morality. There are many men clad in gray uni
forms which mark them as criminal who are any
thing but criminal in mind or at heart They are
men who have slipped and fell in an unfortunate
and unheeding moment, and to whom the disgrace
and sting of prison sentence is their chief punish
ment Deprivation of liberty to them is of sec
ondary consideration; the feeling of humiliation
and the disgrace brought upon their hitherto good
name and upon their families, when the Judge
pronounced the sentence, and the prison doors
closed behind them, is the most severe punish
ment they could possibly have melted out to them,
no matter if that sentence be for one day or for
twenty years.
Such men DO reform, and reform very quickly
They do not close their eyes to the facts surround
ing the offense which brought them to prison; nor
do they forevermore condemn those instrumental
in sending them here. On the contrary they
come to quick realization of the mistake they
have made, and Immediately resolve to make
amends by living right and living down, if posi-
BILE, the disgrace they have brought upon them
selves and those they hold dear.
We agree with the Star of Hope that there are
greater proportion than may be found in the UNI
arrested members of the social world, and for this
reason we think it rather unbecoming of a paper
which should have for its purpose the up-lift and
encouragement of imprisoned men, to belittle the
thought the possibility of criminal reformation.

ALL HONOR TO THESE PRISONERS

- OR the first time in history. go-to-church-
H Sunday has been observed by the inmates
of penal institutions; and that honor be-
1T longs to the men and women confined in
TT the Minnesota State Prison, who turned
out enmasse last Sunday morning.
Unlike most Institutions OF similar
character, the inmates of this prison are
not compelled to attend religious services.
They may go every Sunday if they
choose, or remain in their cells. It is
purely optional>with the prisoners them
selves.
Last week the Mirror appealed to the
men and women within these stone walls to OBJ
serve Sunday February 8th go-to-church day,
following the popular movement inaugurated in
most of the larger cities in this country. 1t APP
peaed to them from the standpoint of self-inter
est; it pointed out the duty each individual inmate
owed to himself and to his Divine Creator; it APP
peaed to them men and women, and the result
was that few if any of the eleven hundred and
thirty five inmates remained in their cells during
the Sunday morning services.
1t was an inspiring sight to see these shut-in
members of the social body voluntarily and
Enthusiastically participating in the religious
services that are weekly enjoyed by their free
brothers and sisters of the outside world; and to
hear them heartily unite in the singing of hymns
familiar to all from babyhood.
The incident furnishes just another demOnstra-
ton of the fact that these men and these women
are, after all. human; with the same emotions, the
desires for good, the same sympathes and
same thought and hope for eternal life that fills
the hearts of men and women everywhere.
Call them criminals if you will, but this response
of theirs to the call of duty last Sunday marks
them as being at least worthy of kindly considera-
ton; worthy of having helping hand extended to
them in this their darkest hour of misfortune

CRIMINAL REFORMATION

published by the inmates at Sing Sing,
takes to heart the slight which his paper
received at the hands of the editor of
Lend Hand of Oregon, in the classified

that paper some time ago, in which list
the Star of Hope was not included The

journalism and the editor in-chief says it COW
ers its field and covers it well.
We do rot think, however, that the New
Yorker should have permitted his wrath to as
sumo such violent proportions as to ridicule the
methods pursued by other publications. or to as
sumo that every who processes reformation
in prison is rank hypocrit 1t may be that the
environments at Sing Sing preclude the possibility
OF reformation; but there many other prisons
scattered throughout the country-and this is one
of them-wherein reform is made the chief aim of
the officials in chargs, and the results accruing
from their efforts have been most gratifying.

ion, are as interesting, and all give out the
thought that there is too much mechanical effect
in the mode of worship existing in modern
churches to attract learned people, to incte a
desire for closer relationship with the church
and it's people.
THERE'S good bit of truth in this and the
more thought we give to the subject, the
thoroughly convinced we become that set form
of worship not only robs the church of it's attrac-
tveness, but also bettles it's power for good. No
man or woman who has found themselves suddenly
cast into the slough of dispond has ever found as
much comfort in the following of a set mode of
communication with the Heavenly Father, as in
taking their troubles to Him and laying them at
His feet in their natural way and in their own
words.
Prayer is merely thought transmission from
the mind of the suplicant to the Divine mind and
it is unnecessary to give utterance to these
thoughts The Masters advice to enter thou into
thy closet and pray in secret, was given so that
this transmission might be made without the inDer-
ference of other worldly thoughts; so that the
heart of the child could be opened fully to the
Father in holy communion.
No matter how illiterate man may be, his
mind knows his personal needs better than any
man-made prayer express them. Eloquence
or we'll rounded sentences count for naught. If
he will in all sincerity and without reserve take
his trials to God in his own way and in his own
words, he will find more resultant peace and COM
fort than could possibly follow the reciting of all
the prayers in any prayer book compiled by
man.

MOOSE LODGE TO :.
ELECT OFFICERS
At night Session
Persistent Rumor That Charter
Had Been Lost Is Denied by
Prominent Members

Following the oficiai visit Of J. y.
Davis and ]. ]. LentZ, high officials
in the grand ledge OF the Loyal Or
sistent runner has been current 70 the
effect that the local lodge has or is
about to lose its charter. This report
was denied this morning by prominanL
members, who stated that at a meet
ing to be held this evening officers
fer the ensuing year are TO be elected.
This election will fill the vacancies
caused by the resignation Of ell or
the local officers which occurred az
the time Of the shakeup which the
visit Of the grand lodge officials oc-
casioned. but the election is also the
regular che and would have been held
in any event. &.E . r.
Members who have been especially
active in trying to smooth cut the
troubles Of the lodge, declare that
this has been practically accomplished
That the disgruntled element. which
they say is small minority, has
been eliminated or brought into har-
mony. and that slate Of candidates
for the various chairs in the lodge,
which has already been nominated,
will be elected tonight without con-
test.
"AlI fraternal orders have their trou-
'bles from time 10 time" said a promi-
nent Moose this morning, 'and the
fact that there have been a few NAL.

claim they have no case. and that in
taking such step they would be di-
rectly violating their obligations in
the order.
A part of the trouble in the lodge
has been financial and part of it is

The district attorney stated yester-

he had received in connection with

does not like the idea of getting his

The beef trust idea is by no means

this line eight or nine years ago, and
only few months before District At

departure, the investigation apparently

he considered an illegal combination,
