The Ootavia's monkey was an

Jenny took the pipe. We wero be.

Has Caused Much Discussion.
Wheelmen In organized bodies, or as
individuals and all who arc in favor of
conviots being employed in the work of
making better roads, should now &c
quaint their state Legislators with their
views and wishes, says Good Roads.
Hero arc a few facts upon which most
thinkers agree:
Some states arc enacting laws prohib-
iting the selling or giving away Of any
articles manufactured by conyicts within
prison walls. This is what organized
labor justly demands. Convicts labor
must not be permitted to outbid free
labor.
Prisoners should have somo kind Of
work to occupy their minds and hands,
Their work should be made to pay for
their keeping If possible.
1t has been suggested that during
eight or nine months Of each year they
should be employed outside tho prison
walls not by contract labor, but colo
nized, to do the work which tho re-
sources of the state offer In the quarTies,
the mines, along the rivers or ON the
roads. They can be fed and clothed at q
cost to tho state of 20 cents day. Fifty
per cent OF their earnings should bo kept
by the state for the mans family. The
services of tho convicts need not be
hired. Tho state sholld lie compelled to
supply labor for the convicts, who are
her children.
It is generally believed that in en-
pioyihg convicts in roadbuilding two
