SUGGESTS CHANGE.
Mr.. Cox Believes Estimates for
Teachers Should Be Amended.

w. v. Cox, chairman of the commit
tee on ways and means of the board of
education, has forwarded a letter to.
the Commissioners which is a copy of
one he has sent to Representative
Washington Gardner. chairman CT the
subcommittee on appropriations. in
which he suggests that the wording of
the estimates providing for the salaries
of the school teachers be changed. AS
the estimates for the teachers salaries
were forwarded to Congress by the
Commissioners the amount of each in
dividuais salary was specified. 1T is the
intention of Mr.. Cox to eliminate this,
specification and to simply mention the
total sum to be appropriated for sala-
ries, which Is $1,245,925 In suggesting
this change he said there could be no
abuse Of an appropriation in this form,
for neither the total number of teachers
nor the aggregate amount of money
appropriated could be exceeded, nor
could an individual teacher receive an
amount that was not specifically au-
thorized by the organic law. He stated
that this proposed change meets with
the approval of the superintendent of
public schools, whose previous expert
ence in operating schools, Mr.. Cox said,
makes his opinion of great weight.
Mr.. Cox's suggestion has been ap-
proved by Commissioner West.

At the Rag Fair.

BY this time his majesty's identity had
leaked out, and crowd Of his admiring
subjects proceeded to dog his footsteps,
while outside the royal entrance to the
palace another crowd waited to cheer and
snapshot him on his return. But Don
Alfonso quietly went in by back door,
and was next seen at window. laughing
heartily at the disappointment of the
would-be photographers.
A few days later King Alfonso went
with Prince Arthur and the Marquis Of
Viana to see the famous rag fair, where
all the picturesque riff-raff in the town
congregate to sell old iron and penny
toys. OF course, he was very soon com
pletely surrounded by his ragged lieges,
and as he forbade the police to interfere,
progress through the crowd was rather
slow. The king said the people were to
be allowed to come as close to him as
they chose-which order, being overheard,
sent the whole concourse into an ecstasy
of loyal enthusiasm.

:. .Jn Monroe county the board Of super
yisors purchased an additional farm, af-
fording employment for a part of the pris-
oners. In this institution, as well as those
located in the counties of Erie and Al
bany, the prisoners are practically with
out employment, except those doing. the
ordinary institution work. There Is
small farm connected with the Albany
penitentiary which furnishes employment
during the summer to q few men. There
has been no attempt made In any OF the
penitentfaries outside of New York city
to establish any industries About one
half of the prisoners have assignments IN
various kinds Of institution work; the
rest are idle.
;. "While all the prisoners committed TO
these institutions are sentenced not only
to Imprisonment but to hard LABOR aiso'
the managers do not seem to Ieei any
responsibility for carrying into effect the
hard labor mandate of the sentence. All
these penitentiares are located In coun-
ties having large cities. 1t would De
easily possible for these counties to es-
tablish in them some simple industries
and manufacture some OF the supplies
used by the various city and county in
stitutions. The local authorities. how
ever. do not seem inclined to undertake
this work, and are maintaining large
number Of prisoners year after year IN
idleness.
''This is a condition which should be
remedied in some way. To keep men IN
compulsory idleness for months not only
units them for labor after discharge. but
takes away their inclination to labor. On
account of this idleness these prisons,
instead OF lessening the number OF va
grants and tramps in the state, tend TO
Increase that number. None of these IN

Value Of Employment.
AS It is here, so all through both re-
ports the value and, In fact, the absolute
necessity Of employment for the impris-
oned men and women IS emphasized. The
commission Of 1907 closes its report with
number of recommendations, among
which are these two:
1.-THE establishment of a state work
house to take the place Of the present
penitentiaries
1.-THE construction Of open courts or
outdoor yards for all jails, for the exer-
else of prisoners, especially those await
ing trial. and full employment for all
jail convicts.'
The commission. of 1907 also states a
conclusion which is the basis of one or
the strongest arguments in the movement
In Washington for the establishment OF
a local prison or penitentiary, namely:
''It is the accepted doctrine of all MOD
ern penologists that the state Itself should
supervise the infection Of punishment for
disobedience to its laws, and not farm II

King Of the "Yemas."

The next day her majesty started for
drive to the charming riverside village of
San Juan de Aznalfarache, but owing to
rain, the road, always rough, soon proved
impractfcable for her carriage. The
queen only laughed. She got down, with
the Duchess of San Carlos, and the two
ladies tried to walk to their destination.
But half q mile farther the road became
worse still ''It seems that we cannot
