QUESTION THAT is TO BE SOLVED
How to Work the ConvIcts on Non-Com
petitIve Productions.

How to Work the COnvIcts on Non-Com-
petitive Productions.
How to get rid of this system, and
avoid any other system by which con-
vict labor is employed in such man
ner as to come in competition with
free labor, and still letting the con-
victs rot in idlenesS-that is the ques-
ton. The most insistent demand in
connection with proposed changes Of
system is that machine work by con-
Victs be abolished. Union labor argues.
in the words of President Menche, of
the State Federation of Labor, that re-
strictiOn of convict labor to hand work
will go long way in two directions
toward meeting the situation; it will
permit the employment of larger
number of convicts for n less amount
of product and so decrease the compe-
tition of convict with free labor and
will give the convict work of educative
value against the time when he goes
into the world again to seek employ
ment.
1t is argued, in relation to the sec
ond named point, that man who has
learned to make by hand pair of
shoes, for example, can easily go into
modern machine factory and make
any part of shoe on a machine, as is
now required, because he knows the
whole process of making Il shoe, while
he has the added advantage of know
ing how to make pair of shoes by
hand if opportunity for such employ
ment should come to him.
Restriction of convict labor to hand
work, on the other hand, would prob
ably decrease the profit to the state on
convict labor. 1t is contended as to
this, however, that the state must give
up the idea of making money on the
convict if it would grappIe with this
whole question. and must treat him as
public ward. an incompetent, if you
please, the same as it treats Il lun-
attic.
The Chiperfield bill is the longest and
oStenSibly the most comprehensive
measure introduced yet on convict la
Dor. Its very length and compleXity is
sometimes urged against ii. The bill
does not abolish the employment of
convictS on machine work. Its strong
est declaration on that point is that 1T
shall be the policy of the state" to use
no more machinery or motive power
other than hand or foot power. than
may appear TO be required to success
fully carry this act into effect" Else
where it has clauses which seem to
contemplate extensive use of machin-
cry.

I,.ues in an Election Contest.

Springfield. Ills, Feb. %. - The
house COMMITTEES on elections has
scheduled for tomorrow the Barclay
McAanaman election contest. 1t is IN
derstood that the principal contention
of the contestant in this case will be
that McNanaman should be unseat-
ed on account of defect in the bal
lot, his name having been given a
wrong caption. Fraud in several of
the precincts is also alleged, and 1t II
urged that several of them be thrown
out. At the last meeting of the com
mittee the case in the Seventeenth dis
trict was dismissed. aud only the Bar
Iay-McIanaman contest is now be-
fore the committee. McManaman has
not yet flied On answer in the case,
but he will have one ready tomorrow.
This answer will deny the sufficiency
of the petition and ask that the case
take the Same course as that of its
predecessor.

look like ordinary sores and are usually
treated as such, some simple salve, wash
or powder being used in the hope of dry
ing them up and stopping the discharge;
but while the place may temporarily scab
over, it again inhames and testers, be-
coming as bad or worse than ever. After
awhile the deadly poison begins to eat
into the surrounding flesh and the sore
spreads with frightful rapidity. Then the
sharp shooting pains, which distinguish
the cancerous from the common ulcer,
are felt, and the unfortunate patient is
brought face to face with the most dread
ed of all rnaladies, cancerous ulcer.
Whenever an ulcer of any kind is slow
in healing it should be closely watched,
particularly if there is an inherited pre-
disposition to cancer. Often times ma
lignant, stubborn ulcer starts from boil,
wart, mole, bruise, blister or pinple, for

and seeds of cancer are implanted in the

TROUBLED BY CONVICT LABOR
Strong Demand Made in the Legislature
for Reform Therein.

Springfield, Ills, Feb. %. The
convict labor question threatens the
peace of mind of this general assem-
bly,. Union labor, backed by some
manufacturing interests, demands that
something be done now to carry into
effect strict obedience to the constitu-
tional amendment of 1886 absolutely
fCrbidding the employment of convicts
on contract work in competition with
free labor. Representative Drew eX-
presses the thought of every member
who has given thought to the subject
when he says that this problem can
not be solved iegislatively by any one
man or advocate of pet bill, but
needs the most careful. earnest and
unselfish attention of everybody who
can be interested.
Three bills are now before the leg
islature, all purporting to mean the
end of the :nakeshift methods now in
vogue of evading the constitution and
selling the labor of convicts to manu-
facturers. Whether any one of them
fully meets the condition is openly
questioned. The prison contractor now
1hips certain material, say leather ana
findings, to. penitentiaries, and charges
it up as sold TO the state at a certain
arbitrary price. The convicts, under a
form of supervision by the contractor,
work the material into boots and
shoes The product then goes back to
the contractor who furnished the ma
terial. and be credits the state with
1t at certain arbitrary price.
This expesiient was adopted ash
means of getting around the constitul
donal provision against contract "a

Dor, the bookkeeping being SUPPOSED

terial, uses it in it's own way and dis
poses of the product on its own at
count without the intervention of the
constitutionally inhabited contractor.

LAWMAKERS PLAN
In the Illinois General Assembly
When the Matter Is That
of Appropriations.
QUESTION WORRYING THE soLoNs
Is That OF Convict Labor, Which the
Labor Unions Are Pushing
Limit of Death Damages.

Springfield, Ills, Feb. 23.-Commit-
tee work will again be the feature of
the session of the legislature this week
and probably the most important of
this work will be done by the appro-
priations committees. There is dis
position among the members of both
the house and senate committees to get
rid of the primary work on appropria-
tions at an early day, in order to Sc
cure data in relation to the amounts
needed by the state institutions. This
data is necessary in order that the adj
ministration may know what policy it
will have to pursue with respect to the
new appropriations asked.
Method ms to Appropriations.
The appropriations already suggest
ed through bills introduced in the two
houses greatly exceed the amount Of
money that the legislature can appro-
pirate without raising a storm among
the taxpayers; and it will be an easy
matter to Overstep the limit unless
there is careful supervision of the eX-
penditureS authorized. For this rea-
son the initial action taken on appro-
priation bills by the committees will
be primary, and subject to reconsidera-
ton. None of the regular apprOpria-
ton bills will get through until after
provision has been made for the reSu-
lar bills.
Action on the Sherman Resolution.
The resolution adopted by the house
committee on appropriations as a sub
Stitute for the Sherman resolution re-
curing the state institutions to itemize
their estimates for appropriations is to
be reported to the house this week,
probably tomorrow. 1t will be adopt
ed and will then be sent to the senate
Sherman is of the opinion that the
purpose of making it a joint reSolu-
ton was to have it killed in the senate.
or buried in one of the committees Of
that body. Representative Indy says
this is not the case, and insists that he
acted in good faith in presenting the
substitute. Several members of the
senate have predicted that the resolu-
ton will be adopted if it is sent to that
body.

Labor People Urgent That a Bill Remov
Ing the Limit BE Passed.
Springfield. Ills, Feb. pa large
number of labor representatives will be
in the city this week. Inaadditien to
the convict labor proposition, which
was given a hearing before the commit
tee on penal and reformatory institu-
lions, the labor unions are interested
in several other measures. Among
these are some amendments to the eX-
listing mining laws, some of which have
just been Endorsed by the state conven-
ton of the United Mine Workers and
urged for passage. The bills increaS-
ing or removing the limit of death
damages are scheduled for early con-
sideratiOn and the labor people will
ask that they be taken up this week.
1t is the general opinion that instead
of to remove the limit entirely there
will be compromise measure increas-
ing the limit to $4,000. or possibly
$4,000 The organization leaders in
the senate have signified their willing
ness to pass q compromise bill on some
such basis.
Strenuous efforts are being made TO
force the house steering committee to
make the bill Il party question. This

Rev. Ill. w. Reed, pastor of the First

forum of the church was filed to

above organizations and the regular
congregation.
The decorations for the occasion
were simple and yet beautiful The
forward part of the church was al
most hidden by large flags. including
those of the patriotic bodies in at
tendance at the services. Prominent
ly displayed were pictures of George
and Martha Washington, Lincoln and
Mckinley. Preceding the sermon
there were special musical numbers.
including tenor solo by David w.

with a reference to the words that
were on all lips at the outbreak of
the late war with Spain, Remember

ship that awoke into full life at that
time. Paul was Il Roman and could

Growth of Patriotism.

With this as prelude the speaker
traced the origin of devotion of Amer
leans to their home and country 1t
had its beginning first in the days
preceding the Revolution when the
valiant leaders of that day aided its
dissemination among the people.
Then during the first great conflict
the sentiment centered in the life and
action of Washington.
From the Revolution to the civil
war a great difference arose between
the people and an cstrangement de
veloped that blood alone could wipe
cut. The issue hung finally upon the
election of Lincoln. and then during
that awful conflict the sentiment that
finally triumphed conferred about the
present. In the darkest hours he took
his burden before his Creator for re-
lief.
After the civil war came the efforts
at reconciliation and slowly the brok-
en- bonds were made ready for the
welding process. To such men as
Henry Grady. of the Atlanta Consti-
tuition. and to the editors of the New
Orleans Picayune gratitude is due,
they having rekindled the spark that
made possible the final result.
Then came the Spanish-American
war. in which the north and the south
were finally and. we hope, perpetually
welded into a mighty nation. Thus
we see that Washington nodded the
nation. Lincoln saved it nd Mckinley
unified it.
In conclusion the pastor spoke of
the greatness of the United States,
based as it is upon the loyalty and
rectitude of its citizens, and he APP
pealed to the people before him, and
especially To the enlisted men, to live
true lives and do their part toward
the great end of keeping America at
the van among the nations of the
earth.
