An OLD FASHIONED CAMPAIGN LIE.

That the supporters Of Mr.. Connolly
are ready to srasp any straw OF politi-
cal advantage was made evident by the
use TO which Senator Kenyon's kindly
letter was put. kenyon had written
to Connolly q kindly personal letter OF
sonally friendly to Connolly AS an in
dividual. That was all there was to 1t.
The assurance of kindly personal feel
ing was seized upon and proclaimed
as split between Cummins and Ken
yon, a boost for the Connolly candi-
dacy and as containing everything but
a pledge 10 support Connolly in the
election. Those who know the situ-
alton understood Immediately and
when the story was brought TO Sena-
tor kenyon attention yesterday he
unqualiiediy denounced II as utterly
false. The senator VIII be in the har-
ness for Cummins this fall. is for
Cummins all the while and there is no
split between Cumm!ns and kenyon
II was mighty poor politics and will
recon upon Connolly from several
angles. If Connolly knew of the twisted
attempt to create political capital out
of the use Of kenyon's decent and
kindly denial Of personal enmity he
took bad advice from worse advisers.
Candidates for United States senator
may not make use OF ward heller
tricks and get away unscathed by pub
lie opinion.
Altogether it didn't amount TO muc,
I. vss merely campaign lie of the old
fashion and was nailed Immediately. If
anybody lost by 1t the candidate N
whose interests the faisehood was cir
cula.ed IS loser. And as he was done
for the day ne was nominated II doesn't
matter much one way or another.

union Sunday school picnic at the
city park at Iowa City last Saturday
has encouraged friends Of the move
ment 20 believe that an annual gath
erng Of this kind should in time
draw an attendance Of 5000 people in
the county.
And why rot? It may be that there
are not 5000 enrolled in the Sunday
schools Of the county. But many peo-
pie attend Sunday school picnics who
are at the best but honorary members
OF the organizations throughout the
year 1t Is something like the increase
in attendance just before Christmas.

appears to be no reason why this
county should not have one of the
greatest Sunday school rallies in the
state every year. All roads lead to
Iowa City, the city park Of eighty
acres is one of the most beautiful and

PRISON CITY LABOR.
lIowa City Republican.


The Republican sympathiZes with
every proper effort in the line of CIV
ing prisoners out door remunerauve
employment Two things enter into
argument in favor of this. First II
is Justice financially and physically
for the prisoners. Second. 1t Is Justice
for the free workingnen who can not
compete with cheap prison labor. Ii
the case of the Fort Madison contro-
yersy working the prisoners within the
city OF Fort Madison complies with
the first and is opposed 10 the second.
We assume it is not SO much what mas
been done in the way OF prison employ
ment as the possibilities that STIR Fort
Madison people. There are soniethiiis
like 500 men in the prison.
The state Is moving to ABANDON
inside contract labor. This makes 1t
necessary 10 give the men work else
where The state has done nothing IN
the way OF permanent outside employ
ment. This brings to the people OK
Fort Madison the possibility OF having
several hundred men offered them in
competition with free labor. 1t does not
affect the men in the factories or shops.
but Il does affect many who live by day
labor. Women pick cherries. and they
find men from the prison picking them
for money or on shares. The women
have lost their work.
old men and boys NOW lawns, cut
weeds make gardens. care for barns
and furnaces. Prisoners are doing
that kind OF work and many men
and boys have lost their work. Con-
tractors employ common labor In
building, in digging and laying sewers,
in paving. and free labor gets consid-
cradle in that way. These men are III
danger of losing their work.
The Republican can see the posi-
bilities of the situation. 1t is not
criticising the warden. for he has to
look after his part in the contest
The best way to judge this proposition
is to put ones self into the place of the
cherry pickers, the grass and weed
cutters, the street cleaners. the work
ers on contracts and then ask how we
would feel.
