platinum slides is permissible. Ear
rings should be of the stud type, either
of pearls or baroaue pearls.
In the whole realm of jewelry, the
pearl necklace is the only one in good
taste for morning, afternoon and even
ing wear. Sometimes the pearls are
worn under the filmy lace collar and
just glimmer through the net. Bar pins
are shown in chased gold or filigree,
set. with pearls, or whole bar pins OF
seedpears. Old fashioned lockets are
very popular. Some of the prettiest
are enameled in dainty flowers or sill

had a pretty wreath design in natural
colored flowers. This hung from blue
enamel chain with silver links. The
neck chains are from Is to 10 inches in
length. The round gold bead chains
have been superseded by gold CHI ms
with pear shaped gold pendants gradu-
ated in size.
Vanity cases are shown in variety

predict it's continued popularity.

many purposes these days and are use
full as well as ornamental. There are
harvest of new ideas in the flexible
watch bracelets. OF the plainest gun
metal to the most elaborate bracelet
of platinum set in diamonds are brace
lets with tiny watches. Some are enam-
eled, others of sterling silver, some of
gold and some of ribbon with jeweled
slides. Some bracelets have powder

There Is a revival of the old-fash-
toned reticule, which was carried by
ladies of fashion nearly a century ago.
Then the bags were beaded by hand
and an exclusive design was highly
priced. Most of the bags are beaded
by machinery, but so wonderfully is
the work accomplished that these bags
are really exquisite. Most of the
leather bags are envelope in shape and
have flexible tops.

monds next in value comes the glow
ing ruby. Women who hesitate to wear
imitation jewels, wear necklaces Of
pearls which so closely resemble the
genuine that it is difficult for any but
an expert to determine whether they
are substitute for the real or not.
Sapphires also are very popular,
especially when set with diamonds in
the French caliber setting.
The call for color has brought the
Divine in favor. The color is beautiful,
and it is often preferred to the emerald
as it is softer in tone. Divine as a

ONE HUNDRED AND TEN FREED

One hundred and ten prisoners,
whose sentences ranged from two to
forty years, and including thirty
nine men and one woman, convicted
of second degree murder, were CIV
en- their liberty on parole from the
Eastern penitentlary in Pennsylva-
MIA recently. Recommendations for
the release of prisoners were SUBJ
mitted to the state board of pardons
by the inspectors of the penitentiary
and all were approved. Applica-
tions for parole of forty six others
were rejected by the board upon
unfavorable reports from the in
spectors.
This action was the first under a
recent act of the assembly, which
authorizes the board of pardons to
release, on recommendations from
inspectors. prisoners sentenced be-
fore July l. 1911, who have served
one-third of their terms.-Ex.

THAT BAD OTHER FELLOW.

Eighty-nine years ago Audubon,
the naturalist, wrote in his journal:
In my mind, church attendance
has Eeen confounded with such ras-
cally conduct otherwise that | can
not think of it without sadness.
never think of churches without
feeling sick at heart at the sham and
show of some of their professors.
To repay evils with kindness is the
religion was taught to practice,
and this will forever be my rule"
A very good rule, too, though
hard to live up to, as, indeed, all
rules are which run at odds with
our natural promptings-one Of
which Is to beat the chap who de-
spitefully uses us.
About all we know of Audubon is
what he himself has told in his in
teresting autobiography. We know,
for instance, that he so loved the
birds, the forests and the wild life
OF the great outdoors that the for
tune he inherited soon slipped
through his fingers and he journey
&c about, restless vagabond, MAX
ing those sketches of the creatures
of the forest which later were pub
lished, stamping him as our greatest
naturalist. We know he was queer.
vain, diffident and proud, and that
the story of his life is more fascina-
ting than any fiction.
What we do not know is whether
Audubon was a better practitioner
OF his beliefs than the run of church
goers. He sometimes scoffed at the
other hypocrites, as most of us do.
But quite likely he was, in his way,
just as weak and sinful as the rest
of mankind and with quite as big a
gap between the ideals he held and
the things he habitually did.
Very easy it is to see the other
fellows fault and throw brick at
1t. Also very natural. Few of us
like to begin our reforming at home.
Still, it is the best place if you are
after lasting results.
Once you get yourself into right
shape it will surprise you, perhaps,
to see how much easier it will be to
go out and reform that bad other
fellow.-Ex.

BOARD OF VISITORS

Although the last legislature
failed to make an annual appropria-
ton of 5000 for the board of visit
ors to state institutions, that body
still exists and is exercising the
functions authorized by law. The
duty of the board is to visit institu-
tions, examine into the character of
the food supply, sanitary and health
conditions, and report to the gov
ernor.
The last legislature eliminated
the boards appropriation. But cut
ting off the money supply did not
deprive the board of its authority.
The board recently has visited
several institutions and returned
this week from Faribault. It's find
ings will be submitted TO the gov
ernor before the end of the year.

PRISON REFORM AND SOCIAL REFORM

The experience of Thomas Mott
Osborne as volunteer prisoner
and the exposures of Inhuman
treatment of prisoners in various
institutions have stimulated discus
sion of and demand for prison re-
form. That there is room for i'm
provement need not be questioned.
Cruelty is not justified by the fact
that those on whom it is practiced
have done wrong. 1t is certainly
not justified when one remembers
that one cannot be too sure of the
guilt of all who are convicted. 1t is
moreover condemned by the fact
that it can have no other than evil
results.
There is no difference between a
criminal and the rest of us, except
that the criminal has usually been
placed, through no act of his own,
IN an environment or amidst cir
cumstances that have driven him to
crime. But for the grace of God
there go l." said pious clergyman
on seeing condemned murderer
on his way to the gallows. The
clergyman was probably right.
With the same training as the
criminal. accustomed to the same
environment and with the same cir
cumstances to influence him, he
would probably have been the mur-
derer. No one need flatter himself
that he is SO good tDat under no
circumstances would he commit any
crime.
When the criminal leaves prison
he will probably be more inclined
to resist temptation to crime if no
sense of injustice be ranking within
him. To send him out dislnclined
to again do wrong is unfortunately
the limit of what the most wisely
managed prison, under existing eco
nomic conditions, can do. 1t can
not provide the released prisoner
with an opportunity to honestly
earn his living without displacing
some one who has never committed
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1913-11-20

crime, and perhaps making a crlmi-
nal of the displaced one instead.
On the other hand, if the released
prisoner can find no opportunity to
earn his living Le will simply be
driven to crime once more. The
existence of crime Is a part of the
penalty that must be paid for bad
social conditions. 1t is no argu-
ment against prison reform that it
can not do much good without rad
ical social reform. But in that fact
Is strong argument for prison re-
formers to be social reformers as
we'll. The Public.

USE PRISONERS TO
RECLAIM LANDS
The State Board of Control is Considering
the AdyisabiIityIof Using Prisoners in
Land Reclamation Work in Northern
Part Of the State.

Minnesota may send prisoners into
Northern Minnesota to reclaim cut
over and swamp lands, thus follow
ing the example of Illinois and Ore
gon in utilizing prisoners on state
work.
The state board of control has
taken the matter up because of the
expiration Of the shoe contracts at
the penitentiary on September | /,
1914, which will throw 225 men out
of employment For years the state
has been leasing its prisoners to shoe
manufacturers. the plants being
maintained on the old prison
grounds.
The legislature recently enacted a
law prohibiting the employment of
prisoners in competition with free
labor. AS result the shoe plants
will cease to exist, and work must
be found for the prisoners.
1t is believed by the board that the
state could well utilize the labor of
these prisoners in clearing and drain
ing its cut-oyer timber and swamp
lands. Hundreds of thousands of
acres could thus be made avail
able for settlement, aud the
financial return would be great.
G. J. Swendseni of the board has
suggested that the first experiment be
tried at the state sanitarium for con-
sumptives at Walker. The legisla-
ture recently appropriated $4,000
10 clear the 600 acres of land owned
by the institution on the shore of
Leech lake, but no one can be found
who will take the job at that price.
Mr.. Swendsen would send twenty
five (25) penitentiary prisoners
there early in the spring, provide a
suitable camp for them, and offer
such inducements to the men chosen
as to prompt them to do good work
and keep faith with the state. tx.

POLITICS, PRISONS AND PENALTIES.

The signs all point to considera-
ble modification of the system of
administering social punishment to
law wbreakers which has become ira
ditional in the United States, and
which some of the newer common
wealths of the Union already have
departed from to a considerable eX-
tent. AS indicative of a question
ing of the results of the dominant
code the address given before the
convention of the American Prison
Association by Governor Foss of
Massachusetts is worth noting. He
speaks for state that formerly led
the others in matters OF penology.
and that even now has some refor-
matory institutions that are admira-
BILE and a probation system that is
working fairly we'll.
But more radical steps lie ahead,
according to the views of Governor
Foss. The human material coming
before the courts to be dealt with
for offenses needs far more discrim-'
mating investigation and treatment
than any present system of dealing
with offenders provides. The state
hereafter must differentiate more
clearly between those who can be
held responsible for what they have
done and those who cannot. 1t
must devise ways Of confinement,
where such is thought necessary,
that will permit expansion of the best
that survives In the prisoner rather
than intensificatioD of the worst.
Persons undergoing detention and
reformation should be and can be
made more nearly self-supporting
than they are now, and they also
should be permitted to earn funds for
partial support of families and
kindred. With prompt closer inves-
tigation by competent state officials
OF persons whom judges sentence,
with a larger measure of self-sup-
port made possible for those who
are detained in Jail for any length
of time, and with earnings made
transferable TO the prisoners de-
pendents, it stands to reason, argues
Governor Foss, that the cosus of the
service would decrease much.
Like other men holding his atti-
tude and his present high office,
Governor Foss, when he comes to
face and meet the concrete need,
finds politics lying athwart the way.
The spokesman has no compunctions
about bartering places In the admin
istrative, educational and discipline
ry staffs of states altruistic and
penel institutions. A cozy berth as
officer in jail or prison settles too
many political debts. An institution
having any considerable number
OF such appointees cannot do its
work for its inmates. 1t becomes
crib out of which place-seekers eat,
when it should be salvage house

GOOD CITIZENS
OUT OF DERELICTS
The Old Saying, "0nce a Thief, Always a
Thief" May be Revised is the 0pin-
ion Of Those Engaged in the Work Of
Reform in Various Cities.

Is it possible to reform prison
er and make good citizen out of
him?"
Take Sing Sing with its army of
men incarcerated for crimes of al
most every kind-burglars, high
waymen, habitual ne'er do wells,
common thieves, housebreakers, Sec
ond story men, pickpockets, bank
robbers, bigamists, bunco steerers,
grafters of every degree, accomplish
ed swindlers of every kind-take
this mass OF depraved humanity-is
it possible really to effect reforma-
ton in more than an occasional in
stance? Is it possible to restore
majority of these prisoners to places
of respect and responsibility in the
world Of freedom?
Possibly great majority of those
who asked the question knew that
certain religious organizations, well
fare societies and other charitable
agencies have long asserted that they
actually can aud do, succeed in re-
forming criminals, men and women
of the most hardened types; that they
restore them to their families and
see them become members of socie-
ty respected, trusted, and some
times honored. But the average
man is apt to be somewhat skeptical
of such statements. What he asks
for is plain, definite, convincing, in
disputable facts.
Those who ask the question and
demand proof are, for the most part.
practical, level-headed men of affairs.
In order to ascertain whether def
inite, inconvertible answer to their
doubts can be obtained inquiry has
been made Of agencies and indivi1-
uals who have much to do with pris-
oners discharged from prisons and
penitentiaries. In each instance the
attitude of those questioned was one
of surprise that at this day there
should be any doubt regarding the
ABSOLUTE reformation of former pris-
oners.
One thing that will strike the in
quirer who goes carefully through
the records is the fact that while
hundreds of former prisoners are
today successful in business under
takines and in trades. a large pro-
portion seek not to engage in money
making occupation but to go into
rescue work themselve. Missions of
every kind, industrial homes, COL
lege settlements, all forms of social
service for the down and outers,"
seem to appeal more powerfully than
anything else to these men who have
been down and out themselves, and
who throw themselves into the work
of reclaiming other human wrecks.
Prominent among those interested
in the work Of rescuing human der
elicts is Mrs. Maud Ballineton
Booth-Exchange.
