Against the Lease System.

A committee is being formed at Mem.
phis to take up the question Of convict
labor with the Governor and the Legis-
lature OF Tennessee.
The citizens OF Memphis who are be-
hind the movement have found no def
mite plan for the employment OF the
convicts. They are, however, strongly
opposed to the continuation OF the lease
system, and as some of the convicts'
terms are about to expire they believe
the time appropriate for devising better
plans for working the States prisoners.
In circular to the public the pro-
motors Of the movement declare that
the convict lease system is unfair to
legitimate manufacturers and dealers,
to the community at large, to the la
boring people and to the convicts them
selves. Manufacturers and dealers, it
is asserted, are forced to compete with
convict labor produced goods, and the
product OF the prisons unsettles prices
OF legitimate articles of trade by unfair
competition. Convict labor is unfair to
the community, because, while the
convicts are a public charge, it places
them at the disposal of private inter
ests, at an unfair remuneration, instead
of putting tkem on public works where
their days labor results to the public
good. 1t is unfair to the laboring ele-
ment because the idea OF the lease sys-
tenn being to make the convicts self
sustaining, by it they become self-sus-
tanning at the expense only Of the work.
ing people, whom they force out Of en-
ployment at miserable wage"
Lastly, 1t is declared that the system
is unfair to the conyicts, since they do
not become skilled laborers in any craft,
BIZ. enly specialists in certain lines for
which there is no demand where they
are again thrown on their own resources
and become free Iaborers-in fact, they
are but parts Of a great human machine,
each performing bis work, and are USE
less for that work when detached from
the machine. =

ment is now being commended for its
invaluable work in behalf Of interna-
tionai peace. The hope that the prin-
ciples OF The Hague shall endure in
stead OF being lost in the European
maelstrom lies in the efforts 1T men
like Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Wilson. No
secretary OF state in all the nations his
tory has had such constructive policy
for permanent peace as Mr.. Bryan, and
under no administration have as many
peace treaties been negotiated and rat
flied as under the present. The World
pretends to be for international peace,
yet it would pull down Mr.. Bryan out
OF his most useful Office at time when
he is doing most for the world.
There are other reasons for the
Worlds attacks, and they will be known
sooner or later. The World has always
fought him. and despite its despicable
attacks, bis principles have won. 1t
has renewed its attacks recently because
it was seen that Mr.. Bryan was advocat-
ing other great reforms. The people
may be deceived for little while by
such articles in reactionary papers, but
the light will finally break on them, and
Mr.. Bryan will be greater in their eyes
than before
Few people will be deceived by the
attacks that are now being made on
Mr.. Bryan. It is SO plain that the
scheme is in resentment OF Mr., Bryan's
pronounced views on Prohibition those
people who have looked to the Ne
braskan for leadership in progressive
policies And principles will still look to
him and have faith in him, for the
American people have seen him at the
end OF twenty years struggle triumph
over the reactionaries that are now as
sailing him. They have seen him Crap
pie with the same element in the past.
They have seen him defeated by them,
but not conquered or discouraged. They
have seen him battle on from year to
year, and at the last, in the face of a
most audacious reactionary conspiracy,
write his views and convictions into the
