Officials do Not Know now and Peo ple do Not Know Conditions. Boston. Mass., June 7. A complete revolution In the treatment of mis demeanants and petty offenders thro ughout the United States was propos ed by Dr. Ferderlck Howard Winea, Statistician of the Board of Adminis tration of State Institutions of Illinois at the opening session of the National Conference of Charatles and Correc tion here tonight. Dr. Wines characterized the aver age county or municipal jail in this country as a school for crime, a cess pool of moral contagion, a propogat lnfs house df criminality, a public nuisance and a disgrace to modern civilization. The public indifference to the "situation he partly attributed to ignorance. "The county officials" he said, "do not know what a Jail Is supposed to be and the people do not know what their Jails really are. In plain Anglo-Saxon, the truth, is that wherever there exists local graft and political dishonesty the countv prison is its center and its stronghold. The sheriff or the Jailer makes a personal profit from crime by charging per diem for board for prisoners and by the receipt of fees for ' locking and unlocking the Jail doors. The profits are a live wire. No. local politician, possibly no member of the legislature or even of tha state administration dares monkey with It. "We have substantially won the fight for the reformatory stats prison and the Intermediate sentence becau3 we concentrated our .fire upon a vul nerable point and? made every shot tell. In attacking the county jail system we have pursued the opposite policy. We have addressed our ar guments and remonstrances to the county officials, of whom there are in Tound numbers 2500 sets, instead of to the legislative bodies, of which there are less than .50 We have pleaded fer new jails, better jails, when we should have demanded their replacement by prisons owned and controlled by the state and their eman cipation from political control with Its petty and selfish interests. "There was a time when local con trol was necessary and proper, but that was long ago. Today the county prison is an anachronism. We im ported It with other Institutions from England, but conservative England has outgrown It and dates the dawn o fits regenerate prison system from the year of Its abolition. There Is no good and sufficient reason why the state which enact the criminal code with Its- definition of crime, Its pro hibitions and its penalties should as sume the custody and care of the man committed to prison for three years and refuse to recognize its responsi bility for the man sentenced for three months, abandoning him to the hap hazard mercies of inferior Jurisdic tion which is certainly Ignorant, often brutal and some times dishonest. It is not the majesty of the county but that of the state which calls for vin dication. The supervision of crims, let It take what form it may, is the business of the state. The state should name, and it should have exclusive authority over the executive agents to whom it entrusts the discharge of ..this supreme governmental func tion. 1 "The one hope of enlightened pro gress in dealing with the problem of crime is the overthrow of the county Jail system. To this end we must direct our energy. With the state once in command there can be no ques tion but it will find a way to right the wrong and .remedy the evils which In here In the present organization and management of minor prisons." Lutherans In Conference. Washington, D. C, June 7. The General Synod of the Evangelical Lu theran church of the United States, the oldest of American Lutheran bod ies, assembled In the Luther Place Memorial church in this city today for lts 45th biennial convention. The conference is attended by several hun delegates representing 300,000 mem bers of the church. Th sessions will last a week or longer. Proposals for a closer affiliation with other denomi nations In church and mission work will be discussed. The conference al so is expected to take the .final steps for the adoption of the new common Lutheran hymnal. Corvallls, Ore., June 7. Prediction is made by Prof E. L. Potter of the animal husbandry department of the Oregon agricultural college, who !s also secretary of the new state stal lion license board, that the operation of the new stallion law will save the horsemen of the state many thousands of dollars. "If we had had the law before U would have saved some $10,000 or $13,. 000 to the horseman of the state on the price of animals sold them as pure bred under bogus eert'flcates," said Prof. Potter yesterday discussing the results to be expected. "It is prob able that $1,000 more was paid allocs for the dozen stallions with unsatis factory pedigrees for whom we have received requests for licenses, than If a true statement of their breeding had been given at the time of sale. "We have thus far had applications from about 400 stallion owners, whlcli s probably not much over half , t! number of stallions owned at present In Oregon. The greater number have come from Wallowa county, though many have come In from Marlon, Doug las, Baker, and other parts of thr state We take these applications as an evl u.ucc ut. feuou iaiiu uu uuj pai't vi me breeders, and they will not, of course, be prevented from using their stal lions between the filing of the appli cation and the' issuance of the license. The heavy correspondence .regarding applications and the work of classify ing and .filing them, occupies us at present, but when that is done we will begin issuing the licenses. "Besides correcting the present practice of some horsemen of selling and using stallions having bogus pedi grees, the new law will do much to raise the standard of soundness, and thus Improve the stock of the future. The future saving to horsement of Oregon on these two points will "be mc:e than the entire cost of Inspec tion and registration, to say nothing of the prevention of the uso of stal lions as 'hound' which have diseases or constitutional weaknesses liable to affect the offspring."

To God. his neighbor and liimselt most true: Whom neither force nor fawn ing can Unpin or wrench from giving all their due: Whose honesty Is not So loose or easy that a ruffling wind Can blow away or glittering look It blind; Who rides his sure and even trot.

In the little world In which children have their existence there is nothing so finely foltand so finely perceived as' Injustice. "Great Expectations." A man who has any good rea son to believe In himself never flourishes himself before the faces of other people In order that they may believe in him. "David Copperfleld." . The desplsers of mankind are of two sorts they who believe their merit unappreciated and they who receive flattery know ing their own worthlessness. Be sure that the coldest hearted misanthropes are ever of this last order. "Barnaby Budge." Careless About Appendioits In ta Grande.
