QUAKERs AGAINST BOY SCOUTS.

Quakers have joined in formal protest the promoters of the
Boy Scout movement and the American public against the NIL
iary character of the efforts for boys
They declare that such phases the movement quite
necessary and contrary to the general spirit of the time both
in America and in England where not preparations
In their protest the Quakers says boys be brought next
to nature in outdoor @ without the military feature that they
can be trained for citizenship without it, and that the scout idea
passed when American Indians took up land in everalty
They say Boy Scout promoters way behind the times.
Instead of the military they suggest after the recreatve
features attended to- industrial plants in cities villages
managed by boys under the advice of older persons where
ey be earned for worthwhile work. and industrial exhib
tons and competitions to be held annually.
With other features, such utaran feature covers all ad-
avntages offered by the present scout plans much MORE
say these Friends.
In the protest the good of the Boy Scout idea is commended
the feature condemned
The Quakers ought to little slow and be reasonable and
not talk about teaching our boys useful industry
If we cannot get up something new like the Boy Scouts some
of us will have to go to work for living.
But why interfere with the noble idea of organizing Boy
Scouts and Girl Scouts?
The organizers must have something to do and there are
plenty of dlers to keep busy with them afterwards.

TO EMPLOY

GOVERNOR AND BOARD OF PAR
DONs TRYING TO PERFECT A
PLAN FOR GIVING PAROLED
PRISONERS A CHANCE TO
MAKE GOOD.

With the view Of preventing pa
rolled prisoners from focking to
Portland, and there, by reason Of
associating together, and the infu-
ence the one may have upon the 9TH
er to return to the old life, Governor
West is considering ways and means
whereby the situation may be RENE
died, and when the parole law goes
into effect, and the parole board
holds its first meeting, he will no
doubt be able to present some plan
to it in relation to the subject.
The parole law makes it compul-
sorry upon judges to impose indeter-
inmate sentence and it applies to
! prisoners now serving such SEN
tence in the state prison, as we'll as
to persons who may be sentenced af-
ter the law goes into effect. There
are large number of prisoners serv-
ing indeterminate sentences at the
state prison who ara subject to pa
role, and the board when it meets
will probably find itself confronted
with the proposition Of having to pa
role one prisoner after another. 1t is
feared by the governor that should
these flock to Portland, and be COM
PEELED to search for employment that
inability to find it might discourage
them, and that, being associated to-
gether, it would be easy to return to
the old life.
To Try and Locate Them.
In a general way the governors
idea Is to have the board adopt a
plan whereby the paroled prisoners
may be located in sections through
out the state and employment found
for them. In Eastern Oregon there
is a demand for men on the farms,
the ranges and fruit ranches, and
the same can be said of Southern
Oregon. When attorneys appear
asking for the parole of prisoners it
Is proposed to make it a condition
that, if paroled, they must find en-
ployment for them. 1t is also ex-
pected that the various organizations
throughout the state can be pre-
vailed upon to cooperate and assist,
and in this and other ways, it is
hoped to prevent most of those pa
rolled from drifting back to the old
life and the state prison.

Coach Nielsen to make a move that was
