QUIT YOUR FUSSINO.
It seems to us there Is a great
deal of unnecessary friction between
tlio county commissioners and tho
county sheriff In regard to tho hand-
ling of the prisoners nl Kelly's Ittitte.
Tho sheriff Is allowed, wo under-
stand, 12 1& cents n meat for feeding
tho prlsonrs. Tho county comtnls-
slonors claim they nro feeding the
prisoners nl nu expense of 25 cents
n day. This makes n difference of
33 1-3 percent In favor of tho comtnls-
sloncrsi but wo nro told tho food is
not what it ought to bo and that tho
men nro worked hard nnd do tho
work Hint would otherwlso cost J2.G0
per dny to hnva done by common la -
bor. When n man Is made to work
hard, ho should havo tho best nour-
Ishlng food, nnd It docs not matter
whether ho Is n criminal undergoing
punishment or not. It Is good busl-
ncsh to feed him well In order that
lie- may havo strength to work well,
Ono can save 1214 cents In food and
lose $l.r0 In labor by tho operation.
