In HIS recent report to the state department at
Washington, Consul Barlow states that five hundred
million dollars invested in Mexican industries by
ILL companies and this has but reached a fair be-
ginning. Americans are realizing the great posi-
bities of that country and rapidly seeking oppor-
tunties there and the administration in Mexico gives
generous welcome to them all. Americans have
invested approximately two hundred million dollars
in Mexico in the past five years and the bulk of this
is in mining, which is of the leading industries
of that country.

IF JOHN HOWARD were alive today he would
still find some work to do in his chosen sphere Once
in while the gasty secrets of the prisons and con-
vict camps of some of Southern states leak out
and when this occurs the old gentleman must turn
in his grave, for the published accounts read like
tales of sixteenth century dungeons. Men who pro-
fess to know whereof they speak, men who have un-
dergone servitude in Southern prisons and lived to
remember it, say that if the truth were told it would
reveal condition of affairs quite as awful as the
torture chambers of the middle ages They say that
such things as the beating of Mamie Decrist are
merely incidents in the days work; and it must be
admitted that the facts coroborate their statements
for until the papers took the matter up no one con-
nected with the prison seemed to consider the beat
ing of the woman anything out of the ordinary.
Another case has recently been made public.
In the convict camp at Duttan Florida a16-year-old
boy last week literally beaten to DEATH because,
forsooth, he not strong enough to push heavily
loaded wheelbarrow. It so happens that his parents
people of some means and so the affair is being
investigated The boy, by the way was convicted of
carrying concealed weapons.
Itisnotprobable that these areisolated instances.
Indeed it has been we'll known for years that the
Southern convict camps veritabe bells on earth
Such brutality dsgraces and degrades not only the
community III WHICH IL occurs, Out the Wnole coun-
try. It is part of the system which counts human
life the most worthless thing in existence; it is
part and parcel of system that is making desperate
men by the score, for every man discharged from a
convict camp, from of those prisons where
convcts reduced to the level of brutes is con-
frmed criminal if he is not actually BRUTE How
can he be otherwisep Such treatment either kills
or hardens the subject beyond hope of reform, for
the man who is not possessed with desire for re-
venge after undergoing such life for a few years
must either be idiot else very @ttle lower than

The college students who went to Nebraska for
the harvesting did not make good hands, and the
farmers in that part of the country say they want
no more of them. One farmer is quoted as saying:
'They want to lie in bed till o'clock in the morn
ing, and they want to quit work at o'clock in the
afternoon and I'm that scared they will set fire to
the haystacks from their stub pipes that can't
sleep nights If this mans experience is typical
it is wonder the college boys are unpopular in

GEORGIA has q new law providing for the en-
poyment the public roads OF state prisoners SEN
fenced to FIVE years less. Each county may elect
the prisoners sent from it and work them within its
boundaries. The papers of the state speak highly
of the law and are apparently unanimous in the be-
lief it will prove successful Commenting it edi-
torially, the Atlanta Constitution says that about 75O
inmates of penal institutions in the state under
sentences of five years less and consequently
eligible for road work. and that this number would
be sufficient to supply every county in the state with
gangs of road builders. The Constitution says in part
sThe amount of work that $50 able-bodied convcts,
working 3l2 days per year, would perform will build
and put in frstclass turnpike condition more than
900 miles of roads, or two broad macadamzed high
ways from one end of Georgia to the other the
work done on such continuous lines"
Altho the experiment is not novelty, it will be
watched with interest by the lawmakers of many
states in which the question of how to best employ
prison labor has not been settled and if it proves
successful other states will probably follow the lead
of Georgia Several European countries utilize their
prisoners to build roads, and it is said the results
satisfactory From the point of view of the pris
oner road making is perhaps the best of any of the
purely punitive methods Of employing convict labor.
It certainly is better than picking oakum tread
mill toll, for it gives those engaged in it oppor
tunity to do something in which they take pride.
There is nothing transitory about good road. It
lasts forever and this fact must be of
satisfaction to those engaged in building it. More
over, a roadmaker is doing something to directly
advance the of civilization by facilitating in
tercourse between distant communities and the work,
it is we'll DONE will be remembered with gratitude
by future generations. All this is worth something
from any point of view.
But it is very likely that Georgia will find some
drawbacks to the system For one thing. employing
prisoners the public highways entails the
sity of having armed with each crew; then most
likely some of the prisoners will be adorned with
balls and chains and other shackes while groups of
with shaven polls, clad in stripes, will not
nance the beauty of the peaceful country side.
However, these objections esthetcal rather than
practical Such things may be accepted matters
of in time, and at any rate will be interest
ing to see how the experiment turns out.

According to the RailaOay Age,
q plan to construct railroad from
New York to Paris by way Of
Behring Straits is under serious
consideration. A company is said
to have been formed in Europe
which has ample funds to carry
out the scheme. The present
plans outline a road across the
United States from New York to
San Francisco, thence northward
through California, Oregon and
Washington, along the coast to
juneau and thence to the most
westerly point of Alaska, extending
into Behring Sea, from where it
is proposed to construct tunnel
under Behring Straits and to make
connection with the Siberian rail-
road. If my memory as to dis
lance serves me rightly this tunnel
would have to be something like
80 miles in length.

Professor Langley's eminence in

press the positive opinion that his

cessful and it would seem that IL
must now be but few years until
aerial navigation will be as COM
mon and safe as antomobiiing.
The reports of the health depart
ments Of some of our cities disclose
some remarkable facts. They show
among other things, that some of
the large cities would be in pro-
cess of rapid depopulation it it
were not for immigration. In San
Francisco there were 1915 deaths
last year, while the births num-
bered but 5,619. The number of
violent deaths in that city is given
as 734, and Is per cent of these
are set down as the result of
surgical operations, indicating
that the science of surgery has not
yet reached a point where persons
who are more dead than alive can
have any assurance that by being
cut up they can successfully be
built up anew. Taking the United
States as a whole, there seems to
be more deaths than births among
the old stock of Americans.
While there is large and in
creasing stream of immigrants
pouring into this country, itseems
that the number of desirables is
decreasing and the number of un-
desirables increasing. Ten years
ago Russia, Austria Hungary and
other anarchistic countries or
countries that breed anarchy sent
us but 1900 emigrants, while
$4,000 came from England, Ire
land, Germany and Skandinavia.
Last year the immigration from
the former named countries
reached a total of 672,O0O, and
from all accounts these were, in q
very considerable measure, thescum
of those countries; while the de-
sirable element, composed of Ger
mans, English, Irish and Skandi-
navfans numbered less than two
hundred thousand, or scarcely
more than half what it was ten
years ago. Thus it would seem
that there is need of greater effort
to encourage immigration of this
better element from the countries
that have reached an advanced
stage of civilization and that more
stringent measures should be en-
ployed to keep out the undesirable
element.
As the time draws near for the

time as might be designated for a

every man within these walls would
conduct himself in such manner
that by next spring he would be
good enough to make a trip to
heaven and secure one of the best
reserved seats. At st. Louis the
