TRADING IN STOCKS.

The New York stock exchange has
come in for vast amount Of criticism
| in the last few years, some Of it de-
served, but most Of 1t based on misin-
formation. Now that it is proposed to
regulate the exchanges of the country,
an insight has been given into their
workings by witnesses testifying be-
fore a congressional committee. 1t
seems, after all, that one may take O
stroll down wall street without being
knocked down and robbed or even bav-
ing his pocket picked. 1t has become
known that many stock brokers have
families and that some of them even
attend church.
The cry Of "Wall street, has lost
considerable of it's force since the
matter Of reforming alleged bad prac.
tees has been brought to the fore. The
country must have some kind of mar
ket for its stocks and bonds and Wall
street provides such q market. 1t is
doubtful if the country could get along
without it. Unquestionably there are
sharks in the speculative pool, but
there ,are rascals in al walks of life,
and we do not know that the percent
age is greater in Wall street than any
where else, except they do business on
the curb.
just now curb manipulations are at
tracing considcra BILE attention owing
to the recent drop in Standard Oil Sc
curIties when so many lambs were
hard hit. Upon dissolution of the old
Standard Oil company the concern was
divided into thirty-three supposedly
separate and distinct companies. The
prices Of all of them advanced rapidly
and investors figured themselves thou
sands Of dollars richer The stocks Of
these Standard Oil companies were not
listed on the stock exchange and the
companies furnished no information
as to their operations. According TO
the Wall Street Journal, the listing re-
quirements of even the curb market
were not met.
When the bubble burst the other day
some Of these Standard Oil stocks
dropped 100 points and brought ruin to
those who had invested in them Sales
are not recorded on the curb and it
has developed that the quotations of
these stocks were sbamefully manipu-
lated. 1t used TO be said that there
was sort of inside working agree-
mcnt between the exchange and the
curb, but it probably doesn t exist now.
The exchange has been making A
pretty good showing for itself and is
not in any great danger Of being abol-
ished. The members themselves. how.
ever, welcome regulation along reason
able lines. Dealings on the curb will
probably be stopped or the brokers
made accountable for their operations.

An Adequate Navy.
By Admiral George Dewey.

\ careful study of our naval estab~
lishment as, it exists today leads un-
crringly to the conclusion that il grows
from need that the people feel in-
stinctively, but know not how TO meet.
The masses OF the people live inland,
rarely see battleship, have no oppor-
tuuity for gaining knowledge Of the
navy.
They believe in an adequate navy,
but are not sufficiently informed to
urge their representatives as 10 its up.
building The result has been that the
growth Of the navy has been haphazard,
has been feverishly pushed at times
when there Was imminent national dan
ger, and allowed TO 90 almost by the
board when there seemed TO the un-
trained observer no occasion for alarm
The general board carefully studied
the nation S commercial aspirations and
the strength OF the countries with
whom commercial rivalry was likely to
bring us in contact
1t studied the well.esta blished ma
tiopal policies like the Monroe doctrine,
and the restriction of Oriental immi-
grafton. 1t looked into possible com
pIications over defending the Panama
canal and maintaining its neutrality,
It became thoroughly convinced that
these policies could not be sustained
without an adequate navy, that America
must have such navy or surrender the

the nations of the world

naval policies Of other strong nations,

NEW GRADE IN NAVY.

A bill creating six vice admirals in
the navy has passed the senate and
now awaits action by the house. AT
present we have one admiral and a
number of rear admirals, but no vice
admirals, Dewey was made full nd
miral for his victory in Manila bay,
but congress refused to honor Schley
and Sampson for their work at San
tiago by making them vice admirals,
1t has steadfastly refused to create the
rank in the navy ever since, Perhaps
the efforts to put our officers upon a
par with those of other great navics
will meet with better success this
time. II involves the expenditure of
a few thousand dollars, however, and
the cheeseparers may succeed in de-
feating it in the house.

ANOTHER CHANGE.

When Deputy Warden Sullivan informed us
the other day that the Warden had decided to cast
upon our shoulders the responsibility as editor and
presiding elder of the Mirror, the news came to us
somewhat like thunderbot out of clear sky;
for it can truly be said that we had never given
the least thought to the possibility of our ever
getting the postion never have we imagined that
it were possible for us to aspire to such position
during our sojourn here. But, be that as it may,
a vacancy was caused and the position offered to
us, and-well, we accepted the appointment and
entered upon our duties at once Whether or not
the agement of the institution has been erratc
in their appointment of US, time alone will tell.
We shall, hewever, Try to do the best we can at
the beginning, and hope to gain more knowledge
of the art OF editing penal publication. Any
suggestion that is for the betterment of the paper
will be carefully considered by the presiding
youngster and the efficient typos in cur sanctum.
To- THE CONTRIBUTORS: sincerely hope
you will continue to give US the same hearty sup
port and cooperation as you have at all times &C
corded our predecessor While we have not as
yet had the pleasure of meeting you all, some day
when you least expect us we shall skate your way
and get better acquainted But, in the meantime,
assistance you may wish to render us; and we hope
to see new contributors come to light as the days
glide swiftly around; for let us bear in mind that
the Mirror is edited by the INMATES-with
chief at the head and not solely by the presiding
youngster who is at the helm. And for the
benefit of new contributors who may wish to join
the ranks, we wish you to know that writing ma
teria will be furnished to you, if you but make
your desire known to your officer in charge. We
will personally attend to such matters Immediately
upon the receipt of your request
To THE OFFICERS AND GUARDS: hope you,
too, will give the same support you always gave
the one BEFORE in the way of news for the Mir
ror's readers. Any little incident which may
have come to light under your observation, kindly
inform us of same when we visit your depart
ment; or, if you have one of the Mirrors contrib
utors in your shop, kindly inform him of the fact.
We thank you in advance for your support.

PROBLEM OF THE SURPLUS PRISONERS

The Missouri legislature, after celebrating on
a bill put before them for eight consecutive years
regarding the employment of prisoners at road
making, find themselves in somewhat precarious
position at the present time Heretofore the labor
contractors were willing to employ prison labor;
but they have served noticed to the prison
officials that they will discontinue the employment
of prison labor In view of this fact, more than
twelve hundred prisoners will be idle; and the at
tempt to solve the problem by permitting counties
to employ prisoners on road making, has not as
yet met with any in the state of Missouri.
1t is not probable that problem such as this
will ever confront the legislators of our state.
But it is to be hoped that at the next meeting of
the Minnesota legislature, the bill regarding the
employment of prisoners for road work will be
passed. This will at least be the initial step to
the establishment the ''honor SYSTEM" which has
worked so successfully in our sister states. That
the honor system would be successful in the state
of Minnesota we have no convictions to the con-
trary.
We advocate this honor movement because we
are fully convinced that the hearty cooperation
of the inmates with the officials would make it
success-a success that the state might feel we'll
proud of.
And again, we vigorously urge this movement
because of the fact that people still retain the
ancient hallucinaton that man has been
convicted and sent to prison he cannot be trusted
on the same plane with his unconvicted brother
To be sure, the people who take these prejudical
attitudes toward the poor convicted man, are in
the minority; but it is just this minority" who
cause the convicted one to feel that no matter
what he tries to do the world can never forget
the laws he once violated.
In our advocacy of such move, we speak
from prisoners point of view. We are one of
them; therefore, we mingle with them and are
we'll acquainted with their likes and dislikes. We
know nothing about their past; we know nothing
about the circumstances surrounding their case
which brought them here; but we DO know, how
ever, that the majority of them have regretted
their act and eager to show society that there
still is spark of manhood burning brightly in the
heart of the convicted.
