The Juvenile Court Law.

">HE PROVISIONS of the
juvenile court law We're
l. given detail and explanation
for the reading public in the
newspaper reports Of Tuesday OF the
meeting held on Monday by the Phil
adephia board of judges. a meeting
devoted to discussing the best methods
of putting into effect the provisions
Of the law. Pending the report of
committee appointed at that meeting
and consisting of the five president
judges and such others as they might
select. the judges now sitting in the
quarter sessions court in Philadelphia
were empowered to act in any case in
that city demanding immediate at
tcntion under the statue.
Now, as Magistrate Millar has cs-
rrcially called to the attention of the
Scranton public. there are cases in this
city at this very moment demanding
such immediate attention. The law.
in its various clauses. relates to de
pendent" ohildren. 'negle cted" children,

comprising children under sixteen
years of age who by breaking laws or
ordinances render themSe Ives subjects

his forcible appeal to the people of
this city for ft place of detention
while awaiting trial. a place where

criminals. that we again speak. Here
is the resume of the juvenile court
laws provisions as to their arrest and
detention:
Delinquent children. when arrested,
may be taken directly into the juve-
nile court. If given a hearing before
a magistrate. the case must be trans
frrred to the tribunal. No child under
/. years of age. the act says, shall be
committed to the state reformatory
or house of refuge. nor child under
ii years of age to 81 Jail or police
station. If such child is unable to
secure bail, it is to be placed under
the care of the sheriff. policeman or
probation offio err. who shall place it in
suitable place provided for such
children. If the youthful offender is
sentenced ia confinement, it must be
kept separate from adult convicts or
prisoners"
Now will the councils the churches.

take sense of that paragraph. those
clauses of the law? Where is that

THE ~ Ew YORK SUN
Money Article, Headed
The Financial s. Situation
published each Monday, has for Is
years been looked for with the great
est interest in banks and counting
rooms and among all financial men,
and has been respected as perhaps
the most intelligent review of the
money market and stock market. In
this article, Monday, June 8, the
Sun in the course of review of the
business and condition of the South
western Railway systems says: "An-
other potent influence affecting Atch-
inson for good is the oil discoveries.
People here have not paid as much
attention to this matter as they
should. The general tendency has
been to scout it as a craze. But
there is no longer any doubt that it
represents a permanent and almost
incalculable increase of wealth to the
Southwestern territory, and hence,
inevitably, to the Atchinson. South
ern Pacific and other railroads in that
section. These railroads will gain
much by the additional business
generally growing out of the new de-
velopment, hut their chief product
will be in the astonishing saving
rendered possibl to them in the cost
of fuel. A ton of coal in oil does not
cost over 81, whereas the coal used
by the Southern Pacific and Atchin-
son railroads last year cost between
SO and Sd ton. AS the expendi-
ture for this purpose is nearly 25
per cent of the total cost of trans
portation on the roads, the import
ance of the new found economy is
apparent, 1t means millions of dol
lars to these railroad properties"
This article fairly represents the
trend of thought toward the oil in
dustry among capitalists generally.
The magnitude of the industry and
it's Importance as source of wealth
is perhaps not yet appreciated by the
general public, but the leaders in
finance recognize fully that oil and
it's numerous by-products is to cut
great and constantly growing fig
ure in our domestic and export trade,
the extent of which is already colos-
sal.
To make money in oil it is only
necessary to discriminate carefully
and invest in stock of companies
that are under practical and respon-
sible management and have large
holdings of oil lands secured at low
prices. THE PACIFIC COAST AND
TEXAS OIL COMPANY is such
corporation and this stock offers the

IL turmoil which the people of
Scranton have felt with re-
gard To the city government OBJ
tains with reference to the local indus
trial situation. An era of agitation
and Of strikes has prevailed for up
ward of year. with losses to the
community aggregating into the mil
lions: and the conservative, thinking
element. whether working men or en-
ployers, has grown sick of it and longs
for peace.
1t is fortunate that with all the un-
rest that has prevailed there has been
little public disorder. The strk-
crs. with but few exceptions,
have been law-abding and or
derly, and they will remain so.
More than that, the mischief-loving
hanginG-on class which habitually Sc
lects strike seasons as times for max
ing trouble will now hesitate to repeat
the scenes of anarchy which attended
the brief street car strike. Scranton's
recently acquired notoriety as a hot
bed of labor troubles and a place
where enterprise is hlacklisted will
speedily disappear because, in the first
place. it is unjust: and because. sec
ondly, the protection of property and
good order will be enforced impair
tally.
But ii is timely for the peace
loving sentiment Of the community to
assert itself. There has been too much
industrial strife and discord. The in
terests of all call for harmony and
good will.
