIAL NOTES BORN â€" In Markdale ho.spital on Monday, Febiuary »th, 1!»;!7, to Mr and Mi-s.
