such n state of mind is not conducive to
ease or gracefulness. If they would dis
miss tho idea that abstract rules instead of
general convenience are tho things to he
regarded, they would got along very much
better. Circumstances alter cases, and
what it is proper to do in ono case and with
regard to ono person may be quite wrong
in other circumstances and where some
body else is concerned. When in doubt as
to what to do, tho difficulty may usually
DO solved by thinking what would be prac-
tical, reasonable, convenient and consider
ate Any course that answers all these re-
quirements will BIO likely to be tho right
ono.

What to do with the prison labor OF
the country is a much discussed CUES
ton. Newspapers, magazines and re-
views make it a subject of serious and
not infrequent, intelligent considera.
ton. Up to the present writing the
most of the conclusions arrived al
show more clearly what the pris-
oners should not do rather than what
they should do.
All thoughtful writers on the sub
ject agree that the cOnvicts must be
employed at something. To enforce
idleness upon them would be at once
inhumane and expensive.
In the current number of the North
American ReUieaC Carroll d. Wright,
United States Commissioner ofLabor,
in very able and comprehensive ar
ticle on the subject, says:
Revenge is not part of the States
duty, but the protection of society is
its sole duty, and criminals are a part
of society. The method of treatment,
there fore, which will reduce the
number of criminals and bring them
back to society as cured and indus
triOus citizens will also eventually re-
duce the expense to the State and the
annoyance and irritation and danger
which comes from the presence of a
body of criminals. Whatever condu-
ces to this result. whether it be the
NF
benefit of the State or teaching them
how to employ their minds and hands
when they leave the prisons must be
the true course; the size of the deficit
in the State treasury resulting there
from or the trifiing competition which
follows are of but little account. In
place of the old rule for the running
of prisOns-profits. with incidental re-
formatOry results, the new rule will
sWay-refOrmatiOn, with incidental
profits
If the reformation of society, inside
and outside of iails, is the end desired,
how can the purpose be more happily
brought about than having the CON
victs employed in making good and
beautiful highways? The healthful,
out-of-door work in the open sunshine
will build them up, physically, men
tally and morally What could have
a more reformative influence than the
changing of muddy, miry, stony ways
into smooth, level, charming highways?
The whole community, convicts and
all, will thus have their feet lifted out
of the sand and placed on the endur-
ing rock. The prisoners and the
roads may be reformed by the same
process.
