CONNECTS ON THE ROADS,

For many years the Times -Repub-
lican has urged the employment oe
convicts on the highways. not only of
convicts sentenced TO the penitentiaries
but three months men from the ja;is
and has urged that a large class of
disorderlies and ordinarily worthless
persons be rendered amenable TO road
labor on sentences of six months with
parole at the end of a three months
service, sort Of tickle, of leave good
during good behavior. 1t is pleased
therefore. to quote from the Louisville
Courier Journal thus:
Bad roads and had schools make
convicts. Why shouldn't convicts make
good roads. making it easier for chill
dref to get to school, and making it
possible to consolidate schools and i'm
prove the child's opportunities for Sc
curing an education?
The Times Republican has urged the
beneficial effect of out door labor as
part of reformatory process. The
state highway engineer OF North Caro-
lima. where convicts are thus employed,
in IN article in a southern periodical
shows how road building in his state
has been successfully accomplished
with convict labor, and expresses the

ac.iy the correct thing when he ap-
pointed LATE Young to tie United
