OTT . 1 r. . Y. A A." n tionai Prison congress, which closes Its 'session today in Richmond, many ques : tlone were discussed relative to the criminal and his habits, crime and Its I cure, punishment and its modifications. . fon of these questions is of so much Importance as that, pertaining to the Jiie or me convict aner ne leaves m penitentiary. According to the re port made at this congress by Lieutan ant Colonel Pugmire of the Salvation Army of Canada, and member of the 'committee on discharged prisoners, ' there are now within prison walls on ' i ths continent over 100,000, human be- inga' Of these a great number will be discharged the coming year, and the 1 very important question arises: "What hall we do with them?" Ever since prisons have been known the unfortunates who have served terms within their walls have been systemat : ically dehumanized, and when released have become a most serious menace to society. Until the. time of the presept generation the penal institutions (of this country were places of punishment, never places for curing crime as. if It were a disease, and they who went out again were hard and bitter, or full of hopelessness. The hand of the world was against them, and sooner lor later crime claimed them again. A new era has dawned. Led by the Salvation Army, the Y. M. C. A., the Howard as sociation, the Volunteers of America and several private philanthropies, so ciety is awakening to the fact that the - ex-convict is, after all, a human be : Ing, with feelings, and, perhaps, hope and ambition despite his prison exper- - lenee. Realizing this, it means to help " him on Ms feet again. Wbat ths Belnm Bin Bmi. 8ee what has been done by some of the ex-convicts friends In the' past . year, according to Lieutenant Colonel pug-mire's report. The New Mexico So ciety for the Friendless met thirty pris oners on their discharge, found em ployment for eight and helped sixteen In other ways. The Society for the riencuess in xexas round employment for 200. The Prison Aid association found employment for 237' and helped 109 In other ways. The Central Howard association found employ ment for over 1,000 and helped 1,800 others. The Massachusetts society met 2,000 on discharge and ; helped over half of these in some way. The Prison Aid Department of the Sal vation Army of Canada met nearly 1,400 prisoners on aiscnarge ana round em ployment for 700. The Prison Gate mission of the eastern territory of the Salvation Army of the United 8tates : of which work Evangeline C Booth Is commander, found employment for 214 ex-prisoners, gave meals to nearly 3,000 and lodging to over 1,600. Salvation Army's Z.etter. The Salvation Army methods are typical of the way In which the prison aid societies help the newlv-freed man to his feet again.

Always, though, this fact re mains: He must take menial work. According to an Old World belief, when a man has sinned he must serve in some humble shape, so the men who have sinned against society here In our land must be witling, after their re lease, to follow humbler callings.

A glance at the dally register li leresnng. Mere is tne record of one man sent home, for one of the army's greatest works Is to reconcile families to the err ng members and win their innuence in Helping tne released pris- unrrs w Btrnigni. Anoiner is given some clothes nnd several good meals, and another tools to start out for him self. This one is sent out to a good place as "handy man," and that one Is dressed from top to toe in ''good clothes so that he can get the work already promised. There are several sent temporarily to the Industrial Home. I where 150 men are kept constantly at work. This woman was given a bed for one night, and twenty-five cents next day to start her on her way to Brooklyn. At the foot of this record the ever optimistic cadet in charge has written. "A good woman, whom I trust." Another record shows that an Italian Just from Sing Sing was given two dollars and passed on to the Italian society, where he had further help. This one shows that a fellow after seven weeks' unjust sentence in the Tombs had Just been released, the guilty party having confessed. Confidence Sometimes Abused. Sometimes thf faith of the Salvation Army Is sadly shaken, but they only work the harder to arouse manhood in those whom they seek to help. There is record of an interview with a fellow Just out of Auburn, where he had done time for embezzlement The army as signed him work with a big firm and at the bottom of the page the cadet wrote, "He seems s good fellow." An amendment a few weeks later states that the "good fellow" had relieved the firm of $300 and. skipped the city. The Salvation Army prepares for Its prison gate work by preaching to the prisoners in the Jails before they are released, praying with them, gaining their confidence and proving an inter est in them. In New Yftrk City, for ex ample, they carry this work on In nine prisons and workhouses. They are per mitted to visit the Tombs, where there are already" four chaplains in charge, one Catholic, one Episcopal, one Jewish and one representing the evangelical churches.

Chancellor Von Bulow, who has recently been criticised by the relchstag for his defense of Em peror William and wmvlater mads him self the Idol of the German people by exacting from - the kaiser a promise that he would limit the Imperial power, today made one of the most remarkable speeches ever delivered in the German parliament. Still pale from his long Illness and the strain of his meeting with the em peror at Potsdam. Von Bulow made a vigorous address in support of his eight finance bills that were threatened with defeat 'ta the relchstag because of the dispute between the chancellor, the emperor and the parliament. Germany is unpopular among the other nations of Europe." declared the chancellor, "and the only way we can regain our prestige is by the upbuilding m "ur navai ana military rorces. "Germany needs armaments arid the money with which to build them. Our financial system Is our weakest point. It ls the patriotic duty of the German people to inaugurate new taxes." There is a strong sentiment smong the delegates to give the chancellor a free hand and let him build up the Ger man army and navy as he desires, but the Socialists are against any further enhancement of the military power of the empire and the consequent burden of taxation that it entails. of the secretary of state as follows: Columbia River -Light A Power com pany; principal office, Portland; capital stock. 160,000; incorporators.

These are ready to extend a hand, to offer work, to be In a measure sponsor for them to the world, and to help them reclaim their manhood and womanhood, and to make good where they once broke faith with society and paid tho price. It rests with the ex-prisoner him self whether he succeeds.

WSAK1TEB8, I have a treatment for men's weak ness which la entirely out of the line of the stimulants and tonics which for a long time was the only help that physicians had to offer for such conditions, being all the treatment known to the ordinary physician and all that was mentioned in medical text books from which such disorders were studied, its frequent failure to give help caused many honest and well-meaning physicians to admit that there was nothing to help a man whose virile power was declining. But my exhaustive studies In the specialties of Men's Weakness proved conclusively to me that this class of disorder in about nine cases out of ten Is due to an affection of the nerves of the prostate gland, or to a disturbance of the blood supply to this ImDortant organ. Treatmenta must be given to the affected part. It must be local and direct. It must be the right treatment, and the ac tion of the medication must be mi nutely understood. Then the result. Is never in doubt for a minute, and the cure Is as permanent as it is ab solute. BLOOD rOIBOV. fmmmmf ' In? ITS THE SOIL THAT COUNTS "DOWN ON THE FARM" AT- I cure this disease completely.

I VEKI1E icmw In the selection of soil, the walnut demands more care than any other tree. The roots of most trees spread out under ground after the fashion of the branches above, but the root of the Walnut grows down after the manner of a carrot. This is known as a TAP ROOT The Walnut is a heavy feeder and the soils that suit it best are the good, deep, rich, moist loams such as found in the rolling lands of the Willamette Valley. The soil must be at least fifteen feet deep and well drained. The soil at Riverside Orchards is from twenty-five, to sixty two feet deep.
