LIGHT IN DARKNESS.

DO we think of the light and sunshine,
OF the blessings left us still,
When we sit and ponder darkly
And blindly Ger life's ill.
How should we dispel the shadows
of still and deep despair,
And lessen the weight of anguish
Which every heart must bear.
The clouds may rest on the present,
And sorrow on days that are gone,
But no night is so utterly cherries
That we may not look for the dawn;
And there is no human being
With so wholly dark "a lot,
But the heart by turning the picture,
May find some sunny spot.
For. as in the days of winter,
When the snow drifts whiten the hill,
Some birds in the air will futter,
And warble to cheer US still:
So if we weuld hark to the music,
Some hope with Il starry wing
In the days of our darkest sorrow
Will sit in the heart and sing.

greatest of all punishments-the total eX-
clnSOn of mental exercise and it's attendant
horrors? How hopeless the struggle against
these conditions. The sooner one yields
himself to the downward current and allows
his identity to merge itself in oblivion, the
sooner his mental suffering will be over.
And yet how hard it is for young man to
look forward over the long months of weary
Imprisonment and knows that if he lives
to be once more free man. that it will be
only a miserable wreck of his former self
a waterlOgged, drifting. useless wreck that
will be tossed about for a few dreary years
upon ife'S troubled waves. and finally sink
into obscurity. unknown. unnoticed. And
this is the end that, under the present sys-
tenn, we are drifting to. l cannot believe
that the people of this state know what a
prison is. cannot believe. although it may
seem incredible. that the judge himself UNI
derstands fully the lasting injury that long
Imprisonment intiictS upon the unhappy
victim; and yet their duty, alas, is but too
plain.
To quote from late article. ''HOw long
VIII it take the awmakers to learn that the
law only hardenS man, and adopt some
means to reform him, as matter of
economy, if not humanity?" This is sen
tence that would write in letters of fire
upon the walls of the senate chamber. 1t
is truth that should be brought to the un-
derstanding of every legislator. TO them
we must look for relief Our hearts, wrung
with an anguish unspeakable. are crying
out to them for succor. 'Tis not the few
coming years that we have forfeited, but
their effect upon our whole life, that causes
us to send forth appeal after appeal to the
hearts and minds of the people of Mime
sofa.
'Tis an axiom of law that Ignorance of
the law excuses no One" l would write as
a companion axiom that Ignorance of the
effect of judicial sentence in state legiS-
ratOr or public official is a capital offence" :"
Why? Because man can kill another and
receive life sentence, and yet a legislator
by stroke of his pen can cause the mental
death of hundreds. Is not this ignorance
criminal? Would business man appoint
man who knows nothing about his busi
ness as his general manager? No. Ofhow
much graver Importance is it, then. that
that body of men who control the destiny
of hundreds of their fellOwmen should
fully understand their great responsibility.
and bring thorough knowledge, coupled
with reason, intelligence and sincere SYM
pathy. to bear upon this question of prison
reform? And then. and then only, will
the problem BIZ solved. Prison Reform"
will no longer be miSnOmer. G. E.

The Duty Of Legislators.

Editor Mirror:
l believe that good cannot but result from
a thorough agitation of convict labor from
a convict standpoint. l was greatly inter-
eSted in the recent articles upon this sub
ject and l hope that many of my fellow
prisoners will give expression to their views
upon it. Certainly no one is as competent
to expose the imperfections and short-cOm-
ings of the present system as ourselves.
We may not all be able to give a compre-
hensive essay upon this subject. but we all
have ideas, and however chaotic they may
seem there may be vein of sound sense
running through them.
Prison contract labor has but few more
months to live in this state, and then the
legislature and the management will be
brought face to face with this grave and
mOmentous question. How will they meet
it? Will they consider it from moral
standpoint as well as a physical? Will they
consider themselves merely guardians of
our bodies. or will they endeavor to give us
also mental employment?
Now. however UtOpian it may be. my
iuSd ID tHio, anu, dllllpuSu dlulOoC dIl iHlpoS-
sibility under the present system, under the
new regime | believe it to be feasible: A
prisoner when brought here should be
questioned freely as to his past life-not so
much the criminal part of it as the other;
what has he done, what can he do. In what
way can the state aid him while here to en-
hance his ability to earn an honest living
hereafter. Let them say to the prisoner
something like this: That although this is
a state prison and we are here to see that a
proper discipline is maintained. still we
have your future in view; and if it is pos
sible thing we want you to spend your time
here SO profitably that when you leave here
you will have no difficulty in procuring
work. We want you to consider this as a
preparatory school, and make every day
count to your future advantage"
Let them find the natural bent of his in
clination and then give him work in accord
ance Herewith; and as fast as his industry
and abilities are manifested let him be ad-
vanced. OF course we cannot expect an IN
sttution of this kind to be turned into a
great manual training school, and yet if it
could be how much great work might re-
suit? You give man an incentive to work;
you place before him all object to be at
tanned; you give his mind healthy en-
ployment in word. you treat him as a
man endowed with an intellectual faculty.
But how different is it now? A prisoner
is assigned to shop; the guard shows him
the rules; he is never to leave his place
without permission; he is never to speak.
etc. The foreman gives him his work, and
