A PRISON FUND.

1t has come home to us with
great force the past week, the
real, vital and most urgent need
for what we will term a prison
fund.-" so that when the culprit
shall have served his term in
prison, for any crime committed,
and is again at liberty, the shack
les fallen off and he free to begin
a new life and an honest one, he
may find someone to give him a
little help, helping hand to en-
courage him to keep forevermore
in straight path.
1t is very hard, it is fearful
thing we can but fancy, this COM
ing out, after years, it often is, of
the life of captivity; it is almost
as terrible, indeed, as the going
in!
The man stands free, on the
road, we will say; he is told in the
early morning he can go, and
soon he hears the prison doors
shut and clang behind him. 1t is
common occurrence at the
prison for a mans time to be
up" and likely no one watches,
and few care, where he goes when
once out of sight. He wanders,
it may be, aimlessly into the town
where, when it is known that he
is released convict, no one cares
to house or entertain him.
He has no money, only a few
poor clothes, no home, no shelter,
no work, no chance to live or to
begin life anew, however much he
may desire, or however firmly he
may have resolved, to live an hon
est life, once again his own mas
ter.
1t seems to him, as he goes
from one place to another and
finds no cheering word, no help,
that every mans hand is against
him. But this is not so; it is only
that what is everyone's concern
is no ones concern. The crowd
on the street, what do they know
of him, the prisoner released that
morning, or the day before, or the
day or the week before that? In
the stores, on the wharf, what can
they know of that poor human
drifting by, downcast and down
hearted, desolate and forlorn?
Now, let us imagine one of the
good people that has talked to
The Honolulu times. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1902-1911, 1910-11-01

him all the Sundays, of all the
years of his prison life, that has
sung with him, prayed and read
to him, exhorting him and all his
prison companions to turn all
their thought toward the All-lov-
ing Father for guiding, protection
and help in all their future stay
on earth; that He can never for
sake them, or fail to come to their
assistance, if they are loyal and
true. Now, here is this man, also
testing all that teaching, and he
thinks over and over, ooh, if l
could but meet one of those men
today or one of those women,
and he or she would tell me what
to do, would give or lend me lit
tie money (and prisoners have
been known to return borrowed
money!, that l might go here or
there and get start, either in a
strange place or among good old
friends. Oh, if I only could"
We are telling conditions as
they really often exist here, at our
own Oahu prison, and we are
pleading for a prison fund, that
one be started, and any disposed
to give to this work, much or lit
tle-adding to the same at any
time. This fund could be kept in
the bank, any one of the banks,
on interest, perhaps, and one of
the regular visitors at the prison
(say Miss Yarrow) could take
charge of the same, and could
lend or give, as she faced the
need. Many a man would be
saved in this way from down
ward course, as we all must be-
lieve.
Gam I my brothers keeper?"
Yes, not only in prison, but when
he has paid, so far as he can, the
price of his misdoing.
1t will not take much, my dear
reader, TO start this fund, ana
shall we not have one?
1t is true that prisoners are
often helped, we must hope and
believe, helped in various ways
when a case is known but we all
know there is no way quite so
good way as a thoroughly sys-
tematic way, and always more
brought to pass in that way! If
there could be "a way" found to
shadow, so to speak, every man
when he first leaves the prison
premises, and while good resolu-
tons and aims are in his mind.
"Inasmuch as we have done it
unto one of the least"

A Praying Man.

When men begin their prayers with

Think Of man In his family, hurried

It Is going to be paid today, and he
feels buoyant, and he goes down on
his knees like cricket on the hearth
and piles up these majestically NOV

on to say that he Is II sinner; he is
proud to say that he is a sinner. Then
he asks for his daily bread. He has
It, and he can always ask for It when
he has it. Then he jumps UP and goes
over to the city. He comes back at

he is called "a praying man." A pray

COPPER CURTAILMENT
Production Will Be Reduced
About Is Per Cent

According to New York advices,
copper curtailment began Monday,
August 1st. The curtailment will
be between 10 and Is per cent. and
will cover about rs per cent. of the
country's production. Phelps, Dodge
& Co. and Calumet & Hecla will not
curtail beyond the present rate,
but both these interests have been
curtailing about 10 per cent. for
three months, independent of other
interests.
This curtailment should bring
production well under the consump.
tion demands of the country and as
it progresses should prove beneficial
to copper prices and incidentally to
copper shares.

Curious to state, prejudice keeps

lack of opportunity.
We often pass by an article of merit
because the price is low. The same
article at double the price would find
