Incon gruoua aa a free press may appear aa part of a penal system, tbe tact remains that in Its operation and Influ ince the Star of Hope haa become more Important as a reformatory Influence than tha schools and chapel exercises, and the management ot the state prisons In New York regard the paper aa a fixture In their system of discipline and reform whose value cannot be overestimated. Although the paper ia printed by men In penal servitude. It Is nevertheless distinctively a member ot the boasted free press. It la absolutely under no restraint except tha sense of right and decency which Its editors may entertain, and aa these men are chosen for their capacity, good conduct and. Intellectual superiority, they have fulfilled the expectation of the superintendent of prisons and brought forth a paper of reasonable conservatism which teaches good morals, clean speech, truthfulness, tha common sense view of prison discipline and the value of making a strong effort to reform if possible and at any rate the importance of keeping out of prison after discharge. Naturally a good deal of hypocrisy creeps Into the contributed columns without any editorial demur because the paper alma to be representative ot convict thought and aspirations, and to bar tha Pharisee ta to suppress one of the moat assertive tendencies in prison life. But no hypocrisy nor pretense finds expression on its editorial page, and as the prison authorities never find criticism ot their official acta, which ot course would 'not he permitted, they look as vainly for aay kind of commendation or praise. Not that subjects of the most serious Importance touching prison administration are not dealt with by the writers In all departments. For exam- - esentatlve of the average mentality tbe prison. But pride in its better qualities worked out the selection of the fittest at tbe end, and we put our best foot forward every time at the expense of our creed. As a result the Star of Hope is Indicative of the best mentality of tfte prison population. Contributors were abundant They wrote on every subject under the son. As the convicts are, in fact a microcosm of tbe whole life of a highly civilized community numbering nearly 8,000,000 souls, and include men and women of every profession and trade from nearly every country and clime, this was to be expected.
