CHURCH MEMBERS IN JAIL


We are unable 10 see how any SEN
sible and sincere church member can
find any offence in the statement
made by the secretary Of the State
Social Service Conference before the
committee on prison conditions lately
in session at Greensboro. That state
raent was that of the number OF ae-
tual prisoners interviewed b. the
speaker fifty per cent claimed TO be
church members. He did net even say
tha, he had investigated ;heir state
ments and found them true. or that
he believed them to be true. He was
merely quoting their statements on
this point as on other subjects where
in he was not making a statement Of
fact of his own knowledge. Even had
he known the statements to be not
true. the mere fact that they were
made would have bearing upon the
situation as showing something of
the character of the men in Jail.
While we do not remember that
the statement made any distinction
between white and black prisoners,
i is fact Of common knowledge
that we have more eolored than white
prisoners and that colored people are
rather fond Of joining the church,
Th.a, whether ..1l;y were members or
lot. many Of these prisoners may
have the idea that to claim church
membership would in some way be
Of value to them in their
present needs. The cloak Of church
membership is sought by men in both
high and low station for purposes Of
their own. The probability IS that
about fifty per cent Of these prison
ers are church members, as II is
probable that there are great many
church members who are not in jail
but who would be there if they had
their deserts.
By granting all this, what does it
amount to? Nothing except church
members are weak human beings,
subject to all the frailties and short
comings of non church members. In
deed, it is often said by jealous
churchmen that it is not always easy
10 distinguish from the daily talk
and conversation who are and who
are not church members. The church
as rule takes in all who apply and
it is not surprising that both weak
lings and hypocrites should apply.
The man who expects to see the
church membership composed Of
saints, or even wholly of religious
The Monroe journal., 1922-12-12

people, is doomed 70 disappointment.
And the man VINO tries to make cap
ital against the church CIR the ground
that its membership is not all per-
feet IS usually a man who lacks per-
spective and understanding, to say
the least.
Suppose the poor devils who are
in jail are church members. What is
that against either them or the
church. >. Is il no: rather a challenge
to the church members who are not
in jail to try 10 find out some of the
difficulties and weaknesses through
which they landed in jail This Is
the only importan; phase Of the mat
ter. This, if anywhere. is the place
where the church is TO blame in the
premises. The Journal contends that
he organized churches have not east
the influence ;ha; they should have
against unwh0,esome prison cpad
tions. While nearly every indivicaa.
who has taken an interest in this
matter harpens to be church mem
Der. the churches as such, have
shown insufficient interest.
Yet clearly, the churches are the
organizations which should most IN.
derstand something of why people are
in jail. II il is not the business of the
church to take heed of the Masters
sayings, Il was in prison and We Wis
tied me not" whose business is it?
And this saying means in modern life
not necessarily the literal visiting of
man who is in jail, but the exeItion
Of an influence ID see that Jail condi
ions are Gale" lated 70 improve and
lot T. run one who falls into them.
And il means also trying to keep men
out Of Jail, not by seeking to help
them uniustly escape proper pun
ishmen. and discipline, but to make
il worthwhile, ard 10 divest it Of its
present character Of mere vindictive
punishment and dislike fer the man
who is weak enough to fall by the
way side. In short. i; is the business
of the church TO see that jails them
selves, so long as they are necessary,
shall be the expression of the Chris
tian spirit rather than survival Of
the past brutslities and injustices of
our system.
Only by doing this can the church
be true to itself.

"KENTUCKIANs" TONIGHT

The eternal clash between the mountaineers of Kentucky and the inhabitants, is thrashed out again in the Charles Maigne production of The Kentuckians," featuring Monte Blue, the attraction for the Coliseum Theatre tonight. The film was made from the popular novel by John Fox, Jr. and it retains the fine characterizations, the simple mountain atmosphere. the dramatic situations tha. abound in the book.
 Monte Blue is a heroic figure a Boone Stallard. the backbone of his clan. and the only man who could queu fueds between the different families. Stallard is sent to the Kentucky Legislature and early there he has a clash with Randolph Marshall of the Blue Grass coun- try who has his own ideas about the way to rule the mountaineers. In the end. however, Boone con- vinces Marshall that he can handle lis own people and that they can fight their own problems, thus mak ing for union of these two ele- ments of Kentucky civilization in common accord.
 Mr. Blues leading woman is Dia- na Allen. Others in the cast in clude. Frank Joyner, Wilfred Lytel and John Miltern.

RAINS CAUSE BIG
 LOSS TO FARMERS

VIENNA, DEC. 5.-Six weeks of steady rains, broken by but few dry days, have wrought great damage throughout Austria.
 The tower of the village church in Tauf Kirchen. Upper Austria, col apsed this week, killing two persons and injuring several others. Salz- burg Cathedral. containing the ia nous Rupert Chapel, is so damaged that public subscriptions have been opened for a repair fund. In Vien- na hundreds of buildings are re- ported as seriously damaged by the continued downpour. In this city construction almost universally is of brick faced with about an inch of plaster, ruled to initiate stone. Ev- anywhere this plaster covering Is peeling. exposing the brick, and if frost should come before the build ing get dry. very heavy damages are predicted. The situation is ag- gravated by the fact that there has been virtually no repair work done since the first year of the war.

raising in the Territory
 ''The commission as provided in the bill. will be made up of Alaskans and will be 9 strictly non-poitical body. l. Is quite obvious that any commission wholly subject to appoin- tmeEt or dismissal through any of flee which in itself Is filled by pol i.ical appointment will be unable to carry on any definite policy. Feder- al money to defray all expenses and a resident non-political game com mission to direct the work more nearly approaches the ideal.
 The proposed bill is a long step toward local control It provides that the commission shall apply the re- gulacions within seasonable limits as they may determine by climate and geographic conditions. The com mission will be made up of repres- entative citizens of the different dis tricts with due respect to wishes of the residents of those districts and of coure they will only establish seasons license fees and appoint as sistants after giving due considera- ton to the wishes of the residents of the regions affected.
 The residents of Ketchikan were pioneers in the matter of game con- servation in organizing the first Game Protective Association in Al aska. Their demands for corrective legislation with relation 10 game and fur bearing animals are practically all met in the pending bill. They have therefore acted consistently in endorsing i-. Other clubs and asso- citations organized subsequently, and upon the same principles can do no less.
 House Bill No. 12l43 does not represent the wishes of any one dis t;nct organization or individual but gives the opportunity to put into ef- feet regulations best suited for the whole Territory. It appears to be a truly Alaska Game Bill"

GAME CLUB AND IGEOO
 FAVOR NEW GAME BILL

The organizations at Ketchikan, the Alaska Game Protective Associ ation, and the Ketchikan Igloo of Pioneers. recently endorsed the Nei- son Game bill for Alaska. The game association declared the measure to be ...1e most constructive piece of legislation ever introduced in any legislation and propagation Of wild life. The Pioneers endorsed the measure but suggested number of amendments which they will sub init to every Igloo in the Territory.
 The game association issued a statement supporting the measure, which said:
 The Alaska Game Protective As socia-ion of KeJehiean. in Q prepared statement. gives its approval to the proposed game law for Alaska. The prepared statement is as follews:
 After carefully considering is provisions, the Alaska Game protec- tive Association of Ketchikan ex- pressed its approval of the Alaska game bill now pending in Congress.
 The Sitka club Is reported to have approved the bill but evid- ently they were misinformed with regard to it or failed to fully study its provisions for had they gone into the matter carefully they would have readily determined that the bill is without doub. the most compre- hensive and constructive piece of legislation ever introduced in any legislative body for the proper pro- lection and propagation of wild life. ''PeIaaps the bill does not give Alaska absolute control of her game and fur as We might wish but such ls neither necessary nor desirable in the present state Of development ani financial condition of the Territory . The Territory finds 1t difficult to f. nance the few administrative ex- 7enses 10 which it Is now obligated and there is even some talk Of aboi- ishing certain important territorial offices. Obviously. therefore. the Territory cannot finance the protec- ton Of her game and fur as provid- ed in the above mentioned law which would deyolve upon her if she were 70 be given control of these import ant resources. IL is expected that rhe federal government will find it necessary to make appropriation of S75,00O or 80,O00 10 carry out the provisions of the bill for the first year and q like sum. f not larger one. anually thereafter. It is need less 10 say that the financial condi- tion of the Territory absolutely pro- hibits. the appropriation of any sucn sum for this purpose either now or in the very near future. :.:.
 The bill provides for the consol- idation of the protective and admin istrative work under the biological survey. This organization is the only branch of t3e United States gov ernment experienced in sueh mat ters, Its employees are making life time studies of their respective lines and are authorities on their subjects The bill provides that the personnel of the commission which will direct the work, will be Alasl1ans, but ID the case of special assistance being needed the services of any of the biological survey specialists would be available. just as they have al ready been of assistance in building up the fur farming and reindeer
