Inspection of the Stute Farm for . sStVh ts proves how practical are the results achieved with men who are nut able to stand the close confinement of I prison life in the old sense. On this I farm nt present are i't convicts. They are not a charge upon the oommuntiy, but are actually adding to the common : wealth by their labor power. They sup i port themselves by the sale of farm ' products raised by their own work. In addition, it is reported that with s-urpius income a MB cellhouse is be i lug built, also by the labor of the prisoners The material Is thus fur ! nished at no cost to the State. In ad? dition to the cellhouse. a concrete cow BlBSd and dairy has been built. This j report of work accomplished by men who are Judged physically unlit only ( emphasizes the more what could be I done by healthy, strong men under proper State supervision. If public . sentiment had not already practically pronounced the doom of the contract labor system, the cold arguments of ouch economics would be convincing. ! .Once more we call attention to the iduty Kiclimond owes city prisoners, and i the community at large, of providing 'a city farm on which delinquents can j be used nt healthful outdoor work I for their own support, and incidentally j to contribute to the support of other i city institutions. The present system \ Of confinement Is a waste both of ' money and of the possibilities latent I j in the delinquents themselves. Why | \ should Hichtnond support men who are ' ' aide to support themselves? Why J should Richmond deny to these unfor ' lunate products of social maladjust? ment and h.-ul environment the BBBBlId i ing discipline of hard work under fnv orabls conditions? How much longer' will Richmond persist in sending out from jail men who have been weak? ened physically and morally by Idle? ness and confinement, instead of "men in whom new aspirations and new strength have been stimulated by the greatest of all medicines?work?

Yet the chanc? for a great state paper, a vital statement of th- MOW principles of democracy, was never mure Inviting. Mr. Wilson may appoint almost any of a number of men to his official family and make no mistake, for the average result will be ah.iut the same, no matter what combination he chooses. But no seize with honesty and vigor on the few main ideals that must holp him to achieve the best results in his four years of magistracy is a task for genius?or the must childlike honesty. In a way Mr. Wilson is the first pro due, of the oiangvd spirit of the times. Will he in his first official utterance, clothed with great power and weighed j With a solemn duty, voice the hopes whose silent workings In the hearts { of millions have put him at the na j tlon's head? Is he prophet enough tu ! write the new tablets of our law? ' Can he in ten inspired paragraphs ! pierce to the heart of our needs and I give us those rules that will enable ' us ss individuals to mold the great-r j state? j From some men we would expect j only the trit? and superficial handling j of big issues, or the detailed and prac? tical outline of a program of legis? lation. But from Mr. Wilson more i asked. He. for one thing, can write a piece of brilliant and lasting Knjt lish. His address should have the sim? plicity and directness and lofty dignity that come from the plain statement of great truths. It is not unreason? able to look for a paper full of scholar? ly breadth and philosophical wisdom, touched with the fire of a thinker who dreams, and plans to put dreams to the test of fact. From previous ad? dresses, we do not look for cocksure offering of legislative panaceas. We do not think he will attempt to lay down ' three s'mple rules by which the trusts, j the tariff and the currency are to be regulated. We rather believe he will give perhaps one rule of honesty and justice, by which we can labor to right a thousand wrongs. Mr. Wilson has the opportunity to make a real contribution to human progress. We feel that he will use it. It is long since ere have had In our national life state papers of the, greatness of those read by Washing loa and .lefferso- snd Webster. It la] also long sir-re we had an academic President. May lie prove also a' statesman' A M'KFICIE:\T sWTKYt OF IME5D MF\T. The sixteenth amendment *r> the i Federal Constitution, commonly termed ! the income tax amendment, was sub- j mltted tu the States by an almost unanirmus vote of Congress In July.' 190? The fact that no rote was j recorded against its submission in the Senate and hut twelve gjjalnsi it in th?- House c-aused certain of its critics j to . harge that its eongressio'i il con- I slderati.m was hasty and negligent.
