Bill Nye 3O188, writes a very ex-

fact Of Imprisonment was vested
very largely in the person commit
ted, that prisoner on being sent
to the 0. P. could on his arrival
there hew out his path and make
his future to be good or bad. He
clearly shows that pure literature

A NEW SCRIBE.

DuTlnS Ine PAST week d ClldASo
of editors has taken place. The
former editor has departed, con-
sequently we assume the title Of
captain General of this paper.
The title of editor is not ignored
as an unworthy and meaningless
honor. It is because our claim to
this distinction lacks several i'm
portant qualifications. An editor,
as you all know, requires not only
a thorough education and world
wide knowledge Of events and
human nature, but must possess
brain that is impervious to wear,
while anything can be utilized as
a Captain General.
Our Journalistic requirements
are not Of an eighteen karet brand.
Still we have sufficient confidence
in our ability to enable us to raise
the wind occasionally. The only
recommendation which we can
produce to establish our reputation
as writer, is the fact that one of
our ancestors used to keep a news
stand. This, we hope, will accord
us hearty welcome among the
foundation builders of society
yea editors.
Our predecessor was incapac-
itated on account of his arm
becoming strained by too frequent
use of the editorial shears. The
shears we have decided to let 60
on parole, as they have done noble
and heroic work.
To our inside readers we expect
that hearty support that is per-
soni6ed wherever harmony and
goodwill exists. Each contributor
shall receive the rank of general
and an honorable discharge on the
expiration of their sentence. This
weeks paper is practically an Off
shoot of the retiring editor, as the
change Of editors took place only
a few moments before the paper
went to press.
The MIRROR shall, under our
administration, be free to one and
all who wish to contribute for it's
columns, even though your Ms is
a hot roast intended for the editor.
An editor who can't stand criticism,
had better get in the pulpit instead
Of monkeying around a print shop.
In accepting the editorship we
do so with free rein and a be-
lief that every inmate has some
thing to say as to it's policy.

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.

temper justice with humanity;
but after the state has done all
that by law and humane admins
tration it can do, as Warden Coffin
has done, there remains still a
great work to be done. It is the
"after-work' which the Salvation
Army seeks to do.
Then there are those who be-
lieve it is practically impossible to
reform or save criminal: The
Salvation Army can produce not
only few instances which will
refute this assertion, but thou
sands can be massed for grand
review who have thronged the
Army homes, shelters and fac
tories, whose noble lives today are
an inspiration for more desperate
and widely extended efforts in the
field Of criminology. It is a hard
and rocky soil, I know, but with
proper care the seed of righteous
ness will grow and bring forth fruit
that will bless the world.
It is estimated that, since the
Salvation Army operations began,
upward Of one hundred thousand
criminals alone have been per-
manently saved. This, according
to my definition of the word,
means that they have renounced
the hidden things Of dishonesty,
walk no longer in craftiness, and,
further, have become abstainers
from rum and tobacco, and live
lives of industry that produce the
desirable fruits of righteousness
and peace.
Since General Booth launched
his social scheme for the ameliora-
ton of the submerged, it has since
been pushed to such marvellous
success that today they have ITO
slum posts, thirteen children's
homes, ninety-three homes for
women, twelve ex-convict homes,
% food and shelter homes, thirty
five labor bureaus, fifty-fve fac
tories, and fourteen farm colonies
the latter ranging from ESQ to
1000 acres with a capacity for
caring for $4,000 submerged NOR
tails every day, $1,000 miserable,
uncared for men, women and
children are given shelter every
night. When they launched this
scheme, he said it was the legiti-
mate outcome of his labor for the
salvation Of the poorest souls he
could find; that he often grieved
for their hunger for the ''bread
which perished," while he was
trying to induce them to receive
the BREAD of Life" and that, in a
small way, he tried to satisfy the
gnawing pangs of hunger before
reproving them for their sins, and
he found it ever so much easier to
get hearing when men had their
hunger appeased. That was in
deed practical religion.
What about the convict? The
same principle applies. The pris-
oners were willing, aye, often
anxious, to hear the Word of God
preached by men and women they
really believe live it, but how often
they have said: "Gladly would
we embrace the opportunity to be
Christians and be good, but the
water is too deep. We cannot get
out of our present predicament
without help" What do they
mean? Discharged with the brand
of Convict" across their foreheads,
they were marked men. Some
how or other detectives, police
officers and the newspapers have
not always considered their work
finished when the culprit was
lodged in prison. They have often
felt called upon to studiously watch
for his comming out, and, if he sin

said that:
'Stone walls do not prison make,
Nor iron bars cage;
Minds innocent and quiet take
That from hermitage"
A prison, yet not a prison! The
condition of the conscience and
the mind have not little to do
with the freedom, liberty and realm
of the individual.
I have no doubt the experience
Of Bunyan in Bradford Jail, where
for twelve long years he was con-
fined because of his logged per-
sistence in the fight for free speech
and religious freedom, was sweeter
than that Of many of his oppressors;
his hard, wooden bed softer and
easier than the downy couch Of
those who were free to wander
where they would There is not
the slightest doubt that the Jail
cells Of Philippi were less binding
to Paul and Barnabas than the
whole circumference of the city to
some of it's rulers who without the
feeling Of restraint, were at liberty
to "stroll at will"
Prisons must not be institutions
for punishment only, much less
extreme punishment, but rather
schools Of industry and reform.
Only recently, comparatively
speaking, has the study of crimi-
nology become father in our
land. Fifty years ago, to be an
unfortunate convict was to be a
fit subject for the lash and the
whipping post, the ducking stool,
the SOLITAIRE cell, the thumbscrew,
the stocks; to rise the eyes, smile
or move the lips without permis-
sion was objectionable, except
when the pardon was accompanied
by severe punishment. Thank
God and science that we are living
in this age Of progressive Chris
tian civilization. But pause and
look back for a single moment on
the dim vista of time and see a
serging battle superstition against
science. With punishment there
must be the ever constant effort to
save and reform the unfortunate
individual, viz.
First BY insisting upon life
Of industry while under restraint.
Second-The development Of
the highest idials Of morals in the
individual by the distribution of
pure literature and personal ap-
peals.
Thirdly the state furnishing
every possible development of
every individual, which happily is
the case in the Ohio state prison
under Warden E. G.. Coffin.
The purpose kept stedily in
view should be to send the indi-
vidual from the institution a re-
formed or saved man, with all the
elements Of honesty, sobriety and
industry aflame in his bosom, and
then they should see to it that
every man so leaving the prisons
Of our grand America shall have
the opportunity to begin life anew
with a reasonable hope of some
degree of success.
The position the Salvation Ar
my takes upon practically every
phase of human life is very gen.
orally known. It is we'll known
that the all important" with the
Army, in dealing with every class
of society, is the insisting upon
the personal salvation, the utter
most regeneration of the whole
man, body, soul and mind, by re-
pentence toward God and faith in
the Lord Jesus Christ, and the
baptism of the Holy Spirit, the
feeling and the expressing Of the
deepest sorrow for the wrong Of
