rs to the Future.

us 10 me FNLLL7E. r
WE HAVE been asked on numerous occasions as
to what chance there was for an ex- prisoner, and
what was the attitude of the public towards him.
This subject has received attention in the past
and what we said then remains true today We
know of many persons who have left here with firm
determination to make good, and they succeeded in
doing So and we also known of many who have re-
turned the cause of their recommitta being best
known to themselves.
This proposition is one that rests entirely with
the individual There is a vast difference between
the man who is determined to do right and the man
who pretends that he is doing right The former
will be above suspcion but the latter by his actions
his associates, his of gaining livelihood,
demonstrates that he is Indifferent to conse-
quences It is from this class that one hears that
pitiful moan: II not given show"
Such charge is not warranted by the facts. It
sounds like a plant from the kindergarten. The
man who means to do the fair thing on his release,
need not worry as to the future But the man who
gives good for arousing suspicion, going
to make failure of it, Ut is we'll to state that the
crack in your reputation will be the object of much
solictude by your friends and the less attention you
attract to it the better off you WILDE.
Occasionally you hear of being sent back
to prison principally because of his former reputa
tion STILL if he had been leading straight lfe his
chances Of going back would be very remote. This
must be conceded for hundreds have proved it to be
true.

The Probation LUzU,

The judges Of st. Paul and Minneapolis evident.
ly believe in the probation law for we notice by the
Twin City press that they have recourse to it quite
frequently Only recently barber in St. Paul was
found guilty of extortion, but sentence was sus
pended and the man placed on probation. The
sum involved amounted to only two dollars and fifty
cents To have. placed the criminal faint on this
man for such a small sum would be worse crime
than that committed by the culprit All over this
broad land of ours intelligent are beginning to
realize that the surest way to reform man, is to be-
gin before he lands in the penitentiary In Europe
the same idea is gaining ground If wisely admin
istered the probation law will prove it's merit in the
course Of time.

II Fallen Idol.

Booth HARRINGTON, the man who gave to the
world '"The Gentleman from Indiana has fallen
from the high esteem in which he held by the
fction-loving readers of this country. On Christ
mas Eve he INDUCED in midnight carousal Of such
magnitude that it took two policemen to arrest him;
and they only succeeded in landing him at the sta
ton after having a severe fight Now, this lapse of
Mr. Tarkington's does not deserve the condemnation
which he has been receiving. Think of the number
of those who have INDUCED themselves to excess but
were not found out. No thinks the less of Them
they willing to pronounce the crime of ostra-
csm against them. 1t is unfortunate that talented
man should have his future marred by such trivial
incident for he is Of the greatest novests this
country has produced.

Very Convenient.

ACCORDING to press dispatch the police of
Cleveland, Ohio, have been notified to take home,
instead of locking up, all those bibulous chaps who
are unable to navigate. The report does not state
whether the officer should use an automobile or a
hack, does it mention the object of this pro-
cedure. No doubt the temperance advocates will
claim, and with considerable reason, that this gentle
method of handling DRINKS will have tendency to
make drunkenness popular At any rate, this innova-
ton will bea fine thngfor the police for the tips they
will receive will amount to quite during a
year It is almost inconceivable that Cleveland
should adopt such rule when nearly every state in
the Union is working in the opposite direction-pro-
hbtion and the lid.

it is compelled to feel the keenness of this
harpoon. This plundering of the press must be
soothing balm to those who, on various occasions
have said that the formation of such would
be beneficial to the individual and to the country

ings of such afnonopoly at close range and the re-

Shiftin6 Life'S Troubles.

OfCV6UIGS A%CEOsC AIOCCOCOC.
THERE are those who carry trouble lightly,
and there others who easily bowed beneath
its cares There are also those who never think of
condng their troubles to Others and there are those
who continually shift their worries others when
they find anyone patient enough to listen
to them. Fortunate is he whose soul is so expanded
that he can embrace the weak and helpless to advise
and to tighten their burdens. The average man is
not partial to listening to another's woes, for he
Justly believes that he has sufficient worries of his
own to keep him busy. In this he is correct, but
modicum of sympathy and advice will not add to his
sorrow
There is no who is free from life's cares.
One may present cheerful face to the world, while
nwardy his feelings may be lacerated by bitter dis
appointments. Altho he may not think of burden
ing others with his difficulties as many do he be-
lieves that he master such obstacles unaided.
Undoubtedly it is far wiser to solve ones own Attic
tons than to bore others by their recital or to
attempt to shift them upon ungracious individuals
who scott at the sorrows of others.

The Paper Trust.

The Paper Trust.
The paper trust has been creating havoc among
the country press of Minnesota. The St Paul and
Minneapolis dailies have notified their exchanges
that, beginning with January 1st they will discon
tinue their comps" This step was necessary be-
of the increased price in paper. The MIRROR,
aso has received notices from the ST. Paul Dispatch
and the Minneapolis Journal saying that they were
sorry but that the exgencies of the times demanded
strictly cash basis. We panied to- lose these
friends, for they have been arriving at our sanctum
for many years.
We cannot help but admire the temerity of the
trust in striking at the moudrrs of public opinion.

that's like cutting off a tree at 80 per

II submit that his scheme is utterly
impracticable and destructive of bust
ness. When the trusts take undue
measures to stihe competition and
bring about the establishment of mo-
nopolies, the men who resort to these
methods now find themselves guilty of
violating the antitrust law and are
brought to punishment. The. plan to
limit the output of a business, as pro-

I'VE are going to revise the tar1H.

the situation at the Chicago convention,
They promised an honest revision, n

a tariff equal to the difference between
the cost of production in this country
and abroad. That will be as~ccertaineo

value of the labor put on It,, n 1he
allowance of a reasonable profit on the
capital put into the business.
IF there is any State in the Union
whose prosperity is dependent on the
tariff. it is New Jersey. and L want to
ask YOU whether you will prefer the
plan which l have described or the sys-
TEN proposed by Mr.. Bryan, a gradual
transition from the protectlve-tarlH
system to that for revenue only. Under
that he roposes to cut off the tariff on
some industries until that on all arti-
Giles shall be cut off. h effect VIII
be felt by cutting the tariff of parts at

that will make industries absolutely i'm

for two years, and If it doesn't succeed
then we'll go back to the OLD system.
We would have to do that anyhow,
therefore, why should we try 1t at all
when the present system Is satlsfac-

KATHERINE ELK|NS
ITALIAN PRINCESS
AND WEDDING soon
Duke to Reach America This
Week, Says Rome-No En-
gagement, Says Queen.

ROME. Oct. 19.-The Italian court has
initiated the f~ormalities of the mar
rage of the Duke of the Abruzzi ana
Miss Katherine Elkins. The King a
formally consented to he union, it's
said, and the Princess Letitia, step
mother of the duke, has confirmed the
report of the engagement.
The Italian press now admits the APP
preaching marriage. The G1ornal
D'Italia nou that the King mas
given his consent, and that MISS Eiklns
is now practically an Italian princess,
as 1t has been decided that she shall
enjoy royal rank and privileges before
the wedding. The duke will shortly
sail for the United States from Havre
or Cherbourg.
1t Is reported the duke has engaged
passage on the Kronprinz Wnneim,
sailing from Cherbourg for New YORK
next Wednesday. Rome expects the
marriage to take place soon after ne
reaches America.
PARIS. Oct. 19.-The Queen Of Italy,
Paris society has heard, in opposing the
rumored engagement between the beau-
tiful Miss Katherine Elkins and the
Duke of the Abruzzi, has given vent to
these criticisms of the American
beauty:
"Women who marry into royalty
must be trained to put up with many
things which no American girl can
understand.
Miss Elkins not only lacks titles to
nobility, but has too many titles TO
financial consideration"
That the entire royal family disap-
proves of the projected marriage is the
statement attributed to a member OF
the Queens suite, who is quoted as fol-
lows:
You may state positively that there
is no chance that the marriage will take
place in the near future. Up to the
present no engagement exists"
