A little pamphlet entitled,

A little pamphlet entitled,
'Short Talks on Convict Labor"
is on our desk, and after close
ly scanning it we can see that the
main purpose is to oppose the
present system in this State and
to offer as little opposition to
free labor as possible. In this
we believe, but just how it is to
be accomplished remains to be
worked out by some one who
will thoroughly study this impor-
tant proposition. We have never
believed in opposing free labor
with prison labor, and so long
as the state hires out it's convicts
to manufacturers at reduced pri-
ces, so long will free labor feel
its effects. If some system could
be instituted by which the labor
of convicts could be used on our
public roads it would clear the
situation and bring to the people
direct benefit. IL is true that
life prisoners and the unruly or
vicious class could not we'll be
worked outside of the walls, but
with the large Jail buildings
throughout the state, hundreds
of them could be safely kept at
night, and securely guarded by
day while building substantial
roads. This proposition would
probably meet the objections of
those who believe that the main
mission of prison life is to re-
form, but it is not our opinion
that the chief end of a prison
sentence is to bring reformation,
except through the ordeals of
punishment, at any rate refor-
nation is desired, and we cannot
see why it could not be as sue
cessfully brought about by work.
ing them on the road as in the
heated rooms of factories, where
nothing is inviting. Bring them
out to the country and build
roads that will last century and
it will be better for the state,
better for the wage Garner, and
better for the unfortunate ones
who must pay the penalty for
crime. Nature with it's charms
will do more for the prisoner than
the lash of a boss in a sweat
shop
