LABOR FOR PUBLIC ROADS.

On the eve of the assembly of
the legislature we have in the edito-
rial columns of the Times-Dispatch
a statement from Amherst county
showing that twenty convicts en-
ployed on the public roads there
cost l-6l 2-3 cents a day each.
while free labor would have cost
1929 cents. We do not know the
purpose of the publication. but it
Is instructive.
The cost of convicts per man on
roads will decrease with tho num-
Der employed. The same number
of guards required to watch twenty
could watch fifty. The stockades
for fifty would cost but a trife
more than those needed for twenty.
Provisions decrease in cost as the
quantity purchased increases. If
food was bought and prepered for
hive hundred men its cost per man
probably would be about half what
1t Is when bought in comparatively
small quantities for twenty. TAX
ing the Amherst figures as basis.
we estimate the FIVE hundred or q
thousand convicts worked by the
State and used in two or three de-
tachments would cost for each day
of labor about seventy-five cents.
or less, each.
Aside from the question of cost
comes the question of securing
labor anywhere or on any terms.
Farmers complain now that the
labor Is drained from them by the
railroads and factories offering
prices with which they can not
compete. Are State and counties
to enter into further competition
and with wages of 81. % day strip
the farmers entirelyg
We are pledged to road improve
ment by solemn and continued
promises to the people. We can
not afford to 90 before the State in
another campaign with nothing
done The need is urgent and is
everywhere. 1t is the mostserious
and practice question we have.
If this legislature adjurns with
out some defnate and comprehen-
sive plan it will issue a certificate
and declaration of its own incom-
petence and of the impotence of
the Democratic party which elect
ed 1t and which it represents. 1t
is more than doubtful whether the
labor for such plan of road i'm
provements can be obtained outside
the penitentiary at any cost. We
doubt whether it is in the country.
We know that it cannot be had
without further injury to the
farmers. A plan of road improve
ment which does not include some
method of obtaining available and
fitting labor will be worse than
useless.
The very prospect of good roads
in Virginia will add hundreds of
thousands of dollars to the value
of land in the country. The State

PEELED entirely by outside power or |

SOME HIGH SCHOOL RESULTS.

As result of the foregoing facts
there are existing in Virginia today
the neutrality-suspicious. conditions.
The old private academies which
supplied secondary education to
our fathers has declined and moth
ing has taken their place in most
instances. A great gulf is fixed
between the elementary school and
the college, which initiates seri-
ously against public welfare. Bows
and girls of genius, possessing
qualities of leadership are lost to
the State, as social, moral, civic
and religious leaders. The infiu-
ence of the colleges for good is
greatly limited by limiting the
actual number of students who are
prepared to enter these higher in
situations, and, receiving their
benefits transmit them back to their
communities. Such a chasm be-
tween the great peoples school
and the colleges isolates the col
leges from the life of the people.
1t blocks the way of college stu
dents in their attempt to find con-
genial life as teachers in the public
schools. The violent contrast ex-
lstlng between elementary school
subjects and the subjects recently
pursued by the college man or
woman Is so great as not to attact
teachers from the ranks of college
graduates. But the high school
branches are more nearly related
to those of the college, the graduate
feels more competent to teach them
and he is readily induced to accept
positions in the high schools. Once
connected with the public school
system his sympathies are inevita-
bly, engaged, he lends his superior
knowledge and training and his in
fluence to the improvement of
those schools from which his own
pupils must be drawn.
In Virginia it is the case that the
elementary school does not to any
extent draw renewed power from
advanced schools and thus it re-
wolves about itself. The teachers
come from the elementary schools
and for this reason cannot improve
the conditions of the elementary
school. This question has. been
investigated in fifteen other States
showing that no State has an ade-
quate elementary school system
which has not also a secondary
school system. Virginia's system
OF elementary schools, graded or
ungraded, will not rise much
higher than they now are, regard
less of the amount of money ex-
pended upon them, until there is a
public high school system establish
ed to stimulate their growth and
pull them up.
Another of the depIorabIe re-
suits of the lack of more and better
equipped high schools in Virginia
we have found to be the decrease |
In attendance in the upper grammar
grades. The brighter pupils, with
out an object of hope to attract
their unusual mental activities lose
interest when they recognize that
here is nothing further to engage

PUBLIC HIGHAYS.

The following extract from Gov
ernor Montague's last message to
the Legislature meets with our I'M
qualified approval:
My former recommendations re-
speeding the Improvement of our
common public highways | renew.
ManifeStly, there should be road
commissioner, or, better, road
commission, composed of three en-
gineers, one from the University
of Virginia and one from either the
Virginia Military Institute or the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute, to
be designated by the faculties of
these institutions and 10 serve in
an advisory capacity and with
out compensation, and the third
to be selected by the engineers
of the institutions just named,
who shall be chairman of the
commission and be given fix
ed salary. Unless we have such
an intelligent official body to init
ate, supervise and direct road build
ing and improvements, the money
expended will be chiefly wasted
In 1904 there was spent upon the
county roads, in round numbers
nearly one million dollars, Isl, OOO,-
O00); for this year the amount can
be no less, perhaps it is a little in
excess. Yet with few exceptions
we look in vain for improvement.
We should also adopt the State
aid plan" than is, that the State
appropriate so much money to any
given county or district, upon con-
ditlOn that the county or district
supplement the appropriation by
an equal or larger sum. The State
could well venture upon this scheme
safeguarding her interests by fixed
appropriation, and making them
available TO those counties or dis
trlcts IN order of application and
fultillment of conditions. Not less
than one hundred thousand dollars
$500, O00) per annum should be
appropriated for this purpose at
your present session.
My former recommendation,
made in two several messages. for
the utilization of convicts, either
In the preparation of road materials
or in actual road building, / must
repeat. This would relieve the
congestion at the penitentiary and
the competition of convict labor
with those engaged in skilled
work. OF course the contract with
the Davis Shoe Company must not
be impaired, but there is no neces-
slty for Its renewal. Moreover.
would 1t not be wise to dispose of
the penitentiary farm and utilize
upon the public roads all convicts
whose health requires outdoor life
and air.
And would it not also be wise to
Tx the minimum term of imprison-
ment in the penitentiary at two
years! Surely it ought not to be
less. If this minimum be adopted
then 1t would be easy to utilize the
convicts in our jails to help improve
our road transportation, so essential
to the progress of our people.

passes for each others employees.
To show exactly who will be
effected by this order is not easy
as the companies are not in the
habit of opening the free list for
public inspection. In generate can
be said that it will affect court
Judges and officials, city officers
executive as well as administrative
including city councilmen and
clerks of the council branches:
executive and administrative Off
GERS of the state government.
including members of the legisla-
ture, members of the United States
Senate and House of Representatives,
and all others in the government
service of both high and low de-
gree, as we'll as employees of
newspapers. The order, as under
stood. means the entire abolition of
the pass system except as it relates
to railroad employees. There is
To be no distinction, it is now as
serted, even in favor of the Presi-
dent of the United States on the
lines which have become parties to
the agreement.
Clergymen and members of re-
hgious orders who have heretofore
travelled at reduced rates. are like
wise affected by the change. They
will have to pay full fare after the
order goes into effect.
The lines which are parties to
the agreement are the Pennslyva-
mia, Baltimore and Ohio, New York
Central, Lehigh Valley, Reading
Chesapeake and Ohio and Norfolk
and Western.
What the roads will save by
this action is problematical. 1t is
we'll understood that many per
sons would ride when they could
go free when required to pay fare.
Friends of municipal, state and
national officials will be cut off
from prequisite long enjoyed.
1t is said that the new policy has
not been adopted by the railroads
because of any knowledge of wide
spread abuses of the privileges. In
fact, it is declared. cases are rare
when a deliberate attempt at de-
ceptiOn or fraud has developed. 1t
Is rather the result. railroad men
say, of a general public sentiment
that 1t Is a discrimination in favor
of classes or individuals. Some
states, it is said, prohibit their Off
GERS from accepting passes. 1t is
rather in anticipation of the growth
of this sentiment than any existing
abuse 1t Is said, which has prompt
ed the course of the railroads ut
this time.
The records of the Baltimore and
Ohio show interesting instances of
how the pass privilege is regarded
by some persons. 1t developed
recently and had a touch of humor
IN 1T that almost secured the appli-
cant what he asked for but il did
not. A resident of Vulcan. ILL.,.
whom 1t is not unfair TO call Smith.
although that is not his name.
wrote to the passenger department
of the Baltimore and Ohio for 2
pass from his home to Washington
and back. The ground on which
he asked for the pass was that he
was a Judge. The request was re-
ferred to the western division of
the company at Chicago for inves-
tigation. In short time an answer
came back. The case had been
looked into and the only claim to
the title of Judge" which the an
pLcant had was that at one time he
had judged the horse racing at the
county fair.-Baltimore Sun.

PASSING OF THE PASS.

The effect of the agreement by a

Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm
