Visitor At Shakopee Tells
OF Reforn1atory Life There

"A Rock County woman recently
visited the State Reformatory for wo-
men, located at Shakopee, and later
wrote for her home paper, the Rock
County Herald, the following account
of her visit:
''The wives of the legislators are
entertained at the Shakopee State
Reformatory for women, once during
each session for luncheon, inspection
of the buildings and work done there
by the inmates, also the women and
girls from some one cottage, as they
are called, put on an entertainment.
To-day, it was an Operetta "Love
Pirates of Hawaii" in two acts, put
on by the twenty-five inmates of Sus-
an B. Anthony cottage, the building
where the more intelligent prisoners
are kept. 1t was directed and drill
ed by an inmate, who was formerly a
musician in a movie theatre. Many
of the girls had splendid voices, and
the whole thing was well done and
very much appreciated, and well put
on when you realize that the cos
1umes were all made by themselves
out of unbleached muslin and paper
and cambria. The curtains in their
Sym were of unbleached muslin and
their stage decoration plants grown
by themselves in their little individ-
anal gardens in summer. You marvel
at their ingenuity.
"This great state institution was
made possible through the work OF
Mrs. Isabel Higbee, who dropped
dead at the close Of her speech to the

WORDS By MRS. Gait

:
ssLet us make it as fashionable to
obey the law as it now seems to be
to break it," says Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait.
Mrs. Gait has here hit upon the
cause of much of the law violation of
today-the delusion under which some
people suffer, that it's the smart thing
to break the law; it's the thing to do
to show independence of character.
This and humanity's long-recognized
inclination to do that which it is told
not to do are in large part respon-
sible for much of the crime with
which the land today is cursed grow
ing out of the liquor traffic. Millions
of people are defying the law today to
get liquor and keep it and pass it out
to their friends and their friends are
drinking it, not because there is any
real appetite upon the part of any of
them for liquor, but because they be-
lieve it's the swagger thing to do.
Mrs. Cats proffered remedy for
the present liquor evil and the calm,
considerable way in which she presents
the case for temperance appeals to Us
when she says:
II do not move in circle where
liquors are ever served or mention.

would not know to what extent some
certain people break the law. / be-
