of the absurdity Of turning man loose who has to
be paid to refrain from stealing after getting
him in the right place

The futility of "sweat box methods has been
once more made evident Oscar Thompson, the
man suspected of being accomplish Of Bartholin
in the killing Of Minnie Mitchell in Chicago, ICON
fessed" everything the police wanted him to while
in the sweat box and later said that his confession
was untrue from first to last He said he was
bounded and badgered to such extent that he
would have sworn to anything in order to get relief
exactly as anybody else would have done under
like circumstances. When the inquisitors finally
finished with the man his nerves were, according to
the Associated Press report, $50 badly shaken that
he appeared unable to comprehend what being
done in his behalf" and the attorney his friends had
employed found him in such condition that he
could not discuss the case with him.
This sweat box method of inquiry seems to be 9
game of heads win and tails you lose" for the man
wearing the blue Clothes but it is the very dell fol
the other fellow. He's got to lose any way you put
it, If he doesn't make the desired confession he is
badgered and bullied into nervous prostraton if he
confesses he goes to prison. It all comes to the
same thing in the end the sensible thing for the
man placed in the sweat box to do is to to any
thing and everything required of him at the time
and trust to good fortune and his attorney to dsprove
his statements later.

anything else. Neither has any
body's disbelief prevented the
world from progressing with al
most lightning rapidity. Advance
ment in some things has been
retarded in considerable measure
by narrow-minded persons and
nations. In it's diurnal rotation
on it's axis, the earth travels at the
rate of 1,037 miles per hour, and in
its orbit 66,O92 miles an hour.
Yet, as swift as is this movement
of the earth. it may be said that
the world, or at least the western
hemisphere, is keeping pace with
it in invention, science, progress
sive ideas, etc., etc.
Who would have believed a few
years ago the wonders that have
been achieved by steam and electric
ity? Who would have believed a
few years ago that it was possible to
invent and construct the thousands
of different kinds Of machines and
instruments to perform the bulk
of the thousands of kinds of labor
of the world? Who would have
believed few years ago that it
would be possible to travel 100
miles per hour by steam or electric
ity in 1902? Who would have
believed few years ago that it
would be possible to travel 200
milesan hour by electricity in 1905?
Who would have believed a few
years ago that would be possible
to cross the ocean by airship in
1903 or to cross the Atlantic by
airship in single day before 1906,
or to go from New York to San
Francisco in day? or to conduct
voices and music hundreds of
miles, instantaneously, through the
medium of wire or without even
wire? Who would now believe
the possibilities of many Of the
inventions and progress Of the
future?
Who would have believed few
years ago that an Englishman,
would have praise for anything
American in 1901 and that through
the medium of the London Daily
Telegraph on September 9th, 1901,
one of those solid men would say
of Americans, "They are citizens
of a country which has attained
the highest level of average pros
perity that the world has ever seen.
She can dispense with the world
in case of absolute need. She is
the greatest producer of food and
raw material, as we'll as the possess
sor of the most efficient manufac-

republic is thirty times as large as
our own island. Her harvests are a
sea of golden grain stretching over
many times the entire area of the
British Islands. The United States
raises nearly two thirds of the raw
cotton of the world. The coal area
of the United States is far wider
than that of all Europe together"
There were several columns of
similar praise of good things of
this country.

It is said these birds know when
there is going to be an increase in
the royal family of Japan and can
foretell whether the new arrival
will be prince or princess. There

palace wall, in whose branches,
for hundreds Of years, just prior
to birth in the royal family, the
storks have built their nests. Ii
these nests are built in upper

There was an instance few weeks

Few people seem to estimate
properly the value of what is

tirely too much of this in the

away half Of their time. Even in
our leisure hours the mind may
often be pro6tably employed with
out exertion.
In the cases of a great many
men who would have the world

CURIOUS yarn is making the rounds of the
newspapers just now. It is to the effect that one
Charles Becker notorious forger at present serving
term in the San Quentin, California prison, is to
be subsidized to the tune of $500 month 'sjust to
be good" The story is alleged to be- founded on a
statement made by j. N. Oliver, an official at San
Quentin who says Mr.. Beckers monthly stipend will
be paid "out of the protection fund of the American
Bankers Association" Becker, who will soon be
released from prison, is said to be such dangerous
person that it is cheaper to pay him to be with you
than to have him "agin' you
The tale has all the earmarks of lie In the
first place. what possible assurance, other than the
bare word of notorious criminal would the Bank
ers' Association have that Becker would "be good
after receiving his monthly allowance? None what
ever. And in the second place, no responsible body
of like the bankers of America would be likely
to fly in the face of public opinion to the extent OF
substituting crime. Think of paying some one to
refrain from stealing your property!
As stated above the story has all the earmarks OF
lie, but there are things in heaven and earth not
dreamed of in philosophy and it may be possible
that Becker really will receive his $780, $50,
whatever the sum may be, each month. If there is
any truth at all in the story The MIRROR would sug-
gest that the money could be better employed in
educating Legislators to appreciate the advantages Of
the indeterminate sentence law. This law would
deal with such men as Becker in satisfactory
manner. He'd stay just whore he i nov. Think

Never bet on the best looking
horse simply because Of his ap-
pearance. You may think you are
wise enough to judge judiciously,
but you are not. The best look
ing animal is often the most infe-
rior and the worst looking one is
frequently the best. Even figures
sometimes lie. A Saltwater man
in st. Paul the other night followed
good looking figure six blocks,
missed his Saltwater train, fell

cit SEEMS to me- said "Cherokee' Hall, after
walking up and down the frame of the "Stinging
Lizard" who striving to introduce novelties into
the great American game, "it seems to that has
of this sort O thing to do than any sport in
the territory of Arizona" And if the editor of The
MIRROR isn't called on to make more apologies than
any paper sport in the state of Minnesota he'd be
happy to meet the other fellow and commiserate
him.
The story entitled GA Lost Opportunity" which
appeared over the signature III. g." in last weeks
issue of this paper as an original tale was not
original with 81. g. We learn that it went the rounds
of the western press years ago and has recently
taken new lease on life. In justice to III. g.. how
ever it is only fair to state that he is yro at the
trade of putting his thoughts paper and says that
he had no idea it out of place to copy from the
writings of others.
For the benefit of our arrivals who may be
laboring under like misapprehenson, again wish
to emphatically state that plagarzing is dishonest
and that all contributions to The MIRROR which are
not original matter must be properly credited This
business of showing men up is the most disagree
able task that falls to the lot of The MIRROR but for
the sake of those who are working for the papers
success it will be done whenever it is necessary.

MARK TWAIN can't help being funny. His
remarks are humorous even when he intends they
shall be serious. One of his recent utterances is
very characteristic. The trustees of the Denver
public library in fit Of puritanical idiocy decided
to remove "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
from the shelves of that institution owing to it's
alleged immortality. The Denver Posi-, an enter
prising newspaper, wired Mr.. Clements for an ex-
preston of his opinion the action of the library
trustees. His reply wouldn't have been funny if
he hadn't intended it to be taken seriously. He
said General Funston no less is responsible for the
ostracism of "Huck Finn" his grounds for this
belief being the following: Since the capture of
Aguinado, Twain has said some cutting things about
Gen. Funston; the latter is now stationed near
Denver; many Denver people want to get ION the
right side" of the general commanding the depart
ment of the Colorado; the easiest way to accomplish
this is to injure Mark Twain, the generals most
critic; therefore they declare Huck Finn" to
be an immoral book and take it oat of the library
Oh excellent logic!
To one who knows Denver nothing could be
more absurd than Mark Twains suspicious While
Fort Logan is only about five miles ont of the city,
it might as well be fifty far the average Den
verte is concerned It is safe to say that not of
the public library trustees knows Gen. Funston to
speak to, while the general probably doesn't know
any of them even by sight Only man suffering
of such Importance that strangers are going to
take sides in his quarrels. How suspicious do
warp the intellect

UNDER the caption Scientific Fakes the
Chicago Chronicle makes few timely remarks re-
gardng some of the discoveries of the last quarter
of century. It calls attention to the fact that
many of the secrets of nature which at the time OF
their espyment thought to be of great value in
the commercial world have in reality turned out to
be of comparatively small commercial value. The
revolution which they to cause never materi.
allied.
Liquid air, for instance, expected to per-
form all the work Of steam and much of the work OF
electricity; but we have yet to locomotive
propelled by liquid air. It has, however, been
good thing for some persons AS the Ch,ou,ee says
'The capital of the liquid air company was nominay
100000 in shares of $40 each. United States
senators appeared among the directors and pro-
motors. cotere of the directors issued large
quantities of stock to themselves and sold it as
pany stock, pocketing half million dollars. In
the bankruptcy court of Manhattan the scheme has
been completely exposed. Liquid air was scien-
tifc and financial fake and magnfcently successful
one"
Continuing the Chronicle very truly says: "Wire-
less telegraphy for commercial purposes land bids
fair for short time to become almost equally sue
cessful along the same double lines The credulous
are still waiting for proof that their stock is worth
anything in selling market Proof is still lacking
that wireless elegraphy has practical value except
within obvious limits at sea- There is no indication
is prudent to wait for demonstration before putting
money up on specious phenomena or rainbow prom
ises."

member read II cable dispatch which
he had received offering freight from

similar offers. This freight is not
remunerative but is the outcome of
competition. II is 2is Sd below the
lowest freight rate from England.
The merchants do not see how the
Americans are able to offer such
low rates. Nevertheless. they are

they can order in the United States.

Proposition That Catholic Church Teachers

Washington, July l5.-Additional
instructions were sent to Gov. Taft
at Rome upon the return of Secretary
Root from Oyster Bay, where he
went Saturday to consult with Pres
ident Roosevelt concerning the nego-
tiations with the vatican with
respect To the questions involved in
the proposal made by the United
States that the friars be withdrawn
from the Philippines.
Notwithstanding the reports from
Rome, said by the officials here to
cmanate from church sources, 10 the
effect that the negotiations include
the question of church teaching In
the public schools, il is positively said
on the best authority that this qucs-
ton does not form part of the NO.
gotiationS. On AT least two occasions
the vatican h0s sought Ia inject this
subject into the negotiations, hut
IL has been automatically avoided by
Gov. Taft in his replies, and he is tn
be told by Secretary Root to make
il clear to the council of cardinals
that under the laws Of the United
States there can he No recognition of
church teachings in the public
schools.
In view Of this declaration, II is not
thought likely that the United States
will agree tn the proposition made to
Gov. Taft that the primary schools of
the Philippines be conducted by
church teachers. II is now determined
10 insist upon the withdrawal Of the
Spanish friarS as a condition prccc-
dent to the final purchase Of the
church lands in the islands.
IL Is thought here that the church
will recognize the usclcssncSS of re-
SiSting the American terms, MS in The

tionS the Philippine government will
