That the soul of every man is
worth redeeming.' and " that the riven
who III ''Jails do not coma from a
criminal class, but'com ffora all
classes. Is the elaihi made by Mrs.
Maud Ballington Booth of the Volun
teers of America in a talk at the
White Temple last night. The church
was filled to its capacity.
, Mrs. Booth's talk was a plea for
the man leaving jail, whom she said
society now brands a criminal and re
fuses a chanee to be honest. "There
is in every human heart a golden
gratn that makes life worth while.
After the prisoner has served his term
it Is up to him to determine to be a
man. and for you to help him to make
eood. Give him a chance.'' she
Dleaded.
"I am here as a messenger from my
boys behind the ba'rs, who expect me
to go out Into -tUe world and plead
for the people to give tnem a enance.
"There has been a tendency to brand
those Unfortunate men, and as a con
sequence they cannot turn but what
they are faced with the reminder of
their unfortunate past and denied
chance to blot it out.
"Irf the 18 years that I have been
in this reform work I have seen
many of the brutalizing prison sys
tems abolished and have seen the
good effect of humanising influence
However, even if we could make every
prisoner a model, reform him and
bring him out a better man, he can
not get along in the world unless he
lias a chance.
"He will need an employer who
knows his history and will trust him.
After a man leaves prison, he shoulrt
not be forced to go back to his old
haunts and slink in the shadows."
She then outlined the policy of the
Volunteer Prison Reform league, of
which she is the head, stating that
the members Were meeting men as
they left the prisons and were seek
ing to guide them into the right
ways and to find employment and aid
for them that they might aid them
selves.

Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth
Addresses Business
. Men, -
Efforts being made to use the new-
y organized Taxpayers association in
promoting a referendum on water
meters will probably result in a fight.
Members of the organisation say that
W. Conway, chairman of the com
mittee that Is atempting to launch the
movement, is acting on his own inltla
tlve. and he will find, when the asso
elation next meets, that many of its
members are determined in their op
position to having the organization
used for any such purpose.
'Mr. Conway and his self-appointed
committee, if they ' desire to put thei
referendum on the meter ordinance.
may do so as individuals, but they will
find some difficulty in lining up the
Taxpayers' association behind their
campaign' said Thomas Sweeney, 875
East Sixteenth street, this morning.
"I am a member of the association.
and I was at the meeting at which
Mr. Conway's committee was appoint
ed to confer with the city commission
er. The committee was not author
ized to use the association's name in
Its referendum campaign, and, what is
more, members of the committee were
practically all the anti-meter people
at the association's meeting when the
committee was named.
"I don't object to Mr. Conway going
as far as he likes with his referendum
campaign, 'provided be acts as an Indi
vidual. But he will find that the small
taxpayers will insist upon equal right
In the matter of water distribution.
"As the rates now stand the man in
Irvington with three lots and one tap
pays $1 a month for three sprinklers.
The man in Alberta with one lot and
one tap pay 1 a montn ror one
sprinkler.
"Mr. Conway will rind tnat memoers
of the Taxpayers' association win
tand for the Alberta man as well as
for the Irvington man. iney win in
sist upon equal righta. That IB what
the-association is for."
State Senator I. N. Day has just re
turned from Washington, D. C, where
he, as a member of the party of promi
nent Oregonlans, pu, in a week in an
eriort to secure an appropriation ror
a dredge at the mouth of the Columbia
river, and attempted to persuade the
attorney general from going ahead
with a cult to unmerge tho Southern
pacific and Central Pacific railroads.
While in Washington the senator
also made inquiries jas to the attitude
of the government I toward the pro
posed state Columbia river hydro
electric power project at Celilo Falls.
He was in the east six weeks.
Oregon's chance to secure an ap
propriation for a dredge he declared
are good, providing citizens and civic
organizations of the northwest stand
togetner and make a concentrated ef
fort to this end. ; i
Notwithstanding report to the con
trary. Colonel Burr, j acting chief engi
neer, who has charg of river and har
bor improvements, and hia assistant.
Colonel Taylor, , botih strongly favor
tne construction ori a dredge." said
Senator Day. "They have draughtsmen
already preparing plans for one. There
Is no dredge existing, they state, that
could be adapted to the work at the
Columbia river bar and the plans
therefore call for much study and originality.
Build Jetty First.
"In order to secure a 40 foot chart
nel. Colonels Burr and Taylor believe
that the north jetty must be first con
structed and then a dredge put on the
channel.' It is impossible to secure an
appropriation of 41,600,000 for a dredge
at the present session of congress, but
we have been strongly advised that
the efforts of the Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho and Montana delegates will
be able to secure a 'continuing con
tract' for the north Jetty.
"Nothing. It seems to me, will be
able to atop the government's suit for
the unmerglng of the Southern Pacific
and Central Pacific. '
"We had a pleasant conference with
the attorney general and. urged the
effect it would have on Oregon' In
terests. He finally expreased himself
as willing that ' the Oregon side of
the case be presented In court.
"While iif Washington we met with
the California delegates and decided to
immediately undertake a vigorous Cam
paign to the end that business inter
ests might be fully impressed as to
the effect unmerglng may have upon
business in Oregon and California. J.
rN. Teal was appointed Vo represent
Oregon and was given authority to
suggest the names of those who wfll
direct the proposed campaign.
"I' took up with the reclamation ser
vice informally the proposition to de
velop hydro-electric power at Celilo. I
found tho engineers and government
are interested in the project, as is
evidenced by the fact that $15,000 has
beery set aside to cooperate wtth the
state of Oregon in an investigation of
the practicability of the scheme."
Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth spoke
to about 100 business men at the Com
mercial club at noon today, making a
plea for the Volunteer Home for Girl
and Women tn this city, the mortgage
on which hebucned yesterday.
She stated that work would be start
ed In the near future to build a larger
home than the one just paid for, which
accommodates but 40 women, and that
the business men would be asked, to
aid In the movement.'
In connection with her prison work,
Mrs. Booth said: "Over 20,000. men
have come to me .out of the prisons
since Z have started in the work with
them, and I, can truthfully say that
