Prison Labor Opposed
By the Tax Payers

Fairmont, w. VAN. A. Joliff of
this county has started court pro-
ceedings to annul a prison labor con-
tract between the state board of con-
troll and Isadore Gordon of the Cor
don shirt company. Joliff says the
contract was made in secret and COM
pensation the state is to receive is
at least So cents day less for each
convict that is paid in other states.
This is declared to be "shockingly in
adequate"
Convict labor opponents charge that
West Virginia politicians are linked
up with prison labor exploiters, and
the secrecy with which the Gordon
contract was entered into strengthens
their claim.

FUTURE FARM CONVENIENCES

VIM. A. Baehr, vice president and
general manager of the Illinois power
and light corporation of Chicago, in
discussing the identification of Amer
lean farms and the problems involved
in getting cheap power to thinly SCI,
tied rural district, said:
There is no question that the
farmer, when supplied with electric
power and instructed how to use it,
will use more of it than the ordinary
family or small business in the city.
He will not only use it in his home
for lighting purposes percolator,
toaster, vacuum cleaner, washer and
kitchen range, but will light his barns
barnyard, run his water pump, saw
mill, feed grinders, milking machine
and churn.
"In the field of electric uses, po-
tentially, he is a heavy consumer of
electric power But he and his neigh
bors are widely separated, especially
in the agricultural sections west of
the Mississippi river, in the northwest
and the far southwest, making it ex-
pensive to reach him.
Farm identification is not tbs
idea of dreamers and in time we shall
see farms lighted, their machinery
turned by purring motor supplied
with power from transmission lines.
Yes land country roads, too, will soma
time be lighted up at night"

bands advantage and political advan-
cement. Mrs. Pinchot does appear IN
public and makes innumerable speech
es to womens organizations; but she
is not particularly partisan. That Is
she is as likely to speak to the
League of Women Voters and even
to Democratic women if they ask her
as she is to Republican women.
Mrs. Mccormick, on the other hand
believes every woman ought to be
Republican first last and always and
works on that theory. In other words
she is coercive and aggressive, hav-
ing little patience with women who
do not agree with her. For instance,
she openly believes that such organ
izations as the League of Women Vo-
tiers are an evil influence which ought
to be stamped out. Instead of CO
operating with that body, she has
fought them.
So it can be questioned whether a
woman can help her husband by Oh
ganizing women in his favor. But
personality, too, has something to do
with it. Mrs. Mccormick is a
different woman at women's meetings
than she is in her own salon. AS q
hostess, she is gracious and charm
ing, dressed irreproachably in most
feminine clothes, with positive tai
ent for drawing people not only from
resident and official society, but from
the artistic and literary set to hel
drawing room. But the moment she
gets up to speak abobut politics she
becomes hard and didactic. She rubs
women who are honestly trying to
study the issues and makes UP their
minds rs to which party they will
vote for the wrong way.
In other words, wives who want tC
help their husbands in their political
careers must watch their step. -

KEEP EDUCATION OUT OF
POLITICS

1t is highly significant that the
heads Of the leading American uni
ersities are vigorously opposed to the
Sterling Reed bill which provides
for federal department of education
with a cabinet officer to preside over
it, and for federal subsidies to states
that adopt certain educational stand
ards prescribed for them by a central
bureaucracy.
President Goodnow of Johns Hop
kins university makes the unanswer-
able declaration that the bill, #
passed, would throw the whole field
of education into national politics"
Scarcely anything could be more de-
moralizing to the intellectual and spir
itual life of the nation. Efforts to con-
rol education would be made by doc
trinairies as we'll as by spoilsmen. One
we'll known politician, if secretary Of
education, doubtless would offer fed
eral brides in the shape of subven-
tions in order to suppress the the
teaching of the theory of evolution
Historians with peculiar views doubt
less would seek to promote the use Of
school and college textbooks in which
facts were tortured and twisted to
draw a preconceived moral.
Bureaucrati tic uniformity is fatal to
advance in education The movement
for a federal department ad secre-
tary of education, though supported
by self styled progressives, is essen
TALLY reactionary from every rational
point of view-Chtcago Daily News.

McCORMICK'S DEFEAT AND
MRS. MCCORMICK

The defeat of Senator Medill Nc
Cormick in Illinois again brings the
question of wife's participation in
her husbands political career. Mrs.
Mccormick, daughter of Mark Hanna
has been active in Republican politics
for the past four years, having been
a member of the Republican national
executive committee. But this winter
she has devoted her entire attention
to working for her husbands re-
election to the Senate, particularly to
organizing the women throughout
Illinois But her husband did not win
the nomination, being defeated by
ex- Gov. Deneen.
What was the trouble? We have
other examples of wives helping TIL cir
husbands, notably in Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth and in Mrs. Clifford Pin
chot. But both Of these two women
are different from Mrs. Mccormick.
The former Alice Roosevelt never ap-
pears In public; her influence is a
personal one with important public
men which she uses for her hus-
