tiOn at these mass meetings, as they do anyhow. and save the expense of holding a primary election. And if we are to have a primary election, why not have a direct primary law and nominate the candidates by a direct vote of the people at these primaries like the states east of us do. This other way is simply ring rule politics and the ordinary voter has no more to say about who is to be nominated than one year old boy.
 Let our legislature see that a pri- mary law is enacted at their next ses- sion and give all the-people a chance to vote for their choice. In some states the law is that a candidate shall file his application with the county recorder at least 30 days before the binary election is held, and then ne pays fee of five dollars to the county to help pay the expense of holding the primary, and this entities him to have his name placed OF the ballot. This gives evey man an equal show and no chance to spring dark horse after the other candidates have spent both time and money in getting their name before the voters. IL is the only square deal to all concerned and should receive the hardy endorsement of our legislature.-MO Leader.

PLACING CONVICT LABOR.

A few days ago Gov. Hoke Smith signed an act of the Georgia legisla- ture that stops just short of putting an absolute end to the leasing out of convict to private employers of labor iH that state. It provides that the sev- eral counties shall get-without cost after next March all the convicts they can utilize in work on the roads and other public improvements IL re quires them so to employ all their misdemeanants and as many of their felons as possible. After they are supplied, the Georgia cities may Ob- tain the services of convict laborcTs by paying the state SI00 a head per year. If there are felony cOnyicts still Jeff over on March q, 1909, for whom the state has neither work ner room in it's penal institutions. the pris- on commission is empowered 10 dis pose of them for one year as if may think best-in other words to lease them out in the old fashion.
 A tender hearted editor suggests that labor on the county roads will degrade the convicts. In most of the states of this counry the farmers the best class of American citizens work so many days every year on their public roads and find it anything but degrading. The Times is opposed to hiring out state convicts to private employers and thus bringing cheap degarded convict labor in direct com petition with the honest, manly labor
