 What about innocent children. seen with my own eyes, who were lost in some of our large cities. taken by great pig man with a club in his hand. a pair of pistols buckeled on, and covered with brass buttons, every one of which stands for something awful to childs mind, especially when arrested and these child ren, lost from home and parents, detain- ed with thieves, murderers, cut-throats, harlots and drunkards till their parents away out in the country could be found.
 What about incarcerating poor epileptc children-an innocent of crime as an an- gel-kept in such pandemonium on earth till the tardy authorities could decide whether or not the child should be sent to the state sanitarium?
 I repeat, by way of summing up the evidence on this point the state like the proud father and the cruel judge has deserted some of her most unfortunate children. The state, in the attempt to protect some children, has cursed them. The state, under the semblance of pun ishing her wayward sons and daughters and protecting society, has criminalized these children, and further endangered SOcietV

synonym of despotism. The mob stormed it during the French revolution, and by and by La Fayette took it and ordered it to be destroyed. A little later still he conceived high-born thought and pur- pose and wrote to General Washington in words about like these:
 My Dear General: Permit me to present you with a picture of the bastile, just as 1t appeared about three days after l or dered it's demolition, together with the main key to this fortress of despotism.
 T owe it as an adopted son to my father. as an aide-de-camp to my general and as a symbol of liberty to its patri- arch"
 I am here today to call upon you, in the name of our conquering Christ, to help storm and destroy another bastile, the whole cruel and accused system of dealing with prisoners, insofar as it violates the principles and practices of the Son of God, and especially that part of 1t that de- velops our wayward children into full aedged criminals.
 You will never find me throwing bou- quets at criminals, nor advocating a par Tor of delights and do-nothingness for them. But as sure as we are here, some thing is radically wrong with our whole penal system Punishment ought to be visited upon every transgressor in the home and n society; but that punish ment which is purely vfndlctive or mer- cenary, that punishment which Is not in loco parentis, that punishment which Is not born of wisdom and love, and which therefore, is not corrective, Is or nell.
 The quicker we realize 1t the better. Let's hang up another great old rusty key on some wall. containing the mem orials of the past. Let's destroy that prison system all over the south which trains our juvenile offenders into de- liant Iaw-breakers, and sometimes des- peradoes. Let's have the juvenile court and probation system which saves from 80 to g5 per cent of these delinquent children, wherever it is operated by those of head and heart.
 Then we call upon you to help in the erection of ten juvenile protectories for a thousand of these children, homes where they will be brought under strict discipline, but taught the principles of righteousness and the knowledge or trade-a home and school combined which will turn out its inmates to honor God and bless the world.

 Yale-Harvard Regatta.
 On Thursday the Yale Harvard regatta will be held for the 2Sth time on the Thames river at New London Conn, IS of late years. It will attract a great thrung of students, alumni and friends of the two universities more of them prob ably than. for several years past. The spectacular race between the varsity eights last year. the unbounded confidence of Harvard men to Coach Wray, and the prospects of a victory for the crimson have stimulated interest this year, and race-day scenes in the old shipping town are sure to be lively. In the twenty seven times the two universities have met, Yale has been triumphant eighteen and Harvard seven, the other two races, triangular ones, having gone 10 Cornell. Harvard has not won since 1899

Bel gium and Canada having been entered to compete with the crews of Oxford and Cambridge universities.
 In the Grand Challenge cup, the most important event of the regatta. the Argo- nauts of Toronto, Cana, are considered the most dangerous, but will have strong op- ponents in the third Trinity eight. and the Club Nautique de Grand crew of Belgium. The Leanders, winner of the cup twelve times since 1891, will not be entered this year, having been unable to get an eight strong enough to defendN the title.
 The United States has only one entry in the series, that of the Diamond scull, in which William B. West of the Undne Barge club of Philadelphia is entered. West however has been considerably handicapped by having to practice in a strange boat. His own shell was dam aged in transit to England, and probably will not be repaired in time for the race.

Why Crime Increases.

By the erroneous methods of the state and by the cruel neglect of the church, crime has multiplied all over the land.
 Did you know with the single exception of the crime of lynching-and God be thanked for this one exception-that there was an actual increase, according to re- liable statisticians, of every other crime in 1905 over 1904?
 And did you know that the United States stood out with the greatest num- Der of homicides of any nation on the globe, in proportion to population? Italy comes second, the United Kingdom third and Germany with the smallest per cent.

Amos r. Wells admits that his story Of a.

moral is that the poor deserve and would well
come as fine church accommodations as only

results in a tremendous social awakening.
The volume is a sermon preached in the
form OF fiction, and its lesson is well brought
out Mr. Wells having the good sense to recog-
nize that the experiment which he relates would
be only partly successful. even If 1t were
approximately possible. A love story, not very
expertly handled. running through the ecclesi-
astlcal incidents, gives the touch of romance

Threatened Expulsion of Rus.
sian Refugees from Germany

Berlin.-Ten thousand Russian Jews
from the capital and approximately
three thousand from the provinces, are
to be expelled. The decree, suspended
for time at the intercession Of inf1uen-
tial members of the community, but not
revoked, hangs with paralyzing effect
over the heads OF the unfortunate peo-
pie. What is to become of them? They
canot easily uproot themselves from the
place in which they have found tenn
porary shelter, they have not the means
to 60 further afeld, and return to Rus
sia is to them as a sentence of death.
Among the ten thousand who have
sought refuge in this country there is,
no doubt, the usual percentage of un-
desirable elements, but, on the whole,
they are law-abiding, industrious folk,
more likely to be Of service than to be-
come burden to the state. Humane
people must shrink from delivering con-
victed culprits even to the tender mer-
cies of Russian functionaries, but to
drive to death, in order to get rid of a
handful Of ineligibles, thousands of in
nocent persons is abhorrent to every
principle Of justice. In an interview
with Herr " Borries, the police presi-
dent Of Berlin, Herr M. A. Klausner
pleaded the cause Of his co-religionists
with such force and eloquence that that
high official felt constrained to promise
that he would do all in his power to
modify measure which, at best, must
entail such terrible misery. A gleam Of
hope; but much remains to be done to
avert disaster from an appreciable num-
ber of those who are threatened
