THE ASSEMBLY CLERKS.
: lWashington County Press)

washington County Press)
A fool bill fixes thirty eight clerks
for the house and thirty for the senate.
At first they proposed one clerk for
every senator but "the old folks at
home" gave them bark from the tombs
at such rate, they cut out twenty
in the senate. But fifteen would be
a great plenty, level-headed ex-sen-
ator tells me- He said that if he were
a good stenographer and typewriter, he
wouldn't want anything better than to
be one of the fifteen to do all the
senator's necessary work in that line.
They get s21 a week. When he was
member several of the redundant clerks
of the senate did not show up at all
except on pay day. That is tuppeny
steal, a sinking little graft, a con-
temptible gouge. Any member who
voted for that squirty thing, knowing
really what he was about, should be
fired by his constituents. He doesn't
know enough to come in when it rains,
else he does not care a bit. No bust
ness man would favor finding places
at such or any pay, in a mercantile
house. and adding useless expense.
Why do people think so lightly of this
petty stealing from the state? The
state is no mere mich COW to be
tapped by every horse leech that hap
pens to get elected to Nthe legislature.
The average senator needs clerk
about as much as a sinner needs a
warming pan in tophet.

nearly two thousand bills have been
introduced by the two houses. The mat
ter of allowing each senator a clerk Is
of recent origin. 1T came about, If we
remember correctly, two years ago. At
ter the senate committed the awful
act, fight sprung in the house for the
of the troubles in the senate arises
from the custom of allowing the clerks
to occupy the settees during the morn
ing session. The seats are needed for
visitors but it Is almost impossible for
the sergeant-at-arms to lift one of the
clerks out of the seat. The trouble with
having fewer clerks Is that most of the
senator's want to do their work in the
morning. During the session and dur
ing the committee work in the after
noon 1t Is impossible for senator to
do his other work. such as correspond
ence. preparing bills, etc. Committee
clerks could be easily reached if they
were compelled to stay in the COM
mittee rooms during certain hours. AS
it is nov, they are allowed to roam and
can not be found when wanted. 1t is
no doubt but this bred the desire to
have Individual clerks.
Senator's in active business life have
good deal of work for their clerks
and we see no harm in allowing them
a clerk The thing most needed is some
rule by which the clerks can be con-
trolled and regulated. 1t would stop
"ganging' and "gossiping." In the ma
tional congress clerks are never al
lowed to gang" in legislative halls. The
committee clerks are in the committee
rooms end the members individual
clerk is in his room. The cost is not 50
terrible and we believe If the senator's
would establish some rule to govern
the clerks there would not be much
Kicking"

"a GROWING AND A NEED.

Among the many letters received in
reply to T.-R. advertisement asking a
place on farm for a young boy. one
is especially suggestive and Is
worth considering. 1t is from one OF
the solid and successful farmers OF
Hardin county, one of. those who have
earned and paid for a big farm, built
a modern residence and settled down
to enjoy the content that comes from
being able to breathe a native air on
their own grounds" He goes on to -e-
late his early experiences with poverty
when he was a helpless lad and needed
friends, barefoot and poor on the
streets of an Iowa town, his work that
met the fulfillment of industry and
economy and his entire ability to give
a young lad without friends a chance.
His only son has left the farm, against
his fathers wish, to take up tnather
course that appealed to him. However,
there is no rupture between father and
son. But this man growing old wants
boy about the place, wants to DO
something for Q boy who lacks oppor-
tunity.
1t is easy to read the longing
for his own son and his recollection of
the barefoot lad of half century ago
between the lines OF his manly and
open letterfHe Graves the companion
ship ana assistance of a boy, needs an
outlet for his own practical and kindly
impulses and is anxious to give a boy
chance" More he is able, and the lad
who made this Hardin county farmer
his friend and helper need only to be
honest, industrious and desirious of
helping himself to find himself on the
way to a farm of his own and the
knowledge to make farming a complete
success; for. this man is anxious to
teach what he learned by years of hard
toll and experience that cost the price
of that toilsome and expensive school.
Here is a good home and all that
belongs with the best opportunity
waiting some boy who is able and
willing to make good The boy is all
over Iowa. Why can't they be brought
together?
The Hardin county farmer is only
one of many; there are thousands of
such homes in the state craving for the
boys who give older men their only
opportunity to live over their lost
youth; thousands of homes whence the
sons have gone out to other fields TO
the disappointment of the father and
whence the daughters have gone to
their own homes in the way of wom-
anhood; lonely homes where affection
and hope waste themselves as the
unceasing waters of a flowing We'll.
And everywhere children lack and long
for all that is wasted; decently bred
and honestly born children who have
lost their natural protectors, widows
children to whom opportunity seems
denied and to whose support the fall
ing strength of weakness spurs itself

WARDEN. SANDERS.

Warden Sanders has received con-
siderably more than he honestly had
coming" in the way of criticism 1t APP
pears by statements that have not been
denied to the knowledge of this paper
that the wardens celebrated talk be-
fore the board Of control was incor-
rectly reported. Report was that the
warden desired to dress the convicts In
tailored clothes, shine their shoes and
generally make a pleasant place out of
penitentiary. 1t seems he didn't say
it, that what he wanted to do was to
have the men change clothes at night
and keep clean; to wear respectable
clothing and shine their shoes on Sun
dap. This has been explained to the
satisfaction Of most of the newspapers.
However a Burlington paper is still
working overtime to knock Sanders.
The fact is that Sanders is a pretty
good sort to keep. Most of us will agree
that the plan of changing clothes
nights and Sundays is calculated to
inspire prisoners with the feeling that
some manhood still remains in them
and keep alive spark Of hope. A pen
itentiary is not a summer resort; neith-
er should it be made a hell. Sanders
has got the right idea in that the en-
tire crushing out of the last spark of
human feeling is not necessarily a
process of punishment and certainly is
not a reformatory process.
Governor Carroll is not likely to per-
nit himself to be used by the interests
which are calling for the guillotine for

mand of the Burlington paper will pass
