or responsible dutythan that of appointing three commissioners to carryout the provisions of the law for the establislunent of a new penitentiary system The ditties of the commission will be of such a rrave and responsible character only the very best Men In every respect fitted for the discharge of those duties should be appointed The importance of making a wise seleetion of men to put the new penitentiary law In effect is emphasized by the public appro hension that there is offered a great opportunity foe jobbing and Intrigue The law as enacted may be carried out to the great advantage of the state but there is danger that it may be perverted to the advantage of selfish and designing interests Already there are those who are predicting jobbery and corruption in the penitentiary business It were idle to deny that serious fears are entertained by many whe unalterably oppose the lease system that a big job may be put upon the state unless the Governor takes especial pains to appoint a commission composed of gentlemen of sueb unquestionable character and capability as will preclude the chance of Intrigue and indirection Not only should the appointees on this commission be men of established qualifications recognized capabilities and the highest character but they should not be pollthlans having any selfish ambitions to promote Let us have a stolid staunch unflinchingly correct commission composed of men who will work Polely for the interests of the state Let them be men of sueh standingoand pride of reputation as will preelude the remotest possibility of a job rE
