There was dog fight at Anoka Sunday;
sheriff's posse swooped down on the
crowd of sports; the sports started to run
away; the posse discharged their blunder-
BUSES, muskets and pepper boxes; one man
was shot; Tuesday his leg was taken off
and he died. Now that it is found that the
shooting was criminal. that they had no
right to shoot, there cannot be one member
of the posse found willing to claim the
honor of having killed the old sport; in fact
there is not one of the party who will &C.
knowledge to having fired shot. Every
community has it's men who are always
ready to distinguish themselves by killing
their man-under protection of the law
and it is usually of this class that sheriffs'
posse are composed. Nine out of ten of
them are arrant towards. and when the
moment of action comes they lose their wits
and begin an lndiscriminate firing. often, as
in this instance, without cause. The sher-
if could have gone alone and unarmed and
captured the whole gang of sports.

Horace Mann once said at the dedication
of a reform school that if one boy was saved
the large outlay of money for the buildings
would be justified. When some one asked
him If he really meant that it paid to spend
so much money for one boy he replied:
Eyes. if he were my boy" Many men are
answering that question in that way and by
bringing it home to themselves are broader
in their charity and more just in their deal

Wherever our old warriors meet there is
good fellowship and jolly time. We find
in New Mexico paper that the Grand Army
had a camp fire at Las Vegas, and we also
see that our old friend. Captain Jack Craw-
ford, was the life and the soul of the occa-
sion. He talked for them. laughed and
wept with them and recited original
poems for them. Here is the portion of
one that never saw print before until
the stenographer captured it:
We never found a chicken that could roost out of
reach;
We seldom had chaplain that could find time to
We never saw a soldier pass a shirt hung out to
bleach,
While we we're marching through Georgia.
How we used to toll along right through the
swamps and boys;
And how the ladies blushed at our. dilapidated
toys;
And how we showed our bravery assassinating
hogs.
While we were marching through Georgia.
While charging some earthworks. some battery
to take,
l have seen some fearful charges that caused the
earth to quake;
But they were nothing to the charges suffers used
to make,
While we were marching through Georgia.

Governor Merriam of Minnesota, though
president of the leading bank IN St. Paul,
is not too much interested in finances to
give his attention to the needs of the prison
system in his state. By remarkable series
of incidents. he was led to believe that the
parole system was the proper thing for the
prisons of Minnesota; and. having the
power to put his theory into practical oper
alton, he ordered the change. Thus. the
cause of prison reform is advanced another
step on the ladder to universal adoption. 1t
now remains for the prisoner. by right liv.
ing on parole. to Prove the soundness of

to THE PUBLIC.

THE PRISON MIRROR is a weekly paper pub
lished in the Minnesota state prison. All matter
published in it's columns is contributed by the
inmates except that properly credited. Its sup.
port must come from the outside as 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 en-.
courage individual intellectual effort. provide q
healthy journal for the inmates of this and other
PRISONS and. above all. to acquaint the outside
world with the needs of the prison by rejecting
its inner life and thus aid the cause Of moral ad
vancement and prison reform.

A newspaper gives partial account of
the life of a noted criminal who is soon to
as one OF the most expert crooks in the
country; yet it is stated that of the forty
years he has been in the business he has not
enjoyed two years of continuous liberty.
We cannot see wherein his experiences lies,
unless it be in his lightning changes from
one prison to another.

1.-THE companies have more places for
good men than there are men to fill them"
The quoted sentence is from letter written
to railway employees by James j. Hill,
president of the Great Northern railroad.
1t is verifcation of the oft quoted adage.
There is always room at the top" The
services of an efficient worker is rarely out
of demand. Business men can always make
room in their business for persons whose
services are valuable. We heard the other
day of good position offering itself to any
competent applicant. There are scores of
persons in the community who claim to
make the required work their profession
yet out of something like dozen applicants
They simply did not know their own bust
ness-the profession out of which they ex-
pect to make living. We heard of
another late instance of man who de-
manded that his salary be raised to CORE
spond with the value of his services. His
employer refused. He quit. But his value
was known and in few days another firm
had him employed at $35 week, $40 more
than he had been getting. His old employer
tried to fill his place, but at the end of a
few months he declared himself Ounce for
not having paid his efficient servant $50
a week rather than let him go. There is a
profit to be made out of talented wOrkmen,
and business men are always ready to invest
in whatever returns good profit. We
quote little more from Mr.. HIPS letter
which applies in other callings besides rail
reading. He says: 1.-THE ordinary routine
man, who believes he has done his whole
duty by sitting on chair during office
hours, cannot expect, and does not deserve,
promotion. While on the other hand, |
think, every company is glad to recognize
every effort in advancing the company's
welfare on the part of every member of its
staff" Mr.. Hill is competent authority.
for he is one of the greatest employers in
the Northwest. The employe who is afraid
to do any more for his employer than the
safety of his position demands is never pro-
NOTED. never gets raise of salary and is
seldom kept any longer than it takes to find
more competent person to fill his place.
If one wishes to get to the front he must
'sget move on himself" for these are the
times of electricity and steam engines.

modating grain growers; and they seem to
be beset by like difficulties, one of which is
the prices to be fixed upon the goods. If
the state asks the market price, then the
farmers refuse to buy of the state; if the
state proposes to sell at cost of production,
there is dispute as to what the actual cost
is, and those taxpayers who Go not have
use in their business for the prison products
kick on paying for the grain growers bags
and binding twine.

we'll fed, well-clothed children of we'll. to-
do people the spirit of envy stirs in their
little bosoms. They cannot understand
why others should have so much while they
have so little. They realize that they are
not responsible for the difference. The
we'll fed and we'll dressed children resent
their friendly advances. and spurn them at
all times and in all places. No one who
has not been one of them knows the many
heartaches the children of poverty are made
to suffer because Of their rags. Wherever
they go. whether in church, school or on
the street. they are ignored or pushed aside
for the sake of finely clad children. If they
are noticed at all it is in such patrOnizing
way that. degraded though they may be,
they receive it with a sense of shame.
Sometime ago the good people of one of
the large cities made banquet for poor
children. then they brought their own well
animals devour the food. Grand object
lesson in philanthropy! 1t must have been
taken for granted that those poor children
were devoid of all pride and self respect,
otherwise the thing was devised by persons
of shallow brains or cruel instincts. The
poor children were perhaps at the time too
we'll pleased with the opportunity to satisfy
their starved appetites. to cavil at the con-
ditions, but the time of thinking will come
some day. then the cheeks will flush, the
heart swell and that inner voice curse.
Can any student of human nature doubt
what effect this kind of treatment has upon
the children of poverty? We think they
will say it is from these that the armies of
anarchy and crime are recruited. Poverty
clothed in rags.
