THE MIRROR is weekly paper published

THE MIRROR is 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 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 fallen mans self-redemptiOn.
The paper is entirely dependent on the public for
its financial support. If at any time there should
accrue a surplus of funds. the money would be
expended in the interests of the prison library.

Donahoe's for November is one
of the most interesting of the years
numbers Of this popular monthly,
happily combining articles of re-
search and study with lighter
sketches and stories. Judge Nor
gan O'Brien of New York discusses
Catholic Education in the United
States, setting forth the results of
forty years of the parochial school
system. An article of much
thought and literary worth is that
on the Prospects for English Po-
etry" by John Dennis; a delight
full sketch of the personality, trav-
els and books of Charles Warren
Stoddard is from the pen of j. n.
Ingram; Father Tom Burke's
"Wit and Mimicry' is very enter
tanning reading, and "a Historical
Catholic Cemetery by Lyman
Horace Weeks, recalls much of the
life Of New York City a century
ago. The illustrated articles are
"A Bicycle trip along the Irish
Rhine" by w. P. O'Callaghan
with views and description of the
famous Cistercian Monastery Of
Mount Melleray; and ''The Old
California Missions" being a Sec
ond paper Of much historical value
on this subject by James Connolly.
Poetry of a high order is contrib
uted by Katherine E. Conway and

FACTORY EVILS.

uC PO1ICttI1IS VI IHOCIloIIISo1 uO-
vices for displacing human labor
and old methods of production,
served to concentrate the scattered
members Of a particular craft I'M
der one systematized aggregation
of industrial energy, having vastly
superior facilities for both produc-
ton and distribution. With the
introduction of the factory system
all other agencies of production
crumbled to decay, all usages Of
commerce conformed and all ideas
Of industrial progress enlisted to
further it's advancement.
Much as it has improved the
moral and material welfare of HUI
manity, advanced the cause of civ
ilization and extended the range of
human activity, Intellectually and
industrially there are yet in the
factory system evils which, while
not wholly removable, can be ma
terially lessened. The competitive
strife that marks the life of trade
and the feverish desire to excel, to-
gether with the multiplicity of jar
ring interests inseparable from the
ever widening influence of COM
merce and manufacture combine to
keep in the background the inter
est of the workers, the real force of
industrial life. The wealth that is
derived from their labor refuses to
use it's power and influence in adj
ministering to their higher needs
the moral and intellectual.
The sweat-shop, which is slavery
complete, masked with the mockery
of half-rewarded toll, exists as a
nursery of immortality for the
thousands of young girls forced by
necessity intoits corrupting meshes.
Long hours. ceaseless toll and
meagre wages are the strong enc
mics of virtue that have united to
drag down many thousands of care
fully reared girls in shame, misery
and early death. Around the
sweat-shop are clustered every
temptation. every allurement of
vice. immortality and crime. Cooped
up in the narrow confines of work
shops: away from sunshine, fresh
air and the influence of home asso-
Citations, the probabilities of a girl
morally degenerating are always Of
the strongest, and it is useless to
preach morality when their mate
rial needs are neglected.
1t might be claimed, with much
truth, that factory discipline is too
severe. 1t exacts not only con-
slant attention and unremitting
labor, but demands machine-like
obedience to rules that are as USE
less as. they are harsh, and, in
many cases, would be considered
onerous in a prison. Following in
these factory ruts destroys indie
pendence and ambition, and units
the worker for responsibility. He
becomes one-ideaed and incapable
of engaging in any class of work
outside of his single habit Of ac-
ton.
The greatest obstacle in the way
of industrial reform is competition.
This, of course, can not be re-
moved, commercially or Legislative
ly. But many evils could be modi-
fled by public sentiment bearing
on the right quarter, and compell-
ing recognition of the common
rights of humanity that are now
denied in many features Of indus
trial life. Sweat-shops should be
condemned as disgrace to civil
zation, and their promoters made
to feel the sting of both public
opinion and Legislative enactment.

The Northwestern LAUNDERING

The Northwestern Lumberman
celebrates the sound money victory
and return to business by issuing
a large extra edition with an illu-
minated cover. Besides a vast
amount of valuable reading matter,
the extra contains more than one
hundred pages of illustrated adver-
tisements. In it's every feature,
the Lumberman, as a trade journal,
is intensely national, and supreme
in the field it represents.

y LITERARY NOTES. "

In the st. Louis and Canadian
Photographer for November, Abra-
ham Bogardus continues his adj
mirable series of articles on Pho
Biography. Doing" is the title of
this months contribution, and he
writes entertainingly on matters Of
interest to the craft. ''Leaves
from My Note Book" by w. N.
Danvers, is rich with instruction
and friendly advice. Echoes from
the Studio" by G.. Hammer CROUCH
ton, and peace be to Their
Ashes" by A. X. Ray, are papers
we'll worth careful study. The
pictures of the number are many
and beautiful. The frontispiece,
Mothers JOY" is an excellent ex-
ample of composition, both Of
light and shade, and linear. The
number in it's entirety is fully up
to the Magazines high standard.
The Northwest Magazine for
November opens with a descrip-
tive article on the "Grand Forks
Street Fair" by j. G.. Hilderbrand,
in which the great holiday week
Of the Red River Valley is breezily
described. A ''Prospectors Trip"
by L. A. Osborne, and unto the
Mountains by Mae Van Norman
graphically depict scenes peculiar
to the far west. One of the in
teresting features of the number
and one which makes this months
issue of especial value to the west
ern farmer is the first paper on
clarifying in Minnesota" showing
the pasturage and climatic advan-
tages of this state for successful
dairying. The paper is given add
ed value by map prepared by the
State Dairy Commission showing
location of every creamery in the
state, with many fine views.
In every feature November
Northwest is up to the standard
and maintains it's reputation as the
leading literary production of the
northwest.

there is a hitch in the proceedings and

terday at the meeting of the county com
missioners, nor was it ordered signed
Officials and contractor were alike non
communicative about the matter, but it
was learned from certain county resi-
dents that the hitch is over the right Of
way. The parties owning the land neces-
sary for the road to the bridge. it is
said. have put the price up to figures re-
garded as fanciful by the county commits

tract until the right of way is secured.
