THE CONVICT.

(McCallsburg Tribune.)
It Is urged that convicts must not
be kept idle, that they must earn their
living. that the people should not be
taxed to feed and clothe an army OF
criminals, and so forth and SO forth.
Let US see how this works. The
state arrests a young fellow, who, let
US say In drunken quarrel. stabbed
Ia com panion. He. Is hurried away to
prison. He is brought into court, tried
and convicted. He Is sent to prison Tor
Ave years or for ten years, or for life.
All the while a young wife and half
dozen little children are left without
their natural protector and support.
They l1uddle in, corner Of the court
room They hear the lawyers yawp
They listen to the verdict. The case Is
closed. The young father Is bundled
off in one direction In chains. The
young family is turned of In another
direction In tears. The state takes the
time. the earnings of the one to itself,
leaving the other to starve. The moth
er dies OF despair. The boys grow up
thieves. The girls grow zip harlots
The law Is indicated. The tax payer
is protected. The criminal classes are
replenished. Is 1t not damnable? Does
not the society which tolerates such
deserve all the, evil 1t en-
tails upon itself? The state has no
right to take that mans labor from his
wife and children and give them no
equivalent. 1t should punish the guilty
not the innocent. Every dollar that IS
diverted in this way from the natural
needs Of the helpless TO the uses of the
public. is base blood money that should
and does carry with it the curse Of
God.

THE sENAToRsHIP.

(Afton STAR Enterprise. Demo
Senator Allison this. week definitely
announced that he would be a candi-
date for the United States senate TO
succeed himself for the term beginning
March 8. 1909 With Senator Allison
and Governor Cummins definitely In
the field it is likely that the nomina-
tons may be considered closed and
the republicans of the state may as
well begin to consider which of the
two will be their choice.
4 ii is going to be battle royal and
in many ways a repetition of the, strug-
gle. for the governorship In 1906. Gov
ernor Cummins is nothing IL not. a
fighter. He has everything to gain II
he wins the fight and almost every
thing politically to lose, If he is de-
ieated.
The support which will cluster
around Iowa's aged senator will do so
for two principal reasons First, there
will be many thousands Of Iowans who
believe the senator is the most potent
factor in Washington outside the pres
ident, and that it would be extreme
folly to unhorse him in the very height
OF his influence in. the national coun-
ellis.
Then there may be mary thousands
more who will be for Allison because
he is against Cumrnins. In this crowd
may be classed the entire standpat
strength all of whom are bitterly OPP
posed to giving Cunmins anything ex-
scept six foot of ground in the polit-
ical graveyard
There is no need to manufacture is
sues. these two form ground enough
for aiwhirlwind campaign on both
sides.
If Cummins should win the machine
which he has been building up for a
dozen years in the state will be rec
ognized as the predominant faction,
and almost the entire Washington DEL
egation would feel itself in danger of
being displaced by someone whom the
Cummins people would regard as rep
resenting the people of the state
better.
At present the railroads and the COR
poration influence in Iowa is hand in
glove with the republican, party. The
railroad vote in Iowa has gone heavily
for the republican ticket ever since
Horace BOles was deIeited ZOE gov
ernor by Prank D. jackson. But it
may be put down as certainty that
if Cummins wins the senatorship in
the primary next June. the railroads
OF IOWA at least those that dabbie in
politics. will be found either sulking
in the tent, or openly fighting for the
success Of the democratic ticket, state
and national.

The trustees charged that he had been

weeks, during which time the man.

next morning the street employees went
to work as usual, but when Mr.. McEvoy
informed them that ne had been dis
charged, they all dropped what they were
doing and went on a sympathetic strike.
He claims that the reason he had kept
brisbane ON the payroll when he was not
working was to prevent him from suing
the village for damages received while at
work in the street department.

Home Investments for SAVINGS Bank,

The Waterbury Record thinks that the
plan OF having their Savings Bank de-
posits invested at home appeals to Yer
monters, and that this fact accounts
largely for the success Of the Hyde Park
Savings Bank, whose funds are ALL in
vested in Vermont. 1t says
Last Thursday, July II, was a proud
day for EX-GOv. c. s. Pages The La
noble County Savings Bank, of which
Mr.. Page is president, showed that the
banks assets had passed the million
dollar mark. 1t has been the motto of
the bank since it was started that all its
loans would be in Vermont, and today
not single dollar is loaned out of the
state. Nermonters like the plan of
having their savings invested at home
and depositors like the idea OF having a
man of Mr.. Pages business ability at the
head of the bank, thus the principal
reason why the bank is so successful.
This Bank pays per cent compounded
on deposits of 800 or more.
