Ono of tho things that Govornor iChambcrlaln has do'no that ho can point to with prlilo is tho construction of :flvo miles of good highway by tho uso of convict labor. Bomo road was built under tho two preceding governors, but not nenrly so .much ns under Govornor Chnmborlaln. ' It Is a common prnctico in many tate to build highways leading out 'from tho stato prison with tho labor of trusty 'convicts. iTlicro will bo fifty tp sovonty-flvo convicts whoso lnbor can bo employed an this way under nlmust any adminis tration. It YHl lio posisblo to build toil or fcwonty miles of such highways each year out of tho cnpltal with convict la bor. WHY NOT BUILD IT.? VTho stnto owns bind abutting on miles .01 thoso stroels and roads. Tho stnto cannot bb taxed to improve such roads and streets. Tho stnto has heavy hauling to do over thoso roads and streets, and should liavo onough prldo to build such roads in n creditable mannor. This pnpor doei not objoct to Gov ernor Chamberlain covoring himself with a little inoro glory in building room roads with eonvlct labor. JACKSON COUNTY POLITICS. For some months W. T.

Tho first annual address in tho Bar Ijaru Wolnatock leeturosldp, Universi ty of California, was delivered by Dr. Xtymuu Abbott, nnd is now published by Paul Klder nd company. It Is an bloraddros, torao, and eplgroinatlo ud, imbued with practical idcala for Imnhu'sa life, will havo a wido lnflu-1 enco beyond the cducaHonnlcjrcles for which It was originally Intended. Tho following) selections can best' show its Jarqualiltbs: &1.

"From tho standpoint of tho Intel loctual interest of the young mini going Into business, let It bo borno in mind that there are scientific principles un derlying overy branch of trade or com merco or industry, nnd that thero is almost, if, not qulto, as much room for the delightful play of tho faculty of Imagination in tho successful conduct of a soap business as In writing pootry or In 'ranking statuary groups for world's fairs. "The cultivation of public spirit In tho broad sonso, and the determination tj bo an all-round good nnd efficient citizen and member of tho community, will often help . a man amazingly to discern tho opportunities for useful ness that lio In tho direct lino of his business work.

"It is tho positive and agressivo at titude toward life, the ethics of notion, rather than tho .ethics of nogatlon, that must control tho modern business world, and thnt may mnko our modorn business man the most potent factor for'gooiVin this, his own, ' industrial po'riod." , ', "" SHORT-SIOHTED POLICY.
