A BUSY MAN IS HE. Attorney General Simpson is a busy man. On May 27 last Viggo Peterson, a Soclalist, but otherwise respectable citizen, filed charges in St. Paul charging Sheriff Hazen with being a swindler, an incompetent offilcial and a generally undesirable citizen. The busy Mr. Simpson has been so rushed that he just hasn’t had time to write an opinion as to whether the petition is sufficient grounds for an investigation. A few days ago a petition similar to the one filled by Mr. Peterson was presented by Minneapolis ask- ing that certain county commis- sioners be removed. Did the busy Mr. Simpson put off action on that petition for six or seven weeks. He did not. The petition was granted and a speedy investigation ordered in Hen- nepin county, and good old Hen- nepin county has been known to give republican candidates for governor a substantial vote. You know we told you the other day that it is reported on good authority that Attormey General Simpson wears a miniature governor’s desk for a watch charm. So far as the busy, buzzy Mr. Simpson knows, . Beltrami county may be losing hundreds of dollars liant array of tear squeezing artists can dope up in a month. It is The Prison Mirror, published by the convicts at Stillwater. In the columns of this tragic pa- per, which nevertheless is a blessing to the inmates, you run across such things as this, contributed in this instance by a convict signing him- self, A. F. B.: “For the sake of those here who feel that they are forgotten and for those on the outside, who, from time to time read The Mirror, I quote some’ extracts from a letter received today. May each one who reads this let the words sink deep into ' their hearts and if there is any manhood left it will surely come to the top. The letter, in part, is as follows: “*You don’t know how sorry we all are that you did not get a parole. We all feel as sorry as you, especial- ly mamma and she just now said: Tell Albert to keep up and be brave a little longer, for it makes it harder for all of us to bear when he gets discouraged. You know it is not her fault that you are there. She feels the punishment of your wrongdo- ings as keenly as you. I am a moth- er, as you know and we migh as well be put behind prison bars with our boys when they are sent there. Our hearts are there suffering with you. Never think that we do not care for you, you are still our boy, flesh of our flesh, blood of our blood. When you suffer, we suffer with you, You are your own worst enemy, brother dear, for none of us would ever have the heart to send you where you are today.’ “Every one of those words cut like a knife and I am thankful that my hide was not too thick for the point to reach home. I am strong again; peace came with the letter the. Mothers and Sisters who for our sake and who for our sins are forced to serve. the sentence with us..” The love of mother and sister nev- er was more graphically illustrated than the letter from this woman to the loved one who, though he wears a convict’s garb, is still son and broth- er and who despite the fact he is branded a criminal has a man's heart.
