The Board of Managers Of
penal institutions having the Re-
formatory or Parole systems now
have an opportunity to show their
own patriotism, and give their
wards an opportunity to cleanse
their character of the blot of in
fanny caused by Imprisonment.
Every worthy man eligible to
parole or discharge should be
given an opportunity to go to the
front and show the stuff he is
made of. If a man takes his
chances of yellow fever and Span
ish ''lead poisoning it will GER
tainly tend to mitigate the stigma
of "ex-convict," and if he is
killed his death would certainly
be sufficient reparation to Society
and might be some consolation to
his relatives in that he cleansed in
blood the name he had unwittingly
dishonored. Not all of the sim
cere men in the institution who
would be glad to avail themselves
of the opportunity to thus retrieve
their character are at present
eligible, but we trust that our
Board of Managers will look
favorably on the cases subject to
their action.

IF YOU have no confidence in
others you cannot expect them to
have any confidence in yourself
or your principles. The business
of the world is built upon credit
The confidence Of one business
man in the integrity of another
has been the greatest stimulus to
business honor. Had the old sys-
tenn of barter for immediate value
received been perpetuated every
other man would still be consid-
cred designing thief, and the
colossal business concerns Of today
would be but myths. If the same
business methods were adopted in
stimulating the morals of the
fallen like good result might GER
tainly be expected. The same ell
ement of risk must be accepted
the riskers may occasionally be
chagrined at the ingratitude of 6
trusted one, but it is the final, the
net results that should be summed
up. No business was ever created
without a certain element of risk
No great moral progress will eve1
be made without assuming the
risk of a small percentage of recall
citrants.

are, in too many cases, debarred
from the ranks of honest workers.
unless they are content to buck
wood or wash dishes for their
board.
One positive requisite to touch
ing the right spot is to first bear
in mind that a man is still man
no matter what his present condi-
ton may be. He has all the
feelings that were his in freedom
and will be swayed by the same
noble or ignoble impulses that
would affect him as a citizen.
That men have been convicted of
wrong doing and are being cor
rected therefor is no reason WHY
they should be looked upon as a
distinct class entirely removed
from the estate of manhood that
was theirs previous to conviction.
Yet such is the erroneous idea
upon which a number of people
base their opinion of the so-called
fallen.
In church, in school, in bust
ness or in prison, if you would
succeed in achieving the greatest
good, you must have the cooper
alton of the ones to be benefited.
To reclaim the erring one you
must credit him with possessing
at least a small complement of
reasoning power and common
sense, and you must arouse his
interest to expand these. Show
him that you are his friend and
he may be led with ease. Show
him that vindictiveness and re-
venge form no part of your rule
over him, and, if he possesses a
moiety of manhood, you will have
little trouble in touching the right
spot in his moral makeup.

The spirit of patriotism that
o'erspreads America in the present
crisis should be an index to for
eign powers of the binding quail
tiles of a truly democratic repub-
lie. Foreign nations with their
cumbersome standing armies of
practical slaves are awe-stricken at
the rapidity with which this coun-
try is enabled to put hundreds of
thousands of willing fighters into
the field, we'll armed and
equipped, every man king, fight
ing in a combat that, like a king,
he looks upon as personal battle
for his throne of liberty and the
honor Of This freside.

INSPIRING lessons may be CLEANED
from the foolhardiness of our fell
lowmen. To watch a man who is
fretful and peevish, who goes off
on astangent at the least obstacle,
is like listening to and needing
the vagaries Of a man sailing along
with a full cargo Of Donnybrook-
fair booze. He does everything
possible to place obstacles in his
own path, and then frets because
they are there. And yet there are
many Of us who note the foolish
ness of this in others and in ten
minutes thereafter will be splutter-
ing about in the same manner
Then we get mad if a friend init
mates that we remind him Of a
monkey.

The women of the United States
may feel justly proud of the rec
ord of womankind in this country
According to statistics it is found
that two-thirds Of the church
members of the country are women
Of the criminal population, Amer
lean women are represented by
only one thirteenth. And this
thirteenth includes all the fallen
women who are occasionally ar
rested for petty offenses. If the
''fallen men''-that is, the ones
who have fallen from the rigid
moral standard set for women
were counted in the criminal col
umn in which they belong, we
would be afraid to look at THEIR
percentage.

TOUCHING THE RIGHT SPOT.

1T IS ADMITTED on all sides that
human nature is much the same
the world over. No matter how
bad man may have been, it has
been shown that it is possible to
reclaim him-to bring him to a
full realization of his duties as a
man. To do so, however, it is nee
essary to touch the right spot to
arouse his latent manhood.
A good illustration of the power
that may be exercised over body
of men, is in the story of Napo-
Icons triumphal return from his
exile on the island of Elba. Prac-
tically every hand in France was
then up in arms against the former
emperor A military legion, Of
which Marshal Ney was the chief
spirit, started to meet Napoleon
and bring him a prisoner to Paris.
Napoleon was accompanied only
by a small body Of Polish Lancers.
When he met the French battal-
ions he exclaimed: "Soldiers Of
the Fifth, do you recognize me?"
And the men who knew his
proves and skill as a commander
cried out in unison eyes, yes!
Long live the emperor" Napo-
leon haG touched the right spot. -
Instead of returning prisoner he
entered Paris triumphant and
ousted the men who but a short
time before had sent their legions
against him. The effect of his
words changed the destiny of
France. The men sent to capture
him returned under his leadership,
willing slaves won over by strong
personality that in simple words
appealed to their sense Of honor.
This simple story illustrates
what is possible in this or any age,
by touching the right spot. Men
who have fallen deep in the vale
of infamy, as we'll as those who
have only made the first false step,
are susceptible to the right infu-
ence. The best authorities on
criminal matters have shown con-
clusively that few, if any, men re-
main in a criminal career if an
opportunity is given them to follow
an honest life. Bob Pinkerton, in
his article in the Iroquois Maya
zine, reprinted in last weeks
MIRROR, cited instances of former
''habitual thieves" who we're now
trusted employees, handling sums
of money that would be a severe
temptation to any ordinary man,
and evincing pride in the conf
dence reposed in them. Mr.. Pink
erton is not theorist; he has had
a large experience and personal
acquaintance with the worst (that
is the most successfully thieves of
the day, and he knows whereof he
speaks. He is strong believer
that most thieves are forced to re-
main such for the reason that
other avenues of making a liveli-
hood are closed to them. They

is to be hoped that the people in
terested in having advanced prison
methods inaugurated in Kentucky
will be successful in convincing
the governor and legislature of the
value of the humane system of
dealing with offenders.

POVERTY may sometimes be a
disgrace when it is due to the
habits of pauperism. With the
man who will not work-who pre-
fers charity to honest toil-pov-
erty is more than a disgrace, it is
a crime. But the lowliest labor is
always dignifed, and the poverty
that is concomitant with mental
toll is an honor rather than a
DISGRACE.

THE MIRROR is a 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 selfredemptiOn.
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.

dealing with inmates. It appears
that the Legislature had passed a

The authorship of the much-dis-
cussed elmer Experiences Of a
Cabinet Members Wife," printed
in The Ladies' Home Journal, will
be revealed in the June issue of
that magazine, when the name Of
Anna Farquhar will appear as the
author. It is surmised that the
domestic experiences described in
these letters were those Of Mrs. w.
H. H. Miller, wife Of the Attorney
General in President Harrison's
Cabinet since Miss Farquhar is
known to be a personal friend of
the Miller family, and to have
spent considerable time with them
in Washington during their official
residence there. The author of
these letters was born and raised
in Indianapolis, in neighborly re-
lations with the Harrison and
Miller families, but for ten years
past she has lived a studious pro-
fessional life in New York, London
and Boston.
