ENFORCING THE VAGRANT LAW

A sleepv negro man was in the
dock of the Police Court OF this city
this morning to answer the charge OF
.defvinp the vagrancy law. He had
been arrested last week for Idle
ness, and was released with the as
srrance that should he fail to OBJ
tain employment by twelve O'Clock
that day he would be arrested ana
sent to jail for a long term, thus
!: making him eligible for work upon
the roads. The darkey failed 10
carry and obey the the order OF the
court, and was rearrested. Ills
mother was present this morning and
Mead for him, but her protestatlonS
made No impression upon the court.
and the mother, claiming tina her OIL
: spring was but eighteen years old,
was told that she must find him en-
ployment during the next forty-eight
hours, or the accused would he sent
to Jail for six months, subject 10
work upon the roads.
1t may be suggested that the VISITS
of road guards to the Alexandra
jail are few and far between. There
were gathered III the Police Court
room this morning about a dozen
white men, as many negro men and
fourteen or fifteen negro women.
During these busy times, whep lab
orers are at premium. it seems
that the bulk of this gathering, but
few Of whom were witnesses, could
find profitable employment were they
"a Geek it. So far but few whites
have been arraigned under the VaG-
rant act.
Maryland is utilizing jail birds by
placing them at work upon the public
roads.
The success Of our sister states
experiment in thus employing convlcts
is assured. The system has worked
out in other states to the benefit OF
the convicts as well as to the states
economy. 1t is a healthful occupa-
ton for the prisoners, rs 1t affords
them breath of fresh air and d
relief from prison walls. Hard work
making roads makes them stronger
and better prisoners and takes the
kinks out of the lazy ones. Hard
work is a sort of beneficial punish
nent. A state road in Hartford coun-
ty is the first road in Maryland on
which the experiment Is being tried,
but Governor Harrington has inform
ed the State Road Commission that
lac desires TO see this plan OF utilizing
convicts extended throughout the
state. By putting the prisoners at
such work as repairing the roadheds
the labor heretofore so employed can
be kept busy on the farms. where it
is so much needed.
The employment of prison lahor in
road repair work is in line with the
general policy of labor conservation.
Every man in the rural districts
WHO can do farm work is needed in
that line. BY putting the hundreds
OF convicts and prisoners on road
work the state will save money and
conserve The better class of labor for
agricultural development.

United States Makes Representa-

Washington. June 25.-Firm, but
friendly representations to Mexico
against new high taxes in the Tam
pico oil fields and other representa-
lions against the socaIled "denation-
alization" Of foreign companies, have
been made to the Carranza govern
ment by the United States govern

Britain is understood to have seconded
the representations against the oil
taxes, though whether she took the
course of sending note to Carranza
is not known. The taxation repre-.
sensations, entirely friendly in tone.
but quite insistent upon change, seek
to lower taxes which many oil men
now regard as almost confscatorv.
