Rennyson has appeared at Covent

Bayreuth Wagner festival and this is
considered as the greatest honor that
can be conferred upon a singer in
Europe. Her vocal Qualities are said
to be exceptional, her voice large and
her enunciation clear. 49, -i%' -a-s

cago who arrived in Topeka this MORN
ing and rehearsed at the auditorium

IMMUNITY FROM ARREST

The vice president of big corporation
in the city of New York heard one day
that an old friend of his had fallen on
unfortunate days, and stood fine chance
to be indicted by the grand jury. Accord
ingly, he fastened out and found a politi-
cal friend.
'John," he said, giving him the name
of the man threatened with indictment,
"ths fellow is close friend of mine, and
don't want him indicted. Can you fix it
for me with the next grand jury?"
Leave it to me- said John. ''I'll fix
it, Elk it sure?'
Absolutely sure. Leave it to me, l tell
you
A few weeks later the rich man read in
a newspaper that his old and unfortunate
friend was on the grand jury. He immedi
ately called up friend politician.
'T'm afraid you misunderstood me,
he said excitedly. 81 didn't ask you to
put that fellow on the grand jury!'
CHOW, listen,' said the politician, very
bored, ''you asked me not to let him be
indicted. Well, I've fixed it. There II be
no mistake. Grand juries are grand-to
themselves. The Popular Magazine.

C0RRECTS A FALLACY
Men are not Equal in Prison
any More Than Outside,
Equality Measured by
Sin Alone
From the Umpire

You're convict, the same as |
am. You've got number on your
door, the same as | have You're
no better than I ann
How frequently remarks of this
kind are heard in the prison, and
how true they seem to those who
hear them, but the men who give
utterance to them are as wrong as
were the deeds that sent them here.
Men are not equal in prison, for
the same reason they are not equal
on the outside. Some are better,
others worse, but the same set of
rules govern all alike, and officials
may not show partiality, but right
there all equality stops. The better
man will rise in prison, just as
surely as be will in the outer world.
The physical giant will be no less
the stronger than the weakling by
reason of his imprisonment; no more
will the intellectual giant become
less intelligent than others, by rea-
son of his Incarceration. All men
are sinners. and in that respect alone
are they equal, but in no other.
Put two men in a ring, and the
best one will win the battle. Put
them in Jail, and the best one will
still win the battle. Jail may. and
does level all ranks for the time be-
ing. but it does not-cannot make
all men equal.
Prison Posts Opinion
Speaking on this same subject the
editor of the Joliet Post says
The prisoner who curses and is
vulgar and lewd in his conversation
is not the equal of him whose con-
versation is clean and wholesome.
The scandal monger is not equal of
the man who speaks kind words.
He who makes trouble for the Of
tcers is not the equal of the pris-
oner who does his best to be useful.
The uneducated man who does not
avail himself of the benefits of the
school, and thus proclaims that he is
willing to wallow in his ignorance,
is not the equal of an uneducated
man who, by attendance and appli-
cation. tries and overcomes his edu-
catioDal deficiencies.
The prisoner who gives the Ward
en- his word Of honor, and is placed
in a position to easily make his
escape, and then runs away, is not
the equal of the man who stands
fast by his pledge in spite Of all
temptations.
There is as much difference be-
tween prisoners as there is amongst
free men, and it is always he OF the
lowest order who ms SITS that all
prisoners are equal.
Modern prison reform becomes an
impCssibility If the equality of all
prisoners is conceded"

THIS is ENCOURAGING.

Editor Mirror, Sir
While sitting in my cell on Good
Friday. reading our precious paper,
the Mirror; the thought came to me
that if every paper would send the
same call and exert the same ener-
gy to recall fallen humanity as the
Mirror, there would not be SO many
crimes committed in the world; and
the world would be better.
My fellow inmates, if we take the
advice of the Mirror when we leave
these prison walls wemay be sure we
will never come back again, for we
will be prepared and able to stand the
storms of life. truly hope these
few broken remarks may cause some
motherless or fatherless boy like
myself to forget the past and think
of better life for the future, taking
God for our captain the one who
has never lost a battle.
| take great interest in reading
the Mirror now, and feel that it has
done me great deal of good. |
hope | shall always have copy OF
it and that after | leave here my
name NAV be enrolled as a SUBJ
scriber.

There's a Rift in the Clouds
By Jean Fraser Macdonald

There's a rift in the clouds; they are
breaking at last,
Now cease all your worry to borrow,
No more stormy weat Their or rainy forecast
The day will be brighter tomorrow.
There's riff in the clouds; lift your heart
and be glad,
Forget all your worry and sorrow,
Forget that tomorrow, new troubles NAV
add.
For God will take care of tomorrow.
There's rift in the clouds: see them all
disappear,
When once the suns rays commence
shining.
Discard all your worry. your doubt and
your fear
And cease all this foolish repining.
There's rift in the clouds; though the
good Lord knows well.
That our lives need some stormy weather.
Yet no one has ever been able to tell,
That rainy day lasted forever.
There's a rift in the clouds; be your life
what it may
And perhaps it's Gods own designing;
When storms grim and threatening are
headed your way,
Just watch for the sivery lining.

PAROLE or men
GOOD FOR FARMERS
Recent Court Action in Kentuc-
ky is Hailed by Rural Citizens
AS a Good Thing for State
and Men.
The Neao York World

A recent decision of the Court of
Appeals in Kentucky will give free
dom to 422 prisoners now confined
in the two penal institutions Of that
state. The decision was rendered
in the case of one John eMoss and
holds that under the new Kentucky
lndeterminate law. when a prisoner
has completed his minimum SEN
tence and shows a clear record in
the prison, he must be issued a pa
role.
Naturally, the convicts are de-
lighted. Of the 422 convicts to get
their liberty 232 will go from the
penltentiary at Frankfort and 100
from the Eddyville prison.
One of the requirements with
which prisoner must conform be-
fore he can be paroled even under
the new order is that he must have
a job awaiting him. This has caused
the 422 prisoners who are to be re-
leased to cast about for landing
place: Among them are ind1vid uals
OF all classes, some very expert in
certain lines. but most of them are
ordinary laborers, this being especi-
ally true of the negroes, who are In
the majority. Right here is where
the release of the prisoner promises
to be good thing for the State at
large. For several years the question
OF farm labor has grown to be more
and more matter of serious nature.
The negroes prefer to live in the
towns or to work on the public
works, where they can be together
in crowds. Often the farmers are
sorely tried in their efforts to get
labor at rush seasons and are forced
to pay exorbitant prices.
To Work on Farms
But the ordinary laborers among
the convicts find the farms their best
chance for getting the coveted job.
The farmers are willing to take the
risk, if risk it is, and they are offer
ing to give employment to the pris-
oners. In one county the seventeen
negroes that are due to return have
all been thus guaranteed work.
Other counties are doing the same
thing and probably the majority of
this class of the convicts will find a
home and freedom on the farms.
Much consolation is found in the
fact that a radical change IN the
methods of handling and treating
the convicts will result. They will
be better citizens when their terms
are out.
One of the results of the new law
will be the changing of the Frank
fort prison into a reformatory. where
the female and younger prisoners
will be confined. and the Eddyville
prison into the penitentiary. where
men only will be confined, and these
only for major offenses.
The prisoners are now allowed
more liberties; they are permitted to
enjoy the prison libraries, attend
night school, organized in the vari-
Gus cell houses, attend religious SER
vices, to have the freedom of the
grounds at stated times, and when
the weather permits to play ball and
take other healthful outdoor exer-
cises, to receive mail, and are given
better and cleaner cells and better
food.
1t is believed by those in touch
with conditions that the released
prisoners will come out into the
world again with full appreciation
of the joys and privileges of liberty,
and few of them will again wilfully
dlsobey the laws aud be returned to
bondage.
