Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.—"The
American and Canadian communist
parties are unapproached by those of
any other country in the depravity
of their writings and the barrenness
of arguments advanced in favor of the
cause they pretend to espouse," says
the Canadian Congress Journal, offi
cial magazine of the Canadian Trades
and Labor Congress.
"On the eve of negotiation^ between
the British empire steel corporation
and the miners, we find them de
nouncing the officers of the miners'
organization as incompetent and un
suited to carry on such negotiations.

EXPLOIT CONVICTS
System of West Virginia
Pen Condemned By Law*
vers Committee
Morgantown, W. Va.,—This state's
record on the industrial field, with
its gun men and private armies, is
similar to its treatment of helpless
convicts who are housed in its peni
tentiary at Moundsville. The system
at this prison was condemned by
Howard Holt, chairman of the com
mittee on crime of the state bar asso
ciation, which held its annual convent
ion in this city. Mr. Holt said there
are 1,585 men in Moundsville, and
most of them are exploited by con
tractors, who secure this labor for
70 cents a day.
"Under this contract," said Mr
Holt, "each prisoner must average
from 12 to 18 workmen's shirts per
day. This-means that one of these
shirts costs from 4 to 6 cents. The
material costs 36 cents, and the shirt
sells for $1. It is understood that
there are now more than 500 convicts
working under this contract and the
contractor and associates make a pro
fit of hundreds of thousands.of dollar
yearly."
Mr. Holt said that the cells in this
prison are five feet wide, eight feet
long and seven feet high. "Into many
of these cells the sun has never
shown," he added. And it is needless
to say that in such limited space
there is no room for exercise. In
nearly every case two men are confin
ed in each cell. With the utmost care
that can be exercised by any admin
istration these conditions breed immor
ality and degradation. There are only
about five acres of yard space for
these 1,585 men to occupy. They are
crowed in the shops, in the yard, and
at night confined in these unsanitary
cells. There is no time nor opportun
ity for privacy. Men are infected with
tuberculosis. Some of them die within
the walls and some of them go forth
to spread the disease in the outside
world.
"We regard such treatment as in
human. Who are we, that wt should
treat any.fellow man in thif.man

A United States marshal of Tennes
see, had his conduct under question.
Special investigators werg sent to
check up. They made their report.
That report was turned over to the
United States attorney general. The
Memphis Press demanded that the
report be given to the public. The
press insisted that something was
rotten in the state of Denmark. That
report never saw the light of day.
Why? The officials who hired the
booze hounds found that their hands
were dirtier than the slimy hands of
the cesspool cleaners. If Henry Ford
has any time to spend outside of
cluttering up the roads and highways
with his product, he might find it
quite interesting to delve into the
question of how it is profitable to be
a public official and receive honest
American dollars for being a hpyo
crite.

THE KALEIDOSCOPE
By I. C. McCUMBER
The honorable mayors of the slv
eral minor municipalities of Ohio and
other states, do not hire law enforce
ment officers upon the personal integ
rity of the applicant, it appears.
They hire them for their reputation
as outcasts from the so-called level
of society. *The lower down in that
strata the more valuable their serv
ices. And what is more, this applies
to the selection of some deputy
United States marshals. They are not
selected for their personal integrity
but for their political maneuvering
ability. And who selects them Ask
your congressmen, ask your senators,
also your representatives. The Ka
leidoscope has no fight with any hon
est man. He does not say that every
man is a politician, but he does most
emphatically say that if Mississippi,
Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee and
several other states have not been
able to debauch their citizenship with
the hypocrisy of the side door in two,
three and four score years, then the
falls of Niagara do not run true to
form. Mobile, Birmingham, Ala
bama, Paragould, Arkansas Coiiier
ville, Tennessee, have been in the ten
der care of the mayor agents for de
cades. If you want corn liquor from
the wood, get in touch with the poli
ticians from some of the United
States marshal's office. Continued in
our next paragraph.

scandal. The Kaleidoscope does not

tell the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth. Your personal
life is your personal property and
personal affair, but the moment you
accept or take public office, then your
every act becomes public property and
subject to public criticism or public
approbation. This old world of ours
still has a sufficient number of white
men and red-blooded Americans in it
to protect their homes. And the time
is not far distant when as in pioneer
days, behind every door there will be
a musket or a sawed-off shotgun. Not
necessarily to protect the home owner
from the banditry inclined, quite as
much as it will be to protect, them

down" for the benefit of the muniei:_
pality.
Only recently I chanced to meittl
the village mayor who had gained a
most "envious" reputation as being
a severe actor on so-called speed driv
ers of automobiles. He fined almost
every car driver who passed through
his village of a Sunday. He fined
them the stipulated amount of $18.40
religiously. And then he awoke to
the fact that the state officials backed
up on his crude work, and told him
that the law of banditry no longfr
could profitably be worked in the
state of Ohio. Mind you, the hun
dreds of auto owners who had been
held up at the muzzle of a gun or
the yawning doors of an insect-infed
ed calaboose, now can ride through
that same town at ten miles an hour
where formerly they were pinched for
driving six miles an hour. That
mayor had a "conscience." He had
more than that. He had a board if
councilmen behind him who were dead
in love with easy money. Thus the
mayors of our several villages, citifli
and towns are using a something,
not to enforce the law, but to carr^v.j
out their principles as they read thettt
—for revenue only—banditry.
