INJUSTICE BREEDS CRIME.
How an Innocent Boy Was Started
in Career bf Crime by Unjust

Some OF the humanely inclined in
New Jersey have been trying to get
a law through the present session Of
the legislature which will enable
each community to tax itself. if it so
elects, for the erection of building
quite separate from the jail in which
witnesses held by the state because
they have no bail shall be confined,
without coming in contact with pris-
oners or bearing the odium OF hay-
ing been in Jail.
Sheriff Frank H. Somer Of Essex
county, whose enforcement of the
BISHOPS law has made the county OF
Newark and all the Oranges one of
the dryest spots on earth on Sunday,
is one of those who is working for
this measure, says the New York
Press. He tells this little, story in
support of his position:
Here is prisoners dock, reach
ed by the three marble steps, and be-
hind it bronze door which leads in
to the prisoners detention room
Facing the, judge is an audience of
men, women and children.As you
scan their faces you can see that they

relatives of prisoners and the judge
is about to pronounce sentence on
their husbands, fathers, sons or
brothers. A man comes through the
bronze door. He keeps his face avert
ed and his eyes are f1xed upon the
judge The Judge pronounces upon
him a sentence of penal servitude;
a just sentence. The man turns and
goes out. And at that moment q
scream arises from the audience
Who Is 1t thus disturbing the dignity
of the court? Only a gray-haired old
woman; the prisoners mother. she
and he have finally come to the part
ng of the ways. She will return to
desolate home and he will go for
term OF years in states prison.
Now, the old fashioned way was
to lay all the blame on the man and
tell how he has brought his mothers
gray hairs in sorrow to the grave.
That is partly true. no doubt, IN
every case But / happened to know
that mans whole story. | locked 1t
up and am acquainted with the facts.
He was born in congested portion
OF the city of Newark, a portion
where every inch of space was COW
cred by tenement houses. The boy
went to school. The school was the
only thing that society provided for
him; the only elevated improving
institution which 1t sent into his
neighborhood 1t so happened that
the school was right beside the tene-
ment house where he lived. Around
that school was good bit of ground;
the only unoccupied space in that
neighborhood. At 3 o'clock every
afternoon a paddock was put on the
gate till 8 in the morning. During
these hours 1t lay there, waste
ground. What sort OF playground
did the boy get? The most vicious
one that can be offered any boy IN
the world, the street of congested
district in a cosmopolitan city.

The boy belonged to a gang in
his neighborhood-a perfectly in
nocent gang When he reached work
ing age he found employment. Along
about this time his gang found its
way through the baiZe-covered doors
of the saloon and. began to play
games there; games perfectly inno-
cent in themselves and only danger
Gus because of the environment.
Why should not the boy 90 to the sa-
loon? 1t was licensed by the state.
These boys made their own recre-

neighborhood except certain thea

lone night there was row in that
saloon and a man was injured.
Everybody ran except the injured
man, who lay on the floor, and this
boy who, confident in his own inno-
cence, stayed to help the wounded
man. The police arrived and the boy
was taken into custody as witness
for the state. He was taken through
the public streets In custody of the
police in such maner that anybody
might suppose he had been arrested
for crime; In itself an offense by the
state against citizen. He was
thrown into a police prison cell for
the night. The next morning he, with
the man who had committed the as
sault, who had been apprehended
during the night. appeared before
the magistrate. The accused man had
friends with property. who bailed
him out, and he went OF about his
business. the boy, who had commit

property and he was remanded to
the witness detention room.
That is little room in which

Then, for some reason, the charge
fell through and the accused man
was discharged. He had not a day s

Why can't they let me out on pro-
baton and let me work it out?' said
he.
'He hit the nail on the head.
Fines and Imprisonment never
should be alternatives for the same
offense. They are not in the same
category. 1t is not the same punish
ment for man to pay fine and go
to prison. 1t places no stigma on him
to pay fine; it does not take him
away from his business or employ
ment or lose him his job. There are
some offenses for which man
should not be allowed to buy him
self off. Let every man who commits
them go to Jail. There are others for
which society is sufficiently eompen-
stated and the man sufficiently pun
ished by fine. Let the man who has
the money pay this and let the one
who has not go out under a proba-
ton officer and pay it from his wag-
es, knowing that the eye of the law
is on him and he can be clapped into
Jail any minute he tries any funny

didn't understand. The prison stig-
ma was on him, and, moreover, the
boy was feeling ugly and defiant.
His mother had been short Of funds
while he was away-he was her only
support-and there were hard times
in the home. He got little temporary
Jobs, first at one thing and then at
another. His mother fell i'll when he
was out of work and out of money.
He stole to supply her with comforts.
1t was a small theft and he got
short sentence. 1t scared him. He
came out of jail determined to
straighten up and get a job and at
tend to business. He did it. He got
good Job, did we'll in 1t and life be-
gan to look bright once more.
zone day he met the policeman
who had arrested him for the theft
on the street. They engaged in what
he supposed was a friendly CONVEX
sation. The officer asked him how he
was getting along. The young man
said he was getting on first rate, told
him where he was working how
much he was getting and all about
it. The next morning when he went
back to work he was handed an en-
velope with his wages and discharge
in It. The boss told him he was not
discharged for having been in JAIL
but for deceit, because he had not
told he had been in Jail when he got
the job. Now, l don't accuse that Of

ployer and losing that man his job.

After that the young man de-
termined that he would etell the
whole story every time he asked for
job. But he never once got a
chance to tell it. The minute he said
he was former convict he was
ordered Quilt was absolutely impos-
sible to get job on that plan. And
finally he got ugly as well as penni-
less and began the career which

DO GOOD FOR POOR
PRussIAN GOVERNMENTS CHAR
ITY BUREAU IN BERLIN.
Officers for This Department Chosen
with Great care-Are to Work
for the Improvement of
Social Conditions

A national charity bureau exists in
Prussia, controlled by the premier. The
idea was carried out in concrete form
by the provisions of law passed by
the Landtag in April, 1905. Its duties
are as follows:
First, to follow the development Of
charity work and keep the government
informed of this development; second
to advise the state OF conditions which
Justify change in existing laws or the
passing of new laws, or which sug-
gest change in government methods;
third, to draw up opinions and make
proposals which will help in framing
laws for the benefit of the people;
fourth, to take general control of re-
lief stations in case of great calami
ties. 1t will also be the duty of the
department, first, to establish relations
between different charity organiza-
tions, suggest improvements in the
methods of these organizations and
economize the forces of the various
bodies; second, to follow the progress
of charitable work and make an index
and collection of all literature relating
to the subject; third, to give informa.
tion and advice in reference to philan-
thropic endeavor when requested to do
so; fourth, to make reports to the
state at short intervals in reference to
the development and progress of the
work in the nation at large; fifth, to
draw up opinions and / Jake proposals
for the improvement or better organi-
cation of the charity propaganda in
part or as a whole; sixth, to take
charge of the development of the work
in any section seventh, to assist in
putting in operation any suggestions
or plans which may be made or
worked out for the improvement of
social conditions.
The bureau is large one and the
officers are chosen with a care justi-
fed by its Importance. The main
body consists of general assembly,
which is composed of members of the
liberal professions, public bodies and
individuals and societies engaged in
charitable work. The second division
is known as the advisory committee
and is composed of 4S members. OF
these 80 are elected by the directors
and Is are chosen by the state Final
ly, the directors form a group of "a

of Importance north of Paris, and as
for the petit vim now made at
Suresnes, it has become the drink only
of the poorer classes.
In the middle of the sixteenth cen.
tury Macon was celebrated for its
muscated wines, whereas the muscatel
grape at this moment can scarcely be
made to thrive there. Ancient chron.

even apples are not plentiful. Again,
1t is to be remarked that trees which

Languedoc no longer grows the

Rousillon. The Lombardy poplar, SO
familiar and picturesque in old French

which, putting statistics out of the
question, serve to illustrate the

HOW TO CURE YOURSELF OF

An alcoholic addict, actuated by

sistently as he is falling asleep In

hopeless dishonesty. mania for
swindling and gambling all yield to
suggestional treatment.
Every mother in the land can make
her children what she wishes them to
be, provided she is a woman of high
moral principle, gentle and patient,
apprehensive of the power of trans
liminal appeal, possessed of courage
to apply 1t with intelligent persistence,
and having ardent faith in its effective
ness"
Asked to state the care of auto-sug-
ton and the process by which per-
son applies it to himself, DR.. Quack-
enbos said:
"The transliminal self of an individ-
ual is as amenable to suggestion by
his own objective mind as by the OBJ
jective mind of an outside person.
Self-treatment of this kind, or auto
suggestion, is open to all who would
ennoble their lives by cultivating a
closer relationship between the supra.
liminal and the transliminal nature.
"The state of mental abstraction
called :reverie,' Immediately preced
ing natural sleep, is most appropriate
for self-suggestion. AS one is about
yielding to slumber for the night, let
him say to himself, for instance, that
he will no longer be slave of the
imperative conception or the evil habit
that is crippling his best expression
that he will develop talent along speci
fled lines-that he will draw spontane-
ously upon the resources treasured in
his higher being for creative work in
the normal sphere.
Prerequisite Of Success.
Lapse into sleep with the trans
liminal thus invoked, to employ itself
as instructed, is all but equivalent to
suggestion given by another. The pre-
requisite of success is earnest, intelli.
gent, persistent application of the self
given suggestions.
1T is in accordance with psycholog
ical law. now well tested and proved
that If the active Intervention of ones
own richly endowed spirit be honestly
and earnestly invoked. adequate pow
