Bergman in Washington STAR
What of The Young Women?

Does the state of Wisconsin think
that young women are less worthy
of being saved to lives of useful
ness than young men?
The state makes an effort to re-
claim young men who are convict
ed of crime. Young women con-
victed Of similar crimes are sentenc-
ed TO the workhouse or the state
penitentiarY.
The state has provided a reforma-
tory for young men, Upon his first
conviction of any crime less than
that Of murder any young man who
is a resident of Wisconsin may be
sentenced to the Green Bay reforma-
tory. Such sentence does not
carry with it the prison stain.
Those committed to the 1eformatory
attend school several hours each
day and are taught useful trades.
Many of them become excellent citi-
zens after their release.
How about the young woman
who, having passed the age Of Is,
is convicted Of crime? She cannot
be sent to the Industrial school for
girls, because she is too old. Does
the state reach forth a helping hand
to raise her to career of useful
ness?
No. The state condemns her to
the felon's cell because, forsooth,
there is no other place to send her.
Her brother, guilty of a similar
crime, is saved from the degrade
ton of prison.
Is her future of less Importance
to the state? Is it not important
that one who may be the mother of
future citizens be saved to a useful
life if possible? Must she be brand
ed with the mark of the prison?
It is question which judges and
lawyers in Wisconsin have often
asked themselves. There is at least
one instance of judge in Milwau-
kee commenting while on the bench
of the unfairnes3 of the law which
made him sentence to prison q
young girl because there was no
other place for her.
Picture girl of 10, just entering
into womanhood, an orphan, per-
haps, with no one to guide her, or
worse than orphaned, with drunken
parents. She has a girls native
love of tinery. In a moment of
weakness she steals a valuable
necklace from jewelers. case. She
is caught, convicted and sentenced
to prison, to all that prison implies,
the society of debased, criminal
women of mature age, the degrad-
ing uniform and the soul-killing sur
roundlngs.
Isn't it murder to that's moral
nature? Isn't she the victim of the
law which should uplift hers
Why doesn't the state take as
much thought for the reclamation
of it's young women as 1t does for
the reclamation of its young men?

What Some Wisconsin Zinc Mines

The Enterprise Mine, organized

Acme, Grant County and q dozen
others are nearing the dividend
mark and twenty others near

claim that the mines will soon play
out.

A Tangled Life.
(Originl.)

(Original)
YOn ask me if this tangled life
Can once gain be straight
Each thread. so gnarled and knotted,
VIII ere a smooth warp make?
I answer, "Yes!' You wonder, how?
T 6 the Spirit tells me this,
I've tried and found the promise
So many mortals miss.
Now listen! In dark corner of your
heart
a secret sin is hidden;
The beginning Of the tangled skein
Must from its place be ridden;
Nor think it best be left alone
While YOU other knots undo,
They only grow more gnacly still
With every thing you do.
Now let the light just flood the room;
One step is gained you see.
Wondering dust obscures the web,
Let the loom be clean and free,
Now take the reel, with patient care
Seek the end OF the tangled skein,
Undo each wrong as soon as found
Until the thread is straight again.
The wool and warp make ready,
Each thre I'd a promise true
Securely fastened at the end;
You then begin anew.
The shadows gone, the heart exultS:
A new Spirit sits the throne
In the temple of the living God,
For ye are now your own.
Bought with price so precious
A blood-bought pardon given.
Sweet rest for the weary traveller
Or the storm tossed sailor, driven.

The more one sees Of the small

he becomes with them. You can
neither be ''up" nor ''down;" you
can neither hope for the voices OF
the city nor the tranquility Of tho
fields. You neither dress nor 60,
slouchy; you can nor Bee or hear
anything, or know anything, much.
less feel anything. Life is a slcw.~
sure process of ossification; a dead
ening of the mental machinery, a.
purely mechanical round Of daily
humdrum. People get fairly ESadl

1t seems too, in a business way.
that everything is against the small
towns. 4 few years ago the eleva-
tors, lumber yards, and other enter
prises were owned and controlled
0y resident citizens and the profits
went to the betterment of the town.
Now it is different. These enter
pcises, with very few exceptions,
are owned by companies with head
quarters IN the lager towns and
cities, and of course the profits Of
the business go where the head
offices are. The farmers like to
trade in the larger towns, where.
they can select what they want
from large stocks. The mail order
houses too, are getting in their
deadly work. and as a result of
these changes from the old system.
from One-fourth to one-half of the
business buildings are vacant and :
going to decay. Everything is
centralizing in the larger cities, and :
the smaller towns are nothing more
or less than feeders of the larger
ones. 20
