A Pleasant Sort of Sea.

The power OF the surf is thing
about which many Of us have but the
most hazy ideas, and indeed the ordi-
nary conditions with which we are sur
rounded prevent US from fully appreci-
ating what it can lie at times.
The people Of the island of Chinco-
league, which is about mile and a
half wide, have, however, opportunities
for judging this experience, which they
must find the reverse of pleasant.
On its eastern side aud between it and
the ocean is Assateague island, which
is also mile and half vida, but the
power with which the waves come is 50
great that at some places the surf
sweeps entirely over both islands. -

THE BOY PROBLEM.
Is the Title of an Interesting Sermon bv
Rev. John Wright at His Pas
torate in ST. Paul
From Mondays Pioneer Press.

Following is part of what he said:
"The season of the childhood of
Christ which the church commemo-
rates at this time is interesting because
of the suggestions it gives us concern
ing the training of our youth. While
not forgetting the divinity of our Lord,
1t can be said that he was nodded by
his surroundings. This is true OF
every child. The earlier and the more
pronounced the discipline the better it
will be for the future man. The boy
problem is not only of value to the boy
himself, but to the whole community.
The man who corrects crime is a bene.
factor, but he is greater one who
prevents crime. The state does a good
work in attempting the reformation of
men and women in it's institutions.
There is, however, more important
duty to which it should address itself,
and that is to throw around our youth
such safeguards that they may never
ripen into criminals.
"There are three influences to which
our youth are subjected. The first is
the influence of the street. There chill
dren get their first education in evil
things. There they hear for the first
time profanity and coarseness of
speech. There they witness duplicity,
selfishness, disobedience and ill man.
ners. A second influence is that of
companionship. In school life, whether
the institution is a public, private or
parochial one, the atmosphere of asso.
citation is always present. Our youth
must choose either the good or the bad.
GA third influence is the discipline
of the home. This is not always de-
cided. The revival of the curfew law
warning children off the street at a
certain hour is wise. At the same
time it is reflection upon the disci-
pline of the parents, for the command
of the father or mother should appeal
to the conscience of child with more
force than any curfew bell. The

Children are not slow to witness this
divided authority and to take advan.

spect that they struggle up through

THE WILL TO DO.
A Determined Purpose Is the Pream BILE
To Success.

The will to do and the power to ac-
complish, are inseparable You can
not accomplish that which you have
not the will to seek after. The un-
known, who wrote "a faint heart ne'er
won fair lady" and the great German
philosopher and poet, who said "Bald-
ness hath genius, power and magic in
it, recognized the truth of this propo-
sition. Emerson said-"N othing great
was ever accomplished without enthu-
siasm.''
Half the battle is won in that min
ute in which you assure yourself that
you can make success of certain
nature. The other half of the battle
is won, when you enlist all the effort,
energy and ambition at your command,
coupled with careful judgment in
carrying out your determination to
succeed. Nothing succeeds like sue
cess is an axiom hOary with age, but
nonetheless applicable to our times and
conditions. Would you succeed, make
success your objective point, and let
no obstacle, great or small, stand be-
tween you and your goal.

| cannot but regard the fixed term
Of punishment-in vogue in most
states, including our Own-as relic of
oarbarism. 1t seems to have no re-
deeming feature. The judge at trial
has very limited opportunity to
learn the inner character of the man,
or of all the influences that have been
working to bring the prisoner to COM
init the crime for which he is tried
nor whether or not he is natural
criminal. He cannot determine how
fong term may be required to reform
the prisoner and he is limited in the
range of periods that sentence must
run. 1t is only by actual contact with
him, and through his daily record and
department, and by observing the
character of the books he reads, and
the letters he writes and ascertaining
as to his personal and family history
that his true standing can be deter
mined. He should be kept in deten-
tion long enough to operate as warn
ing to others, and to fully reform him,
when he should be released without
regard to the length of time for which
he was sentenced. TO retain him after
the time when the man has reformed
and is truly proper material, to send
out among his fellowmen, is crime
committed by the state against hu-
manity-against the entire human
family, and when convict is turned
loose upon society, the prison officials
being satisfied that he is unreformed
and unfit to mingle with his fellows, it
is a crime committed by the state

is, however, to be expected that large
proportion will 60 the other way. The
first step in the downward course is
rebellion against authority, which we
call incorrigibility. The second step is
attended with the committal of petty
crimes. The state provides for both
classes a reform school. In my Opin.
ion it is mistake to place both in the
same institution, for there is a differ
ence in the Offense of each, TO place
lncorrigible children among those who
have gone step beyond and are initi-
ated in vice is to expose the former to
lessons in evil that they had not
learned before. Should there not be
an intermediate institution between
the home and the reform school for
children that have not yet learned how
to be petty criminals? 1t might be
called the 'hOuse of detention The
word detention would be an encour-
aging one, conveying to the mind of
the child the promise that with good
conduct the time of discipline would
not be long. In my opinion such an
institution would be correctional and
kindly in its influence, and the inmates
would not be associated with crimi-
mails. 1t would be healthful and stim-
ulating to youth, and save them from
that latter institution. the reform
school. For many years 1 have been
actively engaged in seeking the better
ment of the youth, and am convinced
from following up certain conditions
productive of vice that the great prob.
lem of the day is the correction of
crime in its incipient stages"

ACTIVE CURRENT TRADE
And a Promising Outlook for Crops
and Business.

Snow-Church Companys Weekly Re
view OF Trade says: Correspondents at
trade centers and letters from manu-
facturers and dealers continue to report
an active current trade and a promising
outlook for both crops and business.
Considerable advance I'm prices OF farm
products. the favorable spring and the
encouraging prospects have created
confidence that war cannot shake.
Some OF course. hang back on account
OF the war, but war. the majority think
will be likely 20 increase prices and
make things more lively FOR a time and
the course Of the markets last week
strengthened this opinion Anyhow, all
the conditions promise good business. and
apparently there IS no reason 10 expect
a serious turn the other way IN the near
future.
The spring and spring trade have been
quite satisfactory at large number
points OF importance and a continuance
OF such conditions through the season
Is anticipated. Reports from many places
speak OF the demand for spring goods
never having been 50 great, greater in
fact than the supply. Early fine wealth
er In the middle States gave a quick
start 10 trade. which was arrested by
the heavy rains and cold that followed;
but IS now again showing satisfactory
activity with good prospects in view
Westward similar conditions prevail and
a like change for the better The out
look Is unusually encouraging IN that
direction. In the Northwest spring
wheat has gone in early with soil In
good condition. The acreage has been
Increased and a buoyant feeling pre-
walls. Indications give every promise OF
a big trade In Missouri and Eastern
Kansas the spring was generally too wet
for trade. but with the late Improvement
in the weather came Improvement in
business. Wheat makes a good showing
In Kansas. but in Missouri the drought
last fau caused considerable reduction
in acreage.
The drought made things dull in Texas
early In the season. later abundant rains
quite changed the aspect and since busi-
ness has been much better with pros
poets encouraging. The corn sections OF
the South make a very encouraging re-
port and business on the whole in this
section OF the country presents as fav-
orable an outlook II not more SO than
any other section
This is a big country and whether the
conditions in general be good or bad
there will be exceptional locality. on
the whole trade this spring has been
better than any since 1892 and the out
look for the season is more promising.
