The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1903-05-14

DAY or two ago laboring man was publicly
reprimanded by a st. Paul Judge for allowing his
children to be dirty and to wear dirty clothes. He
defended himself by saying that he poor man,
and the judge is quoted having replied that pow
erty is for dirt, that soap and water are
cheap and that the man fought to be arrested for
letting the children run around dirty"
It is quite likely that in this particular instance
the facts justified the reprimand but general
thing the argument that poverty is for dirt
is specious. Poverty does should excuse dirty
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1903-05-14

AFTER spending several months in Eng land and
on the continent of Europe, Rev. William j. Bait,
chaplain of the reformatory at Concord Mass. has
issued an interesting pamphlet prisons at
Home and Abroad In the course of his travels
Mr.. Bait visited and inspected the principal penal
institutions of England, Scotland and France; and
he has been connected with prison work for nearly
of years his observations and conclusions
interesting and valuable.
Mr.. Bait finds that European prison buildings
are, on the whole, superior to those in America
The cells are larger, more provisions are made for
admitting fresh air and sunlight while the buildings
are generally more wholesome and sanitary The
industries too usually we'll adapted to the abili-
ties of the inmates and profitable to the state
On the other hand, however, Mr.. Bait says the
management and system of discipline of the best
European prisons not to be compared with the
best in this country. The prisoner in Europe is SUBJ
jected to a system of repression which in short
time transforms him into veritable machine with
out volition except that which comes from without
He lives so strictly by that individuality is sup
pressed and he becomes when left to himself mere
negative. eff the problem of the prison is simply
to hold the offender for given time in the greatest
security in the best physical health, at steady work.
then it seemed to me that the English prison had
nearly accomplished it's end" says Mr.. Bait. "But
if the problem of the prison is far larger than that
if the problem of the prison is more distinctly
Christian than that if tho real problem of the prison
is to encourage and restore misguided man, and
send him out heartened, strengthened, better fitted
to earn living with increased power and improved
education, and with greatly increased sef-command,
then I cannot help thinking that the American
reformatory of the best type is striving after
thing beyond what the best prisons in Europe that
saw, have yet accomplished"
As yet European lawmakers have been very
chary of the indeterminate sentence, but Mr.. Bait
is inclined to believe that in course of time England
will be forced to adopt it, altho at present 'they do
not think that ordinary marking system, based
upon the external behavior of the prisoner, be
relied upon sufficiently to warrant entire reversal
of the judgment of the courts concerning the rela-
tive penalties due to different offenders"
Mr.. Bait found some things in the prisons of
Europe that might be adopted by similar institutions
in America with profit but on the whole the Ameri-
can prison is in advance, both in the methods of
discipline employed and in the work of turning men
from evil to good courses

few weeks ago Alphonse and Cas-
ton fell from cliff three million
miles high, into a hole four million
miles deep, but they came out on
top as usual and are still doing
business at the old stand.
One family of four hundred
thousand children met President
Roosevelt in Kansas and now he
is going to move the capitol from
Washington to Kansas.
The newspaper world watches
with interest the coming debut of
the Chicago Bulletin, the first big
daily newspaper to be run by
women, which makes it's bow on
the 18th of this month.
It is better to be neutral than to
ask the Lord to take you for few
minutes at a time and then de-
liberately give yourself to the
devil for week, a month or a year
at a time.
It has been determined by ex-
perts that large percentage of the
money in circulation is inhabited
by microbes. Much of the paper
money is said to have large colo
MES, villages, towns and cities with
populations of hundreds of thou
sands on a single bill. Of course
these microbes are not very large,
and in fact they must be smaller
than the native inhabitants of
Japan and Hawaii.
But the twenty-frst century
wisdom of we Minnesotans led our
authorities years ago to suspect
the unhealthfulness of money, with
the result that this cooperative
society was established at Still
water. Here we handle not, touch
not, see.not money and we are a
prosperous, healthy community.
We agree with the germistic, mi
crobistic, bacterialistic experts that
money is not only the root of all
evil, but the root of disease also.
| According to the Maa2 and
Breeze of Topeka, it was the Kan
sas delegation at the Philadelphia
convention that turned the tide
and made Mr.. Roosevelt vice-presi-
dent and then Providence pro-
noted him to the presidency.
Those wretches of newspaper
correspondents at Buffalo said it
was an anarchist with revolver and
bullet that promoted him.
| A great deal is heard, said and
read nowadays about the lack of
men who are competent to fill i'm
lportant and high positions scar
city of men of executive ability.
But all this talk is most absurd,
unwarranted, narrow and unfair to
the tens of thousands of able men
who. are equal to any emergency.
It is we'll known and indisputable
fact that the majority Of men and
women possess ability superior to
that which is required of them in
the performance of the duties that
chance to fall to their lot, but en-
vironment and circumstances are
such that the circumscription of
their sphere seems to be 80 'cut
and dried by other persons as to
render it impracticable for them
to unfold their energies in the
little two-by-four, vice-like circle
in which they are confined. The
vast majority of men only need the
opportunity and compensation to
demonstrate their ability to per-
form tasks of greater moment than
those which fall to them, or which
