"If the schools teach agriculture,
agriculture will become more popular
We will then have more farmers, and
naturally more production and more
valuable resources.

Ethics of FalsehoOd

A curiously interesting ques-
tion Of ethics has arisen over
the failure Of a minister to Sc
cure employment for an erring
butrepentant woman until he told
prospective employers that the
was a woman Of good character
He had often been on the point
Of getting for her the work she
needed in order to make her an
honest living and to regain the
equilibrium which had been dis
turbed by her wrongdoing. But
as soon as the minister in mis- de-
votion to the strict letter Of the
truth, admitted that the woman
had sinned. the doors Of honest
living were closed in her face.

were in a position to lend n help
ing hand refusing to run the
risk Of Contamination. un-
willing to follow the example Of
Him who said to another errins
woman: Go and sin no more" "
Now a rather lively local dis
cussion has arisen as to whether
the minister was justified under
the circumstances, or whether
anybody Is ever justified under
any circumstances, IN telling Q
lie. Perhaps few will deny that
II this minister really lied at al,
ne strained the truth IN a good
cause, and that the imposition

Farms for Prisoners

A sweeping change in the en-
ployment Of prisoners in Iowa
penitentiaries, jails and REFORM
atories has been recommended to
Gov. Carroll by the Prison CON-
mission Of the State. The COM
mission would make all prisoners
work on farms and provide in
struction for them in scientific
agriculture by instructors from
the Iowa Agricultural College.
A farm Of 1000 acres is recon-
mended as an adjunct to the Fort
Madison Penitentiary.
The idea Of the commission is
one that has found much favor
in recent years. Farm life is
healthful. and most prisoners
need outdoor employment. Prison
farms can be made profitable
without interfering by compe-
tition with free labor. The
teaching Of farm methods is
likely to turn many prisoners
from crime to future Tvs
Of usefulness. On every consid-
Grafton. thus to employ prisoners
is better than to keep them in
idleness.
II is strongly recommended by
the Iowa commission also that
the contract system Of employing
prisoners be abolished. The
contract system Is deplorable: Il
should be abolished everywhere.
II criminals are 10 be generally
reformed. they should have
kindly, thoughtful guidance and
control
