childish to go to mother, and with arms

characteristic of man to love and ven

does so will ever be in trouble. She
never ceases to love us; her prayers are
ever with us; her influence is felt in

not owe her? How little Of that great
love we repay. We can never expect
to be good, manly men, and not love,

have no interest in either of these

imported from China Or Japan that we

do China good, and teach all Europe

In NORWAY, SOcie y and politicians
were recently horror stricken by the
announcement that one of the lately
elected members to the Storthing was
an eX-conyIct. Mason IIagerUp, the
successful candidate from the Tn Ondh-
jem district. went to the Mayor of that
city and told him that some twenty
years ago. he had served a sentence of
eighteen months for forgery, and the
virtuous people, of the little land under
the pole. are simply standing aghast,
and gasping for breath at the sound of
the horrible news; and the unanimous
verdict is, that Mr. Hagerup shall not
be allowed to take his seat in the nation
al assembly, the Storthing, to which he
was duly and legally elected. The fact
that Mr.. Hagerup has been leading an
unblemished life during the past twenty
years, and has by his work, conduct,
honesty and ability won the unbOunded
confidence of his fellow citizens, as his
election demonstrates, cuts no figure.
He is an eX-convict, and virtuoua soce-
ty will accept no atonement when he
attempts to rise above his fellow man.
He may live 20 years-1OO years and
be saint all that time, but like the leper
of old among the Jews, he is reckoned
as dead by compassionate society," Yet
some people will say that under certain
conditions you may attain the topmost
round Of the ladder and admit the fact
that you are an eX-cOnvict. That the
world is so generous they cannot do
enough for you: they are breaking
their necks to serve you, poor unfortu-
nate fellow that you are. Many man
today is breaking his neck right along
that line. The MIRROR wishes to en-
courage ever man in his efforts to build
up character and reputation; but we
appeal to our fellow convict to do so as
men. You connOt be good men, manly
men, without the spirit of God surround
ing your every effort. You cannot be
manly men and cringe. or sink your
personality under false garb. You
must rely greatly upon Yourself We
can all become good useful citizens and
lead happier. better lives; but we mnst
never forget this one fact. that the
dOingsO rests with ourselves. The days
of miracles are of the past. God gives
to every man health, strength, an
active body and mind, man himself
does the rest. He may build UP repu-
tation that the world may not assail, or
like ourselves, in moment of weak
ness, he may destroy what in the begin
ming was intended for better purposes.
While there is life there is hope; but let
us get right down to the belief of this
truth, that reputation, name once
lost is lost forever; it can never be re-
deemed-we can make new one, but
never recall that which was lost. So
ciety never did, never will tear down
the line that has ever existed between

of Minnesota, will spend the winter in

governor speaks kindly of our paper
and expresses his desire to have the
same forwarded to him at his new
home, Pasadena, California. Governor
Marshall is kindly remembered by some
of the old time inmates, as man of
the most sterling qualities of mind and
heart. Coming to Minnesota at an
early age, he located at St. Croix Falls,
where he sold goods, dealt in lumber,
and took an active part in everything
that tended to build up the country.
Elected to the first Minnesota territor-
ial legislature in 1849 From 1851 to
1862 he successfully engaged in bank
ing, dairy farming and stock raising.
During the latter year he enlisted in
the Seventh Minnesota Volunteer In
fantry. and at the close of the war
was in command Of that regiment;
and for merltorious services was
breyeted brigadier general. Twice
elected governor of Minnesota 1855
1860 Governor Marshall has held
many highly important positions and
always with the highest credit to
himself and the welfare of the state.
THE MIRROR voices the sentiment of
every inmate who has had the pleasure
of meeting Gov Marshall when it says:

peace SO long and honorable d career

THE MIRROR is weekly paper published

THE MIRROR is a weekly paper published
in the Minnesota State Prison. 1t was founded
ih 1887 by the prisoners and is edited and man
aged by them. Its objects are to be a home
newspaper; to encourage moral and intellectual
improvement among the prisoners; to acquaint
the public with the true STATUS of the prisoner;
to disseminate pathological information and to aid
in dispelling that prejudice which has ever been
the bar sinister to a fallen mans sefredemption.
The paper is entirely dependent on the public for
its financial support. If at any time there should
accrue surplus of funds the money would be
expended in the interests of the prison library.
