me states wards are also given the
influence of religion, services for diff
forent denominations being held regu-
larly. The inmates cannot be com
PEELED to attend the services, however
and to try to compel them would be
a mistake, Mr.. Vasaly believed.
Another person asked if anything is
done for persons after they are let
out of the reformatory. Mr.. Vasaly
stated that rule of the board is to
get work for the inmates before they
are released and the state has three
agents for this purpose. The board
Of parole does not claim great results
from the discharged inmates but saws
that perhaps one-half of them con.
tinue to do we'll. Mr.. Vasaly stated
that the claim Of an eastern state that
977@ per cent of its discharged pris-
oners succeed is absurd.
Forgery, Mr.. Vasaly stated, is a
crime that is repeated more than any
other. There are two classes, the wet
and the dry forgers. The latter is
much more dangerous and is usually
the bigger forger. On the average
forgeries are very clumsy.
Mr.. Vasaly was asked by one per-
son if there is any general rule for
the great prevalence of insanity in
this state. He stated that apparently
most of it is caused by worry over
ones troubles, and by isolation, es-
pecially on the farm, although the lat
ter cause is not SO general now as in
former years, before the day of the
rural telephone, etc. The large cities
furnish the largest percentage Of the
inmates of all institutions.

Somebody has fooled Germany
with regard to the prevailing wAr.ac-
cording to the Berlin Tag. one Of the
conservative newspapers Of the kais-

I'VE have been deceived In all our
calculations. We expected that the
whole of India would revolt at the

An Improved Silver Market.

There are two reasons advanced by
financial experts for the improvement
la the silver market One is the rise
in London due to conditions In China,
and the other is the withdrawal Of
gold from circulation in Europe. Ev-
cry national treasury is calling in ev-
cry ounce of gold that can be secured
and the people are given paper almost
exclusively. The peasants are not US
ed to paper. and in order to accomo-
date them the various governments
are buying silver in large quantities
and minting it.
This latter demand is expected to
lift silver to figure not heretofore
reached in recent years.
tall seems 70 be in line with the
trend Of things financial. Gold is going
into hiding, to be used as y slender
basis for mountain Of credit curren-
ey. The people, however, will not re-
main satisfied with paper always,
hence silver is to come into her own.
Colorado will soon feel the effect OF
this improvement in conditions, as il
has already received SO much benefit
since lead, zinc and copper began NOV
