and YOU can imagine my surprise and
delight when found that I could cat

told me to take several small portions
each day. because he feared | would

the Attorney General
In His Address.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Nov. 2B.-
The purchase Of additional ground
for the Fort Madison prison would be
worse than doing nothing at all to-
ward prison reform in the state.
George Cosson, attorney general, de-
clared In speech before the Iowa
state conference OF charities and cor
rection. in session here. It Is
understood that Governor B. F. Car
roll will make such recommendation
to the legislature this winter. Mr..
Cosson, however, did not make refer
ence to the governor in his speech.
Mr.. Cosson advocated the purchase
Of farm accessible from Des Moines
and Ames to be used as a prison
farm. He urged change in the 1ail
system of the state and colonies for
delinquent and defective women.
The attorney general was asked to
talk on prison labor. For the most
part his speech was along the line Of
the report of the prison probe com
mission OF which he was Chairman.
Mr.. Cosson fled the report with the
governor last spring.
Location Is Undesirable.
The speaker declared that the Fort
Madison prison should be abandoned.
In speaking OF this prison and the
recommendation Governor Carroll
probably will make, he said.
Because of the peculiar location of
Fort Madison today the supplies for
the institution are largely purchased
IN the state Of Illinois, without the
Iowa producer having an opportunity
OF even competing. Not ton Of Iowa
coal is used at Fort Madison. This,
Of course. is true entirely because OF
the freight rate in view of the loca.
ton. What is true Of coal is true OF
many other supplies.
''If the Milwaukee RAILWAY com
pany can abandon part OF its line
IN the state of Iowa in order to
straighten its track and reduce us
grade, surely the location OF one OF
our great institutions, which practic.
ally excludes the Iowa producer end
jobber from having an opportunity to
furnish any supplies, and the exces.
sive cost of operation by reason of the
difficulty of access, is a matter which
Should receive very serious considera
tion by the general assembly.
The institution at Fort Madison
by reason OF its unfavorable location
has been condemned by legislative
committees, by the board of control
and it is a subject of common remark
that no worse location possibly could
have been found either in this state
or any other for a penal institution
Crime Against Unfortunates.
In view of this fact it would be q
crime against the thousands of unfor
tunates who will yet find their way
into our penal institutions to attempt
to enlarge the institution at Fort Mad
ison by the purchase OF additional
ground and it will likewise be crime
against the state of Iowa to attempt
to enlarge the grounds at Fort Madi
