BUILDING GOOD ROADS

More than 80 counties in Ken
lucky are actually at work building
roads under state supervision and
with state aid. Twenty other coun.
ties have asked for and been grant
ed such aid and are now preparing
to begin work. The statewide road
building movement is on in earnest.
and il is here to stay.
At the two penitentiaries, at
Frankfort and EddyYille. there are
1000 men conyicts. A large pro
portion OF that number are ply
sically capable OF working on tue
roads. Instead OF being SO worked,
they are let out TO prison con
tractors al ~ annual loss IL the
state.
Al the coming election. u Co1sIi-
tutionai anne ndment ~ work the con.
yicts on the roads is to be voted on.
1t has been twice submitted by the
General Assembly and once adopt
ed by the people. That adoption
was HulIIhcu W lailuiS W auN''
t,se the amendment within the pre-
scIibed 80 days. The necessary adj
Nertising has now been done. The
whole question is in the hands OF
the voters, and both political par
ties have declared for adoption
in theis state platforms.
The prison contractor is opposed
to adoption II will put an end to
his profits. Organized labor is n
unit on wanting to see the amend
ment adopted II will put an end
to convict competition with free
labor. 1t will put men at work on
the roads where there is now a
scarcity OF labor.
In the state OF Virginia, il was
found that convict labor effected a
saving OF $500 a mile in the cost
OF building roads. In score OF
other states. where this labor is
used, il has been demonstrated that
roads can be built with contract
labor at hslr the cost OF free labor
Convict labor on the roads has
proved good for the state aud good
Tor the convict Il has helped him
ply sicslly and morally IL has. In
many instances, restored him 10
good citize'. ship, and convict re-
stored to good citizenship is an
asset a convict released to follow
\ life OF crime is a liability.
II Kentucky wants the advantages
that come from convict labor on
the roads. all that will be necessary

ment II keEtucky prefers to let
the prison contractor get richer at
her expense BY continuing In effect

But the voter who goes to the
polls and fails TO vote on the amend
ment will overlook AN opportunity
TO do his county and the state good

to it a great marble slab commemorate ing the death of a rooster This last was carved with the bas relief of a crow ing cock, which made me thing of the play "Chanticleer," and 1t evidently re- sembled the game bird which lies buried below The cemetery has also a statue of Brer Rabbit. It represents the cum ming animal in stone standing on a block and pointing 10 slab at his back upon which is engraved the word ''Silencio." The rabbit stands with his fingers on his nose and his ears toward the skies. The bunny whose life he commemorates Is buried below and I see by the inscription that he died just 1b years from the date of my writing.
 In addition to these resorts Is the Prado. a great park on the outskirts of the town. II has extensive lawns and trees, with beds of flowers and shady walks and drives. This park Is rolling and the land scape gardeners have taken advantage of the subtropical climate to give 1t both the temperate and tropical trees. II has lofty palms. feathery hamboos and flow ing shrubs of many varieties. There are lotus flowers upon the lakes and you may walk or ride for miles about through the green, finding new beauties at every step or turn of the wheel
 Near the most of the parks are beanti ful villas surrounded by gardens, and there are long streets of fine residences. some of which cost as much as a rich mans house in the states The architec- ture of the city is in general after that of the Spanish, but many of the new buildings are French or rather European in style
 The business parts of Montevideo are composed of buildings of two and three stories. There are no skyserapers and few very large structures. Outside and in the poorer quarters there are many one story houses and not a few large story buildings built around pa tios Many of the houses are made of stones quarried nearby. Some are of brick covered with stucco and painted in the brightest of colors. The public buildings are of good size and the same is true of the theatres. The Soils thea . tators and it has an area of almost two acres. It was built more than 40 years ago and among those who have played or sung in it are Sarah Bern hardt, Patti. Caruso and others.

Such events bring very high prices and the dressing Is even more elaborate than that at the American houses. Every man in the orchestra circle will have on white kid gloves in addition to the ordinary dress suit and the women all wear evening gowns and. their necks and heads
