The Indeterminate Sentence Law Ma
Affect Indiana Farm Hands.

Sheriff Edward Baxter, of Spring
field, H., who came to Orleans af-
ter Henry Nelson ard Fannie Long,
wanted at Springfield for larceny
returned home yesterday with his
prisoners.
In speaking of the intermediate
sentence law, Mr.. Baxter said that
that law in Illinois was becoming
very unpopular, for the reason that
it brought convict labor into com
petition with free labor in the very
worst way that it could be brought
about, and that it had given rise to
a sort of human slavery in some OF
the sections of the state. The in
de!erminate sentence law, Mr.. Bax-
ter says, has only been in effect in
Illinois little more than a year,
but even in so short time it is the
next thing to an impossibilIty for a
farm hand to secure a situation in
the vicinity of the state reformatory.
The law there, the same as in
Indiana, provides that before a con-
Wet can be paroled he shall receive
employment, and, Mr.. Baxter says,
the farmers and others in the neigh
borhood of the reformatory for
miles around the institution go to
the prison and employ the convicts
who are to be paroled. OF course
they can get them very cheap, often
for their board and clothes, and for
every convict that thus secures en-
ployment free laborer is thrown
out of a situation. This thing has
been carried on to such an extent in
Illinois, according to Sheriff Baxter
that it is almost impossible for a
farm hand or common laborer to-
find employment anywhere near the
state reformatory.
The indeterminate sentence law
was enacted in Indiana at the last
session of the legislature and has
been in operation only few months.
Up to this time it has by its opera
tion produced no visible effect up
on free labor, but Sheriff Baxter is
of the opinion that the same state of
affairs that now exists in Illinois
near the reformatory will in less
than a year from now be brought
about in this portion of southern
Indiana. louisville Dispatch.

junction.

When asked what he thought of
Judge Jackson's injunction against
Eugene V. Debs, Gov. Altgeld says:
"It's an internal outrage. The
trainers of all constitutions and the
trainers of all free or republican
governments have regarded certain
rights pertaining to the individual
as the most sacred known to man
ard have always named them in
advance Ct the rights of property.
Freedom of thought; freedom of
action, SO long as not interfering
with the rights of others; the right
to peaceably assemble and discuss
their grievances in an orderly man
ner, freedom of the highway-these
and kindred matters have always
been regarded as lying at the base
of our civilization. Any abridge.
ment of these rights has been con-
sidered as the greatest crime that
could be committed. "

Four old Things.

To prove at what date the first
umbrella was made is a seemingly
hopeless task, but we find records
of their use among the Greeks and
Romans, not alone as protection
from sun or rain but as a distinguish
ing mark of royalty. BY the time
of Queen Anne's reign they had be-
come quite common, simply as a
protection, but they were all i'm
ported until about 1902, when the

England.

carries us back to 1854, when
Nicholas Van Benchoten. . young

first one TO protect the finger of his

The needle, rs we have it, in
various shapes and sizes, is the re-
suit Of inventions and improvements
covering centuries OF time. Two
and half centuries ago needles
we're first made in England and to-
day one city employs in its needle
factories 10000 people and manu-
factures over 1OO,00O,OOO needles
every year.
Pins were first made in England
in the fifteenth century and it was
an expert artisan who could make
500 in a day, as the work was all
done by hand. In 1925 Lemuel

United States-the first machine foi
the manufacture Of pins. Now the

bat when analyizsd it looks like this:
Tommy" Hughes, the fusion candidate
for city clerk is member OF the afore-
said locomotive tiremen's association,
which is not labor union at all in the
true sense OF the word, but lodge or
order, and as is to be inferred from the
item, Mr.. Hughes and his fellow associ-
ates are now afliiating with the central
labor union for the first time. They
went in Thursday night Of this week,
which is rather late in the campaign,
and shows on its face that it is all for
effect.
Workingmen, do not allow yourselves
to be used as voting machines in this

Ex-senator John j. Ingalls, for report
ing the Carson prize fight for a New

remember that in so doing the Kansas
statesman was earning few honest
dollars, and was acting in the legitimate
capacity of press reporter. II he
chooses to do such work for living, is
it any more reprihensible in him to re-
port prize fight than for any other
newspaper correspondent to do the same
thing? The simple fact that he had
once occupied a prominent place among
the statesmen Of the country makes no
difference, at all. When President Hayes

A. T. Nominee for mayor,

years ago on fusion ticket of the
citizens and populists, his success be
ing attributable to the platform on
which he ran pledging its candidates
to the strlctest economy in the ad-

is man of upright character aud
