The first great duty of the journalist is to
tell the truth-tell it in his editorials. tell it
in his news columns. tell it at all times and
under all circumstances. not in malice. or
bitterness, or indiscretion, but in fairness
and kindness. and as occasion may require.
If public official is recreant or unfit. tell
it; if he is member of your own party.
still tell it, and in louder tone. If can
didate is scoundrel. tell it; if of your own
party, still tell it. If public character is
humbug, tell it. If an entertainment or
lecture was fraud. tell it. Always tell
the truth; but be sure it is the truth. The
editor who recklessly or indiscriminately as
sails men and things is both a coward and a
criminal. He deserves the execration of
every honest man. The newspaper which
makes itself the ce-gate for libel. and
sensationalism, and vice is the worst of all
enemies of society. Human character is
priceless, and he who furnishes or stabs is
viler than the thief or the assassin.-E. w.
Stephens. in The National Journalist.

Gov. Merriam has committed the death
sentences of Clifton Holden and William
Lentz to life imprisonment. Both of these
men were cOnvicted-one in Redwood
county and the other in Blue Earth county
of murder in the first degree on purely
circumstantial evidence, and it seems that
the people of the counties were about
equally divided in opinions as to the guilt
or innocence of the men. But it also ap-
pears that, on account of the nature of the
circumstantial evidence. not even majority
of those who believed the men guilty were
in favor of their being executed. But
again, it further appears on good authority
that, in the case of Holden, certain parties
were extremely anxious to carry out the
extreme penalty, and to further this end.
were industrious to make it appear that the
good people of the community thirsted for
the blood of the condemned man. We do
not know that such was actually the case,
but newspaper reports make it so appear.
However, the, friends of Holden have. at
least, saved his life, and now that brother,
who in his noble devotion has spared no eff
fort to save his aged parents son from an
ignominious death. can close his eyes at
night without beholding the vision of his
brother upon the gallows. Innocent or
guilty. Holden owes debt of gratitude to
his brother. to Hon. Albert Scheffer and
Judge Baldwin and others who pleaded for
his life. and to the governor who granted it.
that he can never repay. 1t is to be hoped
that time may reward them with the as
surance that they have saved an innocent
mans life.

with being one of the keenest fnanciers in

The New Orleans grand jury has re-
ported the result of it's investigation of the
recent wholesale lynching of Italian pris.
oners. No indictments were found against
any of the lynchers. but Detective O'Malley
and several others are indicted for jury
brbing. The grand jury characterizes the
affair as popular uprising of the people.
The grand jury has done all that could be
expected of it, for to have indicted the
whole mob of Z, 900 or 5000 persons would
have been making farce of the matter.
and to have indicted few of the leaders
and let the less courageous 60 would have
been unfair. A grand jury is powerless in
such a case. How the National government
will settle the matter with Italy is an in
teresting problem.

West Duluth has burglarious prodigy in
nine year-old boy. This youthful disci-
pie of the immortalized Bill Sykes was az
rested a short time ago for burglarizing a
church, but was excused because of his
tender age. Now he is up again on a
charge of having entered shop and stolen
gold watch. 1t seems increditable that
one so young could be so tough, but the
cause is known when it is told that he is a
bright-witted little fellow whose home is
miserable and without mother. 1t is of
such material that professional criminals
are made. and there are hundreds of them
growing up in the cities everywhere. When
boy or girl does not 20 wrong under such

THE PRISON MIRROR is a weekly paper pub

inmates. except that properly credited. Its sup

library fund the first year. Its objects are to en-
courage individual intellectual effort, provide a

vancement and prison reform.

How human it is to kick the fellow that
is down. Take for instance the newspaper
accounts of the recent fire in this prison.
No one knows positively how the fire orig
mated, but from the nature of all the cir
cumstances it is most reasonable to attribute
it to spontaneous combustion. yet hardly a
paper has refrained from suggesting that it
was the work of convicts. 1t is certain
that they received no hint to that effect from
the prison officials. for, so far as we can
learn, they have entertained no such suspi-
cions. But it is no use to scold. for the re-.
porters will have it their own way anyhow

cause so much wincing and complaining.
Hundreds and thousands are joining the
ranks of the disconnected every day. and
unless something happens to sOOthe the
spirit of discomfort it will not be many
years before a condition of things will ex-
ist very much as portrayed in Caesars
Column" Economists may advise on the
unprOfitableness of strikes, but the laborers
will continue to agitate their cause by
strikes until they eventually win or lose in
great part all they are cOntending for The
labOring classes know that they are the
losers in strikes, but they hope to make
their present losses their future gains.
France is disturbed to day because of seri-
Gus labor troubles and it was only few
days ago that her soldiers shot down large
number of persons who were engaged in
labor disturbances. A few weeks ago some
eleven or twelve striking miners were shot
to death in the Pennsylvania coke regions.
These wholesale killings are becoming quite
common, but they do not prevent strikes or
put capital and labor on any better terms
with each other. The more capital strives
to disorganize labor the more firmly it be-
comes united. The whole world secretly
sympathizes with the laborer and it is most
probable to suppose that his cause will win
in the end. 1t is to be hoped that the con-
test may be waged with fairness and end in
friendship.
