Pu1 COnVictS at Road Work

. i u A-blt y tGiS al NUdG w vi X
With the discussion Of the good
roads proposition comes the question
of means with which to carry on the
, work. That every one in the State
will be benefited by improved roads
+, is unquestionable. That the tax
payers will donate literally to secure
such improvements is not to be
doubted. That the State should also
do its share, in what means added
values to the taxable values of all
the property therein, is beyond cues
ton.
Yet, after all the money that has
been raised from such sources is
counted there will remain much work
that cannot be done for lack Of funds.
Why not place the convicts at this
work? The leasing system is fast
losing ground in every state where
practiced. Its faults are many; its
virtues few. The moral and legal
basis of conviction is that it will
deter crime, as well as punish the
criminal. The leasing system in many
cases does neither.
Furthermore it is the duty Of GOV
eminent, of the State, to see that
adequate and proper punishment is
inflicted upon the criminal, and under
its supervision, be carried out. BY
the leasing system the State absOlves
itself of a duty it owes to its inhabi-
tants, shifts its responsibility upon
those who are only interested in
making a profit out of the prisoner,
giving no attention whatever to the
aims Of the laws.
Under proper rules, working the
convicts upon the public roads would
give an equitable return in labor to
every locality of the amount that had
been expended by it in the capture
and conviction Of the convict. Credit
could be given any county for the
amount thus expended and proper
system established to work cOnvicts
accordn ely. Or one county could
pay into road fund such sums as it
wished, to secure the work of con-
victs which were not required where
their labor was due
Again the making of roads would
more evenly return to every indi-
vidual the cost to him Of supporting
the laws, in a form that would be
beneficial to all, than anything else
could do. Good roads mean increased
value to land; better living for all,
for every one has at times to use the
highways; an increase in the value
of the farm products, and decrease
in cost of everything that has to be
hauled over the roads through it
being possible to handle greater
tonnage with the same power.
There certainly can be no valid rea-
son given why the cOnvicts should
not work the roads. II means per
hapS a little more work upon the
part of the State Officials. The pre-
sent system seems to be constructed
and carried out on the principle of
shifting the States responsibility for
the care Of the criminal class. Every
organized governmental body has
duty to perform in this respect, and
should not be allowed to shift their
lawful responsibility.

ANOTHER BIG SALE
 IN BOUSE DISTRICT
j. C. Denton Disposes of the "Dutch-
 man" Group to California Capitalists

Rouse, Oct. 30.-(SpeciaL)-It was
 intimated a few days ago when the an lnouncement of the sale of the Little Butte group by Bouse and McMahon, ythe original locators, was sent to The Republican, that a second important sale was. on the tapis.
 It was concluded yesterday and the first payment made. The transaction has been conducted with extreme se- crecy, but it turns out that the well
 known Dutchman group was the ground that passed in yesterdays sale. This group contains a large acreage and is considered by many as the best ground in the camp.
 Both sales were negotiated by Col. | J. c. Denton of Bouse a former Gold field operator and promoter who knows how to swing a deal. This makes the second large sale in the camp this week both negotiated by Col. Denton, who is systematically interesting u wide circle of his mining acquaintances | in Nevada, Colorado and Los Angeles, | in the merits of this great young cop 1 per camp. His work is appreciated | by the miners of Rouse camp many of whom have more property than they are able to develop actively and are de- lighted to find that Col. Denton is able to deliver the boom which all summer he has promised them for this | fall and winter. He states that if Taft | is elected he will be able before mid winter to conclude a dozen large sales in the camp to capitalists whom he has already interested, but who are reluc- tant to make commitments until after the election. But Bouse feels that two big sales in one week is pretty good for starter for a boom. It is understood that Col Denton has taken over these two splendid copper properties for syndicate of heavy Los Angeles oper- ators. who will not spare money in ! croWding development.

1t is probable that owners of fast
yachts will be asked to loan them to
the fleet committee. There are but
eight revenue cutters on the Pacific
coast and not all of these will be avail
able for service in the harbor during
the stay of the war vessels. The Of

bor have inquired if it would be pDssi-
BILE to obtain any fast yachts.

This gave rise to the suggestions to
utilize the several points of vantage

Marin county.
Acting on these suggestions 1t has
now developed that automobile parties
will go to the different elevated points
in this city, and these include: Sutro

Ball for Jackies

Welcome, cleaning in Pioneer

the battleship fleet, according to
the plans of the executive COM
mittee. Six thousand dollars was
appropriated yesterday for this pur
pose and to pay also for thousands of

and in Van Ness avenue
These will be the principal public
decorations during the week of festiv
ity. No bunting will be strung nor will
any further scheme of electric decora-
tion be undertaken. All the streets, of
course, will be gay with festoons of
colored streamers put up by private
citizens, but so far as the official dec
orations are concerned the display will
be confined to flags and the one big,
glittering Welcome"
For the entertainment of the enlisted
men, many plans were formulated yes
terday at a joint committee meeting Of
the women of the California club, who
viii have charge OF the ball for the
tackles, a delegation of naval men from
the Yerba Buena island naval training
station and the official committee on
entertainment.
How to obtain a sufficient attendance
of women to dance with the sailors was
the question put TO the committee of
clubwomen by the chairman of the
committee, Walter Macarthur, but the
dilemma of the men members of the
entertainment body was quickly ended.
"There'll be no trouble about getting
enough girls to co. said one woman.
THE problem will be to accommodate
every one with the limited floor space
of our dancing pavilions."
1t was decided after considerable dis
cussion to place the ball invitations in
the hands of so women, who will be
selected later. Invitations also VIII be
issued to the sailors, each snip being
allowed a limited number. Twenty-f five
hundred couples Will be hidden.
Two big dancing pavilions and audi
toriums and large park for baseball
games or other sports were added yes
terday to the list of donations to the
committee of conveniences for the
week of fiesta.
The Auditorium rink was offered free
for FIVE nights, Dreamland for one
night. and the owners of the property at
Eighth and Market streets, which for
merly was Central park, donated that
site for an arena OF any other purpose
the committee desired All the offers
were accepted
A number of letters from persons and
societies desiring to give private enter
tainments during the week of fleet en-
tertainment We're received, but the
committee decided that all it would
have to do with such affairs would be
to program them and submit the list
for approval to Admiral Evans and Sec
retary Metca1f. Organizations which
so far have signified their intention of
giving dances to the officers of the fleet
are the knights Templar and Order of
the Eastern Star.
The report of the finance committee
showed the condition of the treasury of
