WHY MUST BOYS Do CRIME
In Order to Enjoy tho Advantages of an
Industrial School?

In Order to Enjoy tho Advantages of an
Industrial School?
To the Editor of the STATE JOURNAL:
l have just read Rev J. d. BOtkin's ar
ticle in yesterdays issue on Teach the
Boys to Work. 1 have great respect
for Mr.. Botkin and for his opinion but
think he, like many others, has seen but
one side Of this great question. l have
no objections to these boys being taught
to work, but l do object and have right
to object to schools for bad boys and bad
girls, yes. criminals, if you please, being
called Industrial Schools" We have
young people, boys and girls, all over
this land who desire to. engage in
industrial pursuits. Why can we not
have industrial schools within the reach
of every one of them? Industrial schools
for good honest American boys and girls,
and industrial schools without any stig-
ma attached to them, without any strings
or hindrances to them? 1t seems that
when our people think of an industrial
school it is always associated with In
dams, Negroes or criminals Why is
this? Is industry dishonorable, or is IT
because enough at best of the criminal
class get into the professions?
l have looked long and anxiously for
the enactment of a law ablishing
county high schools with an industrial
department. Here is a field for some
solon to immortalize himself. Respect
fully, j. F. MAxEY.

HE CAN DRINK.
A Kelley Graduate Tells of the Effect of
the Kelley Cure.

] A Kelley Graduate Tells of the Eject of
the Kelley Cure.
In the Winfield Courier of recent date
appears a letter relating the experience
OF a late student at the Topeka Kelley
Institute. from which we quote the writ
er's description of the effects of the
treatment The letter is signed j. P. W.,
which will readily be recognized as rep
resenting a man well known to the news
paper fraternity of Kansas.
II met there merchants, lawyers, ply
sicians. farmers. clerks, office men, train
men. laborers, mechanics, etc. Associa-
tions we're greatly enjoyed, and all
seemed anxious to assist each other.
There are pleasant reading rooms in con-
nection with the institute for the use of
the class, supplied with reading matter,
writing material, games, etc, and you
meet there graduates of months
those asking relief. by assuring them
that none but good effects follow the treat
ment, and that these effects are perma-
nent The experience of scores of earlier
graduates whom have met, confirm me
in the belief that the good effects realiz-
ed are permanent. there being absolutely
no craving or thought of liquor. 1t
seems entirely wiped out of the mind.

Discredit has in many cases been
brought upon DR.. Keeley's treatment by
the failures of his numerous imitators,
commonly called flake cures" The pub
lie has read of the matter in such care
less manner as to fail to discriminate
between the real Kelley treatment
and that of the imitators, and it has
become common practice to call
every institution pretending to cure
drunkenness a "Keeley cure" The
fact has been established beyond contra
diction that DR.. Keeley's treatment will
effectually and permanently eradicate
the liquor and morphine craving, while
it seems to be about as effectualIy dem
onstrated that the imitation treatments
are complete failures As Kansas is af-
flicted with many of these imitation
cures, it is we'll that all who seek medi-
cal relief exercise due caution.

ELECT POSTMASTERS.

Let the Patrons of a Postof1ce Select
Their Own Postmaster.
To the Editor of the STATE JOURNAL:
A few thoughts suggested in an arti-
Gle published in your paper of the Goth
inst. strike me as favorably as anything
l have read on the subject of electing
officers instead of appointing them by
executive.
| allude to the article, "EIect all
Officers" One suggestion you omitted
which is of as much importance as any
of them, and that is that all postmasters
should be elected by the patrons of the
Office instead of being appointed.

avenue 1OOr-tO write up the
new goods. He was handed
a late Harper's Bazaar in which
was a description of some Of
the handsomest and most fash
ionable Dress Goods, shown
at the most fashionable store in
New York.
The description fits exactly
our new goods-(they are the
same things.)
Rough, slazily woven woods
prevail for the dresses that are
to be worn very soon in Flor
ida and throughout the sum-
mer III all parts of the country.
Light colors and lightness of
weight are distinctive features
of these new fabrics. Scotch
effects are commended by the
merchants, not in plaids but in
Scotch colors arranged in
small irregular checks.
"Green is the leading color
in the new combinations-a
yellowish green dominating a
series of fine checks in varied
arrangements, while mere
stitches Of darker green form
stripes in another set of fine
materials of which no two are
alike. The blue in both checks
and stri pes is a bright corn
flower shade. More snowy
checks nearly an inch square
are so loosely woven that there
is an open space in the center
Of each almost large enough
to pass the finger through.
Stylish colorings for these are
reseda green, white and dull
red together,or gray,white and
chestnut brown and also bot
tic green, tan color aud white.
Such novelties are forty-eight
inches wide. Seven or eight
yards are required for a dress,
and these openly woven fab
rics almost demand a silk lin
ing.
More substantially woven
tweeds for tailor gowns are in
many different patterns of
checks, green, brown and white
being especially admired.
Brown is, next to green, the
most prominent color. and is
checked with white and tan
color, or else there is bright
blue threads or those of pale
orange in large crossbars amid
irregular blocks. The boucle
cloths are very effective in
brown with dark reddish tints,
in golden brown, and in pleas
ant shades thickly strewn with
white loops Of silky mohair.
Lighter than all others are
more decided checks, with
white predominating, as pale
blue, white and black with vel
low bars, or else dull red and
white crossed with leaf-green
bars at wide intervals.
"Tailors will make much
use of whipcords in neat re
versed stripes closely woven
to form a smooth surface that
rePels dust. These are for
travelling and walking dresses
They come in blue-grays, to-
bacco brown, tan and draE
shades, measuring forty-eight
inches in width. OF the same
width are the popular hail
stripes in whipcords, in stylish
green with white, navy blue
and white, and Havana brown
with ecru. Serges of we'll de
fined twills came in three O.
four excellent shades of brown
and tan color, in corn-flowe
blue, in two reds-one bright
the other dull and, of course
in the servicable navy blue
These are full double width"
And SO it goes along tn
entire line of hundreds o
pieces.

LABOR IN SAN FRANCISCO.
10000 IDLE MECHANICS AND
CLERKS IN THE CITY.
Efforts to Build UP Local Enterprises
New Unions Being Organized
Interest in the Labor Edition.

In writing of the industrial conditions
Of San Francisco might paraphrase the
celebrated chapter on Snakes in Ire
land" and say: There are nc Industrial
conditions in San Francisco" Probably
many of the Herald's readers have been
Iaborlng under the impression that this
Golqen CITY was the Mecca of wage
workers, but their delusion would quickly
VANISH were they to transport their lares
ana penates to San Francisco For the
past SIX years we have been annually
considering that each year was the dull
est ever known. but in every succeeding
year we have reached a lower plane and
a narqer nod bedrock, until today there are
+ 1ra y tO,UoO idIe mechanics and clerks
tramplng the streets, hopeless, hungry
and almost desperate. Turn as we NAV.
Ihere can be found no definite prospect
LOT much better times for years to come.
Inc proposed new enterprises will not
absorb one-half of the unemployed. and a
newcomer will find Scant cheer, or well
come: Some slight idea of the Industrial
conditions may be gathered from the
energetic efforts of our local manufacture
erS and business men to excite a spirit
of state loyalty strong enough to practi-
caIiy par eastern competition. They have
been forced TO this extremity by a knowl-
edge that unless something of the sort
Is accomplished San Francisco will soon
cease 20 be a manufacturing city and
California will become an AGRICULTURAL
colony of the east.
AS far as organized labor is concerned
we are inclined to believe that trades
unionism is going to have brisk revival
this year Already several new unions
have been organized, older organizations
are rapidlyincreasing in membership and
the Labor Council is beginning to as
sumo the appearance it wore in 1890 when
it was considered the mist effective
central labor body west of Chicago.
We are anxiously awaiting The Her
AIDS labor edition, as much to contrast
its contents and general makeup with
the ''sasiety'' editor of our local paper as
to read the articles from the weil-known
labor leaders engaged by you. We hope
the expectations of the editors and com
pliers of your edition will be exceeded in
every way and send our mite, not for
publication, but as an evidence of good
faith. Fraternally yours,
NJ. McGLYNN,
President San Francisco Labor Council.
