Convict Editor, in
Farewell, Says Much
Gold Among Dross

sTTLLwATER MINI. Aug. S.-The
editor OF the saltwater State Prison Mir
ror. whose writings have attracted con-
siderable attention in Minnesota and in
other states. has been granted clemency
by the State Board OF Pardons and will
depart from. the prison before the end
OF the present week.
In the curreRt issue of the paper the
editor. whose name was not made pub
lie by the beard OF parole. bids fare
well to his fellow oonvicts and expresses
sadness at the parting, although we
have the Joyful prospect OF once more
breathing free air aad dwelling where
ones soul can once more be ones own
and Gods"
During our Incarceration here" tho
editor continues. I'VE have learned one
lessen never to be forgotten. We have
learned there IL pure GOLD here among
the droBs; that there are within these
wallis Ms good and true hearts as ever
dared TO throb men who would make
the world better by living in II. were
they all given the chance. We have
formed deep-rooted friendships that will
last until the rays OF llfe's light are
Into the land Of freedom TO toll "a only
free man can for those who are dearer
TO us than cur own life ever can be-
They who have had the finger OF scorn
pointed at them from all hooks ana
corners; they who have suffered I'M
told, indescribablo hardships and de-
privHtiens because OF our absence from
the family hearth.
Our greatest sorrow In saying good
bye n that we cannot take you all along
to share our Joy and freedom with us.
But memory will keep enshrined your
names on the tablets of our heart; stone
walls and iron bars shall not break tho
links OF kindness and friendship
so goodbye. one and oil; goodbye
dear old Mirror. May you ever prosper
and continue to bring cheer to those who
may be so unfortunate as 20 get here
from where we now go forth; may YOU
ever continue to boldly proclaim the
rights Of the convicted men and women;
may you never cease in the good cause
Tor which you were intended and have
steadfastly maintained. and may the
time soon come when you can prove 70
all as you have proved to many that the
word convict does not particularly
apply TO any one class OF people, but
that those in prison are even as YOU
and P-just ordinary human beings"

u, s. WILL AVOID ANY
ALLIANCE WITH EUROPE

WASHINGTON, D. G. - The United
States will continue to act alone in
representations to Great Britain re-
garding neutral trade.
1t was learned that negotiations be-
gun by the Swedish legation to get
American cooperation in proposed
concerted action of neutrals to pro-
test against the British orders in
council, in so far as they work hard
ship on neutral commerce, had
brought no results.
The most recent Swedish proposal
contemplated identic notes of protest
by neutrals, fiat rejection by the
American State Department having
met a previous suggestion for a joint
note. The United States held that it
could not involve itself in any agree
ment that might be interpreted as
contracting entangling European al
liances.

In Defense of Conscience.

The meanest thing ever said about
conscience were the words put into
Hamlet's mouth by William Shake
speare: "Thus conscience does make
towards Of us ALL"
This remark has caused many people
to believe that conscience was nothing
but a coward maker, and consequently
they have refused to have anything to
do with it. Never was anything more
unjust. Shakespeare's assertion is tyue
only on the assertion that we are all
sinners. To be fair, he should have
said: ''Thus conscience does make COW
ards of all of us who have sinned or
who are about to sim Then he would
have been more in agreement with Sol
ONION, who was wiser, and who said
1.-THE wicked flee when no man pur-
sueth but the righteous are as bold
as a lion life.
