Convict labor should be SO employed
that it will in the smallest possible de-
gree enter into competition with honest
labor and will at the same time con-
tribute in the largest measuee to the
benefit Of the public. Thus many ad-
vocate the use of convict labor in the
building of the public highways. This
plan, while theoretically all right, is
not easy Of execution. 1t vastly in
creases the cost of guarding the prison
ers and enlarges the opportunities for
their escape. and, while the plan is in
a way made successful in the southern
states, where hand labor can be used to
clear off the timber and ditch the high
ways, it cannot be made to work so
well in the we'll settled states, where
the improved highway, if ever built,
must Of necessity be mostly the work
Of improved machinery, directed by
skilled operators. At best, the limita-
lions governing the use Of convict la
Dor for this purpose would seem to be
confined to road work within such dis
lance of the prison that the convicts
could be returned to their quarters
each night. Taking the situation as it
is, we do not regard the scheme as
practicable.

soUTHERN PRospERITY.

The south waited long for the sun
shine of prosperity. Broken, bruised
and bankrupted by the civil war; ambi-
ton and credit destroyed, confronted
at every turn by a legacy Of bitter
ness and prejudice intensified by dis
organized social conditions, the years
went on with seemingly little hope Of
better times-of the coming of the time
when she could seize the advantages
possible with her splendid climate and
magnificent natural resources. The
good time SO long waited for has come
to her at last, the era of peace and
good will, of enterprise and progress,
Of ample capital, of crop production
which in its diversity and volume is
surpassed nowhere on earth. And the
present development is only begin
ming, but 1.-THE of what the future
holds in store for this favored section
of our country.

THE real UNDER DOG.

We wish to say word about the
most i'll used people in the country, the
third party-the consumer-the hapless
victim of all these gigantic scraps be-
tween labor and capital. We think 1t
is time for him to have his innings and
make kick. He, up to this time, has
paid all the expenses of this continual
fighting, has been mulcted for damages
right and left until his patience is well
nigh exhausted. The sympathy once
felt for the labor unions in their dis
putes with capital as the under dog in
the fight is about played out, and the
poor victim who pays the bills isl get
ting to recognize but little difference
between the ever dissatisfied unions
and the rapacious trusts. If the losses
thus inflicted upon the public during
the past year-useless and unjustifiable
losses could be totaled the whole
country would be astounded. If these
two factions must forever be warning
there should be some way in which to
make them stand the expense.

1NsAN1rARx FARM HoMEs.

A country physician-that is, doc
tor who has large practice among
country people-told us recently that
farm homes as class, notwithstanding
the natural advantages which surround
them, are most woefully lacking in
ordinary sanitary equipment. lie says
that quite often he finds no way where
by a sickroom may be properly ven
tilated, every window crack and Granny
being tightly closed for winter hiberna-
ton. He further says that the average
temperature Of many Of these homes in
the winter is at least ten degrees too
high, which with the lack of fresh air
Is a most provoking cause of many Of
the ailments of the people who live in
them. City people, in spite of their
crowded condition, pay much more at
tention to this matter of proper ventiia-
ton than do country people.

GOODROADS MEETING
D. 3. LYONS OF DIES MONIES TO
SPEAK AT WAPELLo COUNTY
COURT HOUSE.
State Secretary of Iowa Good Roads
Association Will Address Meeting
Arranged by WapeIIo County Associ-
alton, January IS.

On Friday afternoon, January Is, at
1870 O'Clock, in the court room, at the
county court house, d. B. Lyons, of
Des Moines, state secretary of the
Iowa Good Roads association. will
speak before a meeting of the mem
bers of the Wapello County Good
Roads association, the, farmers of the
county and all business men of OF
tunnwa and neighboring towns who
are interested in the subject of good
roads.
The Iowa Good Roads association
is an outgrowth of the convention held
at Des Moines, upon call of Governor
Cummins, April Is, 1908. 1t is Off
cered by some of the best men in
Iowa. who are all earnest advocates
of better roads for Iowa The sec
rotary, D. B. Lyons, is president of
the commercial exchange of Des
Moines and is a well known organizer.
On the executive committee are such
men as Senator T. G. Harper of Bur
lington, ]. S. Morgan of Dubuque, J..
G. Berryhill of Des Moines and e. e.
Hart of Council Bluffs. Homer A. Mil
Ter of Des Moines. is the treasurer of
the association.
Thirty County Organizations.
Through the energetic endeavor of
Secretary Lyons and the executive
committee, county organizations have
been so far perfected in thirty of the
most populous counties. The CONNER
cial clubs of the state, realizing that
good roads mean as much to the bus
mess men as to the farmers, have
been active in arranging for these
conventions and in helping to defray
the expenses. 1t has become recog-
nized that the building of permanent
highways is no more the farmers bus
mess than that of any other citizen.
The good roads movement is taking
a firm hold upon the people, and inn
portant action will not be long defer
red. In fact, the legislative commit
tee has already been assigned the task
of introducing to our next general as
sembly, measures that will look to-
ward the end sought.
Wapello County Organization.
At recent meeting held in the
county court house representatives
from practically every township in
the county were present and organized
the Wapello county association by
and adopting articles of association
The coming meeting will be the first
one held ince the organization of the
association. The organization will be
completed and it will become at this
time q branch Of the state and the
national associations.
Women are Invited.
The hour at which the meeting is
set will permit those who attend from
a distance to return to their homes
at a seasonable hour. Women are
invited to be present as well as the
men. 1t is also especially desired that
there be a large attendance of the
merchants and the business men Of
the city. The meeting has been ar
ranged by the officers and the execu-
tive committee Of the Wapello county
| association and they desire a large
attendance.
