PRISONERS AND ROAD WORK.

The movement to have Federal prisoners iron southern penitentiaries work Alaska roads i: worthy of very serious consideration It is contendec by physicians and wardens that work in the oper air is beneficial to the health and morale of pris- oners It is admittedly difficult to find Federal work in the States where the prison labor would be available In Alaska, those who favor the proposal believe it would be different. There roads needed everywhere, and it is the province of the Federal Government to build them
 It is contended that it would not in anywise affect the appropriations from Congress or through the Federal Highway Aid Act, but would mean that much additional work It is also said by those prison officials and others who are interested in the matter that the Government would not send dangerous or long-term convcts to Alaska It would they say pick men from among those who volun- teer for the work who would have inducement to break jail and those who come would be returned to the penitentiary from which they were selected before being discharged The prisoners, it is con- tended would not compete in any way with work ingmen or free labor They would do work that otherwise would not be done.
 In the end, this is a matter that ought to be passed upon by road builders and technical men The Empire does not profess to have the knowledge or information that would make it competent judge of what ought to be done in the premises but it seems very clear that it is something that ought not to be turned down without thorough consideration from those who informed in the premises

Prince Rupert's Importance.
(London Times.)

Prince Rupert, the principal port the Northern Coast of British Columbia, also possesses a com modious harbor.
 The city iteslf is the northern teminus of the Canadian National Railways and an extensive sal mon and haibut fishing industry is located there indeed, Prince Rupert is said to be the greatest halibut port of the Pacific.
 The Skeena River, which enters the ocean a few miles south of the city is the most productive salmon river the Pacific Coast. A dozen can neres are located the Skeena River and as many more adjacent to it's mouth Large shipments of lumber, poles, railway seepers silver gold blis- ter copper, shingles, fish and fur are made through its port, which is considered the natural outlet for the products of the vast Peace River country, now being developed. The harbor and contiguous waters absolutely clear ice and floes at all times.
 There are no dangerous currents and no fog and navigation is never impeded by weather conditions Within the natural harbor there eight wharves and a drydock with capacity of 10000 tons and length of 600 feet modern grain elevator of l,2500O0 bushels capacity has bene constructed by the Dominion Government in anticipation of the growth of an important export trade from this port.

SINCLAIR LEWIS AND SOCIALISM

Because he is said to have declared in speech that Europe is turning toward Socialism and if the United States proceeded along her capitalstic way the Socialists will sometime crush the country, newspapers calling Sinclair Lewis the famous writer, a Socialist and otherwise soundly berating him. Mir Lewis would have to go a lot further than he is accused of going in the aforementioned speech to convince those who have read his books that he is a Socialist He is realist (when not a humorisD and "debunker," but in of his writing coming under our observation does he indi- cate that he is a Socialist. The foibes of the Socialists seem to be just as desirable to him for targets queer quirks and curiosities from any other source. If he is a Socialist so Fske and Spencer and so are Mencken and Eaton.
 Possibly got Sinclair Lewis and Upton Sinclair confused There is doubt about the latters Socialism. He is prideful and boastful in it.

A Generous Gift.
(NeW York Times.l

When a purely partisan move in the game of politics is at the time a stroke in the public interest politicians who make it feel very vrtuous An occasion of the sort is reported from Wyoming where the Democratic State Committee has acted to insure the heightened tenure of Republican the newly appointed Senator Sullivan Under the terms of law passed in 1927, he must win his seat at special election to be held soon even though success will give title only until March 1881 The committee has petitioned the Legislature to repeal this law and let MT. Sullivan serve until a successor is chosen next November
 The reason given by the Democrats is that the special election would add to the already heavy tax puIuehs or the citizens of Wyoming. The committee IS Willing to waive any chance it's own candidate Hngnt nave to defeat MT. Sullivan at the special eectlon and reserve its efforts for next November
 Cynlcs may say that the Democrats couldn't win II the special election held and that there lore their gesture is hollow But so handsome Q g1t horse should be inspected in that spirit and if IS to be hoped that the Legislature will accent t,a suggestion The only reason the special election ,aw a exists IS because Democrat was Governor in l92i, when Senator Warren was ill and if was mace eu to prevent Democratic appointment

SWIMMING By Mary Graham Bonner

By Mary Graham Bonner
 John and Peggy had immensely enjoyed the trip to see Winter They thought of him now wander
 Ing all over his home which coy- cred so much space, and they were glad he had stayed in one spo; long enough to talk to them and play with them and invite them to his ball
 They felt splendid after the visis with him and didn't wonder at all that he considered his kind of weather so very healthy, but the Little Black Clock was smiling about lsomething else when they met him Tagain.
 I'm turning the time back to last summer" the Little Black Clock said "The sudden, the very sud- l den change, will do you no harm, because on my adventures and with my magic no harm can come to you
 "Seel"
 And to the great surprise of the children the Little Black Clock turned the time back so that t was a warm summer afternoon and they were beside a lake
 We never thought you could do this" the children told the Little Black Clock.
 We knew you could do almost anything--bu to be able to turn the time back to summer right after we've actually been visiting Winter in his own season seems so very wonderful"
 The Little Black Clock smiled.
 Well, I've brought you bathing suits, and it's very warm now back in the summer time-so you'd better go swimming"
 It was lovely swimming, then sitting in the sunshine, then swim ming again?
 WOulull WdHC tlleIe CO ue Just one season." said John. T guess like it the way it is, for some times think like swimming bet ter than anything and then I think like coasting better than any thing. What are you doing now, Little Black Clock?"
 The clock was about to start off again.
