ideas of protection just as much as
to have pauper goods from other
countries compete. The act also pro-
vldes that the convicts must be EN-
ployed within the prison grounds.
That is serious fault in the law,
to our mind Idaho needs many
roads which she cannot afford to con-
struct; other bad roads ought to be
better. We believe the states pris-
oners ought to be put at work max
ing good roads. One hundred men
on our roads for ten years would
accomplish wonderful results. This
would not compete against any honest
laborer, because the road work they
would do could not be done if men
had to be paid wages.

PENITENTIARY AGAIN.

An inspection of the act providing
for the contracting of the convicts
(Which, rs stated, had not been made
last week. shows that such ccntin-
gency could not take the penitentiary
entirely out of the hands of the in
coming administration, rs it would
still have the appointing of warden,
who would select deputy and guards.
1t was presumed the contractor would
have sole charge and furnish his own
guards. However, the incoming off.
clals should still have the handling
of such an important matter as let
tiny a contract for ten years. 1t is
not thing for officials just going out
to ito. While the two bids received
in reply 10 the advertisement were
rejected, it is not improbable that the
governor might let private contract.
since lie has started in, and he should
be enjoined from that. Because if
Mcdonnell lets contract of anv
KIND as he goes out of Office, the
public may rest assured there is some
job in it. 1t is too bad we cannot
trust orr governor, but such is the
case. His jobbing proclivities are
too well known A job is the more
likely, because OF the fact that the
law has existed for four years and
Mcdonnell has never discovered it.

he Is about to quit, the Lord only
knows what methods he would take

gulch between departure and recep-
ton of Mckinley pie. If there were
something handsome in this contract
business for Mac to sort of round
of the corners of the pardoning
power with, it would be as balm of
Gile"d to him. The act provides
that the contractor shall not manu-
facture any article which comes in
competition with anything manufac-
tured in the state, but suppose shoes
are turned out, they would come in
with every other shoe
factory in the United States, and to
