THE Lansing (Kan) Ne1cs, edited by
John Higgins, who was for number
of years Deputy Warden of the Kansas
penitentiary, speaking of the petition
recently sent to Governor Budd by the
seventy life prisoners in the San QUEEN
tin, Cal, penitentiary begging him to
inaugurate the annual custom of grant
ing executive clemency to one of their
number whose good conduct merits
favor, says:
1.-The NelCs heartily endorses the
above and we believe every prison man
will do the same. We have always be-
lieved in committing the sentences of
life and long term prisoners on their
record of good conduct in long years of
prison life. We have in our mind sew
eral life and long term men now in the
prison, and others who have died and
are almost forgotten, who would have
gone out to become good citizens were
this the custom in this state, but who
now see little hope for themselves.
They have been recommended to the
Board of Pardons by the different
Wardens, been before the board and
pleaded for clemency on their good con-
duct for many years, yet there is no
hope held out to them. They see other
men, convicted of similar crimes, who
do not make half the effort to do their
work and observe the rules, pardoned
because they have friends to assist
them, while their friends have left the
state, died or forgotten them, and still
they plod on, hoping against hope
with no one to encourage them but
their officers. No one knows them but
him. The writer has worked them and
watched them for years, and believes
that man who lives the life of pris-
oner for a long term of years, under a
life sentence, knowing he is making
no good time, would certainly respect
the law and become a good citizen if
pardoned. The system ought to be
adopted in this state. 1t would be a
wonderful help to discipline and save
many poor fellow from insanity"

IT is severe test of friendship to
cling to one who has passed through
the disgrace of criminal trial that
ends with a penitentiary sentence. But
there is true friendship in the world
today, and if we will but acknowledge
that our troubles are of our own max
ing and endeavor to bear them peni-
tently and manfully instead of railing
at false friends and storing up bitter
ness of heart against those who have
abandoned us in the hour of sore dis
tress; then when the black clouds of
dependency lower around us, when in
our despair we cry out that we stand
alone, forsaken and forgotten by all,
there will come a message of friend
ship that will again kindle within the
soul the spark of hope. 1t is then that
we realize that the friendship of good
men and women is more to be desired
than all else the world can give. In
the bright days of early manhood, when
youth and health paint all things
roseate hue, we are apt to lightly es-
TEEN friendship; but old age and sor-
row come to all alike, and happy is he
who has travelled beyond the summit
of life's journey if he can say, as he
totters on the downward path that

EDITOR SATTERLEE, of the Atwater
Republican, has a lengthy and inter
esting write-up of the prison, and our
entertainment on Washington's birth
day, in the current number of his paper
MIR. Satterlee was pleased with all he
saw, and he advises those who have
business in Saltwater to visit the pris-
on-not as a desirable place for long
residence, but for the lesson in life and
humanity that careful observer can
learn. Speaking of those who laid their
cases before the Governor in the hope
of executive clemency, he says: "After
hearing some of their stories we have
decided that hereafter we shall be slow
to criticize the granting of pardon
till we have all the facts of the case"
Bro. Satterlee was careful to state that
it was the first day he had ever spent
in penitentiary, but we think this
was entirely unnecessary. He says the
day spent in the 'pen" was fully en-
joyed, and this we can we'll understand
but we would be neglecting our plain
duty did we not warn our brother that
the low of DriSOn life soon naIIc Nv
perience has taught us that there is
more unalloyed happiness to be found
in days visit to the pen than there
is in whole lifetime of imprison-
ment.

VALEDICTORY.

WITH this issue of THE MIRROR
our editorial control of the paper ends
and younger and more competent
man will try to solve the vexed prob
lem of criminal reform during the
time he is not more actively engaged
in running to earth the Elusive prison
local. We deem it proper to state
that this change is made at our request,
and 1--we hope, and believe, that our con-
nection with the paper has made us
no enemies. For over eight months
we have worked hard in the endeavor
to get out good paper, and during
this time we have earnestly tried to
please all and antagonize none. That
we have failed to keep the paper up
to the standard maintained by our
predecessors we freely admit, but to
what extent we failed our readers
must judge. We entered upon our ed
itorial duties with diffidence, knowing
that we lack many essential qualities
that contribute to success in news paper
work, so we step down to subordi-
nate position without regret-having
the satisfaction of knowing that we
did all in our power when we gave our
best energies to the work; and as long
as we remain member of THE MIR
RoR force we shall cheerfully give our
successor all the assistance in our
power, and defer to his desires in all
things with the sincere wish and belief
that our paper will in the future DO
better than ever before and more fully
accomplish the aims sought. To our
exchanges, whose friendly criticisms
have been to us a great encouragement
in time Of doubt and dependency: to
the officers and guards who have, with
out single exception, given us as
free scope in the performance of our
duties as was compatible with good
discipline, we desire to express our
sincere thanks, and we bespeak for
our successor the same fair and kindly
treatment
