row; but by mingling with all
sorts and conditions of boys, lis
tening to their stories of past
adventures; playing all sorts of
games, and vieing with others to
be looked upon as the hero of the
push, he soon forgets home ties
and probably never thinks of {,
home until Jimmie's big box of
goodies reminds him that he y
wants one too.
The longer he stays the less
inclined he feels to return home.
His youthful mind is filled with
tales of travel and the big things
to be seen in other cities, and he
longs to be free so he too can
travel.
The rest need not be told in
words; stripes speak for them .
selves. Those who feel any inter
est at all in the boy, impute his
waywardness to Unborn viciousness
etc. They fail to realize that
timely kind word spoken in
earnest and in private to that
same boy would probably have
accomplished far more good to-
ward checking his boyish pran ks
than the whip or something worse
could ever do. More than that,
it would have convinced him that
you loved him; and in his charac-
teristic way he would do your
bidding as evidence of his love
toward you. rArr -r-~r
I What father or mother ever
called their hayward son aside and
counselled him in a way kind
and loving parent is wont to do
and ever failed to bring tears Of
repentance to his childish eyes, a.
hug Of approval from his tiny
| arms and kiss of affection from
his innocent lips; which no parent
will attempt to gainsay is sincere
and manly manifestation of his
sorrow for the wrong he has done.
How much better, too, such treat
ment is than the more frequentlye
employed course Of sending him
off to a school of crime, where he
learns more devilment in two
months than he would learn in as
many years at home.
| [ don't mean to say that all
Reform School products turn out
to be criminals; but I do say, and
challenge proof to the contrary,
that the methods in vogue in the
majority Of Reform Schools, are
far more detrimental than benefi-
cial in effect on the youths who
are Obliged, either by process Of
law or parental desire, to enter
! them. The inevitable conclusion
then is, more attention must
necessarily be given to these
schools, with the aim Of Introduce
ing modern and more effective
reformative features into their
methods of discipline; and no.
youth should be committed to,
them except by due process of
law, and only then as a punish
ment for some offense. ~
It is only by striking at the.
oot-cultivating the youthful
mind with a good wholesome fer-i
tilizer, in the shape Of good sound
practical sense-that those inter-
ested in criminal work can ever;

dictum has gone forth from the
eastern democrats who oppose
Bryan that his failure to carry his
own state al this time will lay him
on the shelf as a presidential
possibility for next year. Hence
the feverish anxiety with which

hope to the situation this year.
His advent in the Ohio campaign

by his defense of G ,ehel and the
split in the party is worse than

Congress and the Philippines Policy

The report comes from Washing
ton that President Mckinley will
ask congress 10 give an authorlta
tive declaration of policy concern
ing the Philippines. The declara-
ton desired by the president is
one asserting the intention of the
United States to maintain com
plete and permanent sovereignty
over lie archipelago at whatever
cost, but promising TIE Inhabitants
such measure of self-government
under American supremacy after
the cessation of hostilities as they
may show themselves capable Of
exercising.
The president determination TO
ask for an expression of policy
from congress will commend Itself
to public sentiment. Such eS
IrGon, whatever its precise form
may be, will do much to clarity
the situation and to strengthen
the hands Of the government.
1t is to be expected that there
will be a bitter controversy ovel
the nature Of the declaration to bt
put forth, bu. when adopted b,

authoritative expression OF TIL
country. The main division i
likely to come in regard to TIL
question of permanent retention o
sovereignty, to which the admins
