Delay Due to Contractors.


With 500 idle prisoners at the pen
200 in the idle house" and 300
locked in their cells - awaiting the
complete evacuation of the machinery
of the Columbus Bolt Works and the
e. B. Lanman Co. from the prison
shops, so that they may be placed at
work razing the buildings and max
ing arrangements for the construction
of shops to be used for state work,
the contractors are making no hur.
ried effort to take their equipment
from the institution. There were but
63 prisoners dismantling machinery.
The monotony of the daily idleness
is being somewhat relieved at pres
ent by drills about the prison yard.
Twice daily the prisoners are drilled
half hour. This is all the exercise
the idle prisoners get.
There are II shops at the pen al
most choked up with machinery and
material of the contractors. With
about six men employed in each shop
preparing the machinery for transfer,
and but two one-horse wagons carry
ing it away. That the dilatory prog
ress of the contractors in removing
their equipment is based on hopes of
remaining at the pen until the next
session Of the legislature, when they
will make strenuous efforts to have
the Wertz law, abolishing contract
labor, repealed, is the common impress
sion among guards at the pen.
Engineer Youngblood, who has been
paying close attention to contract af.
fairs at the prison, said that he would
commence tearing down the prison
shops Immediately if so authorized by
the board.

An Ohio farmer is solving the prob.
lem of what to do with wornout
farm in this interesting manner: He
owns an old homestead of 60 acres,
which he is desirous of keeping in the
family. He does not live on the
place, however, for the reason that
farming on it has of late years been
decidedly losing proposition. He
has, therefore, decided to plant the
entire tract in trees. Already $4,000
Norway spruce have been set out, 31s
feet apart each way, on an area Of
about II acres. The trees will be
cut, as they become large enough,
for Christmas trees. Chestnut seed.
lings will be planted in the space left
by the removal of the spruce, and it
is expected that these will come into
bearing by the time the last spruce is
cut. In addition to the spruce, hardy
catalpa, black locust, elm, box elder
and sycamore have been planted. 1t
is planned to put the entire 60 acres
in forest within FIVE or six years.

Heard on the Waterfront

Some ancient mariners were sitting
in a seaport tavern relating their ex-
periences of fogs.
"Ah!" said one old salt, I've seen
some pretty thick fogs in my time.
Why, of the coast Of Newfoundland the
fog was sometimes so thick that We
used to sit on the deck rail and lean
against It! We were sitting one night
as usual, with our backs to the fog,
when suddenly the fog lifted. and we
all went flop into the sea- A bit thick,
wasn't it?"-San Francisco Chronicle.

The Worms Way.


"The Hon. Stephen Coleridge, the
English anti-vivisectionist," said an
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of Philadelphia, rs
delighted with the recent English vivi-
section report, which promises to
abolish even the use of the live bait in
fishing.
"Mr. Coleridge once argued here in
Philadelphia about the cruelty of fish
ing with worms.
"'Oh,' his opponent said, the mere
fact that worm writhes and wriggles
when impaled on a hook is no proof
that it is actually suffering pain
No, oh, MOI said Mr.. Coleridge,
sarcastically. Beyond doubt that is
just the worms way of laughing at
being tickled.'"

1t is question, too, just what the

three representatives in Congress,
from the state most prominent in
their opposition to Rooseveltism, and
most influential in the party's nation

large majorities. Mr.. Cannon, Mr.:

The attraction to be seen at the

be Joseph M. Weber's splendid pro-
duction of Alma. Where Do You
Live?" which played for a full season
at Weber's theatre. New York, and
was one of the most distinctive hits
Of the past season. Alma" may be
described as neither farce nor bur-
lesque, nor yet wholly musical COM
edy, but something Of all three Of
these. Originally French musical
play, it was given for long time in
Paris and was first seen in America
in the German, having been trans
lated into that language, where it was
PLAYED for nearly season before be-
ing secured by Joseph NJ Weber for
use at his theatre.
There are fourteen numbers in the
score and the music is particularly
attractive, especially the number
Alma, Where Do You Live?" which
has proved decidedly catching and is
one of those pieces of music that sends
the audience away from the theater
whistling the air. The company Is
headed by Miss Nannette Flack, while
other important members of the cast
are Charles A. Murray. the we'll
known comedian, and Aubrey Yates.
A splendid scenic production has been
provided and Alma will prove one
of the most attractive features of the
season at the Bijou tneater Saturday,

NEW YORK.

There can be no doubt about where
New York will stand at Chicago, says
an eastern writer Her delegates,
with few exceptions, are pledged to
Mr.. Taft. and are not men OF unstable
Or emotional natures. The big four
are thoroughly representative of the
states republicanism, and Mr. Root,
who heads the quartet is the leader
of commanding national Influence.
Mr.. Roosevelt regards him as the best
qualified man for public business he
has ever met in public life. With
him as chairman of the delegation,
New York in the national convention
should count in all things for her full
value.
The platform is we'll considered
expression of recognized republican
principles. 1t declares for protection,
for rigid provision against monopoly,
and for currency reform safeguarded
against any central control BY money
power. As the state is largely in
terested in manufacturing, is the
seat of many trust organizations and
her metropolis is the financial capt.
tai of the western hemisphere, such
a delivereance on those three issues
carries great weight.
AS to the new issues, which are not
republican, but populistic, the express
sion is equally forcible The initia-
tive and referendum and the recall,
are condemned as unwise and unde-
sireable, and the recall is described
as device for breaking down the
courts. This thrust at Mr.. Roose'
velt's new platform shows how far
out of line he is with his party at
home today
The value of New York at Chicago
will be great, but later, in the contest
for control between the two parties,
it will be infinitely greater. Should
Mr.. Roosevelt be nominated at Chi
cago upon a platform carrying his
present contentious, republican sue
cess in the state would be rendered
impossible. At Baltimore the demo
cratic leaders would be justified in
writing New York's name on the list
of their certainties. A party which
should so revolutionize itself in its
