The Tennessee convict law must be
queer arrangements. The state under
takes to defend its contracts with the
lessees of the convictS in the mining dis
tricts in order, ii is asserted, to prevent
suits for breach of contract and result
ing damages by the lessees. On the
other hand, the lessees aver that they
would gladly release the state and give
up the convictS if they could, for the
reason that the convicts are a source o.
expense and annoyance and have been
almost from the day they were received
from the state. The lease system is I'M
satisfactory and ~vexatiOus everywhere
it is tried. But as TO that, what to do
with tie states prisoners so as to make
them self-sustaining and at the same
time not bring the fruit Of their labor
into competition with that Of the free
labor of the state, is one Of the unsolved
and constantly p~erpiexing problems con-
nected with the police regulations. There
is scarcely a state hut what has tried

property has never put forth its fu-l

always proclaimed the same principle
that individual rights are nothing more

that power always finds justification

that communities which are feeble but
wealthy do not permanently retain
their wealth in the presence of commu-

There has never been q time in the
history of Kansas when the citizens of
the state were Kidding themselves of
debt by buying their obligations off in
cash as the present. Proofs of this
statement come to hand every day and
from all parts Of the state. Here is one
from the Harper Graphic: "Out Of
eighty-five mortgages sent to the Citi-
zens State bank for collection eighty
four were paid and the mortgagor Of
the other was found to be dead"

Rightmire AYERS that the chattel mort

while the personal property Of the state
is put at $3.50 900. If these figures are
correct they prove that Kansas has about
as shrewd a set of people IN a business

Cape Cod to Yubadam. And as the poor

''Honest John Kerfoot" who will sweep

Kerfoot, both good Democratic names,
but so far as the EAGLE is concerned
Schweitzer stands ahead in the simple
fact that the man who wrote for him
signed his name while the man who
writes to set down on Schweitzer in
favor of kerfoot, don't leave a response

or some other subsidized woman may
have written for Kerfoot who for all we
