MINNESOTA PRISON LIFE

The Minnesota state prison was established for the confinement and reformation of convics' That Is the language of the statutes similar language is found in the laws of only four other states
 The cell block was built at a cost of over S300OO00 and satisfies every advanced idea of prison construction. No more than prisoner is permit ted in cell; the sanitary arrangements are excel lent; light and heat and ventilation are like those in d school
 The discipline is very strict, but consistent Everything, except some of the machines operates noselessy and with precision. There is no dark cell 10 whipping post no chaning. device, or any other manner of corporal punishment. In lieu of these {, system of rewards and punshments has been evolv- ed The prisoner who does not behave gets less food than the others. If he persists in his contrariness he is put in darkened not a 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 convicts judgment
 In so far the Saltwater prison is similar to the best elsewhere; but ill the of it's manufactured products it is unique. Within the prison is located the best-equipped factory for the production of binder twine anywhere the country and it the third largest output of any similar factory.
 Here is the revolutionary fact. The manufacture of binder twine in the Minnesota prison is so well earns enough more to give every convict a small daily wage-From The Next Step in Prison Re form, by Richard Barry in the March Century.

The New Rules and the Old

The National Voters League has found that the abolition of Cannonism has freed the country that the vaunted new. rules honey -combed with jokers that the! give little more freedom of ac- - tion and representation than the old rules the revolt against which the first move that resulted in the overthrow of the republican party

Texas ,; Missouri, 2 Kentucky, l; Maryland l. Virginia 3; North Carolina, ]; South Carolina l. Florida 2 Georgia, l., Tennessee, 7. and Alabama f.
 The map shows that two-thrds of the 'countrl represented on the by shaded lines, is without representation except by democrats who are unirn- portant parts uf the legislative machinery and that the remainder of the country might as we'll under the rules have representatives in congress at al
 The unrepresented portion consists four dis tricts in California, all of oregon Washington Idaho. Nevada Utah.

Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
 This classification of the country results from the rules which say only apparently are an i'm proveinent upon the Cannon rules They are only a little more annoying to the manpulators and re- Qulre little more round about action The speaker is apparently shorn of power. but with the aid of the majority leaders who always find CO., operation profitable the same end is reached
