Reform Movement,

LONDON, March Tt is ated the
home office has initiated a criminal
movement in co-oneration
with the Salvation Army, ang to
give the worst criminals chances of
repentance.
The idea is based on the theory
that crime is a disease, that short
sentences and changed surroundings
are necessary to regeneration. The
Salvation Army declares it is willing
to take charge of all criminals the
government releases, regardless OF
character and offenses. 1t already has
taken charge of a released woman,
convicted of murder under the impulse
Of jealousy.

"The condition of affairs in China is

cause should appear insignificant and
danger not imminent. In case OF out

superior judge of King county in 1896
on the populist-democratic ticket. He
won much popularity among the work
ingmen by his decisions favorable to
labor interests In 1902 he was elected
to the state senate, being the only
democratic member of the legislature
from King county. In the senatorial
contest last winter he voted for Turner
and other democratic leaders until the
republican caucus had nominated Piles,
when he kept his pledge made before
his election to support a King county
candidate in the final vote.
Judge Moore was nominated for
mayor by a newly-formed municipal
ownership party and had the support
of practically all the democrats as well
as of thousands of republicans. The
Seattle Times supported him warmly
while the Post-Intelligencer gave only
nominal support to his opponent, Rip
linger. who has been repeatedly elected
city comptroller by large majorities.
