VIII, THE STATE PRISON.

The State Prison is located at
Waupun and was one of the first
state institutions organized, being
established in 1851. It's object is
apparent and is suggested by the
name, to punish offenders against
the law and if possible reform those,
committed. The rules of the prison
are rigid and observation of them
exacting. Inmates must rise at E
o'clock in the morning and go to
bed at o'clock in the evening.
They must work and do the work
assigned them without murmur,
not speaking to any one without
permission, all their letters are ex-
amined by officials, must battle when
commanded TO do so, dress accord
ing to instructions, sit with folded

A difference between the financial
condition of the government ex-
chequer at present and in the Cleve
land administration is seen in the
amount of gold in the treasury.
Now the gold reserve is $1ozooo,-
900; then the administration had to
issue bonds to the amount of $2o2,-
100000 to get sufficient gold to
render the government securities
safe.

The Economy of the La Fol=
lette Administration.


The platform of the La Toilette
state convention says:
awe heartily approve the honest,
economical, and business-like con-
duct of their respective departments
by each of the officers of the present
state administration. They have
materially increased the income of
the state and reduced expenses"
According to the figures from the
state treasurer's books, the expenses
of the administration have greatly
increased; instead of having been re-
duced. They are greater by ST.
4o8,753.o3 in the last fiscal year than
they were in 1901. The extraordi-
nary sum of $6,SoI,995.Io as receipts
for 1903, included the sum of nearly
100000 paid to The state by the
government of the United States.
This sum was turned into the gener-
al fund although it properly belong
ed to the trust funds. The expenses
that year were $6,2oI, $500, which
left balance to the state of $780,
44o.62, sum just about equal to the
amount received from the general
government.
The general fund disbursements
for the last two years of Gov. SEQ
fields administration were: In 1899,
$2,5S4,1o4 90; 1900, $2,635,I92.85.
The general fund expenses for the
last two years of Gov. La Follette's
administration have been: In 1903,
$3,o4S, 2o2.o4; 1904, 3,73I,o53.I6.
The balance in favor of the last
Scofield administration is, therefore,
$I,55o,o62.5 This would indicate
that when it comes to honesty,
economy, and business-like man.
agement of state finances the SEQ
field administration makes by far
the better showing when compared
with the present reform state gov
eminent.

In two campaigns the Democratic
party advocated an income tax.

Democratic papers claim that all
members of their party are now in
accord and they have again united
and efficient organization. He who
has read the proceedings of the
national Dem ocratic convention will
fail to perceive the logic of such
conclusion. In fact it is as impos-
sible that the antagonistic factions
of the party should agree as it is for
oil and water to mix. The dele
gates to the Democratic national
convention simply fixed up a truce
by sort of "saw off," which at best
is but superficial. This is seen in
the concessions" each faction made
to the other. The Bryan Wing
demanded reaffirmation of the
Chicago and Kansas City platforms
on the subject of free coinage. The
Hill, or gold faction, demanded a
plank in the platform recognizing
the gold standard. Neither side
won, but each agreed to drop that
issue as one on which it was I'M

The Bryan wing of the Demo-
cratic party is practically populistic,
and large part of the Democratic
party accepts whatever Mr.. Bryan
advocates. He recently announced
that he should now organize the
radical and progressive element OF
the Democratic party upon these is
sues: Public ownership of all rail-
roads and public utilities; govern
ment control of telegraphs; an in
come tax; and elect federal judges,
and to 'shold bimetallism in abey-
ance." The old-line Democrats re-
pudiate these fallacies, as does the
Republican party as whole.
