Owing to so much rain the
farmers are getting very badly
behind with their work. What
we need is plenty of sunshine
just now.
It's not too late to plant
spring oats. The farmer that is
thoughtful enough to plant a
few bushels of spring oats is the
man that will be all O. K. at
harvest time.

Death of Phillip Reilly.

Phillip Reilly, a carpenter about
50 years Of age, who has been a
resident of this city since it's in
ception, died quite suddenly at his
home in the east part Of town
Monday afternoon. Mr.. Reilly had
been confined to his quarters for
four or five days prior to his
death, and it is thought that his
allment was pneumonia, though he
was not apparently seriously i'll.
Deceased was an unmarried man,
OF a somewhat eccentric DISPOSE
tiOn and lived the life of hermit.
AS far as is known he had only
two immediate relatives one bro
ther in Canada and another in
Montana. 1t was impossible to
reach them by telegraph in time
to make any arrangements for the
disposition of his remains, so bur-
ial took place in the Mob. idge
cemetery and his brothers will be
notified, in order that they can
make removal of the remains if
they wish to do so.

MUST REGISTER AT
CITY ELECTIONS
Hereafter Voters Must REGISTER for
City Elections Same as for
State Elections.

Hereafter registration OF voters
will be necessary in this state at
all elections held in cities and in
corpOrated towns, the same rs has
been required heretofore at state
elections. In cities the board of
registration consists of the mayor.
auditor and treasurer. In cities OF
the first and second class a separ-
ate board may be appointed for
each voting precinct. In towns
and villages the board consists of
the chairman of the board Of trus-
tees, clerk and auditor
The law provides that the regis
tration board shall meet on Tues
day two weeks preceding any an
nual city or town election. at the
us:;al place of meeting of the city
council at the hour of 9 O'Clock
and continue in session until
0 clock.
The manner OF correcting the
list, adding names thereto and
striking names therefrom is much
the same as under the law for state
elections. Voters who are not reg
lstered may vote at the elections
by submitting an affidavit as to
residence and qualifications, such
affidavit to be cOrroborated by two
registered electors.
e. Anotner provision of the law is
that at sucn elections the poll
books must show the residence of
the voter by street and number,
and must also show if the voter
was not registered prior to voting
In this city it is likely that the
mayor, auditor and treasurer will
act as registration board for the
entire city and that this board will
meet at the city hall on Tuesday,
April 2nd.

Treatment Accorded lncarcerated Men i
Disgrace to Our Twentieth Century
Civilization.

Hartford. Conn.-The merciless speed
ing up of the convicts in the state prison
of Connecticut and in several of the
county jails has aroused a storm of in
dtgnation and horror. The two contract
ing corporations whose demands have
forced the prison officials to resort to
physical punishment in order to get the
maximum output-The Ford Johnson Co
and the Reliance Mfg. Co., manufactur-
ing chairs and shirts, respectively, have
been severely condemned at a meeting
of the Hartford Get-Together club few
days ago. Said prominent social
worker: The physical punishment of
the convict by the contractor who has
leased him for industrial purposes, is a
disgrace to the community which toler-
ates its continuance, yet the citizens of
Connecticut stand meekly by and let
political boss remark: We'll, what in
hi are you going TO do about it?' The
contract system is discredited univer-
sally, but in no other state in the Union
has it sunk to as low an ebb as in Con-
necticut. Were it an advantage TO the
citizens of the state as whole or to the
taxpayers there might be justification in
the eyes of some. but even here it falls
short. The New Haven Jail seeks to
get work out of its convicts, not by CIV
ing them the incentive of a wage, but by
physical punishment At the state prison
at Wethersfield the men work on shirts
and shoes; few are trained TO earn their
livelihood when released. The institu-
ton is a heavy drain on the taxpayers
under the contract system; it yields i'm
mense profits to the giant corporation,
the Reliance Mfg. Co., the well known
prison labor trust. Since the installa-
tion of the contract system, the institu-
ton has never gotten back to its orig
inal basis of educational work for the
prisoner and self-support for itself"
Warden Ward c. Garner of the state
prison was invited by the club, which in
cludes the most prominent professional,
business and labor people among its
members, to state his side of the case,
but he failed to show up at the meeting.

but the emmy of society. His assump-
ton is that as the days go society will
become more helpless in his hands; the
fact is that after the first two or three
days, society will begin to organize it
as the individual is moved by the will
to live. The fact is, that the assumption
of progressive paralysis is false. So
ciety will at once take steps to recover
command of itself. 1t will not yield to
the general strike; it will resist it. On
the day of his first triumph, when he de-
clares his strike, the syndicalist signs
his own death warrant and puts the
moose about his own neck. The new
revolution which syndicalism and its ad-
vocates of the Industrial Workers of the
World contemplate has avoided none of
the errors and pitfalls of the old, but it
has added to them whole series of its
own. 1t is a mere escapade of the
nursery mind. 1t is the product of the
creative intelligence of the man who is
impatient because it takes the earth "a
hours to wheel round. Wherever syndi-
calism has raised its Caliban head, it
has declared war on political industrial
ism. The hospitality which the Socialist
movement has offered so generously to
all kinds of cranks and scoundrels be-
cause they professed to be in revolt
against the existing order has already
done our movement mucn harm. Let it
not add syndicalism to the already too
numerous vipers which, in the kindness
of its heart. it is warming on its hearth

Chairman of British Labor Party Severe
ly critieises Policy Advocated by
Syndicaiists.

In the October number of the Social
list Review. ]. Ramsay Mcdonald. chair
man of the English labor party, says:
LET us suppose that the strike is sue
ceeding The authorities will try TO
break 1t. and that will lead to the en-
ployment of force. Troops will be mob
iiized. So the syndicalist cannot avoid
his revolution even if he tried. The old
revolutionist knew his business, faced
the facts. laid his plans; the new revo-
lutionist does none of these necessary
things Let us assume that the trans
port services are held up. that the mar
kets and shops are closed. that the
workshops are deserted. What follows? ?
The syndicalists make the fatal mistake
of calculating that time will be on their
side Exactly the opposite. Time will
work against them. However complete
the general strike is to be, 1t is only to
affect, even to begin with, majority.
There will be minority holding the
same opinions as were expressed by the
suburban dwellers during the recent rail-
way troubles. They will represent the
resistance which society must always
offer to sudden change. Then there will
be great number of men who will be-
come unemployed without in any way
sympathizing with the strike or its pur-
poses. The striker. every day that
passes. becomes. in the eyes OF an in
creasing number of people, not the savior
