II Remarkable WOrE.

THERE are few women in this country today who
are more prominent before the public than Mrs.
Maud Ballington Booth, one of the leaders OF the
Volunteers of America, whose principal object is
mnstering to the needs of those who struggling
against poverty and sickness. Almost every impor-
tant city has branch of this organization and it is
difficult to estimate the relative amount of good
these agencies accomplish each year Nevertheless,
thousands have been assisted to begin life anew when
assistance was sorely needed.
Perhaps Mrs. Booth is known nowhere in the
world or thought of often than in the prisons
of this country To the prisoner she is almost looked
upon deity. Only the other day thepress lauded
this noble woman for procuring pardon for man
who had spent twenty-five years in prison. Theman
had friends money, and as far as the world was
concerned he was dead. Thanks to this womans
largeness of heart he will be able to spend his
few remaining years at liberty. Mrs. Booth does
not make it practice of suing for pardons; it is in
minstering to the prisoners family and helping him
to find employment leaving prison, that has
lastingly gained for her the respect of even the
worst scofers among prisoners.
The number of ex- prisoners she has assisted in
finding employment for, is large; and they have
cause to bless the woman who contributed so much
to their welfare. good many persons wonder how
this refined woman can associate herself to such a
calling. What seems repugnant to them is a halo
of glory to such exalted personages as Mrs. Booth
Perhaps she finds happiness in doing good than
others do in attending teas, etc.

WUtchiNS Policemen

W'Gtchi7aS Policemen.
AT THE present time New York City is having
considerable difficulty with the police force There
are several bills before the legislature that vitality ef
feet the Forces and in order to defeat these measures
the police force has assessed each member twenty
dollars ostensbly to be used in lobbying against
form. Being aware of the Vaccinations carried on
by his subordinates, Commissioner Bingham hired
secret agents to watch the refractory policemen.
This is of the srangest spectacles that has
to light for many year. The police were not aware
that their movements closely watched by secret
agents, and they are now beginning to be somewhat
fearful of the outcome.
When Josiah Flynt was making his tour among
the powers that prey, he found New York Cityto be
one of the worst mismanaged cities in the country
Expert crooks working under police protection
and gambling, poolrooms and every known vice were
running without fear of arrest. Today similar
ditions are to be found recently demonstrated
by one of the magistrates who went midnight
tour Of inspection. It is impossible to keep New
York City fairly decent for any length Of time. To
continually hire secret agents to watch the enterpris
ing cops is too expensive to last. After this spasm
is past things will drift back into their former chan
nels: but the police will be cautious as to whom
they give information.
No doubt good many people in New York City
are wondering whom to trust if even the guardians
Of the peace are corrupt Perhaps if few fearless
men were at the head of the department. they could
impart wholesome lesson all along the line.

Fictitious Stories.

Fictitious Stories.
BEFORE Victor Hugo wrote that great novel,
Lies Miserables," the world had heard little about
the OK prisoners and in all probability it cared less
To be an ex-galley slave at that time almost
intolerable being galley slave. Recognizing the
many evils which the exgalley slave subjected to-
Victor Hugo attempted to ameiorate these condi
TONS Since Lies Miserables" was published few
authors have attempted the same theme. Where one
has treated the facts from a purely disinterested
point of view, hundred have pictured the prison
er IN the most hideous role the mind could con-
ceive If an author desired vicious villain, an
prisoner was selected. To many this was tangible
evidence of the total moral turpitude of the alleged
villain.
While these authors of sensationalism have sue
ceeded in holding the readers attention and produc
ing as many thrills as possible in each chapter, they
also have done much to unquinchable loath-
ing to exist against prisoners While it must be
admitted that this sort of character portrayng has
much to do with prejudicing public opinion, it also
is true that these stories Imagination. STILL
the cheap brand of PHILOSOPHY" which is contained
in these vicious stories misead thousands ofpersons
They suppose these stories to be true and that the
low browed villains were taken from real life. How
absurd!
It is too bad that the literary world possesses
few men of Victor Hugos stamp. The ex-prisoner
is bad enough we will admit They are not all Jean
Valjeans by any MEANS still they not all to be
classified according to the novests viewpoint. How
ever, if it was not for the ex-prsoner the average
novel writer would be sorey at loss for desper-
ado; and without him az villain, their means of
gaining an easy living would be gone.

0Nz Of the founders Of the international Peace
soeety recently stated in emphatic terms that dis
armament would not be seriously considered at the
forthcoming Hague conference for the simple treason
that diplomats are opposed against il. He thinks
these do not wish for peace because there would
be no further need for diplomacy when peace is an
established fact. This proposition does not TO
be founded upon fact If the gentleman had stated
that the manufacturers of munitions of war were
rayed against this measure, it would appear credit
able.
In the event Of peace, diplomacy will not be ,af.
fected In fact there will be greater need for
diplomacy than ever before; diplomats who are high
minded conscientious and who possess the essential
qualifications necessary to maintain that peace.
Upon the shoulders of the diplomats who conduct
the international correspondence between nations
must of necessity rest the future peace Of the world
They would be the first to welcome movement toward
disarmament because there then would be less like
ihood of dismissal because Of plungng their country
into war. Indeed when the nations conclude to set
tie their differences by peaceful means, diplomacy
will be in the limeght more than it was in the
past. Its calling will be exalted, not curtaiied
