To demOnstrat tie the high respectable
ity the prison journals of the land have
attained, a large firm of New York
advertisers wind up their ad in one of
the best prison papers, THE MIRROR
by saying: ave refer to this publica-
ton and the National Bank Weekly

Yes, and I'll tell you one thing, THE
MIRROR is about the last paper in the
country any one would be allowed to
refer to if they were not all right.
If the editor of THE PRISON MIRROR
would retain the goodwill of the editors
and maintain his record for saying the
right thing and saying it well, let him
assiduously guard his pen during the
balmy days now at hand, for it is writ
ten "Let not myself indulge in spring

ishnent.

The celebrated Dellenbaugh-
Burke case in Cleveland has finally
been decided. The two princi-
pals, of whom one, Judge Dellen-
Dough, still sits upon the circuit
bench, have both been disbarred.
The charge was made that they
had, while in the position Of at
torney and judge in case, levied
blackmail to the extent of $4,000.
The action, which was taken by
the Cleveland Bar Association,
does not carry with it any other
penalty than prohibition from
practicing as attorneys in the courts
of Ohio. The Judge will continue
on the bench, an ornament to a
profession that contains more
scoundrels than all the others put
together.
They will not be sent to the
penitentiary for their crimes, be-
cause the parties whose duty it
would be to prosecute, are them
selves living in glass houses. In
deed, had it not been for the fact
that these two precious unhung
jackalls fell out this matter would
never have been heard Of.
It is fortunately seldom that a
judge is caught at this nefarious
business, though many Of them
travel on railroad passes, but on
the other hand, if the lawyers who
make it practice to job and rob
their clients were published, and
properly dealt with the present
overcrowding Of the legal profess
sion would disappear, and the
penitentiaries would instead need
expansion.

Few things will help a person
so much as love for and interest in
the work he has to do. This is no
less true in prison than in every
mans life, but in prison, it is per-
haps not so often shown, because
the occupations there are compar-
atively few and the course pursued
by the state in the employment of
prison labor has made it of but
very little importance to a mans
future whether he learns it thor
oughly and takes interest in it or
not, and very few men will, when
liberated, attempt to make a living
by the same labor at which they
have been employed in prison. 1t
is apparently Of little consequence
in the estimation of the lawmakers
whether a mans stay in prison
improves his opportunities of earn
ing an honest living. A more
weighty and momentous question
is the opportunities of the farmers
for buying their bindertwine at less
than market prices.
But to come back to our original
proposition, the throwing Of a
mans soul into his work is the
only sure road to success. The
man who takes interest in his work
is the one that soon makes him.

in my time a carrier Of a dinner

The employees who devote not

scarce than hens teeth. Many
who have the ability to do so re-
frain on the principle that they are
not hired to do this or that, and
imagine that any little incidental
occurrence is an attempt at oppres-
sion, but the larger portion merely
does not care. With them it is a

The most important event IN
connection with this institution
that has taken place for a long
time is the announced resignation
of Deputy Warden F. H. Lemon,
which takes effect March Is.
The inside workings Of this
prison and the discipline thereof
could not have been better and
more smoothly maintained than
they have been under Deputy
Lemons supervision during our
presence here.
Many of The MIRRORS readers,
both prisoners and citizens will no
doubt be surprised when we inform
them that Deputy Lemon has been
associated with the workings of
this institution in one capacity or
another for % years.
Twenty three years is long
time and as Deputy Lemon is now
scarcely in the prime of life, he
was very young man when he
first came. He was an orphan boy
and a painter by trade. For the
larger portion Of the % years,
he was employed at his trade by
contractors of prison labor Eight
years ago this Feb. LIST. Warden
Garvin appointed him Deputy
Warden, which position he has
held ever since. He tells us that
there is not a prisoner here now
who was here when he first came,
and that there were between $50
and 200 here then.
We believe that we are voicing
the feelings of large majority of
the inmates of this institution
when we say that we regret that
Deputy Lemon has resigned his
position: but since he is more able
to Judge as to what is for his
welfare, than anyone else is, and
he deems it best for him to do so,
we assure him he has our good
wishes for the future.
We have taken pains to sound
the feelings of his worthy corps
of guards, and their feelings unan-
imously are Of deep regret that
he has resigned, and good wishes
for his future. When we asked
him if he would in the future
connect himself with a similar
institution, his answer was that
he did not know, that he was
going to take a good rest.
That's right Deputy, take rest
and may success crown your next
efforts.

the palace and the downy couch
rather than the howell and briar-

You do not have to look far in
