hood. The K0aC'S Mouth will visit THE
MIRROR each week, and if it's visits
will add any to the pleasure of poor
misguided mankind who are suffering
the fruits of folly and the sting of evil,
then we feel amply repaid, and assure
THE MIRROR boys that we enjoy their
quaint little paper and deeply sympa-

1t is such sentiments as the above
coming from large-hearted men of lib
eral views, that make it possible for
prison publications to exist. Such ex.
pressions tend to build up within us a
hope for the future, for it is evidence
that there are those who can look be-
meath the sable mantle of sin that en-
velopes the prisoner and see fellow
man. Be assured, Messrs. Craycroft
and Bumbarger, that The KaaO's Mouth
will be read with interest in our office
and in return for your bright, clean
sheet we will endeavor to give thoughts
worthy of your consideration through
the columns of THE MIRROR.

education.

The only difference between the men
in Saltwater and the men at large is a
matter of liberty, and it is not money
that gains or loses for man his liberty.
1t is character. 1t is honesty. 1t is
wisdom. 1t is the ability and DISPOSE
ton to be Independent that makes a
man free. The men who have sought
liberty and power through the influence
of money have all been degraded and
ruffianized. Money, possessed in suffi-
GENTLY large amounts, may save Grim
malls neck from the moose and his
person from the cell, but that is not
freedom. The only free man is the man
whose character has overcome his own
weakness; the man who knows the right
and has the courage to defend it; the
man whose will power makes and un-
makes conditions. Money always
enslaves men; character alone frees
them.-Midzcdy NeaCs.

BY our own request this issue will
end our editorship of THE PRISON MIR
ROR. The one who succeeds us is a
writer of ability, and has had experience
in the newspaper business, SO our pa
per. under his management, will be bet

uniting, at this time. to express to Off
GERS, guards and inmates of this insti-
tuition our thanks for their kindness
and assistance, and we bespeak for our
successor the same generous treatment.

Last week an autopsy was held in
Minneapolis on the body of a man
found dead under peculiar circumstan-
ces. The post-mortem examination
showed the brain, heart, lungs and
digestive organs to be in normal condi-
tion and the body exhibited no marks of
external violence. The medicos con-
fessed they were at loss to assign a
cause for death. Can it be that they
have forgotten or are ashamed of the
customary platitude SO frequently as
signed in ignorance, which, in this case,
might not prove misnomer? The
man evidently died from "heart
failure"
The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1893-06-22

Michigan has taken the initiatory
step in the reformation of her army of
tipplers. Hereafter when one of her
citizens has been convicted of drunken
ness, he may, at his own option, go
either to imprisonment, or to any
institute patronized by the state, for
a course of treatment. This is practi-
cally victory for that class of philan-
thropists who advocate reformation
rather than punishment in the treat
ment of crime.

The Rome correspondent of the Daily
Ne,cS, Nondon) says that Leo XIII has
decided that, in the diocese of st. Paul,
MIMI, the clergy must instruct Catho-
lie and Protestant children alike, with
out eXacting from the latter promise
of becoming Catholics. The pope's at
titude in this will do much towards al
laying the fears of certain anti Catho-
lies, who are always constituting any
offer at instruction on the part of Rome
as looking towards proselytizing.

LABOR.

Labor is as essential to mans physi-
cal and mental growth as air is to ami
NAL life, and yet there are men in the
world whose conception of an ideal ex-
istence is to live in idleness and luxuri-
GUS ease. Work to vigorous natures is
a pleasure. The late Jay Gould could
have retired from business at any time
during the last twenty years of his life
without disturbing visions Of the poor
house staring him in the face and with
the millions at his command he could
have had anything that money would
purchase, but it would not have brought
him happiness. Active business pur-
suits were necessity to his vigorous
brain, and with all his wealth Jay Gould
would have been the most miserable
man on earth had he been compelled to
live in enforced idleness. We often
see men in the declining years of their
life engaged in some light employment
suitable to their failing energies. They
may have accumulated enough of this
worlds goods to keep them from want;
they may be surrounded by those who
would gladly relieve them from every
burden and with loving care minister
to their comfort; but they would not be
contented sitting in idleness, drone in
the busy world of industry, and the
painstaking care with which they per-
form their little self-imposed tasks is a
reproof and shame to younger men.
We who plod along in the humble
walks of life often envy the rich and
think of them as the fortunate ones Of
earth who are exempted from toll, but
we know nothing of the years of the
very hardest kind of mental labor that
must be spent in the accumulation Of
riches, and the constant care and atten-
ton it requires to retain wealth when
it is acquired.
Any man who has sound body and
mind, who is temperate in his habits,
can, in country like ours which offers
such grand opportunities for advance
ment in life, secure as much property
as is necessary to insure happiness.
The possession of vast wealth and the
power it brings may satisfy mans am
bition, but, after all, perhaps the laborer
whose body is invigorated by healthful
toll, whose sleep is sound and refresh
ing, may find more of true earthly hap
piness in the humble cottage which
shelters his wife and little ones, than
does the millionaire in his marble pal
ace whose mind is harrassed by bust
ness cares.

operations, and more skillful in Guiding
detection. This, at first sight, seems
good logic, but there is another aspect
in which we may look at it. If the
criminal acquires sufficient education
to help him on in life. or, what is equal
ly desirable, should he learn a good
trade, would he not abandon the haz-
ardous life of criminal, for the more
tranquil life of honest industry? There
is not that fascination about life of
crime that some would have Ms believe
and even among that class known as
professional crooks, we believe there
are many who would gladly abandon
their precarious calling, if there was
some avenue open to them whereby
they could enter the ranks of honest in
dustry on an equal footing with others.
The professional crook, no matter how
successful he may be in career that
offers so little chance of success, lives
in the constant dread that he may be
arrested at any hour and sent to prison
for long term. Whatever money he
may possess at the time of his trial is
paid to lawyers in the hope that he may
cheat justice; and, at the expiration of
his term of imprisonment, he is COM
PEELED by sheer necessity to resume his
criminal practices or seek employment
at honest labor. With the thought of
his long years of disgraceful servitude
fresh in mind, and knowing that his
first essay at criminal practices may
result in his being returned to prison.
is it unreasonable to believe that this
man could be reformed had he received
proper industrial training while in
prison?
But some will say, "our efforts at
reformation are directed to young GRIM
inals, not to old offenders" True, but
why not include old offenders? Leav-
ing moral sentiment aside, and looking
at it only from commercial point of
view, would it not pay to redeem old
offenders and return them to the ranks
of honest labor? Even men whose souls
are burdened with the weight of crime
can be made better if the proper meth
DDS are employed. DIR. Arthur Mac
Donald, who has made a direct study
of the criminal in Europe and Amer
lea, and has recently published an in
