Nashville, Tenn.-The evils OF con-
vict labor are wildly illustrated in
report made public by a committee
appointed by the legislature to invest
igate the state prison. The disclosures
are sensational. and the many indict-
ments of conditions in this institution
are clothed in the most scathing Ian
guaee, of which the following is a
sample:
THE state of Tennessee has been
guilty of numbering those whom So
ciety has imprisoned for its protec-
tion, and the state has been guilty Of
the most merciless neglect of those
who were friendless, penniless beings,
who in many instances, placed their
lives at the mercy of the tribunals of
the commonwealth"
The committee continues:
The conditions we found have
served to arouse in us a deep sense of
condemnation of a state so powerful
for having exercised its power so
carelessly in the treatment of those
whom society has imprisoned"
The prison hospital is referred to

There is not man, woman or child
in Boise who knows Jere w. Robin
son, but who respects and esteenls
him as one of our best citizens. Quiet,
unassuming, with friendly goodwill

is known that Mr.. Robinson is a close

MAYOR ARTHUR HODGES HAS MADE GOOD

The Gem Worker is pleased that
the city election is passing off without
any undue excitement and with a
fair field and all of the candidates be-
ing treated courteously and squarely
by the press of the city. 1t is well
that this is the case and demonstrates
that the affairs of the city must have
been most efficiently administered
during the past two years. or else
there would be the usual attacks and
counter-attacks, SO common in Ameri-
can elections.
With this fact well-established il
would appear that the really sensible
thing for the electorate to do would
be to re-elect Mayor Hodges. III
fact up-to-date there has been Sc
little interest manifested that it is
perfectly evident that the present adj
ministration has given the utmost sat
isfaetion and as far as the public is
concerned the election day might pass
unnoticed. This is surely the most EN-
phatic endorsemnt of Mayor Hodges
that could be given.

more. There is plenty of work to be
done; many problems to be solved
and Boise will make no mistake in
selecting Mr.. Robinson as pilot for
the ensuing two years. In some of the
older states there is being created the
Office of city manager, man who has
charge Of all the administrative fea-
lures of the city's business. and in the
opinion of The Gem Worker the
people of Boise would gladly entrust
the management of all their municipal
affairs to Jere Robinson. If he is
acknowledged to be qualified for the
position of city manager, why not
elect him Mayor. in which position
he can do much towards following all

more advanced cities pursue. for you
can rest assured that Mr.. Robinson
will continue in office his studies of
municipal issues, with a determine

and conditions in Boise. The election

the city's affairs been exceptionally
well-managed in the past term?
Every department has been efficiently
and capably managed, and especially
is the police department of the city
which is under the Mayors personal
control now universally recognized as
the most capable and efficient in the
city's history.
1t is inevitable that a public official
shall make some personal enemies,
and that personal ambitions shall
come to the front in all elections, and
this latter fact is to be commended as
in thorough accord with the Ameri.
can spirit, but it is not customary
for the electorate to turn down
tried and trusted official merely for
the reason that his opponent is also
good and worthy man. The ele-
ment of experience and the fact that
an official has made good will ever
appeal TO the voter as the most solid
reason for continuing a faithful pub
lie servant in office. AS Mayor
Hodges has made good, there should
be no question as to his endorsement
at the polls.

THE EVILS OF CONVICT LABOR SHOWN

"A disgrace to the state and breed
ing incubator of every germ known TO
modern science"
The committee is equally vigorous
in its condemnation of the practice of
whipping prisoners--both men and
women-for alleged short amounts of
work done during the day, or what is
classed as bad work" meaning work
unsatisfactory to contractors. Rec
ords show los pfisoners with tuber-
culosis have been severely whipped" T"
The men were lashed from $50 to 200
times (the women fifty times) The
comittee states that few of the in
mates working in factories have es-
capped this punishment. Added to this
is the horrors of the insane ward, in
pne of the prisons wings, where hum
dreds of prisoners, compelled to work
at their tasks ten hours day or be
punished, are kept awake nights be-
cause of the rawlings of insane con
victs.
The committee recommends many
changes in the prison management.
Included in these is the abolishment
of corporal punishment and the es-
! tablishment of honor system.

The Gem Worker Is rcceiving the
loyal support Of the Boise Labor

court Of the United States, February
%, 1915.
A local hotel asked that the law
be held unconstitutional on the ground
that it Disseminated. The overworked
fourteenth amendment to the Federal
constitution was again called upon to
do service and Justice Mccoy was
asked to set the law aside because it
deprives employers and employees of
their property without due process
