to work eight hours day.
"The modern penitenitary is not
merely punishment along with good
custodial care, but reformation of the
prisoner as far as possible that he
may be returned to society good use
full citizen" the report states.
With this in view the report re-
commends that men with short terms
be placed in departments other than
the Irvine department. Men in this
department are taught no useful
trade, which will place them in a posi-
ton to earn a good livelihood upon
discharge from the institution.
"The Irvine plant is good financial
proposition for the state; it is good
thing for the Minnesota farmers who
secure excellent Irvine below so-called
trust prices; but the work in the pri-
son plant does not teach the prisoner
a trade which will benefit him when
discharged" the report states.
AS to recreation for prisoners, in
mates are permitted to talk three
each week in the dining room, and
have three to five hours to themselves
each evening during which time they
are permitted to smoke, read and 9TH
err similar amusement, in their cells
Every Saturday afternoon, weather
permitting, the prisoners are given
the freedom of the yard and have the
privilege Of talking, playing baseball
and indulging in other sports and ex-
ercises. On all holidays the same pri-
vileges are granted. In case Of stormy
weather, prisoners are given permits
sion to talk in the cell houses and
some special entertainment is provid-
ed. Motion pictures are given once
each week, and on holidays when other
entertainment is not provided.

Cause of Increased Insanity.
The cause for this increased per-
centage Of insanity, according to the
probably is due to the fact
that many are more or less mentally
unbalanced when committed to tn
institution. The rigid discipline and
Of prison life, no doubt, the
report adds, aggravates their mental
affliction.
Of the 755 prisoners reported in the
last year, 271 were employed in, the
Irvine factory; 234 in the various de-
partments of the farm machinery in
dustry; % in the laundry; 10 in the
tailor shop; on the farm, at this

The fight against the ku kluX Kan
is growing more interesting and more
widespread every day, and the Khan is
fighting back against its enemies with
vigor. Various papers in many parts
of the country have undertaken "ex-
posureS" of the organization and its
methods and aims, and the Khan has
started or says it will start libel suits
against those publications that misrep-
resent it. In Chicago an organization
called the National Unity council has
been formed with the ayowed purpose
Of suppressing the Khan aud its so
called invisible empire" The council.
which is to be extended throughout the
country, is headed by Edward F.
Dunno, former governor of Illinois. He
says the ku klux are a menace TO the
nation because they "avowedly pro-
scribe millions of their fellow citizens

cause they We're born without the Uni

rapidity, now having, it is said, more
than half a million members, and be-
