WHY NOT THE FACE7

The hnger-print method of identifying
persons has one great defect; namely, thiev-
es and crooks can ''get away with their
crimes by wearing gloves or by deliberate
mutilation of the hands. a new system
that will battle the cleverest of them con-
sist in photographing the veins in the
backs of the hands of every convicted GRIM
inal. The network of blood vessels there,
it is found, is as much peculiar to the indiv-
ual as are the tips of his fingers, and cannot
be disguised or altered.

COMFORT FOR THE DISCOURAGED

DEAR Christian lady living at Liver
a more Falls, Maine. has written US one Uf the
most comforting and inspiring letters it
! has ever been our good fortune TO receive.
1t breathes good will in every line, and
every sentence denotes the pure heart of
/ the writer.
Referring to recent disappointments
which have come to us, she sends this
poem, the reading of which cannot help
but give cheer to all who are downcast.
We commend it's reading to every in
mate within the walls, and hope that all
may retain the beautiful thought so elo-
quently and lovingly expressed.
By Mary Louise Riley Smith
''What do thou knowest not now but thou shalt
know hereafter. John 1877.
Sometime, when all lifes lessons have been learned,
And sun and stars forever more have set,
The things which weak judgment here have spurned
The things DER which eved with lashes wet;
Will flash before out of lfe's dark night
AS stars shine in deeper tints of blue,
And we shall see how all God plans were right
And how what seemed reproof, was love most true.
And we shall see how, while frown and sigh
Gods plans go as best for you and me;
How, when called he needed cry,
Because His wisdom to the end could
And even as prudent parents disalow
Too much of sweet to craving babyhood,
So God, perhaps, is keeping from
Lies sweetest things because it seemeth good.
And if, sometimes cOmmingled with lfe's wne
We find the NORWOOD and rebel and shrink:
Be a wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours out this potion for our lips to drink.
And if some friend we love is lying low,
Where human kisses cannot reach his face,
Oh do not blame the loving Father so,
But wear your with obedent grace.
And you shall shortly know that heightened breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends His friend,
And that sometimes the sable pail of death
Conceas the farest bloom His love send.
If we could push ajar the gates of life,
And stand within and all Gods workings see,
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery would find key
But not today. Then be content, poor heart,
Gods plans like lilies pure and white unfold
We must tear the close-shut leaves apart
Time will reveal the hidden cups of gold.
And if, through patient TOLL reach the land
Where weary feet with sandals loose, may rest,
Then shall we know and clearly understand -
I'm sure that we shall say, God knew the best.

ELIMINATE THE WORD CONVICT

=. IL is an ex-cOnvict" How the word CRATES
n upon the and what havoc the term
has wrought in the lives of men who see
ing the of former indiscretions.
have turned their faces toward better
way of living. Think of the vast army
of men who have ''done time' who are
now living honest vrtuous ves caring
for their families of which they are proud,
and then say whether it is just to brand
them with word which not only places
an almost insurmountable barrier be-
tween them and the attainment of lauda-
BILE ambition, but also brings constantly
before them years of living death spent amid
scenes of sorrow and remorse
For some time past the Mirror has eliminated
the word CONVICT from it's vocabulary. The Off
GERS and guards of this prison in referring to the
men and women here confined have also eliminated
it, and in speaking of them now substitute the word
INMATE which sounds better, looks better and in
sense seems less degrading.
Following this up, we want to make sugges-
ton to the members of the Board of Control: and
thas is, that order be passed that in future the
word CONVICT shall not appear in any of the print

NO THANK YOU-NOT TODAY

- HE editor has received letter from a
gentleman interested in the manufacture
of certain widely advertised commodity,
Ii in which he says: Il know the Mirror
does not carry paid display advertising,
else would be glad to use it's columns
literally. If you can, however, from
time to time manage to mention our pro-
duct in complimentary way in your
writings, will see to it that you will be
personally benefited in substantial
manner"
We want to thank the gentleman for
the very high compliment he pays the
Mirror medium of wide and valuable circula-
ton; but in regard to mentioning his product"
and thereby bring to ourselves personally, sub
stantial benefit:" we will say we beg to decline.
We may be in prison, but we still retain little
respect for honesty. Our newspaper training has
been along higher plane; and we have been too
long in the game to think of adding the violation
OF a trust to our other sins.

1.-THE TEST OF STEEL"

|. lAST week we printed in this column, an
/. editorial from contemporary to the
effect that prisoners should practice lit
tie reformation on their own part, rather
than be continually "knocking' the lack
OF the reform spirit on the part of the
prison officials Of course, the editorial
designated no particular prison or set of
Ill prisoners; but it is to be assumed that the
paper was hitting at it's own readers. Never
- theless we can all take home to ourselves
the point made; for how often do we find
ourselves cOndemning in our minds if
not alOud--certain conditions which we
think could be bettered and, which no doubt would
be bettered if ourselves would act in such
manner as would make the change advisable.
The conduct of each individual inmate has
much to do with the making and enforcing of
prison rules. Our acts are taken into &C
count, and every violation we may be guilty of
not only makes it harder for ourselves, but every
one of our fellows.
Someone has said: whats the use of grant
ing them any more privileges; they don't appre-
ciate them: rules are broken as much now as ever
( before, so why should the bars of discipline be
lOwered!" That statement is of course untrue.
Rules are not broken today they we're when
privileges were fewer; better conditions have
steadily made better men; but still there are some
of us who FORGET, and in our forgetfulness we do
some little thing that means trip to court and
demerit mark and all this counts against the gen.
era average of the conduct of all the prisoners.
The Mirror does not believe that there is man
in either of these prisons who would wilfully
break rule, or, if he stopped to think of all it
meant, do anything that might prove detriment
to the future well-beng of himself and fellow in
mates. We want the public to have the same con-
fdence in you that we have-we want you to show
that you really do appreciate the concessions that
to be made in this institution in the near fu-
ture and those already enjoy. To prove this
cOnclusively and show that we are made of better
than ordinary clay, the Mirror proposes TEST
and calls upon every inmate in the old and new
prisons to meet it with determination to win
We propose that every man resolves in his own
mind that for three days he will religiously live
up to every rule of the prison, and those three
days shall be, next Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Let us see how few will be hailed to court Monday
afternoon; and let see also, whether the honors
for good behavior will rest with men of the old or
the new institution.
Are you with the Mirror in this movement for
betterment to all concerned! If So stand with us
on these three demonstration days." It is the
test of STEEL" Are you willing to meet the test?

A SENTIMENT WORTH WHILE

l.. xlHILE speaking last week to the American
|W| blue Jackets and marines assembled at the
= Brooklyn navy yards to do honor to the
seventeen heroes who fell while fighting
for the flag, President Wilson said:
IL When l look at you feel as if also,
andwe all wereen enlisted men not in your par
ticular branch of the service, but enlisted
to serve the country, no matter what may
come, what though may waste our
lives in the ardorous endeavor. We are
expected to put the utmost energy of
every power that we have into the service
of our fellow-men, never sparing our
selves not condescending to think of what is going
to happen to ourselves; but ready, if need be, to
go to the utter length of complete self-sacrifce.
That is indeed noble sentiment and one which
every man can put into actual practice in every
day life, no matter what his calling may be, his
condition or environments. We can practice it
even here, shut in from the worlds &C
tivties, by faithfully performing the duties which
come to u.s. and if need be, 60 to the utter length
of complete self-sacrifce'' to make the loads of
those about us less burdensome to BEAR

DISTANTDAl RECALLEDAT
10Th ANNIVERSARY OF KAWAIAHAO

History Of the school from the time
OF its Inauguration so years ago until
the present day. In part, he said:
"As early as 1868, Kawaiahao
became indebted to the Athertons. who
have ever since continued to be its
most faithful and munifcent patrons.
In January, 1869, Miss Bingham's sis
ter, Lizzie K, arrived and joined in
conducting the school
Mrs. Atherton became ifs splendid
patron and supplied every need In the
construction and finishing of the beau
tiful building. which she named "Ath.
erton hair as memorial to her hus-
band, who during all OF the latter
years Of his life. beginning at middle
age, almost, was chairman Of the tTus-
tees and never-failing friend in time
of need.
Perhaps I am giving away a secret,
but the truth ought not to be secres
any longer, that at the end of many
a financial year, when he found the
balance on the wrong side OF the
ledger, even to the extent OF many hun
dreds or dollars, somehow he manipu-
lated the figures thai the school came
out even, with all debts paid and
everybody happy, and no need existed
for the services of en- expert to hunt
for fraud! God has indeed raised up
friends for this splendid school in
times past ..
All Nations Supply Pupils.
"kawaiahao Seminary has always
been cosmopolitan in its scope. Near
ly every nation on earth has contrib
uted pupils.
In The earlier days Hawaiians and
those of part Hawaiian blood were al
most exclusively represented; but as
its fine work became more generally
known and appreciated maGy others
applied from time to time for the priv
Hege OF placing girls there, with the
result that today, out OF total en-
rodment Of 1885, 81 are Hawaiian or
part Hawaiian, % Chinese, IL Japa-
nese; while the other 13 are American,
German. Korean, Filipino, Portuguese,
South Sea, ETC. =
The instruction covers, besides or
binary school work, many branches of
industrial training, including domestic
science. f.ses. - =. .. !. 81. =.
One result Of this is that many girls
are able to earn considerable sums, in
some cases more than the cost OF their
school tuition and board. =.
The records show that some girls
have earned more than $500 in a single
year; while the sales of clothing,
fancy articles. cakes, bread, etc. pro-
duced in the sewing room and kitchen
have at times exceeded 500 in a year.
Such results speak volumes for the
fine work done. .:-.,,s.

WORKINGEOR
INSURANCE MEMS
Meeting HERE

Zeno X. Myers has commenced
work in cooperation with H. J. Saun-
ders, vice-president and manager Of
the agencies of the Western States
Life Insurance Company, in the col
lection Of data regarding the feasibil-
ity and possibility of the members of
the 100000 Club holding their 1916
annual convention In Honolulu. At a
meeting of the committee Friday
Mr.. Saunders, who is visiting Homo
lulu for his health, urged the Promo
ticn Committee to get busy with the
insurance men, and not only endeavor
to bring the $4,000 Club convention
to Honolulu, but to advertise Hawaii
before the Worlds Insurance Con-
greSs which will be held in San Fran
cisco in 1915. and which will be al.
tended by the representatives of 261
life insurance companies in the Unit
ed States.
AIR. Saunders explained that the
company OF which he is agency man
ager has what is known as q $4,000
Club, and that each employee of the
company {sho each year writes $780,
600 worth OF insurance, or more, is
entitled to membership in the club.
The members OF the organization. he
said, hold convention at such places
IS Lake Tahoe, Del Monte, Monterey
and Santa Cruz, and he pointed out
the possibilities of securing the con-
yention for Honolulu in 1916.
IL there IL sufficient enthusiasm
after 1915, he said. 81 am sure that
It could be arranged to bring the 1916
convention here. l know that this
enthusiasm would arise among the,
insurance men If they knew as much
about Hawaii as | do. 1t is my idea
that you bring this convention to Ha-
wall and let the insurance men see
what you have got. It would be
money well spent 20 advertise Hawaii
before the Worlds Insurance Con-
gress In San Francisco In 1915, and
urge the men to visit Hawaii as a
side-trip. You would be surprised at
the number Of people you could get to
come here
Mr. Saunders asked the cooperation
OF the Promotion Committee in pro-
yfdfng for special rate to Hawaii
for the insurance men should the
convention be held in Honolulu. Mr.
Myers was appointed committee OF
one to look into this matter and to
render a report to the committee ON

fered:
ITO insure delivery Christmas par
GELS should be sent on the following

saving of time not only to the postal
