VIM. Gallagher, an old-time
guard at the prison, can truthfully
be called an old settler of Still
water, having arrived here just
fifty years ago from Maine, the
trip taking just eight days. Billy
used to go to school here with Joe
Carli and a lot of the old boys who
were young along in 1856. There
have been wonderful changes in
Saltwater during the years he has
lived here, but when one thinks
back it doesn't seem so long. But
look ahead, fifty years-if we only
could, how much difference it
might make to all. Mr.. Gallagher
has lived in Oak Park for many
years, getting up at 4:30 in the
morning in order to get to the
prison on time. He thinks he will
secure home in the city IN order
to cut down the walk. realizing
that he isn't as husky Billy as he
was thirty years ago.-Stillwatel
Gazette.

The librarian said he has often
wished to be Sherlock Holmes.
Every now and then he has occa-
sion to use his faculties upon some
new scheme in which someone is
trying to beat the other fellow out
of his exchanges. This requires
observation and deduction, and
sometimes there are few clues by
which the crookedness can be
traced. The latest scheme which
some guileless youth is now at
work upon, is to take The MIR
ROB exchanges and trace thereon
other numbers by covering the
red ink numbers with black ink.
He then places his own numbers
before and after the original num-
bers. If he keeps this up, twill be
an easy matter to discover the cul-

Saltwater Prison.

A"PECAAAS WAtAAA easy oOCCoc
of this enterprising town in COM
pany with Mr.. Oscar Tenkenoff and
Mr.. George Abrahams, of st. Paul,
was introduced to Warden Wolfer
of the Saltwater prison, ] took the
time to briefly inspect one of the
best conducted Institutions of lite
kind in the country. Without de-
sire to fatter or exaggerate I may
at this point give credit where it
justly belongs and accord to War
den Wolfer the praise to which he
is entitled, as he certainly con-
ducts the many responsibilities in
his charge in a manner to win the
Endorsement of the public and to
gain the esteem and confidence of
those incarcerated in the prison
not by any means an easy task.
AS is well known, Warden VOL
fer ranks high as penologist and
it would require but a short
acquaintance with the man to be
convinced of his capacity to prop
erly meet all demands made upon
him IN this regard. The Warden
has long since discarded the old
time method of harshness in rule
ing his charges; in fact he has
never made it a part of his method
of administration, but instead con-
siders that while those ip iskeep-
ing are before the law malefactors,
to him they are human beings and
deserving of kindness, sympathy
and encouragement if they earn it
by obedience torules. Vengeance
should never enter into, the factor of
punishment, and according to the
Warden, the state responsibilities
to the unfortunate prisoner should
be one of profound interest if the
culprit is, to be ever again a self
respecting man capable of making
living for himself upon the COM
pletion of the prison term. Too
many overlook this.
| The prison product is marketed
by the state, and does not, where
possible to avoid, compete with
free labor on the outside. Bind
or Irvine is one of the important
Saltwater industries and it's man
ufacture has been highly appreci-
ated by the agricultural interests
of the state and is increasing it's
output from time to time.
One of the unique enterprises OF
the prison is the publication by
inmates Of the institution of a
weekly paper called The MIRROR.
a four-page, fve-column journal.
The publication is we'll conducted,
carefully edited with much ability
and contains many attractive fea-
lures.
