Mississippi is going to have convention the
object Of which is to formulate and put into
effect some plan to induce immigration The
convention has ben called by Governor Noel
and it Is to be serious affair Many farmers
in the West are pulling up stakes and moving
to Canada and Mississippi is trying to induce
them to change their course and move South
ward.
1t is wise endeavor and Virginia would do
WELL we think, to try similar plan. We have
much more land lying idle than we have under
cultivation and our prices are still very low IN
many sections. Considering the high price OF
farm poducts and the arousement in the inter
est of agriculture, it is inexplicable and dis
tressng to ride along the railroads of Virginia
and see the miles and miles Of waste lands,
which do not produce enough to pay taxes 1t
is situation that reflects not only upon our
enterprise, but upon our common sense

Justice Crutchfield is quite right in ruling that
q five-dollar note is not an unreasonable tender
for street car fare and that it is up to the con-
ductor to make change. For conductor to put
passenger off his car in the rain because he
cannot change the note, especially when the
passenger is willing to purchase twenty-five
cents worth of tickets seems to to be most
unreasonable, to say the least.
But this ruling" is based in the presump-
ton, of course that the tender is made in good
faith and that the passenger has smaller note
on his person. 1t passenger has the change
and tenders large note merely to embarrass the
conductor, or save has fare, he ought to be eject
ed, of course, and if so, he would not get much
consideration in the court Of John the Just

Practical Craftsmanship.

The New Orleans Picayume advises the Legis-
lature of Louisiana not to approve the proposed
Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States and adopts as its argument the
brief of Mr. Richard f. Byrd of Virginia, Mr..
Byrd's missionary work in this direction seems
to be far-reaching
But the Picayumc takes sentimental view
of the subject States IS rights it says do not
count for as much in the extreme South as they
once did but there are still rights worth preserv-
ing" The strongest argument, in the view Of
that practical contemporary, is the necessity OF
protecting the State bonds of Louisiana from
Uncle Sans tax gatherers. We have contended
all along that the real objection to the income
tax amendment was not sentimental, but mat
ter of dollars and cents:

n Colorado is said to be leading in making
Bpod roads with convict labor, and, If we may
take the penitentary wardens word for it,

proving the character of its convicts.
Ii According to reports recently made pub
IN last summer 40 per cent of the Colorado
a1onvirts were worked outside the prison walls.

maintenance of each prisoner employed is esti-
xiated at thirty-six cents. The counties in
Khich the roads are built pay this cost, less the

INintain them in the prison, abut twelve cents

ND for each month of road work ten days are
Jfbstractcd from the term of Imprisonment in

The Central Labor Union of Philadelphia is
to be enlisted more actively as body in the
fight against tuberculosis. The labor organi-
cations throughout the country have done their
full share in helping along all movements in
the interest of health. They have been es-
pecially active and influential in securing bet
ter sanitary measures for factories and other
places where labor is employed. We regard
its activities in this direction as one of the
greatest reforms it has accomplished

this institution. ,,
That merely strengthens the argument In
favor of employing convicts in road building.
1t is the most valuable work that they can per-
form. 1t is work that does not put them In COM
petition with free labor. 1t is work that best
preserves the health of the convict, and while
we have no sentimentality on this score, We do
think that when the State deprives man OF
his liberty it should endeavor to preserve his
health, while he is in its custody. Moreover 1T
is clearly in the interest of the State to en-
deavor to reclaim every such convict and turn
him into good citizen. Any system that tends
to help the health and morals of convicts is
system that commends itself, and when public
utility is added, the system is about as good
as human ingenuity can devise
