March .15.-The members of the "Outward Bound' companyhd present the Sutton Vane play at the Ritz theatre, took their Sunday off and gave the drama for the bene fit of the prisoners in Sing Sing. As these men get only three or four entertainments a year, the event is greatly appreciated by them. , , ; Trained observers who went along as guests made some interesting observations on this unique audience. "To begin with," they reported, "the audience was more mannerly than in the commercial playhouse, where the person who buys a seat feels he also has purchased the privilege to come late, make loud noises and generally disturb the others. The attention at Sing Sing was 100 per cent. "The men were hungry for laughter, and it was an explo sive, sharp sort of laughter that came immediately upon recog nition and not deliberationXThey were quick to get the super ficial, obvious filings. ..More subtle points they missed. Emotion they had no use for. Whereas in the regular audience the greater number weep, copiously when the Rev. Duke utters his boyhood prayer,, and when.Mrs. Midget pleads to keep her son, in Sing Sing the. men were dry-eyed. ' v "Only one youth was seen to lean his head against a pillar and weep. "Human frailty and weakness were things that they had only scorn for. When Alfred Lunt, as the drunken wastrel, broke at the; fear "of meeting God and judgment, and gave vent to hysterical sobs, the men had difficulty in restraining their disapprovaU 'Here and 4here Tou could hear a groan of dis gust. And the love scenes left them cold. They saw only humor in the love between the suicides: A bitter and sardonic existence is theirs, caught in & net wielded by. craftier hands than theirs, and the bitter and sardonic is the only thing that appeals to thcm, 8ob fiction writers to the contrary.' ' " The above is from the theater section of the Fortland Journal'of Sunday. - - , The writer of it was obviously working under the popular notion that men in prison are of a distinctive breed That they are diffirent from other men That they are of. a class; the criminal class." . Some of them are: perhaps 5 per cent, of them; possibly more in j3ing Sing prison. But not in the western prisons, in the states where the bulk of the population is American, or first or second generation American in the processes bf the melting pot; or from the parts of Europe .outside of the "sugar bowl" sections of the Balkans. And not in Oregon ' And this probable 5 per cent, is only of a "class'.' like you would, speak of the educated class or the illiterate class; and they belong to the so-called "criminal class" mostly on account of deficient development physically or mentally they are those the crimes of whose forbears are visited upon them to the seeond and third and fourth generation, mostly. They are not born bad; they are born weak and deficient, and are more than com monly 'susceptible to the influences of bad environment. The great body of men in the prisons of the United States are just men; like those on the outside; with the same feelings and likes and dislikes that characterize other men. ' In the Minnesota, state, prison, at Stillwater, 85 per cent, of the men are returned to society "reformed;'' that is, in con dition to become 'self supporting and law abiding members of society not with wings sprouted; not with all the baser in stincts burned out, but ready and willing and able to take their places in the work of the world, like the great majority who have not "served time." "In the Stillwater prison the men are employed at tasks that bring a revenue to the institution sufficient to pay all its costs, with a surplus, and to warrant the payment of a small wage to all the inmates, from 25 cents to $1.50, and even $250 a day; the money going mostly to the dependents on the outside keep ing the families together; helping the innocent ones who must suffer with the guilty, far outnumbering the guilty. That system is the one to which the Oregon prison is work ing; and reformations here will be as large in proportion to the whole number' as they are in Minnesota. The New York writer quoted above, whea he wrote of the Sing Sing incident, was merely playing upon the psychological condition Of the average mind which believes men in prison are of the 4 criminal class,',' and so must remain in that class. The idea has prevailed throughout the centuries since the dawn of history. But it is as wrong as many other ideas that have run counter with it. j . Would the New York man put the author of the 0 Henry books with the4 criminal class," because he served time in a state penitentiary T Or Tahnenbaum, the great prison reformer and expert! Or the great body of men who go out of Stillwater prison year after year, reformed t Or thousands who have served time in the Oreiron prison! They no out of the institu tion at the east end Of State street almost daily. Most of them worth $12.63. while an acre of to never come back, or go to other prisons. A man who has served I Dacc brought $74. in 1917 an time for manslaughter or second degree murder never repeats; acre of wheat wa" worth $28.53, almost never. c He is a safer man, on the average, in respect to the possibility of a second offence, than the great body of men wha have never been accused of such crimes. . - , The truth is, the New York writer was merely filling space, and writing to pleas'e;the psychological taste of the average reader and, without any proof at all, giving voice to his own ' psychological wrong' headedness. ' 7 ... ; TI1U RIGHT METAL Theodor Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, is a chip oft 'the old 'block. A South Carolina congressman "- named Stevenson made a despicable attack on T.

ABE JUST MEN preparing to go after it right this time; They stop at nothing; the reputation of no republican is sate. but fortunately the country is not panic stricken. It is not being de ceived. ; ' There are more people reading now , than ever before, and these people are making their own values. ' ANOTHER CANDIDATE E.4S. Smith, who spoke in Salem against the income tax. Is a can didate for United States senator on an antl'-Klu Klux platform. We regret this because up until this time, the religious Issue had not been injected Into . the senatorial fight. It ought not to be Injected. It does hot belong there and our prediction is that Mr, Smith will not get far in his efforts to line up man against man. The senatorship should be con tested for upon the merits of the man personally and what he can do for Oregon. A senator should be a man of national importance, but, remembering always that his feet are on the ground in Oregon It is not fair to line up man against man on anything religious. Mr. Smith did not strike us as an out standing man when he spoke here Me certainly did not make a good talk against the income tax. WAR ON CIGARETTES ' l The W.C.T.U. has taken up the war on cigarettes. The tobacco companies have brought this upon themselves. Had the law against selling to minors been enforced, there would not now be any war to abolish the cigarette altogether. It is wrong under our law, and it is a wicked practice to sell cigar ettes to minors. One would suppose that the to bacco companies would learn from the liquor companies. Before pro hibition the liquor interests defied all legislation that was made, until finally an angry people outlawed it. If the tobacco interests would see that the law was enforced against selling cigarettes to minors there would be no considerable agitation at this time. The W.C.T. U. is trying to protect the youth of Oregon and they have been hin dered in every way. They are making now the only fight they can make, because they know for a fact that there will be no co operation in enforcing the law pro hibiting the selling of cigarettes to minors. JEEIUXG AT DRYNESS Our American sailors complain that they are jeered at and almost spit upon by foreign sailors be cause of their dryness. John Ran dolph once said that a gentleman would not insult him and nobody else could. Our sailors should take the same view. These foreign sailors are the offscouring of the earth, the lowest possible class of people. The American sailors are one hundred per cent higher in every way and always have been. Our sailors are a decent sort and ought to be big enough to take the jeering of the roughnecks of the foreigners as praise. CONVICTED ALREADY Senator Wheeler, who is sup posed to be conducting a fair in vestigation as to the guilt of Daugherty, has issued a public statement in which he announces Daugherty already convicted. Sen ator Wheeler is doubtless speiking the truth. Daugherty was con victed before trial was started. The Oregon Statesman is not for Daugherty at any turn of the road. but there is not a fair-minded court in America that would listen to the testimony so far produced against him. Senator Wheeler is even more partisan than Walsh, and a man of much less ability. Walsh has the decency not to pro claim his decisions weeks ahead of the time when they are made. In 1914, India, Germany, Aus tria-Hungary. Russia, Great Brit ain, France, Japan, Italy and the Netherlands used 1.472.000.000 pounds of tobacco, while the United States used 786,000,000 pounds. On a per capita basis we used three and one-half times as much as the average person in those countries. It would require 72,000 freight cars carrying 20, 000 pounds each to move the to bacco bill of these twelve nations, making a train 1,254 1-2 miles long. Tobacco acreage is rapidly in creasing while the acreage produc ing cereal crops is decreasing. This in spite of the fact that our popu lation hag increased by millions. In l9.lv an acre of wheat was while an acre of tobacco brought the enormous sum of $205.95 These figures show that the to bacco vice is becoming dominant while the more wholesame food stuffs required by the nation are growing less constantly. THE FACE ON THE FLOOR We have heard of the face on the barroom floor that would not come out. .- There is a face appear lng on the floor of the oil com mittee room in Washington, D.C., that is ' becoming brighter and brighter. It shows the purpose of the " investigation. The; face is that of a donkey. Strange Isn't it that the face of a 'donkey should appear where, these great investi gators are working? DENBV8 HOME COMING Denby was given a great recep tion in Detroit upon his return to private life. In a public adddress he was still defiant, still said ' he did right, Nobody questioned the Integrity of Denby. or his motives. He was' aim ply .outplayed by.xn en who knew exastly what they want ed, with the result that Denby had to leave the cabinet. He will not get far in asking for a vindication. He was too stupid in letting things be put over him. MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS V Adele Garrisoa's Mew Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE Copyright 1921, by Newspaper feature Service, Inc. CHAPTER 128 Tho Unexpected Complication That Met Madge and Lillian in tho Kitchen ."I knew it!" I exclaimed, woman-like, as Lillian and I, at Marion's frightened call, made a dash to the kitchen from the ver anda where we had arranged the code summons to my father and Allen Drake. "Whatever is mother doing in the kitchen?" I thought I had every bit of the work done, and that she was lying down." "She was," Lillian rejoined breathlessly, as she ran, "but she probably seized the chance of our being gone to do some extra bit cf cleaning." The truth of her supposition was brought forcibly home to us as we burst into the kitchen door. An immense dish cupboard in the kit chen stood open, and on the floor beside it in the midst of a clatter of broken crockery, sat my mother- in-law, her head resting against Marion, her face deathly pale be neath the blood that was trickling from a cut in her forehead, and her left arm hanging In limp fa shion sickeningly suggetsive of a fracture. I slipped to my knees beside her, and put my arm around her, re leasing Marion, while Lillian, with a quick survey of the kitchen, took command of the situation in char acteristic fashion. "Marion, get my first-aid kit. and call to Uncle Dicky in his room as you go," she said, and as the child sped obediently from the room she poured some water into a basin, and with a soft cloth be gan to lave my mother-inlaw's face. Mother Gi ahatn opened her eyes and spoke feebly. "The chair slipped,", she said Lillian and I looked at each other in exasperated amazement. This woman of over 70 years had put a box upon a kitchen chair, and had climbed upon it in order to clean the upper shelf of the cupboard. An upset pan with soapy water flowing from it com pleted the mute story of her fool ish endeavor. "What what is it? What's happened to Mother?" Dicky, white-lipped, breathless from run ning, rushed into the room and to his mother's side. "I should think you could look after her better than this, Madge! How did she fall? Are you badly hurt?" "It you'll save your breath to cool your broth Rich ard," his mother said with diffi culty, but with ,her old tartness. you may find out some thing." I saw a smile twitch the corners of Lillian's lips, but for myself I felt no amusement. That- part of my brain whieh was not filled with alarm for my mother-in-law was occupied with resentment against Dickey for his unjust blame of me. However, I reflected, bitterly, I ought to be used to it, for there have been few adverse happenings. big and little, in our life together. for which Dickey's first impulsive words have not been those of cen sure. "Please get a doctor as soon as you can. Dicky-bird," Lillian said softly. "This cut on the forehead is nothing which I cannot attend to, but her arm " "My arm is broken, "Mother Graham said with decision, and as I saw the beads of sweat standinK out on her forehead I knew that she was suffering great pain, but heroically suppressing any refer ence to It. Whenever 1 see my mother-inlaw in great physical pain I realize of what stuff the old martyrs were made, for she utters no word of complaint. All her fusslness 1 is expended upon the petty things of life, the great mo ments find her poised and uncom plaining.- Lillian Takes Command. "Jerry Ticer Is at the barn." Lillian went on. "If you'll call him, I think that with all of us we can carry her to the bedroom off the living-room. We don't dare attempt the journey upstairs with this arm. That's right, Marion. Take out that little bottle in the right hand lower corner of the kit. Hold it ready for me if 1 need it. Now, Mother Graham, don't mind if I sting you a little." With quick deft fingers Lillian bound up the wound in the elder woman' forehead and directed Marion in the preparation of a po tion from the little bottle, which the compelled my , mother-tn-laW to drink by sheer force of will. And then ;Jerry Ticer, summoned by Dlckyj came, intd the kitchen; and with infinite care we succeeded in transferring Mother Graham, from the kitchen floor to the bed Lil lian had mentioned. "What doctor do you want. Mother?" Dickey asked when 'the journey was completed. "I suppose that jackanapes of a Pettit will do as well as anybody," she said in a stronger voice than she had used before, thanks to the strength of Lillian's potion, and we all interpreted her words as an approval of the physician which she would have died rather than put in specific, form. "Everything Is Cleaned" v "I'll have him here in a jiffy," Dicky promised, and hurried from the room. , Then Lillian and I bent over his mother, trying to make her as comfortable as possible. I won dered if Lillian was as dismayed as I over the prospect of the next few weeks, with Mother Graham a helpless invalid, and Katie gone A childishly .triumphant smile crossed my mother-in-law's Hps as she sounded the slogan of the old martinet housekeeper she is "Well, anyway, no matter who comes into that kitchen, every thing is cleaned, just as it should be, except that water and those broken dishes on the floor, now see that you keep it way!" (To be continued) And that BAPTIST REVIVAL Another Interesting Address by Evangelist Trawin Sunday Night The largest audience of the re vival meetings greeted the evan gelists at the Baptist church Sun day night. Every available space kwas taken. The song service un der the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Tebow went with good spirit and enthusiasm, the audience taking part in the singing. The church choir rendered a beautiful selection, "With Thee, O Master," by Wooler. "By request Mr. Tebow repeated the trombone solo, "The Ninety and Nine," the audience and large chorus joining in the last verse. ... The sermon by Dr. C. L. Trawin was taken - from Genesis 1:26, "Let Us Make Man." He said: ''It cannot be disputed that God made this old earth, the starry hosts, and did a good job of it. That he made man ought not to be considered a very great im possibility for such a creator, in all the history of the human race God has been calling men Tor his work, Abraham, Moses, prophets and disciples were men. But in this modern age we have reversed God's plan and leave the work of God for the women. Men are too busy with business and profes sional duties to take a hand in the rearing of their own children, and in the proper attention to re ligious duties. They spend more on their horses and cattle, and the breeding of hogs and sheep than they do in rearing boys and girls, and yet 'How much better is a man than a sheep.' " At the close of the sermon a number of those present declared their faith in the Bible and the work of God and in Christ as the Saviour of the world. At the morning service a large class of new members was re4 ceived at the conclusion of Dr. Trawln's sermon. In the after noon delegates from out of town joined the local young people in a rally at 4 o'clock and an address was given by the pastor. Rev. E. H. ' Shanks. Supper was served and the young people stayed for the evening. These popular Sun day evening meetings are to be continued With the large chorus choir and the special features.
