coNvIcTs FOR RoADMAKING.

Both houses OF the Kansas legisla-
ture have passed bill to authorize
the employment OF convicts on roads
and public highways of the state. For
several years the states prisoners
have been used, by special permits
sion of the legislature, in making
roads near the Leavenworth peniten-
tiary, and the Legislators from Leav-
enworth county opposed the bill for
extension of the system to other coun-
ties, giving fine example of how
selfish local interests may oppose a
measure for widespread public bene-
fit.
On general consideration there
seems no work for which convicts
can better be used than roadmaking
In Colorado gangs of TRUSTEES" are
successfully put to work on the roads,
and there is nothing disagreeable to
the public in their presence there.
Prisoners of vicious nature or serving
long sentences probably should not be
so employed, but they are few. Road
making is open-air work, and prison.
ers reasonably employed at it should
gain health and vigor. There is no
competition with skilled trades in road
making, and every state needs bet
ter highways. Favor for the en-
ployment of convicts on roads is bound
to increase as each trial shows the
benefits derived from such work.-Chi-
cago Record Herald.
