woman smuggling a huge umbrella box
upstairs, and at the same moment the
woman observed the man slipping a
smaller umbrella box OF feminine dinen-

anticipation fitted over her countenanee,
but a shadow fell across his.
"Its one Of your presents" gaily called
the woman, shaking her box over the
banister.

Vote on the Amendment.

The Supreme Court Of Michigan has
decided that the Constitution OF 85o was
intended to prevent teaching OF trades IN
prisons. and that any industrial WORK IN
which a convict may incidentally learn a
trade or any part of a trade is violation
Of the Constitution. The opinion OF the
court went even further than that. IL
said the intent was also ITO lessen the
probability that the honest mechanics OF
Michigan should be compelled to associate
Nth discharged convicts because the lat
Tor had been taught the trade OF the for
mer in the state prisons of this state.
II is not necessary to discuss the lnhu
nanty of such law. the barbarism OF
China and Tartary is enlightened civlllza-
ton In comparison. Your boy may be IN
prison tomorrow. Shall we keep him in
idleness and ignorance in prison in order
10 prevent him from getting employment
and become an honest, law-abldng and
sef-sustainng citizen when he shall again
be free9 Shall we say to him, You were
once a convict and cannot work beside an
honest mechanic or an honest laborlnp
man, although you have atoned for you
sin and have paid your debt to the state.
/ Shall we drive him to theft or beggary or
starvation, or down the dark road OF des-
oair to which our Constitution points?
On April lst, there will be submitted &c
the people Of Michigan a constitutional
amendment to repeal that odlous and bar
barous law. Vote "YES" and you vii
vote to give the prisoner chance to re-
gain his lost place in society. Vote YES,
and you will vote to repeal a law which
would have disgraced the dark ages
Vote YES" and you will De reaching
