Each Of you who leaves has his des-
tiny in his own hands" said Mrs Bal
lington Booth to the inmates of Hope
Hall, the shelter for discharged prison
ers which she has established in Chi
cago and largely supports. I'VE can
shelter you for space" she continued;
I'VE can find work for you where You
will be received for what You are and
not for what you have been; we can
help you somewhat to be true men, but
the most Of 1t you must do for your
selves" This utterance IS particularly
commendable because It looks the facts
squarely in the face and shows no tine
ture Of the delusion, lately 30 fashion
able among half-baled ''socioioglsts,"
that the criminal Is almost wholly the
product Of "environment" and should
not be held really responsible-that 80
ciety" and not the criminal is really
guilty Of the crime. The nonsense Of
this argument appears the moment we
consider what is the real motive Of the
most common crime, that Of theft. In
the overwhelming majority Of cases any
real investigation conclusively demon
strates that the thief was not compel
led to steal or starve"-to borrow the
canting ALTERATION 10 often used-nor
did he begin stealing because that was
the universal habit about him. On the
contrary, in the overwhelming majority
Of such cases any real investigation
conclusively demonstrates that the
thief began to steal because he had
taken counsel of his laziness and had
come to the false conclusion that 1t was
easier to live by stealing than by work
ing, and had been confirmed in that
falsehood by the success Of his first
predatory enterprises. What fills our
penitentiaries is not poverty, but lazi-
ness-coupled, Of course, with lack Of
real intelligence, but primarily laziuess.
Nor does Mrs. Booth suggest that be-
cause criminal has served his SEN
tence and thus, as ia sometimes said,
paid his debt to society,"" therefore So
ciety should forget out Of hand that he
ever was a debtor. That his offense
should be remembered Is as much a
part Of the criminals punishment as
that inflicted by the law. 1t Is a neces-
sary part, for men have learned by mil
lenniums Of experience that they can
not for their own safety afford to for
get who were debtors merely because
debt has been paid. There Is a diff
ference between forgiving and forget
ting. We can safely forgive what we
cannot safely forget We are admon-
ished to pray forgive our debts as we
forgive our debtors" but with all his
infinite charity Jesus of Nazareth did
not urge praying for forgetfulness Of
offenses. The repentant criminal readl-
ly receives forgiveness, but he must
earn forgetfulness by proving himself,
by his conduct, worthy Of 1t. He can
earn forgetfulness, but no one can give
1t to him. He must earn it for himself.

SHOW
TO BE OPENED MON-
 DAY AFTERNOON.
New Amusement House Is Completed
 And Will Re Opened With High r Class Vaudeville And Moy- @ ing Pictures.

The new Ma,estice Theatre, on Com merce street, below the New Ex- change Hotel, will be thrown open to the public Monday afternoon, and will inaugurate in Montgomery an up-to- date advanced vaudeville at popular prices.
 The Majestic has been in the course of construction for some time, the store. formerly occupied by Hudson and Thompson having been trans- formed into an up-to-date vaudeville and moving picture theatre. The name of the house is derived from the cir cult with which the booking for the vaudeville attractions are placed, the Majestic circuit, with headquarters in Chicago.
 The theatre was completed last night, with the exception of few minor de- tails that will be completed tomorrow morning. The formal opening will take place at 4 o'clock Monday after noon, at which time the first vaude- viIle performance will be put on.
 The promoters of the new theatre are Messrs, R. J. Chambers. G. A. Mont gomery and B. B. Day. They have spared no expense to make the place attractive and comfortable. The house Is well ventilated, the most modern heating apparatus has been installed and comfortable theatre chairs secured. The seating capacity of the house is about 500.
 The opening of this theatre will fill a long felt want in Montgomery. It is the plan of the management to put oh three performance each day, in addition to the continuous moving picture shows. e
 The first of these vaudeville perform ances will take place each afternoon at o'clock, and will be known as family matinees. The second perform ance will commence att IS o'clock, and the third st g o'clock. Each of the per- formances will conclude with a nov ing picture show.
 In the front portion of the building will be the handsofnest penny arcade in the South. This will be brilliantly il- luminated, and the latest and most sat- isfactory machines will be installed. Directly back of the penny arcade will be the theatre, where the vaudeville performances and the moving picture shows will be given.
 It is the intention of the manage ment to give the highest class enter tainment in moving pictures that mon 'ey can procure. The films for the pie lures will be ordered direct from New York, and will be changed daily. New films will arrive every day, and patrons can soon determine the excellency of the class of pictures the excellency of
