THE PARADE.

THE PARADE. The circus bands were playing And down a city street There came, like wind. the batter or happy children's feet. Brave cars in gold and silver And riders not a few. Like visions sent from fairyland, Advancing in review. The lion gave a roar,
 The elephant looked wise, The steam calliope did lift It's music to the skies. With clowns and prancing horses The glory passed along And set old hearts to thrilling With half-forgotten song. 50 cheap 1t was and tawdry,' You'll hear a scoffer say, Who never felt the rare, sweet joy That comes on circus day. But grandpa fell to musing. His kind, gray head bent low, That gleeful shout youngster gave Was his in the long ago.

C0NvlcTS FOR ROAD WORK,
Tribute to Their Value as Highway
BuilderS

In an address by John Craft of Mo
bile 1t was stated that the cost to the
farmers of the south is 80 cents per
bale of cotton for an average haul of
eight miles, says an exchange. If there
were good roads, the cost would be
reduced to 10 cents a bale. Estimat-
ing a crop at million bales, this
would mean saving of $4,000 an
. nually. 1t costs under present road
conditions % cents to haul ton of
fertilizer a mile. With good roads the
cost would be cents a ton.
Il have studied for some years the
problem of working convicts on our
public roads," said Mr. Craft, "and
they have proved to be the most eco
nomical road builders to be had. The
convict has long passed the experiment
tai stage for roadmaking." Judge Eve
OF Georgia, who has had twenty years
OF experience in working convicts as
road builders, says They are the best
and cheapest road builders. While
working convicts not single overt act
was committed or single child, wo-
man or man molested or one dollars
worth of property deprecated on.
Mecklenburg county, \. c., has the
finest macadamized roads, and 1t is be-
ing done with convict labor. 1t costs
an average of % cents a day TO guard,
feed and care for convict labor wnen
1t is managed on business principles.
"As for the convict himself, statistics
show that 60 per cent of those who are
worked in the open air, properly fed
and guarded, return to their families
and cease to be a charge or menace to
the state, while of those who are kept
In prison or worked in mines, at saw
mills or other similar places S5 per

do l think IL right to put the honest

vict labor or the manufacturing indus

Massachusetts spends more money
than any other state on her public
roads. New York has voted to issue
100000 for her roads to be used in
the next ten years. New Jersey has
hne roads, which are the best invest

tating a bond issue of S25.000000 for
