' ! t OREGON. DAILY JOURNAL', PORTLAND,' WEDNESDAY V EVENING.: SEPTEMBER M. 1907. THE s WHEPRISOII I P L 1 1 DOES Association' Urges -All - Min Isters to Observe Last ' -Sunday in October. By Albert S. Btaelman, ' ? President of the Chaplains' Association.'' John Howard, tha prison martyr, dM 110 years ago. The atmosphere of the world atm vibrates with hla prayer:. "Do Thou, O Lord, vlalt the prisoners and captives. Help, Almighty Ood," Immense advancement has been made, since his day In prison theory, disci, pllne and architecture. Not sudden death but better life for the prisoner Is the program today. Make a man of him. Olve him wholesome Instruction and work. Encourage him to earn and ' save aome money that he may have a right attitude toward labor and property. Surround him with religious and educa tional' Influences and opportunities. i - It a man lias fallen ,very low, we ; must give him the precepts of decency, purity, cleanliness and self-respect. If I he never saw a sanitary wash room, I and never knew the uses of clean I clothes, baths and sunshine, the state, must atve him the benefit of these means of civilisation. The prison etroc-"; ture -must conform to tne elementary requirements of moral and sanitary science. Prison architecture must do Its part. Better results will follow better equipment. The results already obtained justify all the effort made in the pris oner's behalf. But we are bound to warn the people not to depend upon penal machinery to make men pood. However splendid the work of reformatory agencies, however faithful the probation and truant offi cers and the great army of teachers fn the church and school, there Is still a large clasa of children and youths "trun upon the streets" from the slums and from respectable homes all uncon scious of their .neglecU The homeless child develops "the cat, monkey and tiger" in his nature. He must be early rescued from his bed in a barrel If a cltisen is to be developed in his at tenuated anatomy. The large clans of adolescents always drifting Into the haunts of vice needs constant attention. The same Is true of a large army of unattacned foreign ers of all nationalities. A friendly hand Is needed to keep them from rash and dangerous courses which lead to prison or to potter's field. Kvery one person ally knows men, women and children who havo left the safe path. There Is no greater work of patriotism open to the average mortal than to teach one such person to be true to Ood, to coun try and to bo If. It is a call to pa triotic service in which all may haVe a part, always Inspired with the great hone of saving some one. The Chaplains' association urges upon all mlnlMers of religion the observance of th- last Sunday In October as a prison Sunday. Parents need to be re-, minded that the hearth stone is the cor nerstone of this republic. The strong must help the weak; and good people of all fa'ths must combine In an everlast ing cruonde to find and reclaim the de linquent and the outcast In every ward and precinct of our cities. If n committee from the Women's clubs Hnd preachers' unions fhould visit the county Jail and the local lock-up. In consultation with the authorities, with a desire to throw moral Influences around the Inmates, thousands of peo ple, many of them Innocents, would be benefited every year. The conditions In reme died. Separate, clean and respectable quarters would be provided for all, a police matron always for women, work TEAS imay all look alike but, there it a .vast difference in quality.

M<nomah county's delinquent tax roll this year will be the smallest In the history of the county Is 'the pre diction of Chief Deputy Sheriff 8. Martin, who presides over the tax col lecting department of Sheriff Stevens' office. He says the delinquent roll, which means the unpaid taxes, will be very small. Tne removal of the exemption of personal property from taxation has en riched the county by about (200,000, according to the best estimate that could be made. The total of taxes for 1907 was $2.83.463. Of this amount (65,281 Is on personal property. These taxes became payable on the first Monday in February. Until March li a discount of 3 per cent was given to those citizens who paid their taxes promptly. After March 16 and until April 1 taxpayers were given the privilege of paying half of their taxes and waiting until October 7 to pay the second half. Many availed themselves of this accommodation, and It Is the last half of the taxef that the deputies are now collecting. Statements are being sent out to all who have not paid all their taxes, re minding them that the last day in which to make payments is rapidly ap proaching.

Oftentimes we will follow a man along in his argumentative deception, just to see how far he will go, until we awaken to the fact that we're arguing right with him. So with the man whose clever genius we appreciate, but whose line of argument we cannot follow the man who advertises a Range for what it isn't. There's one Range that holds its proud head high above deception's charm the "Eclipse" the dignified thoroughbred the Range of Superiority.
