The ohautau- Three interesting
qua Meeting. papers were read
before the Chautauqua circle atits
regular bi-weekly meeting Sunday
afternoon. The discussions fol-
lowing the reading Of the papers
were also interesting and at times
novel and instructive. The music
consisted of violin solo entitled
"Grossmutter" by Mr.. Roden-
kirohen, and a vocal solo, "Asleep
in the Deep" by one of the Chau-
tauquans, both of which were
heartily applauded by the circle.
The meeting opened with class
report on Civilization" in which
the member gave his definition OF
the term and pointed out that the
civilization of a race progresses,
even tho the race itself perishes.
After a short discussion an essay
on ''The Jew as Statesman" was
read and discussed at some length.
"Peanut Politicians" was the title
of humorous paper that provoked
laughter and applause, but nc
discussion.
Upon the conclusion of the
regular program member pro-
posed an amendment to the con-
stitution, abolishing the clause
limiting speakers to ten minutes
and comforting power on the chair
man to extend the time. This
proposed amendment was not
put as a motion, but merely
suggested in order that il
might be discussed. It did not
meet with the appreciation of the
members and probably will not be
brought up before the circle again
One new member was admitted
Two were absent.

The Twelfth Biennial The biennial
Report is issued. report of the
prison will be issued in book form
this week from The MIRROR print
ing Office. It includes the reports
of the Warden, the state agent,
the physician, the school superin-
tendent and the chaplains. There
are also tables showing the earn
ing and expenses of the various
industries and statistics regarding
the movement of the population,
etc.
Both Warden Wolfer and DIR.
Merrill recommend that a new
hospital be built and also a suit
able building in which to confine
insane prisoners. "There is a
strong and growing prejudice on
the part of the officers of our in
sane hospitals against admitting
insane criminals to their hospitals
for treatment" says Warden VOL
fer. "Of the care of the convict
who is insane when sent here, or
who becomes insane while here,
my complaint is a chronic one.
I can only reiterate what I have
said in the past" says DR.. Merrill.
The Warden's report calls at
tention to the law directing judges
to sentence convicts 80 they will
not be discharged during the win
ter months, and comments on the
observance of said law. State
Agent -Whittier's report likewise
comments on this oversight on the
part of the courts. Many other
interesting questions are touched
upon in the various reports.
In addition to the biennial re-
port the book contains much other
information pertaining to the
prison. All the laws relating to
the government and management
of the institution are included, as
are also the rules of government
for officers and prisoners. There are
1872 pages in the book, which is
neatly bound in heavy grey paper
covers. The book will be issued
Saturday.
