Tim?*-Democrat points oat that tba beat results have been obtatnod taroad building yt ben the best free labor ooly has been employed. It ogra: fioad construction is a science requiring a maze earefal study of the nab Jaot than Ib generally imagined. The pseralent Mm that any one can build a food read will not huld good The Hi nouires study, care and a thor 0agh knowledge of the soil and country through which the road is to be bnilt. The department cf agriculture has late 1j bean doing good work bj laying be too the people exactly what is necea amy in rood construction. The employment of convicts in road construction is very popular just now. as offering simultaneously a solution of the two troublesome problems of what to do with oar prison population and how to improve our highways. In view Of the fact that the convicts in Mew York, Indians and other states are kept fcUat aa the law makes no provision for their amort it ia well that Louisiana I should take some step* to ntilise ben when it hat them on its bands, and SMd construction seems an ideal em y ployment for tbem. On the other hand, the experience of Aon states which hare been most successful with their roads is that only t the hart labor (and oonriot labor is not the test) should be employed in their BOiieti uutiutt and maintenance. No state which has made ?aj material improvement with its highways has employed ?mriet labor, and no state which ban (BHikywl that tindol labor baa secured much liajsti?it la its roads.
