AGAIN The Mirror has changed editors,
for better or worse it is for the readers to
judge. Your papers and magazines re-

come. The more the merrier. Perhaps
you do not know it, but your exchanges

they are passed along. There are men and

G0OD-BYE!

SOMEONE has said that this word is the
saddest in the English language, yet we do
not find it SO, in the present instance in
deed, we are able to write it with feelings
the opposite of sadness, for are we not
free once more! Are we not going forth
into the world again, to take up life where
we left off some four weary years agonel
How, pray, could one be sad under such
circumstances?
Good bye;-yes, that is the word, for
we are leaving, never to return. 1t was
not expected that the opportunity to write
these words would present itself so soon,
but recently the State Board of Pardons
saw fit to cut short our stay here, and SO
we are going. And in going we find but
one regret lingering with us,-the regret
that it is necessary to leave so many of the
boys behind us; so many who have helped
us through the heart-breaking grind of
these past three years and more; so many
forget them. Neither shall we forget the
kindly treatment accorded us by all the
prison officials and guards, as we'll as by
the many representatives of the press
which visit The Mirror.
The task of guiding The Mirror on
toward the fullilment of its mission must
now necessarily fall to new hands, and in
the appointment of Mr.. c. W., known
hereabouts as "Gayhoppin,' we see a
change by which The Mirror will lose
nothing, and by which the reader will be
the gamer. Mr.. w. is a practical printer
and newspaper man, a conscientious work
er and as staunch friend of this little old
paper as it ever had We now leave him
to your care and keeping, with the sole
request that he be- given the same hearty
and substantial support, both in and out
side of prison, that we have received dur
ing our incumbrance of The Mirror sane
tum.
One last word to the brothers we leave
behind, and then we are finished. Remem-
Der this: eff you expect a square deal, be
square yourself Never for an instant let
the life-saving light of hope die within
you, and always remember that OTIS New.
er too Late to Mend. We have tried
these and found them good. And now
that we are going, the future looks a.
bright as ever,-brighter if anything and
we go forth from behind the walls with the
unshakable resolve that these prisons shall
know us no more. Goodbye.

which fall to the lot of free man. His
leaving places the editorship in new hands,
and Warden Wolfer decided to place the
writer hereof in charge. Whether the de-
cision was for the best, time alone will tell.
Most of the readers are more or less ac-
quainted with my efforts, as have been on
the contributing staff of The Mirror for
the past twenty months. Being at the
head and responsible for the paper isa hard
er position to fill by far than merely acting
as contributor.
To the old contributors of The Mirror
under Mr.. NJ, can only say that their
articles will be thankfully received as of
yore. There will be very few changes in
the paper and its policy will still be the
same: ga square deal for everyone all the
time.
Permanent space writers will be elimi-
mated, except in the case of "Apache'' and
"Bobbles. "O'C." will continue to be
reporter-in-chief; that is, providing the
three above named gentlemen are willing.
The reason for eliminating space writers is
to give all of you a show. If you can
write an article that is interesting, do SO.
1t will be given consideration and, if found
worthy, published. But there is one or
two things for the men who contribute in
the way of ''Don'ts,'' namely: Embarrs-
sing squibs and personal remarks at an
other inmates misfortune are not wanted
and will be rigidly blue-penciled. Plagar-
ism will not be tolerated. Your copy will
find its resting place in rhe waste basket
after you have once been discovered.
The last page in the paper, or page
four, will be given over to miscellaneous
articles. Copy must be signed in full,
giving name, register and cell numbers.
The register number will be used to give
the author credit.
If at any time you have any suggestions
to make, which you think will improve
The Mirror, pass them along. Of course
that does not mean they will always be
followed.
Justa word in regard to my predecessor.
AS an editor, Mr. N. was all that was to be
desired. He worked conscientiousy for
The Mirror, making i, paper that ranks
among the best of its kind. Those who
never tried editinga prison paper do not
comprehend what job it is. Now let us
each and everyone do our'level best to keep
The Mirror in the front ranks, to make it
more than paper in name.
Respectfully,
Gayhoppin,
Editor

Shoe Shop Notes.
SANDY.

Mr.. w. Caldwell is away on trip to the
Pacific coast.
Four-Double- O. One has been transferred
from the Stewards office to that of the
shoe company.
High cut shoes, for fall and winter wear,
are coming through the works in large
quantities these days.
Berger M. Hammer, shipping clerk,
was on the sick list few days last week,
but is back on the job again as cheerful as
ever.
The line of samples for spring trade is
almost complete. The styles incline to
straight and broad lasts; more so than
formerly.
Shoes made after the pattern of the old
bicycle shoe are becoming more popular
each season for work shoes. Many dealers
gre asking for the heavier lines of shoes to
be made after this pattern.
The manufacturer of shoes is often
blamed for the poor service some shoes
render, when the fault lies entirely in the
fact that the wearer was putting the shoes
to service for which they never were in
tended. For instance: A mineral tanned,
or what is usually called a waterproof
shoe, makes an excellent and lasting shoe
for bush work or where hard wear is ex-
pected of shoe; but if farmer secures
one and wears it around the stable, the
ammonia from the manure will ruin it in a
few days, while muleskin shoe, though a
much cheaper grade, will last several times
as long at this work; yet if used in the
rougher and heavier work, would go to
pieces in a short time. A merchant should
always find out the class of service for
which shoe is wanted, and recommend
his shoes accordingly

Twenty-Five United States Prisoners,
