made in favor of it that will war
rant its establishment? 1t does
not protect society; it does not de-
ter others from committing murder,
it does not even satisfy the laws de-
sire for revenge, in the eyes of the
people at large. On the other hand,
the law in taking the life of a MUIR
derer, descends to common level
with him. for the wilful killing of
any human being is murder, regard
less of who commits the act.
A life for life is barbaric doc
trine, and it should not be upheld
by the enlightened people of these
times. The law has at it's disposal a
far better and a far more effective
punishment than the death penalty.
1t is life imprisonment; and did the
people of the state fully realize
what life imprisonment really
means, there would be no more agi-
tation for the reestablishment of
capital punishment.
A few days ago the Minnesota
County Attorneys association, at a
meeting in St. Paul, unanimously
declared in favor of the death pen
atty and resolved to urge it's rees-
Enlistment at the next session of
the Legislature. Why they did so
is question that can not be fully
answered here, but it is certain that
they were not moved to their re-
solve by unselfish motives, nor de-
sire for justice.
Are the people of Minnesota GO
ing to allow and sanction the return
of that abominable practice which
works directly against all things
that make for better. conditions!
Are they, at the behest of an associ-
alton, who branded the humanita-
rian idea: that criminal can be re-
formed as extreme foolsness, going
to reestablish capital punishment:
Heaven forbid!

Whiskey Did 1t.


In Iowa, recently, three men were
arrested. tried and convicted of steal
ing a few dollars worth of whiskey.
Two of them received sentences of
fifteen years each in the penitentiary,
while the other received ten year
sentence.
Within the past few days the man
from whom the whiskey was stolen,
was sent to the inebriate asylum.
Perhaps the threemen first mention
ed thought they were doing the man
a favor by stealing his whiskey.
This incident only goes to show

IRELAND is making rapid strides
towards ameliorating the condition
of her conwicts, though she is per-
haps. pursuing different tactics from
those employed elsewhere. yet they
have all the appearance of being as
effective. The following article APP
peared in The Visitor" of Dublin,
Ireland, issue of October 1911. and
it gives one a brief glance at one
phase of the Irish reform movement:
Wormwood Scrubs Prison has
been once again visited by a eho-
raj society, who sang The Messiah
to the prisoners with the most won
derfal results. That old, old Sto-
ry'' concerning sin and redemption
can never lose the power of it's ire
sistible appeal even to the most de-
PRAYED.
Down in the human neart, crushed by the
tempter,
Feelings lie buried that grace can restore.
Many a prisoner has been the
victim of sheer misfortune, and
more sinned against than SHINING y
We therefore rejoice that some of
the pity of Him who receiveth sim
ners'' is thus finding its way within
those grey walls, and that singers OF
renown count it a privilege to repeat
to that strange yet most attentive
audience the tidings of the worlds
Messiah. Their visit opened with
a united hymn, Praise the Lord!
Ye heavens adore Him. and they
closed with the Hallelujah Chorus
and while this was being sung
says one report the men stood.

set, in a strong effort to prevent
themselves giving way to surgine

good, but there is always one idea
that fighting fighting other people
is praiseworthy occupation.
1t would be better if the Ameri-
can people would change their Boy
Scouts to World Scouts like the
ones recently organized in England.
The World Scouts have pictured
to them the honors of war. 1t shows
them that it is not right to take the
life of human being even in war.
They teach the World Scouts that
the foreigner is human the same as
they are.
It is far more nobler and grander
to raise the younger generation up
to be courteous at any and all times,
and to each and everyone. You or
| would great deal rather have our
sons helping some old and feeble
man or woman to cross crowded
street than to have them learning to
sight down rifle barrel so as to be
able to kill and MAIN. A boy, who
will save the life of another, be it
man, woman or child, from death,
is far more valuable than the one
who is learning the art of killing.
1t is better to be able to know the
locations of streets, and business
houses and hotels and be able in a
courteous manner, to direct strang-
ers to the place they wish to find,
than it is to be able to hit the bulls
eye" every shot with rifle.
Try to learn the boys that which
best. A boy who is courteous to
everyone, be it parents, strangers or
foreigners, is worth carload of
bows who do not know the first prln-
ciple of manliness, but is able to tell
you who all the great generals were.
Train the boys to be men first, and
then, if necessary. make soldiers Of
them.

taken, the remainder given to their
families, or if they had none, given
to them when they left the prison. 4
Mr.. Evans undoubtedly over
looked the fact that the state pays
its prisoners some $4,000 per month";
and consequently they are not
wholly robbed Of the fruits of their
labor. Besides, movement was
started some time ago to increase
the wages of prisoners sufficient to
allow them to support their fami-
lies, and this movement has all the
promise of becoming fruitful at the
next session of the legislature.
After all, considering the argu-
ments made by the association, it
seems doubtful if it really has any
cause for it's attack on prison Irvine
and the methods of disposing of it,
beyond the fact that its members as
dealers, are small sharers in the
profits of the Irvine sales. The pris-
on Irvine plant b a s saved many
thousands of dollars for the farmers
Of the state, and it is for the benefit
Of the Minnesota farmer. and not
of any particular association, that
the Irvine plant is operated.

tack on the Irvine law. He stated
in part that the said law was s
grandstand play of politicians who
were playing to q gallery of
farmers. This, because Of the fact
that the twine is sold to the dealers
and also directly to the consumers
at the same prices.
Warden Wolfer and Representa-
tive L. G. Spooner of Morris, were
in attendance, and in answer to Mr..
Caley's statement, Warden Wolfer
said:
/ know the way the Irvine is
handled is unsatisfactory, as well as
anyone else. / would like to see a
half cent a pound difference on
cash sales and carload lots. We
would rather sell to the dealer
alone, but the law compels us to sell
to the farmer if he writes to us and
asks for Irvine. etF
I have heard criticisms that we
are losing money, and that our
methods of business are slack. l
would welcome an accountant at the
prison and pay the expenses of ac-
counting out of my own pocket. to
show that such charges are false.
The state gave us $250.000 to start
with; now our assets are $4,000, 1854.
Even counting the interest on the
original loan, we show a profit Of
nearly 81, 100000"
The quality of prison Irvine,
which, by the way, is covered with
a guarantee, has always been adj
mitted, by the farmers who use it.,
to be excellent, aud fully up to the
guarantee. Yet Mr.. f. III. Relzo-
loft, of New Ulm, made the aston
ishing statement that the prison
Irvine is of an inferior quality, and
that hundreds of dollars had been
spent around New Ulm repairing
binders that had been put out of
commission by the prison Irvine.
Complaints Of this nature have,
however, rarely eminated from truly
rural sources. and whether or not
Mr.. Relzoloff's statement is true to
facts is a question we are unable to
determine, yet the increased de-
mand for prison Irvine in his own
section of the state would seem to
prove the contrary.
Mr.. d. II. Evans of Tracy, want
ed to know whether the state had
any right to charge citizens large
taxes for conducting industries and
then start plants in competition. If
it allows one industry, where will it
draw the line? Does it mean that
we are to become a socialistic com
munity:"
The right of the state to conduct
industries w t h convict labor, is
generally recognized throue hout the
country, and the avowed purpose of
such industries is to place prisons
on self-sustaining basis, thus re-
lieving the taxpayer of a great
burden, and gives the conviets the
benefit of employment which will
tend to improve their condition. As
is the case in our own state, indus
tries which are not employed by
any citizen of the state are selected
for prisons, and therefore the citi-
zens are not losers in any way, but
rather gamers; for products manu-
featured by convict labor are al
ways cheaper than those produced
by. free labor.
Representative Spooner took it
upon himself to answer Mr.. Evans
statement, saying in part:
! know for fact that prices of
Irvine would have been from 3 to 5
cents higher in Minnesota had it
not been for the prison Irvine. The
nrisoners at Saltwater are human
