language of the statutes, and similar
language is found in the laws of only
four other states.
The new cell block was built at a
cost of over $3,0OO,OOO, and satisfied
every advanced idea of prison con-
struction. No more than one prison
er is permitted in cell; the sanitary
arrangements are excellent; light and
heat and ventilation are like those in
school.
The discipline is very strict, but
consistent. Everything, except some
of the machines, operates noiselessly
and with precision. There is no dark
cell, no whipping post, no claiming
device or any other manner of cor
poral punishment. In lieu of these
a system of rewards and punishments
has been evolved. The prisoner who
does not behave gets less food than
the others. If he persists in his con-
trariness, he is put in a darkened,
not dark, cell. AS the very limit
of punishment his tobacco is taken
from him. The loss of his tobacco
usually appeals quickly and strongly
to convict's judgment.
In so far the Saltwater prison is
similar to the best elsewhere; but in
the use of its manufactured products
it is unique. Within the prison is
located the best equipped factory for
the production of binder Irvine any
where in the country, and it has the
third largest output of any similar
factory.
Here is the revolutionary fact. The
manufacture Of binder Irvine in the
Minnesota prison is so well managed
that it entirely supports the prison,
and earns enough more to give every
convict small daily Century.

If I am known as an after dinner

Most men get their relaxation in
cards. That makes them keep late

They die young. But the public never
learns of their card playing. So it

This point was raised during the
1913 session Of the legislature when
the salary of the state auditor was
fixed at $4,000, this amount to cover
his entire compensation as state au-
ditor and also as land commissioner
and secretary Of the drainage com
mission, for which he had been paid
81 900 additional. His former straight
salary had been $4,000.
The question was taken into the
courts by John C. Benson, a Minnie
apolis attorney, who began proceed
ings to restrain julius A. Schmahl,
secretary Of state, from placing Rines'
name on the primary ballot because
of the alleged ineligibility. Minnea-

If TIE editors of Minnesota are go
ing to measure up to the responsible
ties which are thrown upon them they
must make their papers pay more and
cut out petty political jobs, says the
Morris Tribune. There is more popu-
lar discussion of men and measures
than there ever was before, and read
ers are looking to the papers for re-
liable news and honest and indepen-
dent views. The day, when reader
wanted paper to just "holler for our
side" has long gone by. People want
to vote intelligentiy on political is
sues, and expect TIE newspapers to
honestly supply them with informa-
ton on which to base their Judgment.
No other newspapers can do this as
well as the country weekly.-Waseca
Herald.
This paper has been of the opinion
all along that Jake Preus, present
insurance commissioner, would not
permit his name to be used as can
didate for state auditor against Henry
Rines, but through some grapevine
information recently received at this
office it now looks as though Jake vas
going to be forced into making the
run by the machine crowd. In fact,
the machine" has given it out that
no progressive candidate for any state
office must be permitted to get away
with the persimmons in the coming
primary. 1t is our opinion, however,
that Mr.. Preus, personally popular
though he is, will have an uphill job
trying to defeat Henry Rines for au-
ditor.-Brown's Valley Tribune.

Road to Promotion.

All employees look forward to the
day when they will gain promotion
when their wages will be raised. and
they will be given greater responsible
ties and more authority.
Too many employees set the day Of
their promotion upon the basis of the
time they have been with the insti-
tuition. That is wrong basis. Time is
eternal and 1t is cheap. There is an
over-production Of it.
To be worthy of promotion you
must make good-do your work. fin
isb the task, no matter how humble.
some day you expect to be weighted
with responsibility and clothed with
authority to give orders. Regardless
of the line of your employment, you
must demonstrate that you have the
strength to carry responsibility.
Before you are entitled to give or
ders, you must demonstrate your abil-
ity to take orders-and to execute
them.

Spring waned and summer came.
The sun beat down with dull persist
ency, and baked the sand and shriv-
eled up the heading lettuce in Bob's
garden. It scored the scant foliage
of the new-set trees and scorched the
lawn he had coaxed from seed. The
house offered the only shelter, and
even that was hot. Jane made two or
three excursions to the beaches with
Mrs. Collins, but these necessitated
tiresome rides On crowded trolleys, so
she abandoned them and stayed
closely at home with nothing but her
work, her books and idle chats with

with occasional games of cribbage and
pinochle.
Diversions were not plentiful and in
deed there was little need of them.
Bob's day in the city, his long trip
home, the dinner, his hour with his
garden and James daily struggle with
domestic duties left little energy for

front. The room was Of barren sim
plicity; severe white walls, a window,
closet, and door to the bathroom with
woodwork of the cheapest spruce.
The only access to the second story
was the stairway in the kitchen. There
were two rooms there. A long one

The lower half was stucco and the up
per brown-stained shingles. The ex-
tending mansard roof dropped low
over the Veranda and gave snug,
equatty appearance to the whole.
Within. it boasted no reception room
or hall. The big living room ran the
full breadth of the house, and served
as parlor, library and dining-room.
On this the most pretentious efforts Of
the builder had been spent. On the
side abutting the kitchen it had a sta
tionary sideboard Of mission effect.
The entire wall was paneled halfway
with a similar wood; a cheap ash,
stained in imitation Of mission oak.
Above the paneling on this end Of the
room was a narrow shelf meant to
retain the usual array of stems or
plates. Though not separated by door
or arch, the attempt had been made
to have this half conform to the re-
quirements of a dining-room, leaving
the other to serve as library. The
low windows were set with uniform
simplicity; one on either side Of the
door and one at each end. In the liv-
ing half Of the room a window seat
ran from door to wall, and a combina-
ton bookshelf and desk Offset the buf-
fet of the other side. This corner Jane
had converted into comfy" home
like lounging place. Pillows of her
own making were scattered plentifully
along the window seat and piled high
at the end against the wall. A little
center table laden with books, maga-
zines and Bob's tobacco tray was in
reach, and, beside it, big morris
clair and James smaller rocker. Here
