OHIO CONVICTS AND ROADS.

The safe of Ohio has beer making an
experiment in road building by con
victs. Some thirty convicts from the
state p%enitentiary have been building a
mile of highway near Columbus and the
results are said to be highly satisfac-
tory.
The mile of road on which the con
victs have been engaged must be some
what on the order Of the Biblical coat
of many colors. Various .orms of con
struction are being tried and the results
as to endurance and comparison of cost
are expected to be of great value when
the state enteres upon road building on
a large scale. The state highway COM
missioner is in charge OF the work and
he is trying brick road, asphalt block
and several kinds of concrete and bi-
luminous coatings. The next lcgisla-
turc will be asked to pass a law provid-
ire for the extensive use of convicts Oh
the highways.
According to a Columbus special it is
recognized that in order for such work
to he economical the prisoners must lie
worked under the "honor system If
tbs were not the casc the cOse Of
guards would he likely to exceed the
value of the prisoners labor. Prison Of
ticials believe they can hold escapes to
a minimum under the "honOr system"
They have experinced no trouble with
the thirty men who have been at work
OH the experimental highway. Though
some of the prisoners are described as
.murderers and gunmen~ they have
STAYED with the job" and no II Of
them has made an attempt to escape.
Whether the 'hOnOr system could be
depended upon III a larger body of con
yicts may admit some doubt in view of
recent occurrences in the West and
elsewhere. 1t seems at least question
able if the plan could be successfully
applied in the case of a road working
crew of several hundred prisoners which
necessarily would include many desper-
ate characters. If the convicfs can be
employed economically on the highways.
with proper safeguards. it is manifestly
better for both the state and the prison
arS than to hire put their labor under
the obnoxious leasing system.-Cincin-
natl Enquirer.

TECHNICAL PLEAS LOSE
STANDING.

"A New Jersey lawyer tried the other
day to have the Indictment against his
client dropped on the plea that there
| was a fatal flaw in the wording. The
charge was that the defendant did viii
fully kill and murder a woman. C0un-
sci insisted that the Indictment was de-
~fective in that no crime was charged.
Murder" he said, was an old English
game of ball and not indictable. The
Judge looked up several cases bearing on
the motion and finally made a COMMON
sense ruling that the prosecuting attor-
ney be permitted to make the correction.
In another case at Washington, ID. C..
counsel for a prisoner accused of the
theft of a pair of trousers protested that
the information charged him with steal
ing a pair of pants co%ntending that
there was not such word legally, since it
should either have been trousers or
%pantaloOns. The court sensibly rejected
the argument, holding that trousers was
merely the technical name for what he
and the lawyer had wOrn while boys.
Anyway, he did no think there was any
serious danger of any one failing to
known what was meant and pants was
accordingly legalized.
| t $ encouraging to find the bench re-
pudiating absurd technicalities like
these and others. 1t marks distinct
progress from the stand of a supreme
court justice who dismissed a proceed
ings for a misplaced comma. 1t has al
ways been a puzzle to the lay mind why
phraseology that anybody could under
stand is so incomprehensible to legal
sticklers.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

RHODE ISLAND-Wlson leads i'm

SOUT HDAKOTA-There is no lei
up in the war between Taft and Roose-

various newspapers.
UTAH-The fact that a faction of
the Mormon church is openly ~criticiz-
ing President Taft for his attitude to-
wards the church in Mexico, leads demo-
cratic leaders to feel that the chances
are even for winning the state for the
democratic ticket.
VERMONT-The situation is still
problemtaical. Roosevelt has been los
ing ground rapidly, while Taft is prac-
%tically holding his own and Wilson add
ing new strength daily.
WASHINGTON - Taft is leading
Roosevelt, who is a poor third. There
has been decided change in the demo
cratic situation during the past fort

WILSON AND TAFT.

The most important duty confronting
the republicans of Kansas is to keep
the states electoral vote from going to
Wilson. Ey0y Taft vote should be
pollcd for the republican ticket. Even
those who think Taft has no chance in
Kansas should vote for him. Under no
circumstances should a republican vote
be cast for Wilson. The defeat Of
Roosevelt i'll Kansas is desirable, but it
is not nationally important. The con-
test is between Taft and Wilson, and
the fight must be made on that line;
Roosevelt is a minor consideration.
Kansas could not possibly make Roose-
welt president, but it might make Will
son president. That is the calamity
that must be cOmbattcd. The republi-
can national managers urge iAat the
fight be centred on Wilson, and they
know what they are talking about

WHOLE COUNTRY FOR WILSON
AND MARSHALL.

Reports vert received recently at
democratic headquarters in New York
from seventeen states, giving the situa-
ton as vas found by national commit
teemen, state chairmen and other demo
cratic leaders. The reports from the
various representatives to National
Chairman William T. McCoombs are
practically unanimous in agreeing Oh
democratic victory.
Reports will be received from other
states from day to day. The following
is the summary as reported to demo
cratic national headquarters:
NEW HAMPSHIRE - The straw
Yates, as reported in republican papers,
indicate Wilson in the lead. New
Hampshire is the fighting ground for
all three candidates, with Roosevelt
lelnning third.
NEW JERSEY-During the past ten
days Governor Wilson has been making
steady gains. which will only increase
his already indicated large majority.
New Jersey is absolutely safe for vii.
son and Marshall.
NEW MEXICO-By a clear majority
Wilson holds the lead i'll this state.
Roosevelt and Debs are having a tight
race Tor third place. Indications are
that Taft will secure about 80 per cent
of the republican vote, the rest being
divided about equally between Wilson,
Roosevelt and DebS.
NEW YORK-AIl reports from New
York state indicate strongly that Gov
ernor Wilson and Congressman Sulzer
will receive an upstate vote that will
bring them TO New York city with not
less han $4,000 majority. Governor
Wilson has been making gains upstate
as well as i'll New York city during the
past week.
NORTH DAKOTA-Wilson has beer
holding the democratic vote in this
state and has been masking gains. ac-
cording to telegraphic advices during
the past week. Taft is leading Roose-
welt in North Dakota.
OHIO-Wilson is maintaining prac-
.tically a double lead over his nearest
competitor. Taft. Gov. Cox il sure of
election by the largest vote ever given !;
democratic candidate for governor. Gov
crnor Wilson is also sure of receiving
the largest vote ever given a democratic
candidate for president. The most CON
sentative estimates give The democratic
ticket a majority from 100000 on up to
$50. 900.
OKLAHOMA - Republicans are SO
seriously divided that Governor Wilson
is having no competition i'll this state:
even with the republicans united. vii
son would carry the state by q safe
majority.
OREGON-While this state favored
Roosevelt at the primaries as over Taft,
Wilson has been making such remark

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER, /. 1912.
A DISTINCTION AND A DIFFER
ENCE.

Let us keep a steady mind iii the dis
cussion of this matter of the high cost
of living. That is TO say, let us not turn
down the wrong alley and become
switched off into another and entirely
different road. Let us not. in short,
.confound the higher scale of living with
the higher cost of living. The two
questions are by no means Identical
not even closely related.
1t is quite true that our scale of liv-
ing i'm Texas is much higher han that
OF our pioneer ancestors or predecessors.
1t perhaps costs us more to live because
we are willing to spend more to live. 1t
costs the banker more to live than it
costs his washcrwoman, because his
scale of living is higher. Yet in another
sense it costs her more to live than her
employer. because the cost of what she
buys represents a greater percentage of
her income.
Our ancestors had no electric lights,
telephones and hydrantS; yet the Qucs-
ton of whether we shall lave them is
simply a question of whether we can af-
ford to have them. The higher cost of
living is an entirely different matter.
That is a question of whether we pay
more for the things we must havc-the
things which constitute the bare neces-
saries of life. The question of whether
Mr.. A. hrs a telephone in his house or
not, does not affect for him the actual
price of beef, & bread and butter ill
the market. The fact that Mr.. AS
grandfather wore h%omespun, while A
himself wears something more expen-
sive,, is by no means to be COMPOUNDED
with the fact, that no matter what he
wears he pays a bigger price for the
goods he now wears than he once paid
for the same fabrics. Perhaps AS sal
airy is higher now than it used to be;
but that also is another question. The
real issue is whether A can buy more
or less with a dollar than he once could.
and whether the rise in his salary has
kept pace with the rise IN boots, shoes,
blankets, poultry, beef. eggs and canned
goods. There is a distinction between
the higher scale of living and the higher
cost of living; and the distinction repre-
sents a difference which should be kept
well in mind.
