WHAT LIQUOR WILL DO.

Much has been said on the relation Of
liquor to crime. Our life's experience has
revealed to us some phases of this subject
that no man who had led strictly upright
life could know except by hearsay. 1t is
said that all men are sinful by nature, and
as sin is only another name for crime, all
men must have criminal impulses. We BE-
lieve this to be true for the best and noble,t
men and women have told the world Of
their great struggles against temptations 70
sin. They do not often tell us what sn
they were tempted to commit, and many so
clear through life leaving unblemished reg
Ords behind them. and the world never
knows what were their besetting sins. But
many man fills dishonored grave who
had he never allowed liquor to enter his
mouth, his besetting sin would not have BE-
trayed him. and he would have been NUN
bered with the honorable. 1t is said. and
it is true. that whatever bad there is in a
man comes out when he gets drunk. Ee
may not commit any wrong act. but he will
reveal his natural tendency toward certain
unlawful indulgences which, when sober,
his good sense and manly pride would sup
press. The drunken man is always in bad
company even though he be alone, which
he hardly ever is. for drunkenness loves
company and is never OverchOice in its

WORK OF THE PRISON MANAGERS

At the special meeting of the Board of
Managers Monday it was decided to begin
the manufacturing of tubs and pals in the
prison Oh state account, and Managers
O'Brien and Norrish were appointed to
make the necessary arrangements. They
will begin work Immediately and the nten-
ton is to put in plant that will cost be-
tween $4,000 and $40. 600 and employ about
seventy-five men. This is the line of man
ufacturing that Warden StordOck suggested
one year ago. Managers Dunn and
Temple, who were appointed to look up the
feasibility of starting binding Irvine fac
tory. reported to the board the result of
their Investigations, and it was decided on
good grounds that binding Irvine could not
be made in the prison except at loss to
the state.
A Joint committee of the board of man
ayers OF the state prison and the state re-
formatory board met in the governors Of
fee at the capitol Tuesday to decide on
rules and regulations for the transfer of
convicts from the prison to the refOrma-
tory at st. Cloud 1t was agreed to trans
fer seventy-fve men as soon as possible.
A committee consisting of Gordon E. Cole,
Judge Keefe, Edwin Dunn, John F. Nor
IRISH, the superintendent of the reformatory
and the prison warden. was appointed to
frame the regulations and report at meet
ing to be held at the office of Hon. Gordon
E. Cole on August 6.
Warden Stordock and Superintendent
Myers were appointed to select the men to
be transferred. The seventy-Iive will be
chosen, if possible, from those not over 80
years OF age having from to years yet
| to serve.

have seen district judge, a man respected
for his ability and integrity. hanging about
the neck of professional burglar tearfulIy
begging him to take him along as a part
ner. At another time we heard an old en-
gineer trying to persuade a well-known rob-
Der to go in with hinr to rob the express
car of the train he had faithfully hauled
for years. OF course the judge and en-
gineer We're both silly drunk. and it is not
at all probable that they would have done
what they proposed even while in that con-
dtion. 1t was only their little devils talk
ing while their judgments were under the
influence of the liquor. When sober all the
money in the U. S. Treasury could not
have hired either man to commit the crimes
they proposed. Almost every man who
has been intoxicated and associated with
men in a like condition. if he would, could
tell of wild freaks that ran through his
brain for which he thanks God that no Op-
pOrtunity was presented for their execu-
ton. And many remember things they
did or were tempted to do, the bare
thought of which when sober causes feel
ngs of the deepest disgust and humilia-
ton. Any man who drinks is in danger of
losing control of the devil that he keeps hid
den away when sober. Many man is in
prison to-day who would be an honOred
man had he not been betrayed while drunk
by his inherent tendency to evil, to take
some step that disgraced him in his own
self-respect and the respect OF others.
Nearly all criminals who had proper train
ing in youth. took their first downward
step when drunk. 1t is these well-knOwn
results that so closely connect liquor and
crime.

THE PRISON MIRROR is weekly paper pub

published in its columns is contributed by the
inmates, except that properly credited. Its sup
port must come from the outside every inmate
is given a paper without cost. 1t is published in
the interest of the prison library and after paying
for the printing outfit, contributed $3.50 to the
library fund the first year. Its objects to
courage individual intellectual effort, provide a
healthy journal for the inmates of this and other
prisons, and above all, to acquant the outside

Criminal Statistics.

An examination into the habits of French
criminals shows that 70 per cent of vaga-
bonds. about so per cent of assassins and
incendiaries. So per cent of those guilty of
immoralities, II per cent of thieves OF the
common sorts, SO per cent OF those guilty
of assaults, II per cent of fraudulents were
drunkards. 1t was also found that of those
under 20. as compared to those over 20,
the number of drunkards was quite as
great. These statistics only confirm those
gathered from our own prison life. Crimi-
nality, as rule, marks a low grade of vi
tality, which finds it easy to resort to slim
uants and narcotics. 1t may be set down
as confirmed fact that to cure vagabOnd-
age and criminality as we'll as drunkenness,
the vitality of the victim must be improved.

are becoming due. Next week we will be-

not take it that we fear to trust you further.

wish to continue your patronage. please
notify us. If you do not find it convenient
to settle up just at this time, and still de-

that effect and we will trust you until such
time as we can no longer wait. Above all
things do not allow yourself to be num-
bered among those who, when they owe a
years subscription, suddenly discover that
they do not like the paper and refuse 70
take it out OF the postoffice. The post
masters always let us know who those per-

line through their names, thus making a
record for the prison archives to show that
all rascals are not in the penitentiary.
