with some of the boys on Sunday and
had a gun that kicked" some. He hreo
about seventy-five shots, and every time
he fired a shot the gun would kick III

but by the time he had shot all his shots,
as Billy put it, there was sore spot

This will undoubtedly give Mr. john

shooting on Sunday, but should get
around among the politicians and do some
campaigning.

SOME COUNTY POLITICS.

The city and county organization of the
First ward held a we'll attended meeting
last night in Johnson's hail. Seventh and
Bradley streets. Nothing Of Importance
was done, however. The names of Peter
Van aoven for sheriff, Dr. Miller for
coroner and Ed Peterson for county
treasurer were introduced, but were not
Endorsed.
The fight between Ed G. Krahmer, NJ.
N. Goss and Phil Justus for the Repub-

be very close, and it is anybody's fight
until the ballots are all counted for the
last time in the convention.
The "big four" Hardick for sheriff,
Schulze for register of deeds, w. A.
Washburne for abstract clerk and Fred

not been much in evidence lately but
there was a rumor afoat yesterday that
the combination was still a 60

THE ROADS AND THE CONVICT

Few win be heard to dissent from the
view of the urgent need of good roads
which is presented by Mr.. Edward Elk
man in another portion of this issue. He
presents his case with much force and
ability but he presents it, we fear, to an
Indifferent public.
For many years the Globe has
preached the gospel of good roads. Other
papers throughout the state have done
likewise. The concerted movement in
favor of good roads has found it's way up
here, and meetings of the Good Roads Or
ganization have been held in certain COM
munitles of Minnesota, but without any
avail, either present or prospective.
There is no other direction in which
convict labor could be more effectively
used than in the construction Of good
roads. The undertaking would be in no
sense experimental, since it has been
tried in the old countries, as well as in
several states of this Union, and has been
in every case followed by the most hope
full results with reference to tie condition
of the public highways
Not only the state penitentiary. but
every place Of detention of prisoners
could be utilized in the construction of the
public highways. The inmates of county
jails could be provided with healthful en-
ployment; the occupants of the local
warehouses; could be engaged in the same
class OF work Indeed, right here in St
Paul, we have an object lesson furnished
IN connection with the work done by the
Inmates of the workhouse on Como Park.
under he direction of supt. Fitzgerald
We owe the transformation which has
been effected at Como in no small meas
uro TO the intelligent utilization of prison
labor by the management OF the St. Paul
workhouse~
Tie subject of lie utilization of con
vlcts is a live one. So is the subject OF
the better construction of our state high
ways. 1t is true, as Mr. Ekman saws
That We have never had any experience in
road construction, especially in the agri-
cultural regions, since the railroads were
The very pioneer Of travel. But we must
como back sooner or later to the position
that il the locality is to prosper in in
