A SLIGHT mistake in our report of the address

DEALING WITH FIRST OFFENDERS

RIMINOLOGISTS have for some time
past been carefully considering the very
important question of properly dealing
ii with those men and women who, through
indiscretion, are brought before the bar
II of justice charged with an offense which,
II if proven will send them to a felon's cell
H. and probably mark the beginning for
them of lifetime criminal record The
more learned and active of these men who
are devotng their time to the study of
lettering social conditions, are agreed
that too much severity in the manner of
dealing with those who have never be-
fore broken the laws and whose past record has
been clean and without flaw, has had a great deal
to do with the increase of crime and the enlarge
ment of the criminal class
In writing upon this subject, Judge James P.
Gorter, of Baltimore, says:
:'As general thing the first offender is greatly
Inundated and mortified by his arrest and stay in Jail
for in many cases he is unable to give bail and
remain behind the bars until his trial. That is
usually sufficient to give him decided distaste for
prison life; he does not become accustomed to it, nor
hardened to the society of his fellow prisoners. All
of this makes tremendous impression upon his
mind; he would do almost anything to escape it and
regain his freedom
'In very many cases, therefore, the first offender
has been sufficiently punished when his comes up
and he finds himself convicted. That is another Sc
shock in itself.
''NOw here is the problems Should you send
that man to the penitentiary where he will become
accustomed to associating with criminals and un-
doubtedly will get changed viewpoint of lfep In
stead of making good out of him. you will
probably make him another for the police
deal with all his days.
Judge Gorter's paper supports contention
expressed in these columns several weeks ago in
which we stated that mans worst punishment

consciously we find ourselves hummlng 1t and
feeling all its inspiring influence for good
in our hearts.
And it is we'll for us that our memory still
tains this thought of she to whom our
lives and all the good that remains within U.S. and
it would be we'll for us to encourage and cultivate
these thoughts so that they would at all times be
uppermost in our minds. 1t is one way that
can honor her memory, or honor her while she is
yet alive.
This editorial is written for the purpose of
turning the mind of each inmate here back to
mother and her favorite hymn. We want you to
remember it-and sing it, and with this end in
view we have proposition to make which we be-
lieve every man and woman here confined will
spond to heartily. 1t is this:
Suppose you write down on a piece of paper
the name of your mothers hymn, sign your name
or register number, and address it to the editor;
hand it to your officer and let us have it sung at
the regular Sunday services. What do you say?
Will you do it!
We are quite sure our chaplains at both pris-
sons will be only too glad to cooperate with the
Mirror in this Mothers Hymn idea and we can
achieve success in it, greater than Co.
to-Church Sunday. Of course only certain
number of the hymns be sung each Sunday
but we will keep at it until we have gone through
the entire list and the Mirror will announce those
selected for the following Sunday in each issue.
Who will be the first to respond and enter his
name on the Mothers Hymn Honor Roll?

good people of Pittsburg for swelling Mr.. Sun
days already enormous bank account to such gen
erous proportions; nor do we blame the thrifty
Billy for taking it, and in turn saying his stay in
Pittsburg one of the most pleasant and result
full in his career as an exhorter; but we cannot
help thinking how far that forty thousand dollars
would have gone toward relieving the suffering of
the families of Pittsburgs vast army of unem-
ployed men, which, according to the papers, num-
bers about twelve thousand.
Then, too, is it quite fair to lavish all this
wealth on man for eight weeks work, when
there are thousands of deserving under-pad min
listers of the Gospel throughout the country?
Men who, with their little families are engaged in
the same Christian work in the remote corners, at
the roads, where their attention is
needed quite much as it would be in city,
where they 60 about week in and week out, min
isterng to the spiritual needs of their little focks
visiting the sick, baptizing the young, and bury
ing the dead; all the time merely existing on a
pittance that will scarcely keep body and soul to-

1t doesn't seem just right-do you think it
does! But of course we suppose it's like every

Trinidad, Colo.-James Johnson, a
negro miner, was killed in a rifle duel
with a detail of state troops in the
hills between Cedar Hill and Tabasco,
fifteen miles northwest of here.
Earlier Johnson had shot and seri-
ously wounded Clinton Robinson, mar
shal at Hastings, when the officer at
tempted to put him under arrest. Six
men, arrested by the militia near the
place where johnson was killed. are
being held for examination. None of
the six was armed. They are all white
union miners from the Ludlow tent
colony and their presence in the com
pany of the negro is believed due to
a chance meeting on the road.
Marshal Robinson was called at
Hastings to quell a general fight that
had broken out among party of ne
groes. Johnson opened fire on the Of
ficer with Il revolver, inflicting two
serious wounds, and then made his es-
cape into the hills south of the camp.
A detail in command of Lieutenant
Lawrence was sent in search of the
fugitive, and the party was fired upon
from ambush in the hills above Cedar
Hill The fire was returned at 600
yards and the shooting continued sew
eral minutes. When the firing ceased
Johnson was found dead beside pile
Of empty shells. Johnson is said to
have been armed only with a revolver
when he fled from Hastings, but a
high-power rifle was found beside the
body.

Ell Paso, Tex, March 31.-A tale OF
rebel reverses and rebel luck was
brought here last night from the front
by John S. Reed, correspondent of the
New York World, and Robert Dormain,
photographer, who escaped from
Torreon Their stories are the first
accounts CT eye witnesses since the
attack on Gomez Palacio, Lerdo and
Torreon begun. They left the front
Saturday morning, at which time they
estimated the rebel loss was 1900 in
killed and wounded
Dorman brought back Il report that
Colonel Victor Huerta, son of Presi-
dent Huerta, was among the federal
dead. He said also that British Vice
Consul Cummings of Gomez Palacio
was sent to Torreon by General Villa
to suggest to General Velasco that he
surrender.
Cummings left Gomez Palacio Fri
day evening and was expected to re-,
turn early Saturday morning, but when
the correspondents left he had not re-
appeared. and there was much specu-
lation as to his safety.
I'VE were whipped twice at Gomez
Palacio,' related Dorman, but the
federals didn't have the good sense to
follow up their advantage, and Villa
returned to the attack after reorganiz-
ing and ultimately occupied the city.
We were whipped right there, but We
lasco, the federal commander, didn't
know it.
Federal prisoners whom We cap
tured said that Velasco later went in
sane in the trenches. He is cripple
of previous revolutions and has bad
arm and bad leg. The prisoners tola
us he went mad after Gomez Palacio
and went raging up and down the
lines, cursing and issuing the most alb
surd orders. Ultimately his own Off
GERS put him under restraint.
'Our attack on Gomez Palacio was
centered on the hill known as Cerro
de la Pillar. 1t is precipitous and we
made seven assaults before taking it.
The result of each of the six assaults
which were unsuccessful could be dis
cerned after the battle by the rings of
dead rebels Their bodies distinctly
marked the line where they were re-
pulsed.
The homemade shrapnel of the
rebels had much to do with the early
repulses at Gomez Palacio. Only about
one in thirty exploded.
General Villa is fighting man.
He was everywhere and his greatest
delight was to join the assaults on foot
and throw hand grenades himself.
ultimately he will take Torreon.
when we left, Saturday morning,
the fight for the possession OF Tor
reon was in progress. 1t was slow,
stubborn work, as the rebels had to
fight from house to house. the enemy
retreating from position to position
through holes knocked through the
mud houses which are built one
against another"
Reed and Dorman agreed that the
superiority Of the federals' artillery
should have given them permanent
victory but for Velascos failure to fol-
low up his advantages.
The rebel and federal forces at Tor
reon still are engaged in battle, it was
learned Monday night.
