The term "convict" ncludes all persons serving a jail sentence. For each day's labor a convict shall receive 25 cents to be paid upon expiration of his term of sentence, or to depend ents, by the county, state, town ship or municipality. A number of convicts are already employed.

The decision of the Supreme Court directing the State of West Virginia to pay her portion of the public debt of old Virginia as it stood when the State was divided ends, it is hoped, a long contro versy which ought never to have been raised at all says the Phila delphia Press. The division of Virginia and the creation of a new State out of the western portion was a war measure apparently justified by the circumstances of that time. But the old State debt was in equity a mortage on the undivid ed State and West Virginia should naturally and properly carry her share of that joint burden. The men who framed and ratified the Constitution of West Virginia re cognized this claim and directed that an "equitable portion of the debt of Virginia a3 it stood on January 1, 1SG1, shall be assum ed by this State." Notwithstanding this constitu tional mandate the Legislature of West Virginia never took the steps to pay either the principal or interest of that State's share of the debt. Virginia's many re quests for a settlement of the claim has never met with any fa vorable response. Virginia in the meantime increased her debt and subsequently readjusted or reduced it and acknowledged re sponsibility for only a portion of it. At the same time it issued certificates for the portion of the debt it thought West Virginia should assume and promised to exert her influence to secure from West Virginia the payment of these certificates, but it did not propose to pay them herself, This did not extinguish Virgin ia's liability, however and in 190G that State very properly brought suit against West Virginia and obtained a judgment of $12,300, 000 covering the principal and back interest of West Virginia's share of the debt. This money goes eventually to the certificate holders who have been holding almost worthless West Virginia certificates for many years. Virginia has done her full duty in this matter and West Virginia will be compelled to pay her past debt and make good the pledge of her Constitu tion. Other States have been able to repudiate their debts because a pernicious amendment of the Federal Constitution for bids individuals to bring a . suit against a State. One State may however, sue another in the Fed eral Courts and by the use of this power Virginia compels West Virginia to pay her share of the joint debt contracted before their separation.
