WE BOW TO ssTHE SUM-,

We don't know but what we have said so
before, but the statement bears constant
repetition-that The PRISON MIRROR. a
paper published and printed entirely by the
inmates of the Saltwater pententiary, is
one of the most interesting of our exchanges
1t is among the brightest periodicals in the
United States; and its good work during a
years existence has achieved for it world
wide reputation. Great is the fall of some
men. is conclusion necessarily reached by
any who will pursue but a single number
of this excellent little journal. May it be

Our state prison is fast looming to higher
and nObler aims of literature and Christi
anity. The sparkling little paper edited
there by the convcts develops the hidden
talent of our brother cOnvictS. We are
glad to see mankind elevated thus. 1T is
never to late to mend. st. Peter Journal.
Mankind is not bad at heart. All it re-
qures, in case of our kind, is a medium
to awaken and stir up to action the slum-
bering goodness of our brother non-con-
victs. We now have that medium, and we
are eXerting ourselves to the extent of our
abilities to that end. May success crown
our efforts!

How strangely do they talk about us!
One day we read that we should be given
work as All act of mercy; another day that
we should be compelled to work as a pun
iShment. Some say it is sin and almost
criminal to deny the convict the privilege of
engaging in healthgiving toll; others that
it is an outrage on the honest people of the
state to allow the convict to Iuxurate in
lazy idleness. First we are described as max
ing heart-rending appeals for work; next,
that our slothful natures are being pandered
to. Oh. my! Oh. my! But, people will
have their say.

THE MIRROR makes an apology to the

mistake it made in giving credit to the
wrong persons for the altar decorations
and arrangement on the occasion of the
ArchbishOp's visit to this place. The society
consists of the following ladies': Mesdames

Anna Sutton. The ladies have the thanks
of all those for whose benefit the beauti-
full decorations were made.

ROR, published in Minnesota state prison,
has been a constant and welcome visitor
upon our table. We have always peruSed
its columns carefully to learn something of
the inner life of prison before we had to ex-

edited, but recently the editor has been re-
lieved of duty by executive clemency. and
the care of publishing THE MIRROR will
fall upon other hands none the less worthy.

TO OUR PATRONS.

No, we are not about to offer yOn combi-
nation rates. an elegant gold watch or easy
running sewing machines as inducements to
secure continuation of your patronage.
We only wish to thank you for the liberal
support YOU have given this our venture in
the crowded ranks of journalism. Many
far more pretentiOus papers have
started out more auspiciously, but have
failed through lack of appreciation. Before
the first issue of THE MIRROR there was
considerable uncertainty as to what its re-
cepton would be outside the prison walls.
proved a failure no one would have been
much surprised. But now, at the end of
eighteen months. it still lives and is one of
the most widely circulated papers in the
United States. 1t numbers among its most
appreciative readers and earnest supporters
eminent authors. journalists, judges, states
men. clergymen and penolOgists, in proof
of which we have at hand many letters and
editorial comments to show. One would
naturally suppose that a paper published
bv the inmates of a prison would find it's
readers among the vicious and unrefined
orders of society; but such is not the case
A few, at first, subscribed expecting to be
RECALLED with sensational revelations of dar-
ing deeds of dashing robbers the mysteries
of the burglars ''art' and the schemes of
the cunning confidence man; but they were
deceived and soon lost interest in the paper.
We have tried to give you a clean
and pure paper. and we have never
been adversely criticised on that score.
Of course, we would not be permitted to
publish any other kind of paper: but we
are proud to say that our censor has never
yet condemned an article submitted to him.
1t has been the aim to print nothing that
might mislead person into thinking there
is anything attractive in criminal career.
We believe that THE MIRROR has done
much good to it's prison readers. and has
enlightened the free world as to our needs
and the best way of meeting them. When
the paper started it was rare thing to see
anything in our Minnesota exchanges re-
gradually taken hold of the subject and to-
day nearly every paper we pick up has
something to say on the question. THE
MIRROR has been source Of information
to editors on a subject of which they were
necessarily ignorant 1t has done much to-
ward dispelling the prejudice which makes
it SO hard for an exconvict to regain good
standing among men. There is many a
confirmed criminal to- day who was made so
by that prejudice.
The MIRROR hopes that it may continue
to find favor with the outside world. 1t is
much indebted to the business men of Still
water for their advertising, and we hope
they are receiving profitable return there
from. We thank you all again for your
life-giving support.

By CHANGING at the head of this page it
will be seen that every inmate of this in
sttutiOn is an editor. Now it becomes our
painful duty to remind about 42O of our
brother editors of the fact that they are full
filling no part of their duties. You have
left all of the work to be done by few-not
more than ten are doing any writing for the
paper. We who have been writing ever
.;nce the paper started have told about all
we know, and our readers may tire of us.
You must wake up and contribute some
thing. We know there are many bright
and witty minds in here that would fairly
sparkle in print. Write short. pithy arti-
cleS such as you like TO read yourselves.
People are too busy these days chasing the
elusive dollars to stop to read long winded
effusOns If your first production should
not be deemed suitable for publication do
not go into the dumps and refuse to write
any more. Such action shows very petty
disposition. Remember that most of the
popular authors have had some of their
writings rejected. The other day we asked
one of our old contributors for an article
and he gruffly said: why don't you get
some of the other jays to write something?
I'm played out" We don't know who he
meant by jays" but whoever you are let
us hear from you. We are not adverse to

made to save the rest Of the crew, a drag
being made of the painter, but the boat
was blown away and the oars wrested
from the hands of the men. The boat
drifted in the gulf stream and the air was
warm, but this increased the intensity Of
