The late Chief Justice Chase once
startled his hearers by saying: 1.-The
wicked men are not in the penitentiary,
they are in the churches. The criminals
we convict are not wicked, they are
simply weak-weak in character and
weak in intellect. The men from whom
society suffers, are the cold, selfish, cal

clear of the courts, but seek the church

An Associated Press dispatch is go
ing the rounds of the press to the effect
that on January End, forty Indians,
nearly all -blooded, became residents
of the Kings county, New York, pen-
Tertiary, to remain for periods of from
five to twenty years. Their home is in
the Indian Territory. They belong to
many tribes, but the most dangerous
among them are members of the Nava-
10 and Blackfoot tribes. They were
convicted at Paris, Texas, Of various
crimes, principally horse stealing. This
report, however, will bear investigation
The idea of horse thief ever getting
out of Texas unhung, is contrary to
precedent and entirely beyond all hui

suit of clothes and few dollars in his
pocket. How many graduates of Har
ward University sent out in such
fashion, with all the advantages of
reputation. ability and character which
Harvard can give, if compelled at once
to maintain themselves, without friends
of whom they could borrow-how many
Harvard graduates could get through
the next two years after graduation,
without being compelled to beg or steal?
What, then, can you expect of the sud
denly discharged prison convict, with
the firmest of good resolutions, as many
at that moment have, but intoxicated
with the sense of freedom, with friends
indeed, but only such as beckon him to
haunts of vice and criminal ways of
earning living, with none others of
whom he can borrow, and with no sat
isfactory references to previous en-
ployers? Is it exaggeration to say that
the definite sentence, in most cases, COM
pells the discharged convict to commit
new crimes before he can earn an hon
est living? Borrow he cannot. If he
begs, he is criminal vagrant. If he
steals he must be very careful; for he
will be the first suspected.
with such manner of discharging
the convict, the wisest prison treatment
; is liable to be largely thrown away. It
is good while the prisoner is in prison,
but must inevitably fail in the large
majority of cases to carry him over that
critical period during which he is to re-
establish, or for the first time establish
habits of honest living and new record

The San Francisco Argonaut very
truly says: "The Salvation Army IS
gradually winning the respect OF the
community. Its methods are certainly
peculiar. 1t is not admirable, in our
opinion, that religious worship should
be accompanied by discordant singing,
cracked tambourines and dropsical
bass drums. But, while we do not ad-
mire some of the methods of the Saliva
ton Army, we cannot help but admire
the results. This body of women and
men seems to be earnest and honest,
and unselfshly engaged in the doing OF
good. One whom all revere, whether
Christian or Gentle, Buddhist or Mo

plished by the Salvation Army in the

far more fruitful than that which is
