Crime in the worst form comes of
idlers. The young men who are seen
daily lounging about our streets. and
the boys who traverse streets, alleys
and common by night may not be
guilty Of crime, but the time is not far
distant when a large number of them
will be unless their habits are reformed.
What are the fathers and mothers
thinking about when, with the teach
lngs and experience of the past before
them, they permit their sons to hang
lazily about the corners, roost upon
dry goods boxes, or roam at will under
the cover Of night? If they would
make men and not loafers out of them
if they would make them useful mem
bers of society, and an honor to them
selves and family. they should give
them employment and make home
pleasant for them. The least that can
be said against an idler is that in the
midst Of busy throng who figure in
the world he is cipher. Young man.
get up and shake yourself. Go to
work. Do something. DO not be seen
hanging about doing nothing. Do not
allow yourself to be an idler.-Student's

WILLIAM MELIA, aged seven, and
Jesse Melia, aged three, were recently
found guilty of horse stealing at Rock
port, Ind and sent to the reform school
1t may be that reform school sentence
is necessary for the reformation of these
"criminaIs,' but it does seem to us that
a more speedy reformation could have
been effected by vigorous spanking.
However, the rights of property must
be protected, and we suppose it is a
great relief to the good people of Rock
port to know that these dangerous (?)
characters are safely "put away" where
they can no longer be a menace to So
ciety.

OUR exchanges have frequently com
mented on the typographical neatness
of our paper. and when we consider the
limited facilities our office affords for
learning the printers trade, and also
the fact that our foreman had no knowl-
edge of the trade previous to his coming
to the prison, it makes the commenda-
tions of our exchanges still more graft
flying. Our apprentices have had one
advantage, however, which has been of
great help to them in learning the art
of printing. We receive at our office
a number of excellent printers Jour-
mails, and these are carefully read by
everyone employed on THE MIRROR.
The Inland Printer, one of the best
Journals devoted to the art of printing
that we have ever seen, is not only read,
but every number is preserved for fut-
ure use and when a new man is as
signed to work in our shop he is given
the journals to read. No printer who
expects to amount to anything in his
profession can afford to be without a
good printers journal-and such is the
Inland Printer.

TODAY'S issue of The PRISON MIR
ROR is volume nine, number one of that
neat and ably conducted newspaper
which was launched in 1887 having
been run successfully eight years al
though there have been several editors
in charge during the years that have
rolled by. Although all of the boys
who handled the editorial pen no doubt
enjoyed the privilege, none of them up
to date have refused or declined their
liberty. The paper is now in good hands
and the editor is doing himself proud

AFTER all is said and done, the fact
remains that no rules devised by man
for the reformation of the criminal will
avail unless the criminal has within
him an earnest desire to do right and
the will power to learn patience, calm
ness and self-command. Injustice often
drives men to the bad, but no durable
good can be derived from an external
cause. Right principles must be wrought
in the mind and heart before there can
be thorough, complete reformation.

IunlSnmenC, Dy r. III. Wines, expert
special agent of the eleventh United
States census on crime, pauperism and
benevolence. Probably few people out
side of the legal profession have any
conception of how the laws vary for
the punishment of crime in the different
states. This is shown in the pamphlet
from which we quote few extracts:
"The maximum penalty for perjury
in New Hampshire, Connecticut and
Kentucky is 5 years; in Maine, Missis-
sippi and Iowa it is imprisonment for
life; in Missouri it is death, if the wit
ness designs thereby to effect the exc
cution of an innocent person. In Della
ware, on the other hand, perjury is pun
ishable by fine, without Imprisonment,
not less than $500 nor more than $4,000.
The maximum penalty for incest in
Virginia is s months; in louisiana the
minimum penalty is imprisonment for
life; in Delaware the penalty is simple
fine Of 500. The maximum penalty
for blgamy ranges all the way from 1
year in Delaware to 21 years in Jennes-
see. The maximum penalty for may
hem in Colorado is years: in Vermont
it is imprisonment for life. In Georgia
putting out one eye or Sitting or biting
Off the nose or lip is a misdemeanor,
for which the punishment cannot eX-
ceed 8 months in jail, year in the
county chain gang, and fine of s 600.
On the other hand, the penalty in Geor-
gia for castratiOn is DEATH but NAV be
commuted by the jury to imprisonment
for life. The maximum penalty for
arson of an unoccupied dwelling by
night, in Connecticut, Arkansas. Wyo-
ming, Colorado and Washington is 10
years: in Delaware, Virginia. North
Carolina and Louisiana, the penalty is
absolute and is DEATH The maximum
penalty for breaking and entering
dwelling by night in Arkansas is years:
in North Carolina the penalty is abso-
lutte and is death; in Louisiana it is
death, if the burglar is armed or makes
an assault, also in Delaware, if the in
tent is to commit murder, rape or ar
son."
When we take into consideration the
fact that the crime of lncestis punished
by simple fine in Delaware. and the
minimum penalty is imprisonment for
life in Louisiana, it seems that there is
a crying need for a uniform revision of
the criminal code.
