The convict labor problem is
easy Of solution. Convicts should
not be farmed to private corpor-
atoms to compete with free labor,
nor should there be institutions
established where goods may be
manufactured by convicts to
compete with honest manufact-
urers who do not enjoy such adj
vantages in the way of procuring
labor for nothing but room rent
and board. But there is field
of usefulness for the convict, a
field where little competition ex-
lists, and where there is plenty
to do-the building of good state
roads. West Coast Trade.

smothered out by numerical pre-
dominance the permanence of
caste might be counted on as a
calculable factor. The slave sys-
tenn in America was doomed to
destruction because the slave ell
ement was not sufficiently num-
erous to support the entire white
populatirn. Even in the South
there were only 100000 slave
holders, who controlled 1000, 600
slaves, leaving 100000 whites
practically on the level with Ne
gro bondmen, a condition which
could only exist until the non
slave holding class became con-
scious of their condition. The
free laborer Of the north was the
first to awake to consciousness
of the fact that he was made the
competitor of slave labor, con-
dition which he resented and re-
sisted to the bitter end. The
overthrow of slavery was due to
economic as we'll as moral and
philanthropic causes. 1t is i'm
possible to regulate the Negro to
any status without at the same
time affecting a sufficient num-
Der of white men to make up the
full quota of that status. Any
degradation placed upon the Ne
gro laborer must react upon
white Workmen of the same
grade. The caste system in
America is bound to fail, not SO
much from humanitarian consid-
erations as because it lacks a
sufficient physical basis upon
which to rest. Professor Kelly
Miller of Howard University.
