CONvICTs AND ROAD WORKING.

UNIV luis AMI hOAD OOhhlNU.
Our esteemed contemporary, The
Richmond Times-Dispatch, evidently
is not acquainted with the difficulty,
or indeed the absolute impOssibility,
OF securing hands for working the
public roads In Virginia under our
present road laws.
The Lexington Gazette observes
that 1t does not seem right for the
State to hire out her convicts to a
rich corporation at such low figures,
thus allowing them TO reap such
large profits from the criminal ele-
ment, whose labor thus comes in d.
rect competition with the hsndigork
OF honest men who are trying pro
vide support for themselves and
families"
And The Times-Dispatch suggests
that II convicts should be worked on
public roads there would still be a
hue and cry about competition with
honest labor there.
Not a bit Of it. This is one field OF
activity In which convict labor will
not come in competition with any.
one. AS a rule, the road overseer is
forced to work his road personally,
with what hired help he happens TO
employ, and it is only when theroads
become impossible that anyone else
can be induced to help repair them.
This is a field Of labor in which the
convict is perfectly welcome to a mo-
nopoly. In addition to the benefit
TO the roads the employment OF con-
Wet labor will bring about, this is
one OF the strongest arguments in
favor OF the plan.

THE FREIGHT.RATEs MEASURE


President Roosevelt deserves much
credit for the firm stand he has taken
10 reference 80 the question OF regu'
lating railroad freight rates. 1t is
reported shat the Republicans, as a
party, do not favor the proposition,
and indeed Representative Sydney
Z. Mudd, Rep of Maryland, de-
clares that after talking extensively
with his colleagues in Congress, he
has reached the conclusion that not
one of them is satisfied with the pro-
posed measure, and but for the de-
termined stand taken by the Presi-
dent, it would be defeated.
The Democrats are practically
unanimous for some action regulat-
.ng freight rates, and after the defeat
OF their own measure, as contained
In the Davey bill, which is sure TO
come, they will support the Republi-
can proposition as the best obtain
able relief from present conditions.
There is, therefore, every reason TO
believe that some such measure will
carry, not only because it is champ
Toned by the President, but because
the people are behind is.
The President has practically noti-
fed the railroads that they must ac-
cept the dose he proposes TO admin
lister or take something worse, and
for this fearless and determined
stand he deserves the plaudits OF all
the people.
Strange as it may seem, the Demo-
cratic proposition is more nearly in
accord with the expressed views OF
President Roosevelt than the meas
ure proposed by his own party, but
as 1t seems impossible TO get a whole
loaf at present, we will have to &C.
cept the half, for the time being, and
look for full relief TO the future.
