THE NEBRASKA CONVENTIONS

The first State conventions to as
gemble since the recent developments
at Washington were those of the re-
publlcans and democrats of Nebraska
and their utterances may be supposed
to reflect in some degree the trend
of public opinion within the two great
political parties.
Mr.. Taft procured his endorsement
at the hands of the republicans, but
in the resolutions adopted the total
absence of any reference to reciproc-
ity is most noticeable Evidently the
Nebraska republicans are for Taft for
reasons of party expediency and not
because of any pride in his pet
achievement
The action Of the democratic con-
rent1on in failing to indorse Colonel
Bryan is the more significant when
considered in relation to the incidents
at Washington, where Speaker
Clark plan of wholesale revision ap-
pears to have been defeated in the
democratic caucus because of an ap-
parent disposition upon the part OF
the House democrats to repudiate
Bryan's leadership in the matter OF
tariff revision. If the attitude of the
democratic convention is to be ac-
cepted as test, of strength upon this
issue, the Underwood plan has not
entirely failed to commend itself tC
the representative democrats of Neb.

views of Colonel Bryan.-St. Louis

SHOULD BE SATISFACTORILY

In a statement just issued Governor
Carroll declares that the state pris
ons of Iowa should be self-support
| ing. He also announces that he i

conditions in Iowa to ascertain where
the leak is. He charges that it cos
$4,000 in the last biennial per
iod, whereas other prisons are self
lows:
"A good deal Of comment has re
Gently been made with regard to pris
on management and prison condi
tons. l think l shall be able within
a short time to give out statement
which will perhaps enable the public
to arrive at better understanding
with regard to those matters.
There are many matters per.
tanning to our prisons which l have
been investigating for some time and
with reference to which it seems to
me our people are deply concerned
One thing is the constant drain upon
the treasury. of the state for the sup
port Of the reformatory at FIT. Mad
ison. My investigation is not COM
prepared to give out a statement, but
see no reason why these institutions
should not be made self-supporting,
especially the institution at Fl. Mad-
son.
'Prisons of like character in other
states are not only self-supporting,
but prove to be a source of revenue
to the state. For instance the peni-
Tertiary at Saltwater, Mimi, turned
into the state treasury Of that state
last year more than 100000, while
our state paid out about $4,000
during the biennial period ending
June 80, 1910. in excess of the
amount received from the prisons
for labor, etc.
"At Saltwater prison labor is en-
plOyed in the manufacture of binding
twine. The question as to convict
labor competing with free labor is
one of dep interest, but it is possible
to employ our prison labor in such a
way that it need not necessarily be-
come competitive, at least so far as
labor with this commonwealth is
concerned.
l expect just as soon as this as
sessment and equalization of prop
erty is out of the way to go east with
Dr.. Bannister and Senator Wade to
look into prison management and get
additional information along the
lines of our investigation, not only
with reference to the subject above
referred to, but as to many other
matters concerning penitentiaries
and reformatOries. | shall have
more to say upon this matter a little
later on

THE RICHES OF IOWA,

Iowa lost population from 1900 to
1910. Yet from 1901 to 1911 her
banks under state jurisdiction grew
from 472 to 9S4 and their deposits
from $11 1871 614.06 to $247.147,-
1868, an increase of $135, 7,91S.-
Sc. So it appears that the states loss
in population has been contemporary
eous with it's growth in wealth. In
calling attention to these facts the
Dubuque Times-JOurnal declares that
they leave no doubt that the loss in
population should be attributed main
ly to increase in land values resulting
from the prosperity of the farmers
This has driven the young men west
in search of cheaper lands. The Du-
buque paper goes on to say:
When Mr.. Cleveland beat President
Harrison in 1892 Iowa's savings
banks held about $46,OOO,OOO of de-
posits. A year later the figure was
four million dollars less. When the
country declared for the gold stand
ard in 1896 deposits took an upward
turn and they have been increasing
for fifteen years. The total increase
divided by fifteen and then by the
population of the state does not show
a great annual gain in our per capita
wealth, but it doesn't tell the whole
story. The great gain has been in
the value of our real and personal
property. Iowa is the most prosper
Gus community of 100000 persons
In the world, taking the average con-
dltlon OF the people as the standard.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1911-08-03

Statistics show that the amount of
rain that falls upon the United States
in the course of year is equivalent
TO ten Mississippi rivers flowing con-
stantly. Otherwise measured, it
equals thirty inches of water for the
entire area, making a total volume
of 1872 900, 900 100000 cubic feet
But this is only half the amount that
would be necessary to maintain the
full productivity of the soil of the
whole country. One-third of this
amount runs down to the sea in riv-
5ers. The problem for engineers is to
utilize to the utmost the supply that
nature furnishes.

A WARNING TO PRIVILEGE.

Governor Woodrow Wilson, in the
Worlds Work: "* 1t is time
that we served notice on the men
who have grown up in the profession
of privileges and bounties, that the
existing order of things is to be
changed. 1t is only fair that We
warn them, for they should have
time to adjust themselves to the
change; but the change must come,
nevertheless. And this change is not
a revolution, let it be understood at
once. 1t is merely a restoration.
That is what the people of
New Jersey have meant as they flock
ed out, rain or shine, not to follow
the democratic party-we have stop
ped thinking about parties-to fol-
low what they now know as the dem
Ocratic idea, the idea that the people
are at last to be served.
'Do you know what the American
people are waiting for, gentlemen?
They are waiting to have their poll
tics utterly simplified. They are
realizing that our politics are full of
secret conferences, that there are
private arrangements, and they do
not understand it. They want to
concentrate their force somewhere
They are like an unorganized army
saying the thing is wrong Where
shall We congregate? How shall We
organize? Who are the captains?
Where are the orders? Which is the
direction? Where are the instru-
ments of government? That is what
they are waiting for.
e, cit is an opportunity, and it is a
terrible opportunity. Don't you know
that some man without conscience,
who did not care for the nation,
could put this country put this coun-
try into a flame? Don't you know
that the people of this country from
one end to the other all believe that
something is wrong? What an OPP
portunity it would be for some man
without conscience, but with power
to spring up and say: "This is the
way: follow me- and lead them in
paths of destruction. How terrible
it would be!'
