In place of the regular football work
of former years, an Innovation was in
troduced this fall in the form of
series of baseball games. played on
the college grounds between the Var
sity and visiting. teams, an average
of one game being played each week
since the beginning of the term. The
series has proved very interesting and
it is hoped that the weather will con-
tinue to be favorable for two or three
weeks more, Thus far, St. Mary's nine
has won every contest and this fact
reflects favorably not only upon the
excellent team work of the players,
but also upon John A. Keltus, the
moderator in charge of the athletic
department who has coached the boys.
A we'll established movement is on
foot to organize what. may be known
as the st. Johns Valley Basketball
League, which will comprise a group
of six or eight first class teams from
this section of the State and from
New Brunswick, and it is hoped that
ARRANGEMENTS will be completed so
that the schedule may be opened be-
fore the end of this month. St. Mary S
College, which is always represented
by a fine team, is expected to be one
of the leaders in the league.
The enrolment thus far is unus-
ually large and new students are be-
ing constantly received 1t is expected
that the present year will break all
records in this line. Work in all the
college departments is progressing
satisfactorily.
Very Rev. Fr. Thouvenin, S. NJ, su-
perior of the college, has announced
that the annual spiritual retreat for

CONVICT LABOR ON ILLINOIS ROADS

Last Sundays magazine section of the Du-
luth News-Tribune told the interesting story of
Warden Allen Of the Illinois state penitentiary at
Joliet and Camp Hope, the place where Mr. Allen
first established a convict camp to build good
roads. From it it appears that Warden Aliens
plan of convict labor on state highways has
double advantage. The first and greatest is that it
gives the men a chance. The plan helps them to
establish their self respect. It is radical de-
parture from the methods of old time penologists
but it has been big in it's accomplishments. Allen
now proposes to establish several more convict
road building camps along the same lines as those
followed at Camp Hope. His experience convinces
him that the good results there obtained can be
extended to them all. The second advantage is
the improvement of state highways badly need
ing repairs at slight cost. Aliens plan is not
new. It was first tried out by Warden Tyndall
Of the Colorado state penitentiary and has there
had the most excellent results that it did in
Illinois, while the classes of convicts in the two
institutions are in the composite of widely differ
ent types. Eight states are now using convict
labor in highway improvement. In all but two Of

them, the honor system obtains that IS, there are
no guards over the men. In all Of them, so far as
the limited information at hand extends, the re-
suits have been uniformly excellent.
This leads us to speculate as to whether or not
such a plan would not work out as advantageously
in Minnesota as it has in Illinois and Colorado.
Radical changes in the conduct of Minnesota's
state penitentiary were indicated as necessary in
a recent report to the state board Of control The
manufacturing industries at the state prison will
in short time be so curtailed that all of the in
mates there cannot be provided with useful oc-
cupation. Suppose that few hundred of the con-
victs from the state pententiary were set at work
building roads in northern Minnesota where they
are most needed. Wouldn't it be better for the
men? Wouldn't it be better for them to be out
in the open air working at a healthful occupation
and doing genuine service to the state than con-
fined in idleness behind stone walls at Saltwater
The object of prison sentences today is more re-
form than punishment We are furnishing more
than we are reforming at Saltwater There is
genuine need for highway construction over many
sections of the state. Why can't these men be
set at work as they are in Illinois and Colorado
building good roads and improving roads already
built? There is no reason why they can't or why
the plan will not work out as acceptablv in this
state as it has in Others

Several candidates for state office have been
looking us over this week. Most of them were
surprised to know that in the recent municipal
election we cast 1900 votes in Virginia. The
time is not so far remote when to speak of. the
iron range in st. Paul was to refer to a. sort of
distant region, place far removed from the rest
of the kingdom of Governor Eberhart. Then our
official 'fxers" used to live in Duluth. They
gave the word and the word went out through
the iron range and was faithfully observed Last
year the iron ranges showed decidedly nro-
gressive tendency They gave Theodore Roose-
welt majority, they gave James Manahan and
James Peterson substantial endorsement and
generally showed a spirit of all around indepen-
dence that caused the powers that be at St. Paul
to marvel much Today many Minnesota people
retain their rather vague and indefinite ideas of
the iron range country, but there are few who
do not know that the city of Virginia is one of
the most important in the state The prospects
seem to be that we will see good deal of candi-
;dates for state office during the coming campaign
and we are frankly glad of it. There is nothing
like sizing man up at close range.

The Enterprise is frankly interested in the
bulletin just issued by the United States Steel
corporation showing the scope and results of the
work being done by it's Bureau of Safety, Relief
Sanitation and Welfare. 1t is newsy indeed and
it conclusively demonstrates that there has been
going on right here at home a good deal of well
fare work that has been attended with fine re-
suits that good many Of the people of this Sec
ton have known nothing about. In the matter
of giving news of it's various activities to the
newspapers of the range the local subsidiaries
of the Steel corporation have never in the past
been quite as liberal as we would like to have
them. There has always been dearth of infor-
nation at official headquarters on the range, but
it is gratifying to know that that condition is
changing. In the bulletin just issued we can
see the material for several fine news stories
that would be of general interest over all this
section. The work of the visiting nurses, for in
stance, must be prolific of human interest stories,
the greatest stuff that can be gotten into
print nowadays. There are a good many bright
young men in the employ of the Steel corpora
ton on the iron ranges and the wonder is that
along with it's other systematic and we'll organiz-
ed activities the Steel corporation does not
designate one Of them in it's various districts to
take the newspapers into it's confidence, especi-
ally on it's welfare work in which there u.s. because
Of local conditions, the most pronounced interest
in all this section.
