porting a family, marry. Again the
of altruism enters in. Strong
love for others; the feeling of social re-
sponsibility naturally awakened in
founding family; and many other con-
ditions pertaining to home life tend on
the whole to develop the character to-
ward ~self-control, self-sacrifice and
heroic endeavor; and SO far as the mar
ital relation tends toward these it tends
away from crime. But imagine i'm
proved economic conditions; the idea OF
woman marrying for living, uprooted;
women no longer driven to the streets
to exc out their scanty wage for their
own support or for that of those who
are dear to them; the work always
ready for the strong hand and the will
ing heart; the life and daily activity of
employer and employed relieved from
the merciless grind of the competitive
system; would not the happy homes re-
sulting prevent almost all the crimes
now committed by the married class
while the single would then dare to en-
ter the marital relation. Mr.. HysloE
seems to the Tribune to be especially
vulnerable on this point and in his
argument to have adduced nothing thai
contradicts the bible saying that 'the
destruction of the poor is the poverty.

An English woman physician, DIR.
Anderson Brown, has established an
industrial farm for inebriate women,
an experiment that, the New York
Times thinks, will be watched with in
terest by all students of social ecOnOm-
les, as well as the world of law and
order. The test is to be made under
the auspices of the Woman's Temper
ance Association, and one of its chief
features is to be the number of out
door occupants to be provided. Dr.
Brown is to be in charge, and from
the first the principle that drunken
ness is a disease will be recognized

The population of the Columbus Ohio,
State prison is 2,13O. OF this number
1856 are serving life sentences and 213
are U. S. prisoners. 1t requires 1000
pounds of bread, 400 pounds of meat,
400 gallons of soup, 5000 ears of corn or
Is bushels of tomatoes to satisfy the
appetites of this vast army of prisoners,
at a single sitting. Over twenty barrels
of flour are used daily to provide them

THE MIRROR is weekly paper published

THE MIRROR is a weekly paper published
in the Minnesota State Prison. 1t was founded
in 1887 by the prisoners and is edited and man
aged by them. Its objects are to be home
newspaper; to encourage moral and intellectual
improvement among the prisoners; to acqualnt
the public with the true STATUS ofthe prisoner;
to disseminate pathological information and to aid
in dspelling that prejudice which has ever been
the bar sinister to a fallen mans self-redemptlon.
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.

philosophy is this:

himself and to others through crime or
misfortune, it is his duty to send bull

When men, women or children become
burden to themselves or others
through crime or misfortune let them
be put out of the way. Some read of
the pagan custom of killing deformed
children, decrepit old men and helpless
old women. The crime of suicide is
increasing, but it keeps pace only with
the increase of insanity, and insanity
increases with the pressure laid upon
the lives of men by the age in which
we live.
A self-murderer is therefore either a
of insanity. AS usual, the prophet of
agnOsticism had to drag in religion in
to the controversy, as if religion had
anything to do with self murder, except
to condemn it, while the reference to

the figure ''2'' was plainly visible on one

by Captain Hunter closely resembles
