There ought not to be any opposition TO the
employment Of conviCts at useful trades. but
uTder no consideration should their work be
instrumental in lowering the wages. be the
means Of throwing out Of employment
and women, be the cause Of closing down
Of any industries The only and proper way
to obviate this is-if the convlcts are leased
out 10 manufacturing frms-to let the State
demand the same wage system for the conHicts
as IS being paid to free labor. The State then
could deduct from the money received from
the work of each convict what would pay
for his maintenance in prison. and what ia
left over to be given to the mans wife and
children. or other dependents he may have.
If the man has no dependents then this sur
pplu9 could be placed in a bank against that
time when he shall gain his freedom. If It Is
coming to him. II the convict happens TO he
a litter without dependents, suitable dis
position Of his extra money could be made
where it would do the most good for the
fortunate man.
Convtcts most certainly ought to be put to
work at some kind Of useful employment, not
only to help pay back something to the State

employed, idle minds are breeders Of dis

TT Is COMING.

when the people plead for greater navy We
will have It, and not till then" said Secretary
Of the Navy Daniels IN an address the other
night.
And when the people Of the world plead for
no navies, Mr.. Secretary there will be no navies.
The time has not come when we can do with
out navles and armies because the time has not
come when the people of all the nations have
reached the point Of demanding disarmament,
but the tendency In all countries is In that di.
rection rather than toward a bigger navy and
stronger army That tendency may not be
apparent Just now IN Germany and Great Britain,
but It is because tho growing sentiment against
the enormous waste involved In defensive prep
aration and the growing sentiment against war
has not yet found full expression, But it Is
coming, Brother Daniels; It is coming.

The majority sentiment of Bristol, Virginia is

Indiana limestone trimming and slate

for about forty students. Some Of the
rooms are single, but there are also a
number Of suites of three rooms each.
These last are TO be occupied by two
students, each having its own bed

Of the entire dormitory system. two

Mr.. Frank A. Rommel, an architect Of
Philadelphia. 1t is in thorough keep

several years ago providing for the
entire system of buildings likely to

years to come. 1t is a matter for con-
gratulation that the college has been
able TO proceed so rapidly with the

this plan In addition to the Com

was completed two years ago, and dur
ing the same summer the first three
sections of the dormitory. These with
the new building now going up have
an aggregate length of about 450 feet
1t is something OF revelation to the
student of five years ago to come back
and note the changes that have taken
place. All the old buildings il is true
except the venerable dining hail. are
still intact. but these serve now merely
as the Introduction TO the new and
more imposing group that stands some
distance to the north The most strik-
ing difference. however. Is not one of
size. In contract to the old the new
buildings have architectural conss-
tency. and are built so solidly that they
should be practically as good fifty
years from now as they are today
The contract calls for the compile
tion of the dormitory sections de-
scribed above in time for the opening
Of the new session this fall.
