The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1907-12-27
SERMON FROM PHNITENTIARY
Does Not Pay To Be Observation-Disclosures
to Work For What you want

This is a message from one behind
the bars Of prison to those outside.
In an editorial printed in The Mir
ror, a paper published by the inmates
of the Minnesota penitentiary, the edi-
tor says:
1t is the consensus of opinion of the
men who in many instances have
served three or four terms that from a
strictly business standpoint there is
absolutely nothing in being dishonest.
Speaking especially for forgery-a
crime said to be on the increase
among young men-This prison writer
says:
The man who gets it into his head
that he can be successful at showing
checks is running up against the hard
est proposition he can tackle.
This is no 'hark, from the tombs a
doleful sound" sort of whining. 1t is
a plain statement of fact based on ex-
perience.
But briefly the sermon of this man,
whose prison stripes are badges of bit
ter experiment in wrong-doing, is this:
Dishonesty does not pay.
Don't think you are smarter than
justice.
Honesty is good business.
OF couase, all this has been said by
the preachers and the moralists over
and over again, world without end.
But they talked theory. Here is a
man sitting in the somber shadow of
prison walls who talks experience-h
experience and the experience of his
fellows.
They thought dishonesty would pay.
They fancied others might be caught,
not they. They believed the way to
get on in the world was by the way of
cute villainy.
Experience is a dear school. The
Mirror man says in some cases it took
three or four terms in the penitentiary
for some of these men to learn the les
son. But it was learned. Their dis
honesty failed. Because
1t is true, as Emerson says, Crime
and punishment grow on the same
stem"
A man may escape the outstretched
hands of Justice for time, but Meme
sis will catch up with him. Call it
retribution, or what you will; a certain
something dogs the footsteps of the
wrong-doer and will never let go the
trail. Slowly it may be, but surely, it
finally overtakes.
In that essay on Compensation"
Emerson shows how.
You must pay the price for every
thing you get in this world. You can't
get something for nothing. The law
of all things says: Render your equiv
alent! You cannot do wrong without
suffering wrong.
That is where so many lose out on
their calculations.
They try to do the impossible-to
separate a wrong from its penalty.
Wrong and penalty are Siamese twins.
For thousands of years men have tried
to divorce the two and failed. It sim
ply cannot be done.
And the pity of it is that men must
be shut up in prison that they may
learn this simple lesson, lesson they
once learned at their mothers knees.
Learn the lesson and stay outside
the walls.
The people inside have tried and
tried again, and failed.-Spokane Press.

Sincere sympathy is extended E. B..
Norell, one of our most worthy and es-
teemed fellow-townsmen For the
past few months his wife has been suf-
fering from an incurable malady, and
is at this time very low. Mr.. Norell
is himself not in robust health, having
not entirely recovered from hurt he
accidentally received last spring. I'm
der his trials he maintains a Christian
fortitude and semblance of cheerfulness.
While everyone was making merry he
was ministering to his sick wife. He
said on Christmas day, long to be re-
membered as one of the stormiest for a
long time, three thoughtful Christian
women waded thru two feet of snow to
bring cheer and good will to his home,
for which he was truly grateful.

Miss Edna Zeigler had a thrilling
experience with night prowler, Mon
day evening. During the absence Of
her family from home she was spend
ing the evening with Mrs. Allen Shell
ton, a neighbor. Hearing a slight
commotion outside, the women peered
out through a window and in the
moonlight saw a man making raid on
an outbuilding used by the Skeletons
as a storehouse. Miss Edna inquired
OF Mrs. Shelton if she had any firearms
in the house, and she produced a
small revolver. Armed with this the
girl sailed forth, followed by Mrs.
Shelton, in pursuit OF the thief, who,
hearing til m approach, lodged
around the corner of the building and
made his getaway. The women did
not attempt to follow, but Miss Edna
fred a couple of shots in his direction,
to urge him to fresh endeavors in his
race for safety. 1t is safe to say that
he will keep away from that neighbor-
hood hereafter. Record.

called attention to condition which

throughout the state. It is a lament
able condition which is productive of
neither good morals nor good citf-
