It is not generally known, but it is
nevertheless fact that convicts in the
Ohio penitentiary earn as high as $50
or $50 a month for themselves working
overtime. They have certain task to
perform in eight hours, and all work
they get out above their tasks is cred
tied to them. In the bolt shop alone
more than two hundred men divide
every month 5000 for work accomplish
ed in overtime. The convicts are not
allowed to work more than eight hours

nearly $50 every month running what
is called a perfect mill. large num-

EVIDENCE FROM THE OTHER SIDE.

The advertising manager for one OF
the big stores" OF Chicago came TO
Marshalltown last evening, and told q
body of representative merchants how
he advertises u retail store. Among
other things of value he told them
something the Times Republican has
been urging on all Iowa merchants for
years, that the only way to fight the
house methods. They must buy on the
cheapest market sell at the closest
margin and above all let the purchasing
public know what they have to sell,
how they sell it and for how much.
The secret of the big retail stores I"

They argue with him. The pictured
catalog lies ready to his hand 1t sug-
gests thousand things he could use,
hundreds of articles he wants and doZ-
and promises. And it gets the money.
Why not? Why shouldn't it?
Why doesn't the Iowa merchant who
is grumbling over the inroads of the
catalog house get busy? 1t is a hard
but business has long
ceased to be child's play. The hardest
will always be that of the
man who doesn't try.
Aside from the large purchasing
power of the catalog house the home
has the best of it. The
sources of publicity are wider open to
him than to his Chicago competitor. He

IuwA OPINIONS AND NOTES

THAT proposed multiplying law is
another joke" asserts the Hampton
Chronicle. Such a law would be all
right of course, but there are a few
laws that would not stand water and
the anti-tipping law is one of them.
The people have a few rights yet that
even the interstate commerce commits
sion can't rule away. What the people
want is less fool legislation and the en-
forcement of the good laws that we all
ready have"
The Iowa Falls Citizen thinks zone
trouble with school legislation seems to
be the viewpoints of the forces in OPP
GRAFTON. The state teachers associa-
ton, made up largely of people who
are poorly versed at best in the practi-
cal or outside worlds point of view,
are striving to make laws, rules, and
regulations for the taxpayers and
patrons of the schools. Then there is
the other side, perhaps equally poorly
versed in practical school work, striv-
ing to make laws, rules, and regula-
lions for the teachers and pupils. There
is need of broader vision from both
sides There is need of an averaging
of opinions
