trade, earning money, and improving their
minds. l answer by saying that this is no
fault OF the contract system, and we have
no assurance that these evils would be
remedied under the proposed scheme.
THE manipulation of strings" in order
to secure the labor at low rate effects a
different principle, strikes at a supposed
evil, which, when it exists, does not owe it's
existence to any particular locality, but is
broad as the affairs of civilized man. This
evil could, and no doubt would, enter into
the proposed scheme, if the avenues were
left open, as I once heard civi-service re-
former say they usually were in the states of
COlumbO.
The last writer upon the subject directed
his argument against existing evils, and
asked that these be righted by our legisla-
tors, but the drift of his argument would
lead one to believe that these evils are at
tributable to the contract system. because
it requires man to work at certain kind
of work and gives him no opportunity to
learn what will be useful to him when he is
again upon the world. He recites the evil
tendencies, as does the first writer referred
to, of the prison system. and an unpreju-
diced mind will see how deeply these men
who have had the advantage of early educa-
tion, and have lived under refining influen-
ces at some time in their lives, feel the sit
uation in which destiny has placed them.
But. boys, let me say to you that the very
fact that you have had these advantages is
the best reason in the world why you should
not be here and it is no reason why you
should be given superior advantages here
For you or there is less excuse, if we are
justly imprisoned, than for he who was
reared in ignorance and vice.

you are sentenced to long years of impris-

Defense Of the Contract system.

Editor Mirror:
Two of my co-untortunates having
taken it upon themselves to en-
lightenthe world upon the all
important question of THE Evils Of
the Contract System" l deem it privi-
lege to defend system which l believe to
be the best means of employing the inmates
of our prisons, and by great odds superior
to any other system now in vogue. The
question of ''how shall the state utilize the
the labor of cOnvicts?" is not new one,
but has its origin with the birth Of i'm
prisonment at hard labor" it following as a
natural consequence if the convict must
labor the state will utilize that labor to the
best advantage, or as it considers to the
best advantage. Here springs the issue:
How can this be done to the best advantage
of the state and the convict?
All will grant the state the right to i'm
prison at hard labor, for the commission of
crime. and to apply the labor first to the sup
port of the convict. Then, and not till
then, the question presents itself, what shall
be done with the surplus over and above the
cOSC OF maintenance! Lie lTSC WTlCoT Ill
issues Nos. "a and 35 OF THE MIRROR, de-
votes great deal of space to evils which
will attach to imprisonment. no matter
what system of labor the convict may be
employed under. 1t cannot be expected
that one imprisoned will earn any great
amount of money to alleviate the suffering
and supply the wants of those who claim
his energies. If such could be the case
there are many thousands of men in the full
enjoyment of liberty who would profit by
being incarcerated that they might have an
opportunity. and be compelled to earn a
competent livelihood for those dependent
upon them. Therefore we omit those parts
of the article which strike at the prison sys-
tenn, and notice his objection to the contract
labor system. t
He says: when the labor of 400 men
fails to support them, there is something
that needs correction" Perhaps there is,
just as when mans labor in any station
of life fails to support him, the same ''some-
thing needs correction" We must first find
the leak before we attempt to stop it, The
implied ''something' is in the contract sys-
tenn. don't believe it, but do believe it

NEW EVERY MORNING.

Every day is fresh beginning,
Every morn is the world made new;
You who are weary of sorrow and SHINING,
Here is a beautiful hope for YOU
A hope for me and hope for you.
All the past things are past and over,
The tasks are done and the tears are shed:
Yesterdays errors let yesterday cover;
Yesterdays wounds. which smarted and bled,
Are healed with the healing which night has
shed.
Yesterday is part of forever,
Bound up in a sheaf, which God holds Tight
With glad days, and sad days, and bad days
which never
Shall visit us more with their bloom and theil
blight.
Their fulness of sunshine or, sorrowful night.
Let them go. since we cannot relieve them,
Cannot undo and cannot atone;
God in His mercy receive, forgive them
Only the new days our own.
To-day is ours, and to-day alone.
Here are the skies all FURNISHED brightly,
Here is the spent earth all reborn;
Here are the tired limbs springing lightly.
To face the sun, and to share with the morn
In the chrism of dew and the cool of dawn.
Every day is a fresh beginning;
Listen, my soul, to the glad refrain,
And spite of old sorrow and older SHINING
And puzzle forecasted and possible pain,
Take heart with the day, and begin again.

The custom of shaving the beard was en-.
forced by Alexander of Macedon, not for the
sake of fashion. but for practi al end. He
knew that the soldiers of India, when they
encountered their foes, had the habit of
grasping them by the beard, and so he or
dered his soldiers to shave. Afterward shaw
ing was practiced in the Macedonian army,
and then among Greek citizens. The Ro-
mans initiated the Greeks in the practice, al
they did IN many other things, and sprf Tito

In the middle ages, at the time of the Renais
