of this burning question. AS was
natural, very animated discus
sion followed which would doubt
less have been protracted beyond
the allotted time but for the little
hammer.
Of the piano solo, itseems worth
reiterating in the columns of this
journal that it was composed by a
sojourner in this institution.
China and it's peculiar people
met with adequate treatment at the
hands of the author of the follow
ing paper who, like BALKAN, started
in to curse but stayed to bless.
Our modesty will not permit us
to criticize the last item on the
program but we can give full rein
to our feelings on the subject OF
the newly-appointed critics re-
marks, which were accurate and
conscientious in all respects. On
the expiration of the allotted time
the circle adjourned.

often the big laundering man seeks
her lips before the touch of her

I somehow gained the idea that

careful line of reading appeared |
find that I was mistaken. / am
glad to know my ''stuf" is read,
even tho but one in ten agrees

Thomas w. Lawson submits the

Inspector Watts, of the Boston
police department, says: NINETY
per cent of crimes are against
property, by young men with
neither the application, nor skill
to obtain the means of coveted
| qualification of certain tastes and
desires by their honest work end
earnings. Take the best man in
any community and put him in
prison and keep him there three
years and [ would not give much
for his morality when he comes
out. If he is able to withstand
temptation he is something more
than an ordinary man." [ am not
a penologist, but [ must take issue
with the latter statement of Mr..
Watts. [ know men here, who
have been here twice three years,
who are as clean, upright men as
one can find in days journey;
men with whom [ come in contact
daily, and who are morally as strong
as any man need be, men who
scorn profanity, tobacco, barroom
stories and the like, and who not
only equal but excel the average
run of men on the outside, so far
as moral stamina lis concerned.
Recently one of my good friends,
one whose opinion l really value,
accused me of moralizing. He
may be right, but candidly, I do
not believe it. I do not believe it
does any good to preach to man
who has definitely made up his
mind to follow certain line of ac-
ton. To follow this line of thought
a little further let us say that a
man who has been unfortunate
enough to find himself in prison;
who has fully determined to tri-
umph over his mlsfortunes, be they
the result of accident, or a weak
will, can do so, no matter how
discouraging the conditions may
be. On the other hand, the man
who took the chances with his eyes
open, who counted the cost, and
lost, who counts sojourn here or
in other prisons as an incident in
his professional life. in a word, as
all in the days work, cannot be
reached by any word of mine, and
[ do not intend to try it. Point
ing out some of the bright spots
along life's pathway is not moral
izing, or else | have missed the
meaning of the word. A man who
may be an optimist, one prone to
look on the right side, no matter
how depressing or gloomy the sit
uation, cannot be accused of NOR
