WITHIN the PRISON WALLS.

Bemidi Sentinel:-It doubtless seems to
the most of people that one term in the
penitentiary ought to make a man resolve
to never take chance of getting another
term But it is found that in many in
stances released prisoners are plotting crime
again before they have been out of prison
day. Some appear to have already had
criminal plans when released, and some
serve term after term in prison.
There is neither man nor women so far
gone down the road that leads to crumbled
characters that does not make excuses.
They wonder why they were cursed with
tempters over which they have no control.
Not on love nor on single wild gust of
passion should man or woman place the
responsibility for unhappiness. They must
look further back to the days when they
first played with the fire; when they tam
pered with truth and honor.
There is in the talk of the modernists, the
new thinkers and uplifters, certain wist
full, long haired plea for more individual
ism, more freedom from conventions. We
hear them say that what is in the nature,
good or bad, should have its full, unfetter-
ed fling; thus only can man or women
reach the heights.
The written record of generations points
the diverse paths that lead on the one side
to weakness and ruin and on the other to
strength, respect and position. That inde
Enable thing called character is made up of
thousand small denials, thousand temp
tations resisted, thousand battles fought
in the mind or soul-fought and won.
1t may have been bit of early arrogance
that went unharnessed; it may have been a
bit of youthful laziness that went uncheck
ed; it may have been an early temper that
went uncontrolled. Dark deeds do not de-
velop in moment. They are the result
of gradual corroding of character. Men
do not start to become drunkards by laying
off their expensive clothing, eating free
lunches, and drinking adulterated whiskey.
The low resort is not just around the cor
ner from respectability. 1t is at the end of
long downward path. The first easy
steps along that road are the ones that pre-
pare for those gusts of momentary passion,
or we'll designed cruelty, or perhaps that
kind of love which has such tragic conse-
quences. Much of that is blamed on fate,
but should be layed at the door of one S
own character.

GUILT and GENTLE BREEDING.

New York World:-Julian Hawthorne,
who was sentenced to the penitentiary for
misusing the mails to exploit Canadian
mining companies, writes in the prison
periodical advocating notifications in
the treatment of "the new order of prison.
ers. These are the ''men of good educa-
ton, gentle breeding and high intelligence
who have had to go to Jail for "offences
which have been in a manner created by
the new born scruples of lawmakers and the
subtle distinctions of public prosecutors.
Mr.. Hawthorne is himself one of the
new order of prisoners. He is gentle
bred victim of the newborn scruples'
of lawmakers who have adapted old moral
codes to new conditions, makingit it as much
mans goods by trickery as by open theft.
But what basis is there to the theory
that men of high intelligence suffer the dis
grace of conviction more than men of low
er intelligence? 1t has not been observed
that conscience with college education
is any more sensitive than another con-
morse has anything to do with the texture
of his skim To advocate double stand
ard of penalties, imposed in accordance
with convict's birth, breeding or familiar
ity with the classics, betrays a curiously
false and sophstical kind of reasoning.

mot If IT WAS MY Boy"

Common People:-The late Horace
Mann, the eminent educator, delivered an
address at the opening of some reformatory
institution for boys, during which he re-
remarked that if only one boy was saved
from ruin it would pay for all the cost and
care and labor of establishing such an in
stitution as that. After the exercises, Mr..
Mann was asked:
''Did you not color that little, when
you said that all that expense and labor
would be repaid if it only saved one boy3'
"Not if it was my boy, was the solemn
and convincing reply.
All! there is wonderful value about
"my boy Other boys may be rude and
rough; other boys may be reckless and
wild; other boys may seem to require more

pains and labor than they ever will repay;
other boys may be left to drift uncared for
to the ruin which is so near at hand, but
my boy" it were worth the toll of a life
time and the lavish wealth of a world to
save him from temporal and eternal ruin.
We would go the world around to save him
from peril, and would bless every hand
that was stretched out to give him help or
welcome. And yet every poor, wonder
ing, outcast, homeless man is one whom
some fond mother called "my boy."
Every lost women, sunken in the depths of
sin, was somebody's daughter in her days
of childish innocence. To-day somebody's S
son is hungry outcast, pressed to the very
verge of crime and sin. To-day some
body's daughter is weary, helpless won
derer, driven by necessity in the paths that
lead to death. Shall we shrink from labor;
shall we hesitate at cost when the work be-
fore us is the salvation of soul? Not if it
is "my boy" not if we have the love of
Him who gave his life to save the lost.

THE PRISONERS SOUL.

Ohio Penitentiary News:-W While the
'indeterminate sentence law has been enact
ed, and is now in force in this state, the
following article taken from the Portland,
(Ore.) Journal will prove of interest:
Under the heading, "The Soul of the
Prisoner Harold Begbee, the well-known
English writer, has expressed himself on
prison methods and their results. His let
tiers to the London Daily Chronicle have
aroused much and many expressions of it.
For, after all, therein lies the gist, the
meat, of the whole debate-how shall the
soul of the prisoner be best reached, and
helped and strengthened by punishment
that follows crime? The old idea of pun
ishment as an expression of societys re-
venge on the offender for his crime has
disappeared from every discussion. 1t lin
gers on in some obsolete prison houses, but
in it there is no possibility of long survival.
The general verdict seems to be in con-
demnation of "fxed sentences for different
offenses. Each offender is seen to be
subject to Individual characteristics, wheth-
er of circumstance or temperament, making
the perpetration of the same act more
heinouS in one case than another. How,
then, shall there be at once a strong incen-
tive to reform, and avoidance of that dis
pare, which, on the principal of "once a
thief, always thief has killed the last
vestage of hope in many prisoners heartl
One ideal sentence is thus stated, "You
will go to prison until you can prove your
self fit for life of freedom and useful
work outside
The conclusions of the whole matter
are these. AS the grand jury returns the
indictment of the prisoner his fate is, in
most cases, fixed. He has ceased to be
person, he is simply the one who has done
that deed.
''We have only one treatment for him
The system will subject him, whoever h,
may be, to the same rigid discipline, th'
same subsection of instinct and will to
set of rules incarnated in uniform ant
sealed with key, the same ordeal of mo
