person who has served one or
more terms in prison, [ may be
excused for saying that he would
gladly commit perjury in order to
save himself an additional length
ofconfnement- measured in years,
which would come to him by his
telling the truth. What the an
swer of man would be who had
already been playing havoc with
the truth during the trial is easy
to guess.
The passage Of this law in Eng
land is sure to bring about a
considerable change in the whole
criminal situation, and it will be
interesting to note the increase or
decrease of convictions under it's
workings, as from those items it
will be possible to make deduc-
tons as to the number Of innocent
persons convicted because not
allowed to testify-or vice versa.

THE bad-blood between the negro
and white races in the South has
again eliminated in riots and
bloodshed, this time in North
Carolina, where number Of men
mostly negroes were killed and
the building and plant of daily
paper( negro) destroyed by fire.
Editors Of Nothern papers who
discuss these race troubles are
wont to use them as political argu-
ments. This is natural where po-
litical ammunition merely is want
ed and any incident or fact which
can be construed to the detriment
of the opposition party are seized
upon with avidity.
But at the bottom it is not a
question of party, for [ venture to
assert that if all the negroes Of
the South were to become Demo-
crates. the opposite political faith
would at once become popular
with the white population.
The ill-feeling between the races
in the South, far from subsiding,
is every day becoming more ag-
gravated. The reason for this is
that the rising generation Of the
African race is becoming educated
in large numbers, and among the
men leaders are coming forward
to urge their brethren to insist
upon the enjoyment of those equal
rights which the constitution con-
fers upon them, but which have
been withheld from them hithero
by force or intimidation.
1t is useless for men in the
North to view this question from a
distance and pronounce upon the
rights and wrongs Of it by the cold
application Of laws. The incontro-
vertible fact remains that educated
and impartial white men who came
from the North to settle in the
Southern States, and who have
been imbued from youth with the
Northern ideas of equality for the
negro, when confronted with the
facts at short range, Immediately
place themselves on the side OF
the Southern Democrats and as.
sist in suppressing the negro.

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 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.

WHETHER any state or country
should infict the death-penalty for
crime is being more or less dis
cussed at all times.
In states and countries where
the death-penalty has been abol-
ished it frequently happens that
the commission of serious or a
single atrocious murder will start
an agitation for it's reintroduction.
Such is the case in Colorado today,
such also in Switzerland.
It may be set down as fact
that no Christian nation inficts
the penalty. Those that do can
lay no claim to that name, for the
death penalty is a relic of the dark
ages and of barbarism. It is illog-
ical in the present day, when
society disowns the principle Of
retribution.
But it has several inherent dis
advantages. First and foremost
it does not punish for the de-
privation of material life or in
other words, the destruction of a
mans body, is no punishment.
More likely it is desirable thing
for the person himself.
Second-It reacts on society
itself by the brutalizing and hard
ening effect of the publication Of
the disgusting details.
Third-It damns the public Off
cial who must execute the work of
death, both in the opinion of him.
self and anyone who should hap
pen to know who "sprung the trap"
The hangman's odium is largely
lost in this country at least among
the natives. but by the foreign
part Of the population the execu-
toner is still an unspeakable
pariah.
Fifth-It always makes a hero
of the victim in the eyes of the
foolish and weak minded, and has
been known to lead to imitation.
1t will not be out Of place to
mention notorious example of
the latter:-When the King Gus
tavus III. of Sweden was assas-
sinated, the murderer, a nobleman,
was publicly executed with torture
on the great square in Stockholm.
The great fortitude displayed by
him during the terrible infections
SO impressed one Of the soldiers of
the guard that he a few days later
murdered one Of his officers with
out provocation, and for the
avowed purpose Of emulating the
stoicism and death Of the regicide.
The sight Of death and suffering
has most debasing influence on
the shallow. 1t awakens the ami
NAL which is sometimes covered
only skin deep.
[ do not advocate the abolish
ment Of the death penalty because
I think it cruel. 1t is not. But it
is totally inefficient and futile, and
there will always be a strong
doubt as to whether we are civil
lied, as long as it is inflicted.

rison, and it tells pretty much the
whole..story. That argument would
probably convert most white men
were they placed face to face with
the situation.
It is unnecessary to reiterate
the fact that the negro race in the
South receives little consideration
from the whites. A certain species
of crimes, the frequency of wuich
tends to keep alive constant fire
of resentment, is being held out
by the white population as an ex-
cuse not only for innumerable
lynchings but also for a general
resentment against the negro race
without discrimination. These
cruelties have in no wise tended to
decrease the frequency of the
crimes, but there can be no doubt
that they have had a tendency to
brutalize and blunt the finer feel
ings Of the executioners.
The race problem phases the
brightest men in the country
today. It would be idle for me to
assume to solve it. Segregation
seems impossible. But would it
not be we'll to consider the advisa-
bility Of transporting criminals of
the Southern States? We will
probably have plenty Of territory
which might be used for that pur-
pose. If a lawbreaker were sent
to the philippines and his family
allowed to accompany him and a
piece Of land given him, he would
be thenceforth eliminated from
the South, without the stain of
barbarism being put on the peo-
pie. It would tend to improve
those remaining, and give the
offenders a chance to work out
their own salvation in country
for whose climate they are fitted,
and which would make abundant
returns for any efforts Of cultiva-
ton.
AS the negro race in the South
is continually gaining over the
white in numerical strength, the
day must come when it will con-
troll, and that fact should be logic
ally met now. The rope, the Win
chester and the convict camp are
not logic.
