Farm Employment for Criminals.

Gov. Harris of Ohio believes tina.
criminals can be employed on farm
with advantage to themselves and the
state. He proposes that prisoners in
the peniteDtiary who are not con.
frmed criminals be transferred to the
reformatory and put to work on the
state farm. 1T is the conditions OF
our cities that breed crime says the
governor. Most of 1t can he traced
to .idleness and drink, and idleness is
frequently the cause of drink. There
Is little drink in the country and prac
