within the incorporated limits OF
Fort Madison will raise an interesting
question for the courts, says the Des
Moines Tribune.
Fort Madison has adopted an ordi-
nance forbidding the employment OF
men from the prison within the city
limits. This ordinance the state
board of control has ordered the war
den to pay no attention to. Aside
from the legal phase of the matter
there can be but one opinion among
those who know anything OF what
Warden Sanders has been doing to
encourage the men of the prison to
become trustworthy workers, Wis
men have done an enormous amount
of work that otherwise would have
not been done, have earned a large
sum for the prison, and have become
themselves the guardians OF peace
and good order that they might enjov
the opportunity.
