REGULATION OF PRISON MADI
GOODS.

the puDl1c.-Indlanapon news.
REGULATION OF PRISON MADE
GOODS.
Competition furnished by convict
made goods has long been a trouble
some question to deal with, and it is
constantly becoming more so as the
output of prison made good increases.
A few days ago the house Of repre-
sentatives passed a bill making con-
vict-Llade goods in interstate COM
merce subject to the same laws that
apply to the goods made by convicts
in the state into which they are ship
ped This evidently is a step in the
right direction, and provides a form
of regulation which cannot reason
ably be objected to. But there are
other phases of the question which
them is importation of convict-made
goods from foreign countries. A bill
10 entirely forbid such impOrtations
is before congress at the present time,
and supporters of this measure are
encouraged to hope for the early pas
sage, in<view of the action already
taken to regulate shipments OF con-
vict-made goods from one state to an
other
1t is pointed out, however, that a
law TO prohibit foreign convict-made
goods from entering this country
would require an Appropriation Dy the
federal government for it's enforce
ment. whereas the bill passed by the
house is merely a surrender by con-
gresS of it's control Of interstate com
merce, so far as convict-made goods
are concerned. While the language
was different from that of the Webb
bill governing the shipping of alcO
holic liquors, in that it did not make
! the goods subject to any law that
might be enacted by the state into
which they are shipped, there is still
some doubt to its constitutionality.
Some argue that it is virtually a dele
CATION of power by congress.
The fight against the sale of con-
victmade goods in competition with
merchandise produced 10y free labor
has been long and active. But much
of this opposition TO conyict-made
GOODS is based on the conditions un-
/ der which the conVicts are employed.
! When cOnvicts are farmed out TO con
tractors Is they are in many states
and receive not even enough money
10 pay for their beard. the opposition
/ is justiha BILE But If the system should
/ be changed so as 10 allow an adequate
compensation. the excess above the

THE FLUBDUB OVER THE CANAL.

If the British lion has a strong APP
petite he may not be cloyed by the
too sugary speeches Of Ambassador
Page. Likewise if the American peo-
pie have a strong appetite they may
not be cloyed by the hot stuff from
Mr. Pages critics. Great IS world pol
itics with IS alternative doses of sweet
palaver and mock heroics.
OF course Mr.. Page ought to have
enough not to give an excuse for the
mock heroics, but equally of course
surrender of the American people TO
the British lion is fiction done over
III sort of slapstick melodrama.
Upon a fair Interpretation of treai IS
we may we'll refuse the toll exemptions
to American ships that use the Pan
anna canal and so cultivate the good
will of other nations. But suppose no
international question were involved
There would still be a domestic ques-
ton and also an appetite far more
troublesome than that of the British
lion for Pages sugar and decidedly
real as cOntrasted with the fiction of
mock herOics. Suggesting technical
shift of ground on our part the Oak
land Tribune, a free coils paper, says:
I'VE might repeal the exemption act,
collect tolls from American ships as
from other ships, and then return the
tolls in the shape of subsidies"
This leaves little of the mock heroics
but gives us an Ineligible financial
basis for exalted patriotism. Do the
American people who have paid for
the canal desire to subsidize large
ship-owning corporations with or
without the curious pretenSe of a
noble defiance Of the British lion -

sTREET CAR ARBITRATION.

The process by which the recent
street car strike was adjusted cOntem-
plated a permanent method Of dis
posing of questions that might arise
after the main issues were settled. No
such method has yet been agreed on
An arbitration board was provided for,
hut the Judges who were asked to
name the members of it declined to
serve. The failure of the public SER
vice commission 10 obtain perma-
nent board in its first attempt should
rot terminate its efforts in this direc-
ton. Grievances have been voiced and
the men are complaining that there is
no way TO adjust them on appeal.
The merits Of controversies should
be passed on by a just tribunal, EN
parte testimony can not be accepted
by the public. nor would the men or
the. company expect 1t. The men nave
said that they are willing 90 submit
their differences to an al oitration
board constituted in the usual form
The company should accede TO this or
propose something better. If the
company should not agree upon a
method. the commission should feel
itself authorized and willing 10 hnd
a way. The first appointing board
that was suggested having declined to
act the commission would certainly
be warranted in naming another or in
forcing both parties TO an agreement
as 10 how questions that have been
raised shall be arbitrated
The commission has acted in this
matter not only for the street car COM
pany and its employees but for the
public. and the public Il certainly
ueeply concerned. The commission Is
therefore, in position TO represent ev-
cry interest. The issues that have
been raised are certainly susceptible
OF adjustment AZ the hands OF an i'm
partial court. One should be created
without unnecessary delay. II is not in

About half of our pool has been

has been delivered. Had it rot
been for the tobacco being so
high the crop could have been

meet in the locals as early as

that we may have a prosperous
year in 1914.

High Cesi CT Dying.

We have heard much of late OF
The high cost cf li,iog. The agita-
Iion is timely, and no doubt will re-
suit in much good. And while the
more or less related questions of the
high cost of dying may not be OF
equal importance, We are persuaded
that it is entI,ed to serious consld-
Grafton.
1t appears ihat We have fallen mp
on The time when from the hlsh
cost ot living, and The cost OF high
living; the hospital bills and post
mortcm obsequies, the average man
can hardly aftnrd to live or die.
The only apparent release from this
dilemma Is suspended animation
aud sub CONSCIOUS existence.
But, seriously, ,ae foolsh and TN
necessary eXpence of the modern
funeral is becoming more and more
an embarrassing question. We
have known OF no! few instances
N which the amount spent ioT faa-
erel expenses represented sacrifice
and suffering for the living. In
many cases those who must NEE,
the funeral expenses out OF their
medgre income tUi,y realize that
they mast Conf0rm 10 The established
custom IN tbs connection. The
money that IS speu, iof the eNpea-
siye casket and fpral designs would
go long way IN feeding the widow
and her fAtheriess children. Flow
ers will not cio,hc the naked, nor
feed the hungry.
Certainly, there can be no good
reason, regardless of the estate Of
the dead or the wealth of the living,
for 4 lavi2h expenditure upon our
dead. Such ostentation Is contrary
to the simplicity of the Christian re
ligi0n, to say nothing of establish
ing precedent that those who are
unable 10, will feel constrained to
follow. In this regard the minister
may render a real service. Western
