was proposed for Iowa at the last ses-
sion OF the general assembly. There are
signs that prison reform II coming to
that solution in this state. In view OF
this prospect it would seem that Iowa
might study with profit the Swiss farm.
The success which this institution
has had is promising. What better
training could an agricultural state like
Iowa give her prisoners tran one which
would make them self-Yeliant and re-
sourceful farm laborers? The ease with
which the board Of parole Is at present
placing paroled Observation-Disclosures
men-on the farms at good wages
guarantees that there would be work
for the trained agricuiturists to do
when they were released from the state
farm.
Sending these men back to freedom
the freedom of the open country, Of the
air, the sunlight and the soil, there
would be much greater pre- mise Of their
permanent redemption. Iowa should
think seriously of the prison farm idea.

and tell the official that is your age.
Thus it seems TO be established as a
legal maxim in Chicago that woman

note the experience Of Massachusetts in

Nine one hunfredths Of 1 cent upon

duct was found to be what the con-
sumner paid as his share Of taking care

6ered that workmen's compensation Is

So far. however. the voting machine
has not made much Roadway. First,
those machines are being held At
exorbitant prices based much upon tho
anxiety for huge profits and more upon
the theory that cost 10 the public 10
and ought to be double what the same
cost is to private concerns and In
dividuals. Also the machines have not
as yet demonstrated their infallibility.
Such machine must be practically
fool proof. 1t mustn't break down be-
cause Of inability to do The work or
thru the willingness Of an election
board that sees things going the wrong
way. 1t must be honest and keep every
one else honest or give inoisputable
evidence of the tamperings of dishon-
esty. And that is considerable of
contract.
The public will welcome a practical
voting machine and be entirely willing
to pay fair price for 1t.
Indeed the greed Of the manufac-
turers has kept the machines back
even more than the failure of certain
machines and ne squabb!es that have
arisen succeeding their use in certain
elections. When the manufacturers
make practical voting machine and
put It on the market at fair price in
stead of paying legisla tive committee
men $50 a trip who know practically
nothing about machinery and who

ENFORCING LAW.

To our mind ii has always been ma

when the mulct law was absolutely ig-
nored and ridiculed in the river cities.

itation the stigma of an ignored article
