izing that the penalty if recaptured,
and they almost invariably are, means
the remainder of life spent behind pri
son walls, attempts are comparatively
infreduent The convict camp consists
of a sufficient number of tents and
only five officers are in charge. The
men sleep in one large tent, work eight
hours a day, divided into five gangs,
and go to bed at o'clock at night.
Amusement of various kinds is allowed,
among which is a ball game nearly
every evening.
In Washington the convicts are more
strictly guarded but have the same
amusement privileges. That state
provided for convict labor on the high
ways in 1907. A point for making the
first experiment was very remote from
the penitentiary. making the test as
severe as possible. The contract called
for the building of wagon road along
the face of a rocky bluff almost per-
pendicuar, the work necesshating the
handling of large amounts of dyna-
mite. Altho the rock was extremely
hard each man made a daily average
of 242 cubic yards of solid rock and
one cubic foot of earth. and loose rock
moved. The lowest bid for this work
was s150 per cubic yard for solid rock
and 40 cents for loose rock and earth,
work was S4.03 in value.
Judge Penn, of the probate court in
Etowah county, Alabama, gives some
interesting statistics on coal labor by
convicts in that state. These convicts
could have been hired out, to mining
contractors for $40 per month each,
but it is said that the benefit to the
convicts iss sufficient to justify con-
tinuing them at work, if for nc other
reason. Only prisoners convicted Of
misdemeanors and sentenced for not
longer than two years for a single
desperate criminals, are employed on
the highways. Forty convicts are be-
ing used and the cost of grading there
is not over $3.50 a month. The equip
ment comprises sixteen mule teams,
graders scrapers and other tools. Cars
built for the purpose are used for
housing the men and transporting
them to different parts of the stare.
All equipment, including barns and
blacksmith shop, are carried with the
gang On one mile stretch Of road
1852 wagon loads of ground and rock
were placed, costing $685., including ce-
ment culverts. 1T is claimed that it
would have cost anybody else $500 at
least to have done this work.
Road building in Georgia by con-
Wet labor was a result of overthrowing
the convict system, which became such
a source of abuse by contractors that
the legislature abolished it.
The crushing of stone inside prison
walls by convicts, for road making is
a PRACTICAL method of using, prison
labor, but more effective and more
beneficient to the prisoners themselves
is a system that puts them out upon
the highways. Why don't we utilize
Iowa conyicts and Iowa quarries?

sleep, while those awaiting trains were
obliged to remain standing or seat
themselves in dirt and filth.
1t is unjust to the travelling public
and disgrace 10 the company ana

and give the janitor a better concep-
ton of his duties.

Topics of the Times.

The Gilman Dispatch, already one of
good country weeklies in smaller Iowa
towns appears in a brand new Easter
dress of new type.
The thresherman wants to know why
his three-mile an hour outfit should be
preceded by a Waterman 10 yards
ahead while the automobilist dashes
along the highway at a speed cftwenty
miles an hour. He has some reason in
his asking and gas right to know.
The weather man remembered the
coal dealer after all.
After those we have been reading for
the past seven years Taft's message
was shockingly short. However it said
all it was intended to do. 1.-THE imper-
alive necessity" is revision of the tar

ises That is what the special session
is for and that is what the message
said.
Good idea that of making convicts
and iail birds earn a dollar day and
support their families. Make them
crush rock in the winter and do road
work in the summer. Thus they would
serve a good purpose and not Interfere

The Cedar Rapids Republican is

are on the right track and entitled to

However the senator will likely agree
that there has been some lifting of one

Meantime, what is to b., done? Here
again there seems to be only one ans
wer. Until all the nations of the earth
come to the conclusion that such riv-

SHOULDN'T GET RuFFLED.

Davenport Democrat
The newspaper men OF the national
capital are complaining that they do
not receive the glad hand they ex-
pected would be extended toward them
from the White House During all his
public life President Taft has carried
something more than friendly smile
for the newspaper boys The chances
are they have been temporarily
crowded out by the crush of office
seekers. The correspondents are sure
to receive a square deal when matters
become adjusted. For the time being
little confusion ought to be overlooked.

WHY EGGS ARE HIGH.
TIowa Falls Citizenl


There has been much complaint re-
garding the high price of eggs. If
there be any good souls who are scent
ing an egg trust they may es well give
up the search and start our on a track
of some other combination There is no
egg trust The fact is that the hen is
not able to keep up with the demand.
True, the scientific poultry man has
been keeping busy, or rather he has
taught the hens to keep busy. And to-
day the good hen produces many times
the number of eggs that were laid by
her ancestors in the days when Iowa
was still out on the edge of civilization.
But even the very busy twentieth CEN
fury hen is unable to supply the null
titudes who are elamoring for hen
fruit

OLD AGE PENSIONS.

An old age pension system would be
out of place in q country 10 which the
immigration now exceeds one million
annually. If we had it European ma
tions would ship ti,~ir paupers to us.
One aim of our system of popular edu-
cation is to avoid old age pensions ex-
cept as the same may be rewarded for
long and faithful service by the gov
eminent or the private employer. A
system that would remove the prem
ium on industry and thrift is not to
be considered except in the presence
of obvious necessity.

1t begins to look as tho the present
general assembly in Iowa would have
to rest its chief claim for recognition
from a grateful people rather more
largely in what it has refused to do
than in what it has done. And that is
a trust to be guarded with fidelity as
great and regard as strong as in the
field of activity where there must be
positiveness. Truly a Legislature can be
remembered as gratefully for the bad
bills put beyond the power for harm as
for the good bills made into law.
