LEAVE THEIR SORORITIES
The school authorities in their anti
frat war, like Caesar, saw and con-
quered the students of the Hyde Park
high school except in two stubborn
instances.
The ''holdouts" are Marjorie Stan
ton and. Carol Chickering, and these
pretty misses are in danger of being
expelled from the public schools, &C
cording to Mrs. E. F. Young.
The other 1872 students named in
the report of Hiram Loomis, the
school principal, have come into the
folds" announcing their resignation
from the secret societies.
The pledge that they will not be
members of secret society will be
abolished, authorities say Students
will now be asked to state that they
understand the anti-frat rule in the
schools.

the short time we are to remain in
the world. We must accept the re-

placed upon us, and the sooner we
get down to business the sooner will
We get hold of some of the good
things of life, and accomplish some
thing worth while. When we are
discharged from this institution we
owe to ourselves, to society, and to
every man herein confined to make
good. 1t is responsibility that we
cannot shirk without having to pay
the penalty. and, therefore, it is our
duty to see that we make our life
credit and not curse.
Some of you may say that you
were brought into this world with

therefore. cannot be held response
BILE If you make a failure of life and
fall short of the standard as laid
down by God and man. 1t is true
that we had nothing to say about
our entrance into this life, but we
have a great deal to say about the
manner in which we will live it,
and it lies wholly within our power
to decide whether we will rise or
fall, whether it shall be good or bad.
Make up your mind TO accept the
responsibilities. for without them
opportunity will. never come to you,
and life will mean nought to you
except mere existence.

PICKUPS AND PUNCHES
By Uncle John

State Agent Whittier showed a lady
friend the inside of the institution last week.
Sunday morning, Father Murphy officiating.
Telegram was around last Thursday
night interviewing men who wish to go to
school.
Father Corcoran was visitor at the pris-
on last Saturday and granted interviews to
several inmates.
Asst. Deputy Whelan escorted several
friends around last Thursday, visiting also
the hospital and green house.
DR.. Merrill, of the city escorted several
friends through the institution last week
and paid a visit to the library.
Mr.. Reed was visitor in the park last
Saturday, and took in the base ball game
from beginning to end; and enjoyed it very
much.
All the trees between the hospital and cell
hall A. will be cut down, SO as to give more
light and it will look better too when it is
finished.
After the base ball season, what then,
foot ball or snow. A good all round game
of snow ball would be fine sport for one
hour or so.
1t looks kinder suspicious, as soon as the
champion pitcher commenced to throw the
ball last Saturday it was good bye with the
run getting. How about it Pat?
Guard Rutherford says that with a few
Improvements in his team, he will make the
Red Sox, and Green Sox look like 80. cents
before he gets through with Them
Father Murphy is certainly very forceful
speaker, and preached one of the best SER
mons last Sunday that we have heard for
some time. His text was, GAS we SOW, SO
also shall we reap
We always thought there was something
the matter with G. S., but we did not get
next till now. the sly old fox, flirting with
woman suffragists both the girls and mar
ried women too for that matter Oh, you
6. S.
We had an interview with our old friend
Hutch last Saturday in the park, and asked
him how he liked the game. Huh! he said:
you don't call that game, why if | had
my Indians down here from North Dakota,
go and chase yourself.
We saw curious thing in the park last
Saturday. There were seven men talking in
one crowd, who have altogether been con-
fined in the Minnesota State Prison 1872
years. An average of more than 26 years
each. Just think of it, They can truly
say, elbow long, oh, Lord, how long, do
l have yet to remain?'
Mr.. Robertson, Supt. of Construction
has been transferred by the Board of Con-
troll to take charge of the erection of new
cell house at St. Cloud. He will be sadly
missed by those in the yard who were under
his immediate charge. The village black
smith who has been somewhat of a globe
trotter says he has never met the equal of
Mr.. Robertson, as an all round fine fellow
for boss.

PEACE SUNDAY

By formal proclamation, in the solemn and
impressive words of a man who is himself God
fearing and devout, President Wilson has appoint
ed Sunday, October 4th, to be day of prayer
and peace
1t is we'll. The incense of prayer could rise in
no nober plea. 1t is plea for humanity, for the
saving of human life, for the protection of the
home, for divine intercession to avert the waste
and woe of war.
So it will be that in every chapel throughout
this land, whether in prison not, and in every
home that has not made the pathetic error of
abolishing family prayers, on that day at least
mighty volume of prayer for peace will mount to
the throne on high.
And may those prayers be for peace, not now
alone, but always; not alone that this may ne
ended. but that all war may cease.

WARDEN ALLEN, of Joliet prison, has another
reform plan under way. He proposes, with the
assistance of Miss Mary Fuller, to abolish the
workshop for women and institute a household
science class instead. Miss Fuller, formerly dean
of women at the Michigan state normal college.
says that she intends to teach the women with the
idea of preparing them for useful life when thew
are released. They will be sent to good homes
provided by sociologists.

PONTIFF URGES PEACE

Pope Benedict XIV, in encyccal issued to
the episcopacy of the world, urges peace and
brotherhood among the nations
The encyccal, which is addressed to the Uni
versal Catholic World, deals chiefly with the
European war;
Looking out upon the flock intrusted to our
care" Pope Benedict says, the immense spec
tace of general war has struck us with unutter-
able horror and sadness.
When we see such considerable portion of
Europe devastated by fire and sword and drenched
with the blood of Christians it is encumbent us
to embrace all without distinction, lambs and
sheep in the arms of paternal charity"
The pope impores intercession for peace to the
Virgin, whose nativity has just been celebrated
and then continues:
'We exhort most earnestly those who govern
the destiny of the nations that they should bring
themselves to frame of mind whereby they may
put aside all dissensons contrary to the welfare of
humanity.
Let them realize that there is too much suffer-
ing and attached to this mortal and that it
should not be rendered more wretched or more
sorrowfu; let them realize how much ruin and
disaster already has been wrought and how much
human blood already has been she'd"
Addressing the heads of the nations the pope
says:
Hasten, therefore, to enter into a council of
peace. Grasp the right hand of friendship and
receive special reward from God for yourselves
and your nations and the greatest praise from
the brotherhood of men,"
The encyclica ends by the pope expressing the
hope that the beginning of his pontifcate will see
the end of wars.-Duluth News-Tribune
FARMER Benz of the Mower County Tran
script, has the following to say in regard to road
making by the inmates of this institutions
Warden Wolfer comes out strong agen in
in favor of state prison inmates workin' the
public roads of the state to keep 'em busy and to
work at somethn' that didn't interfere with other
labor l wish somethin' of this sort could be tried
out in Minnesota same as it is successful in some
of the southern states. There's nothin more in
human than to keep lot of prisoners in ideness.
They just naturally degenerate physically and
mentally. The good roads prob is big one. The
way we're taxed for 'em is getting burden
some and we amt getting the show of our money
very fast in actual permanent road improvement
while we're usn up wads of tax money in payn
salaries and contingent expenses. If we could get
big lot of prison labor on the roads it would help
all over and do nobody any harm in the way of
competition. Here would be occupation for the
next hundred years and everybody would be bene-
fitted in gettin' better roads. Prisoners ought to
be kept busy at something and they ought to be
paid something to 60 to their families

MOUNTAIN TRAIL TO
Be PUSHED THROUGH
Scout Forces Work on, Defying
Weather That Proved Mas
ter of Maine WoodSmen.

WILD RIVER CAMP, Me-, July r.
The White mountain trail now being
constructed by the troop of Boy Scouts
from Washington, Baltimore. and Bos-
ton will be finished on time" This is
the declaration of practically every
boy now engaged in the work.
After a series of mishaps that would
have discouraged even more hardy and
experienced workers than these boys.
during a spell of weather in which
native woodsmen refused to undertake
any sort of serious work, the boys have
practically half of the trail finished,
and with the added experience of three
weeks hard work are now confident
they can complete the amount of con-
struct!on provided by the Forestry Serv-
ice within the allotted time of four
weeks or a trif1e over.
On account of the delay occasioned
by rain. it begins to look as If there
would be little time left for the young
sters to go about sightseeing. but in the
minds of most of the boys. now deter
mined that the work planned shall be
carried out. this feature OF the expedi-
ton is of secondary Importance.
Last Monday morning the entire
troop packed up blankets, shouldered
axes. cant-hooks and mattocks. and
took their way along a narrow trail
by the side of Bull brook. to the To-
cation of the new trail. The distance
is about three miles. Much of the
way lies along the abandoned bed of
an old logging railroad. Several small
tributaries of Bull brook are crossed.
and the trail also crosses and re-
crosses the main stream several times.
Arriving at the new trail, temporary
camp was made, and all got to work.
About two miles of trail had been cut
out. and a portion of it ''grubbed"
during the preceding two weeks. By
Saturday night approximately seven
miles of trail were completed. -
It is difficult to explain Just what
this means. Imagine the side of a
mountain. sloping off at an angle of
nearly IS degrees At the foot of this
mountain is Bull brook. Just over the
mountain. a distance OF nearly ten
miles. is Maria brook, the first ebjec-
tive of the trail builders. The boys
now have constructed "a trail along a
series of zig-zags or switch bachcf'
completed most of the portion of the
trail along the comparatively level top
before starting the downward grade to
the old Maria brook trail. occasionally
designated as the Gorham trail"
the work is 10 be a notable accom-
plishment Forestry officials are
pleased This Is evident from the man
ner in which they regard what Is being
done. 1t is declared any statement
that the work was satisfactory would
amount to acceptance of the work. and
this cannot be done until the job Is
completed. The work has been COM
mended highly. however. and there is
no doubt that it is satisfactory.
