Governor Chamberlain is de­
serving of commendation for the
step he has taken in having good
roads built around the state house
property by the convicts confined
at the penitentiary. It is an inno­
vation that could be well followed
in various parts of the state with­
out injury to the honest working
people and with great benefit to
the general public, says the Guard.
No one believes that the convicts
should he permitted to live lives
of ease without any hard work to
do—that would suit the prisoners
too well—and many of them
would be only too glad to gel
back again after their terms had
expired in order to have an easy
time; but the practice that has
been in vogue for years of rent­
ing the convict labor out to con­
tractors is a shame and a disgrace
to the state. Under the present
system the convicts are brought
into direct competition with the
/laborers vs ho endeavor to earn an
honest living. And the contrac­
tor who hires their labor is ena­
bled, because he gets the labor
cheap, to undersell their compet­
itors who employ honest labor
and pay honest wages for it.
O, Almighty Dollar, our ac­
knowledged governor, preserver
and benefactor, we desire to ap­
proach thee on this and every
oilier occasion with the reverence
which is due of superior excell*
ence and the regard which shall
ever be cherished for exalted
greatness.
Almighty Dollar,
without thee in the world we can
do nothing, but with thee we can
do all things When sickness lays
its paralyzing hands upon us thou
cans! provide for us the tenderest
of nurses and skilled physicians,
and when the last struggle of
mortality is over and we are being
borne to the resting place of the
dead, thou cansl provide a band
of music and a military escort y>
accompany us thither, and last
but not least, erect a magnificent
monument over our grave with a
living epitaph to perpetuate our
memory. And while herein the
“misfortunes and temtations of
hie, we perhaps are accused of
crime and brought before magis­
trates; thou Almighty Dollar,
canst secure us a seedy lawyer, a
bribed judge and a packed jury —
and we go scot free.
‘•Almighty Dollar be with us,
we pray thee, in all my decimal
parts, thou art the only one to-
gether lovely, and the chief one
among ten thousands. In thy ab­
sence how gloomy is the house­
hold, and how desolate the hearth­
stone. O, Almighty Dollar, thou

tion is to be carried, thou art the
