~ Contract System At
Pen Must Go ~
Missouri Prison Reform League States Some
Plain Facts About Present System at State
Penitentiary.
Your Prison A Veritable
Slave Pen.
As a resident of the State of
And Why?
Because you, dear reader,
have not taken sufficient interest in that which belongs to and is supported by
you as a citizen of the state. Therefore the prison reform league of
The Prisoners as Bad Off as in a Russian Mine
Having committed a crime against society he
is sent to the Missouri State Penitentiary for a certain length of time. Upon
his arrival there his labor is sold to a private contractor for seventy-five
cents a day. He is put to work running a sewing machine manufacturing working
men’s clothes. He has a certain task to perform each day or suffer dire
penalties. He is not allowed to talk to the prisoner next to him. He is guarded
every moment of the day by a high-priced civil guard, who is politically
appointed, and is there because of his politics rather than his ability.
Words cannot express the inhuman treatment
accorded the prisoners by these politically appointed guards. The prisoner has
become a slave to do their bidding at all times. He is no longer a prisoner of
the State; he has been sold to the contractor as a chattel, in order that a few
may amass fortunes at your expense.
The Contractor, a Profit Grabber, makes a
contract with the State to use a thousand men to manufacture garments. The
State furnishes to the contractor for 75 cents a day; services of the prisoners,
besides
Free Rent.
Free Heat.
Free Power.
Free Guards.
The prison contractor kills outside
competition, and undermines a living wage for factory girls, no outside
employer being able to compete with prison contract produced goods.
The Poor Overworked Factory Girl
She is up against it, isn’t she? She is
trying to make an honest living. Her employer can’t pay her better wages. Why? Because you, Mr. Citizen, allow your Senators and Representatives
to go to
Prisoners
are turning out at this writing
approximately two thousand dozen overalls and shirts per day.
Free Labor suffers woefully, and will
continue to suffer as long as you, Mr. Citizen, do not raise your voice in
protest.
The State Legislature of 1915 passed laws
that put an end, on and after
The Solution
The prisoners can build rock roads.
They can raise their own food on a supervised
farm, rented until they can afford to own one.
They can grub the land in
They can quarry the rock in
The prisoners can make clothing for all state
institutions.
They can make desks and chairs for the State
and for public schools and the state.
The prisoners can enjoy good health whereas
under the present conditions here are hundreds who have tubercular trouble.
They can be taught trades, such as carpentry
work, masonry, road building, farming, etc., so that when they are returned to
society they
will be fitted to become men
instead of outcasts.
As Good Citizens of this state it is your
duty to get down to work and help
abolish that which every living penologist has condemned as inhumane and
which is responsible for nine-tenths of the trouble met with in any
penitentiary.
The Present Legislature should provide for:
An advisory Board of Control
or Pardon Board.
A Parole System
Establishment of an
Indeterminate Sentence System.
Abolishment of contract
Labor System.
Establishment of Penal
farms.
Incarceration of women
prisoners in the house of correction, instead of in the penitentiary.
Revision of the criminal
laws of the State.
Proper care of the criminal
insane.
Establishment of
tuberculosis hospitals for criminals.
No Financial Loss
Do not fear that the prison may become an
expense to the state. Where ever the private contract system has been abolished
it has resulted in a monetary benefit to the State itself.
Your Part
Will you not help us by telling your friends
what we are trying to do? By writing your State Senators and
Representatives protesting the renewal of the contract system? By so
doing you will help to take the Missouri State Penitentiary out of politics and
it will soon be on a self sustaining basis.

Last Thursday, January 9th, 1917, after all
good little boys and girls had retired and things were quite along the line,
when Walter SCHMIDT, also being one of the good kind, was deep in slumberland, he all of a sudden, was awakened by some queer
noise that he thought to be in the lower part of the house. Before he could get
a light he realized it was in his room, where they gave him a grand serenade by
beating on a big base drum, “to beat the band.” What was all of this about? A
surprise party as it was Walter’s 23rd birthday. Although Walter had been in
dreamland already, he did not dream of a surprise like this, but it did not
take him long to gain his composure and help make the evening a pleasant affair
in plying games and with music. Those present were; Mr. and Mrs. Charles

The Missouri Press Association met on Friday
of last week at the Planer’s Hotel. The meeting was called to see if relief
would be obtained from the excessive prices being demanded for print paper. It
was certainly a hard luck meeting. After much preliminary work the Editor’s got
an offer from the GRAHAM PAPER CO. to furnish paper in 200 ton lots at a cost
of $5.50 per hundred pounds. This is an increase of more than 100 per cent over
what publishers used to buy a superior grade of paper for and in such
quantities as their demands required. The proposed contract was rejected and
the Editors finally decided that sink or swim, survive or perish, they would
rather pay millions for defense than to legalize what they deemed robbery by
becoming a party to the contract. It developed that very many papers have been
force to suspend and go out of business because of the high prices of paper and
this has not been confined to small country papers, but many hitherto
prosperous daily papers have been compelled to shut up shop on this account. It
was suggested that publishers generally institute a campaign in their several
communities to procure a saving in the use of wrapping paper. It was pointed
out that the store keeper wrapped on a box of matches, a can of sardines or any
carton of breakfast foods and various articles that needed no wrapping in fact.
That if only a small saving could be made in the use of
wrapping paper it would reduce the cost of both print and wrapping
paper. The place of holding the next annual meeting was tentatively discussed
and it is quite likely that

It will soon be time to commence work on the
roads and it can now be stated that the principal part of the construction will
be done under the contract system.
A bill has been introduced in the Legislature
to start a coffin factory in the Pen., and
appropriates $75,000 to start the plant. We wonder what Gov. GARDNER will do
with such a bill!
The war in
Admiral George DEWEY is dead. A freak of
fortune transferred him to the far East at the out
break of the war. He though he was being shelved, but he was
really being pushed into immortality. He won the battle of Manilla without the loss of a man, one of the most
consequential naval victories of modern times. He died Tuesday.
It is the intention of the County Court to
give to each township in the county its prorated share of the Bond money in
accordance with the original understanding. This is our information on the
subject and as to where the money shall be spent in each township will, as far
as possible, be left to the townships to decide where they can do so and
agree to definite plan.
The sums asked by the
various state executive, educational and eleemosynary institutions for the
years 1917 and 1918 amounts to $19,607,433 and is in excess of the
revenues of the state to the extent of about $8,000,000. Additional taxes will
of course be asked. In the meantime the numbers of clerks hired is away beyond
the necessities of the situation. It seems that this unnecessary expense don’t
trouble the Legislature when their friends get the money.
As expected the Democratic party
refused to allow the Lamp contest. The plea of course is,
that it costs too much, was not brought in good faith and would take too much
time. If there was fraud and even the Democrats admit this, then there ought to
be an investigation. If there is one principle in our government that should be
safeguarded above all others it is the integrity of the ballot. Failure to do this at all times is to put a premium on fraud at the polls.

~ Quantity of Feed Important For Wintering
Dairy Cows ~
Quantity of feed ranks next
to the kind of feed in dairy rations. Economical feeding demands that cows be fed as
individuals, and not as a herd. Too frequently each cow in a herd is fed the
same amount of grain, regardless of how much milk she is producing. By this
practice some cows will be underfed, while others will be overfed.
It should be understood that an animal always
uses a certain amount of food it receives to maintain the body. This is the
first use to which the food is put, and is called the rations of maintenance.
This amount is required by the animal whether or not she is producing milk. All
feed above this amount is used for milk production, or is stored on the body of
the animal as fat. In the case of the young animal part of this excess is used
for growth.
Of the two mistakes made in feeding perhaps
underfeeding is most common, according to C. H. ECKLES of the Missouri College
of Agriculture. It is a serious mistake to feed a cow only enough to keep up
her body. She must receive feed to keep her milk production up to capacity. If
a cow loses weight while in milk, she is not receiving sufficient food. A good
cow, if not fed enough, will produce milk for a time at the expense of her body
that is, she will take the surplus flesh from her body, and convert it into
milk and thereby will lose live weight. On the other hand, when a cow is over
fed she will begin to fatten in a short time. This condition may be corrected
by giving her only the amount she needs for maintenance and for milk
production. Such feeding will maintain practically a uniform weight.
Roughness is the first important
consideration in feeding cows. A cow is not contented unless her stomach is
full. She would always have all thoroughness that she will clean up and then
the amount of grain she receives should be regulated by the amount of milk
produced. A dry cow in good condition should be fed roughness only, and does
not need any grain. In feeding grain to milk producing cows, the following rule
may be used, and is found to work fairly well: Feed one pound of grain for each 3 pounds or
pints of milk given. A
