 ''Toot your horn if you don sell a clam" the great merchant prince, Robert c. Ogden, used to say.
 It was the homely way in which these two men summed up the power of advertising.
 They believed if they had a good thing they should let the public know it. They followed the rule persistently and pros- pered.
 The best means of reaching the people of this town IS through the advertising columns of The Bulletin.

AN INNATE complains that an item referring to
him in the shop notes of recent issue of the Mir
ror did him an injustice and expressed himself as
feeling rather humated as a result of it's publica-
tion. We are sorry that anything has crept into
these columns which might be taken as a reflection
on anyone; and the victim may be sure that it got
by the editorial nose by mistake, whatever it
may have been. We have killed" hundreds of
seemingly innocent thrusts that have been sent us
for publication, rather than take chance on hurt
ing some fellow inmates feelings; but occasionally
one might escape us. To make doubly sure that
nothing of this kind may happen again, let us re-
peat our admoniton to all shop contributors to be
careful in what they write. 1t is the Mirrors
mission to scatter roses and sunbeams along the
stony path of servtude. We want to say things
and do things that will make men feel better and
do better-in short, we want to be fair to all.

A KANSAS LADY WRITES

A lady out in Kansas has received
a copy of the Mirror first prison
paper she has ever seen; and being
deeply impressed by it's contents,
sends the following communication
to the inmates:
Editor of Mirror, Dear Sir:
want to thank you for sending
me your most excellent little paper.
This is the first paper or publication
of any kind, that / ever saw that
was published inside prison walls.
You are certainly doing a noble
work, a work that will last and God
will bless you and your work.
You and all of your comrades
may thank God you are in Stillwa-
ter and not at San Quentin: that awful
Straight Jacket! do you know of any
plan to abolish it forever? How can
man or any set of men show such in
humanity for brother man, and we all
know that cruelty will never reform
a man or woman. 1t takes kindness
every time to reach the heart of a
so-called criminal.
/ don't like the word convict
either, inmate sounds best and is
best.
enjoyed so much reading about
your Mothers day exercises. |
wish / could visit with you all, as /
never saw inside of a prison.
Yours with all good will.

When in foreign land our fighting men,
who are not sentimentalists, open dungeons and
break shackles in the name of humanity and pro-

punishment; he is deprived of liberty and friends;
he loses social and political rights; but he is still

There the time was passed chatting,

tables placed at frequent intervals
in the shady recesses of the frown-
ing walls. At three in the after
noon friends and relatives, as we'll
as the general public, who consid-
cred themselves honored by being
allowed to enter the prison as visit
ors, were admitted. The multicol-

fined conversation and wit that nat
urally scintillated in a gathering
which was largely composed of what
was the wittiest and most sapient of
the French capital, made this most
brilliant assemblage, and per Sc suf-
fcient to put the seal of imposture
on the reports that seeked to brand
the Bastille as a terrible fortress
prison where the most inhuman and
barbarOus treatment was practised
upon it's unfortunate inmates. To
what degree of solicitude for the
comfort of the prisoner were the
efforts of the warders exercised, may
be judged from the records in the

With all of which it is hard to
reconcile our conception of the fa-
nous prison, which more than any

France served to shape the moment

the works of Dickens, Carlyle. Vic

And yet, here is documentary evid-

he welded gives ample proof in
support by his witty observation

Objectionable by the board are thrown out. In ad-

CARNATIONS have appointed committees to act in

But the most ridiculous part of the censorship

of the 'cut-out," or naughty portions of the films
at church gatherings; just to show" they say
how much good the censorship boards are doing ;"

Other churches have asked me to repeat
the performance for them.
Further this paper also says: The peculiar
part of this proceeding is that cutouts which are
not fit to be shown in a motion picture theater
should not be considered just the things to be ex-
hibited in church. The objection to the cut
outs is that children should not be allowed to see
them, and that children attend the moving picture
theaters. But do not children also attend picture
shows in churches and does the fact that blood
curdling' scenes presented in church make
them quite proper for children's inspection?
Human nature is peculiar, and this fact is
emphasized by the remark of the gentleman who
got up the show, to the effect: Other churches
have asked me to repeat the performance for
