Thanksgiving in Prison.

At an early hour the inmates were assembled
in chapel hall The services were opened by a
we'll rendered vocal selection by the choir, fol-
lowed by prayer by Chaplain Albert.
Major 7. M. Newson delivered lecture on his
experiences in the Black Hills during the gold ex-
cItement. His address was interspersed with
many humorous inc:d ,nts among them amusing
anecdotes wherein the ''tenderfoot'' play ed the
prominent part. The frisky "con-man" also re-.
ceved the attention due to one of the chief fea-
lures OF a mining camp. He graphically described
the methods of pro 5pecting and the many pro-.
cesses which the pay dirt had to be subjected to
in order to extract the gold.
The subject matter of the lecture was very in
terest ng, and the easy, conversational manner in
which it was delivered, made the hour pass quick
and pleasantly.
AT the close OF the lecture, tine Warden thanked
the Major on behalf of the inmates; he also said
that he had written to- and had expected Gen.
VIM r. Marshall of st. Paul. to be with u.s. but
that he had just received letter of regret from
him in which the writer extended his heartiest
good wishes to all the boys. Warden Stordock
was in hopes that the General would be with US
on Christmas In closing, he referred to that
obsequIous friend known as the "con-man,-of
the Majors lecture.
These friends" he said, ARE very numerous
and you will meet them on every side. Beware

Longtime COnvfcts.

In this state long time cOnvicts receive no
more good time" in proportion, than do
those serving but a year or two. The Min
nesota convict, for his tenth year of service
of a sentence. receives not particle more
time off for good behavior. than for his first
year of service.
This cannot be just. But if SO, it must
be classed as very severe justice and not at
all as an act in accord with the spirit of
humanity the people of Minnesota are
credited with. and pride themselves on.
Far from being in advance of, Minnesota
in this respect at least. is behind many of
her sister states. New York, Ohio. Mis-
souri,, California, and several other states,
have long since demonstrated. by their
liberal schedule for good behavior which
they have instituted in their respective prs-
OnS that they desire to meet the convict
halfway and offer him an inducement to
bring to the surface and cultivate the bette"
qualities that lie within him; and which. if
continuously practiced. cannot fail but re-
suit in his reformation. By Virtue of the
schedules (thpy vary between the states
mentOned) the convict can earn gOOd-time
about as follows: On the first two years of
sentence. two months: on third year. three
months; fourth year. four months; fifth year.
five months; from sixth up to tenth year in
clusive-siX months per year. and for years
after the tenth, eight months off for every
year.
Minnesota allows her convicts but two
months year; whether it be sentence of
one or twenty-One yearS-it remains the
same. ThiS-it becomes evident-iS not
enough 1t lacks the proper incentive to
good behaviOur-One OF the many requisites
to refOrmatiOn--whch the state certainly
should be willing to furnish the convict.
Why will not the press of the State-that
power that makes and unnakes Presidents.
Governors etc.; that noble medium which
fought so galantly and displayed such
wonderful energy and ability during the
recent campaign-why not they take
this important question in hand and bring
it to the notice of the next legislature in
such a manner as will insure the result de-
sired.
Some provisions should also be made,
whereby the good behaving life convict will
be freed after serving, say, ten or twelve
full years. That is punishment enough for
any crime. But if any of MinnesOtaS peO-
pie are skeptical on this point. they are
welcome. as far as [ am concerned Though
the Warden might object to taking saints
into the place. to come and try it for
time
Much could be said of the prime factor in
producing SO many longtime cOnvicts. viz:
the penal code. which is not by any means
a model of perfection; but as space is very
precious in THE MIRROR this will have to
60 over until some future time.

Good Words.
Editor NIirrOr:


Enclosed find ST. for renewal of subscrp-
ton for your excellent little paper. Since
THE MIRROR came this way. l have often
wanted to congratulate the editor upon it's
ability and excellence. Besides being of
great interest to your humble servant-a
lifelong worker in priSOns-THE MIRROR
goes down regularly to young prisoner in
our state prison. He is one of the many
there under unjust sentences-fOr five long
years for the first Offense. and very tritling
one at that-a young man about eighteen
years of aye. When found what pleas
ure it afforded him l wished that l could
send for few more copies.
You have some excellent writers for your
paper and l have had the pleasure of seeing
my own ideas in print. From THE MIRROR
l have learned that in more ways than one
is Minnesota beyond ''poOr old Missouri"
las they say, and as Catholic feel proud
of it. although it is only their due in free
country like ours. Saltwater prison has a
Catholic chaplain. as we'll as a protestant,
and THE MIRROR gives his instructions
place.
Wishing you and your fellow prisoners
every grace and blessing. remain. yours
very sincerely, MOTHER JEROME.

mountains that have been upheaved by some
great CONFUSION OF the earth. They are natures's
way of remembering. We cannot deny the truth
that these had cause, for the evd ence is before
u.s. Some men deny the truth of the great events
recorded in the Bible. Yet these events have left
their impress upon the whole world, changing and
shaping the destinies of the race. The Tower of
Babel. the cities of Nineveh and Babylon have all
passed away, but their fame remains The story
of the Tower of Babel is great the
memory of the human race, yet the Tower has
crnmbled and been mingled with the sands of the
PLAN. 1t is reasonable to deny that the scar
on the face was the result of a wound. as it would
be to deny that the scar left on the face of mem
DRY had no foundation. Men and their deeds may
pass out of the memory of the world, yet, howev-
er humble they may have been they have left an
indelible impression, and helped to shape the flu
ture of the human race. Let us look at things as
they are. and not as they may seem in narrow
view. Let look back for the cause of what is.
Let not look upon the events recorded in the
Bible which have much influence on the~world
of to-day, as unnatural, but let regard them as
events of actual occurrence. Nimrod, Alexan-
der, Napoleon and others in different ages tried
to unite the human race under one head, but
there is limit to the power of m an, and they
failed. and the stories of their failures have
made them immortal in the memory of mankind.
Nineveh, Babylon and Rome each endeavored to
bring all men under their sway. and they failed,
but they, too, immortalized.
Humanity is like great river: it rises and be-
comes tumultuous, it against rocks and is
divided, unites again and placidly flows on wind
ing about through dark gorges. but ever onward
to its destination.
Goods ideal government is that all men be
bound together by the ties of brotherly love. The
work of man is never complete. Strive as we may
we always fall short of our expectations Men
and nations have striven for immortality. The
wish for it is in the soul of every human being.
DO not believe that Immortality was ever re-
veaed to man. it is an inheren instinct. We
have instructive desire to break away from
the chains that bind and hamper US, and prevent
attaining ideal of perfection under one
common ruler. Christ, political econom ST.
has excelled all men. He has established the
ideal empire and revealed tie man how his hopes
of immortality may be realized
