ROAD-MAKING by PRISONERS.
The mayor and tho chief Of police.
after inspecting a mile and a half OF
road-making by the city prisoners, pro-
uouuce &c one Of the best, n not tho
best, pieces OF road On the State.
MT Barlow says that this road is
perfectly graded. high in the center
wiiened good ten feet with proper
drainage facilities on each side, and
ought to last for 20 years with occa-
sional resurfacing
As 20 tine expense OF this sort of road
making the chief makes the following
statement:
Since Jan ] We have worked an av-
cragc OF % men daily. accompl.s hing
probably % fun days OF work. or a
total OF 1875 days work We main
tain the prisoners for % cents a. day
each. so our actual cost Tor labor FOR
constructing the mile and a half OF
road has bean about $780, g. Add 10
this $40 10 $50 for powder and wear
ana tear Of equipment and you can
stlll figure a two-thirds saving over
the expense Of a road constructed by
hired labor
We call especial attention % this exc
cellent showing. because there has been
In the past a very great and a very
unreasonable prejudice against the eIu-
ployunent OF prisoners Ia any work that
might be done by the free labor Of
tho community.
Much OF the prejudice against prison
labor Is due 20 the assumption that
the employment OF convict labor In
any sort OF gainful occupation or neoea-
sary form OF industry tends 10 throw
the regular artisans out OF work.
No greater delusion could exist Take
the present case by way Of illustration.
Have any road-ma.kers been thrown
out OF work by the fact that the city
prisoners have successfully laid a piece
OF good road? Certainly not The reg
ular road makers went risht on, and
there are enough roads needed In this
state 10 employ all the regular road
makers we can possibly provide wages
for and all the prisoners Of city county,
or State for the next quarter OF a CEN
tury.
So far from preventing the building
Of roads the fact IS that a single good
road laid down by any kind OF labor IS
an example and an inducenent for the
laying OF other similar roads.
The only thing that limits and pre-
vents the making OF good roads is the
inability OF the unwillugness or the
people 90 pay for them and n they
can virtually secure good road for
nothing as by the employment Of phi
son lahorers, who must be- fed and
clothed whether they work OF not why
should the people not be ready 90 ac-
cept a piece OF good road as a mere
ate

MAKING THE RIVERS WORK.
Americans Should Emulate Germany in
Utilizing Natural Resources.
From the Boston Herald

Two factors enter into the greater
efficiency OF the German waterways.
Imperial appropriations. devoted to a
system Of lig~ht-draught channels. have
extended over a scheme of great dimen-
sions and have opened the way for
river navigation far into the interior Of
the country. Individual enterprise, APP
prectating the advantages of river
courses for commerce, has conceived
and constructed boats adapted to the
available draught. This Is ''utiliza-
ton" contrasting with development"
A third factor, distinct from either ma
tional or individual enterprise, has been
the local encouragement given to river
commerce. Wherever, along a German
river. there is a city OF two or three
thousand people there Is a shiphaven
for the river boats. This Is built In
part by the state and In part by the
city. The shiphaven consists OF a
dredged basin. surrounded by a dixie TO
protect 1t against floods, and within
the dixie, and on a quay, a public ware
house. Direct railway connection is
furnished, the latest equipment for
loading and unloading and transferring
cargoes Is installed, and the individual
shipper, great or small, Is afforded the
benefit of the latest and most complete
methods n appliances for freight
handling. AT the harbor of Ruhrort-
n WlClC "CShDlldlldu CodI
comes to the water, the installation Of
improved loading equipment at the
public docks saved $175 on every 1000
tons OF coal. and there are Is, 000, 900
tons shipped from that port every year.
American riverside cities confess in
fact, If not In words. that they cannot
do these things. Why? The Germans
do 1t. and without assessing the gen
eral funds Of the public. Breslau spent
81 S00 0O0 on "a MORT anIttnYnnnt and nrn-
vided for the interest and principal by
a sinking und created through a slight
charge on traffic benef1ting by the i'm
provement. Bremen spent $50, 900, 900 In
deepening the Weser and constructing
port-havens. and will redeem it's bonds
by charges on the traffic thus benefited.
American cities do not undertake such
great public works because the citizens
will not trust their own representa-
tive local governments with such re-
sponsibilities. Americans fail TO utilize
their local government and it's admin

FIOul TIE GuiIduelpUld INQUIRER.
While runrmaging among some old
books Lee Matthews, of Hastings.
Mich. found a book which he believes
may be valuable. 1t Is a copy of Reg
ulations for the Order and the Dis
cipline of the Troops OF the United
States to which Is added an appen-
dix containing the United States mi
litia act, together with the law organ
izins tie militia OF the state of New
York.
The author of the book Is Baron de
Steuben, late major general and in
spector general OF the army of the
United States. The book was pub
lished for Daniel and Samuel whiting.
OF Albany, N. Y, in 1903.
Baron de Steuben was the famous
German officer through whose untir-
ing efforts Washington's ragged, I'M
disciplined and rebellious army at VAL
ley Forge was trained and made into a
force which did not finch when 1t met
the British regulars The rough old
German inaugurated a new military
system in the American army, which
made its work very efficient. His mil
itary tactics. the result OF many years
service In European warfare, was the
basis On which the future militia and
army were trained. The book Is of
convenient size for the pocket, and
leather bound. 1t contains complete
instructions for training an army and
officers. giving details OF firing the old
fireiocks, for attacking and repelling
attacks. for marching and for camp
ing. There are also copper plate prints
OF diagrams for field tactics. There Ia
a folder of % lithographic figures
showing h manual exercises used at
that time.

BY United States Consul at Nantes.
School cantines were opened in
Nantes In November. according to a
vote OF the municipal council OF that
city.
These cantines are installed In each
nonsectarian (public) school and are
intended to furnish poor children with
hot and nourishing food. In one OF
the rooms OF the school there is a re-
fectory where the meal takes place.
At five minutes to IL the children go

are able to pay. Thus the children's
pride Is not hurt. there being no DIFF
ference between the n who pays and
the one who does not.
The meal lasts three-quarters of an
hour. Two of the older children are
appointed to watch over the younger
and see that they all secure their food.
one of TIE masters also superintends
the meals. The weekly bill OF fare has
been arranged as follows:
Monday-Cabbage soup, sausage and
beans.

But whatever the causes, the act is
that Germany makes her rivers work.
Thus she saves cost in production. This
is the beginning of enterprise that
sends ships across the main, captures
commerce in foreign lands from other
competitors and extends national influ-
ence-commercial. financial and politi+

many phases of industrial and CONNER
