Drink and Young Criminals.

The National Conference of Charities
and Corrections in session in Washington
has given prominent recognition to the
terrible increase of criminals. the appalling
growth of the population of our penal in
ference by Mrs. Ophelia Amigh, sunerin,
ttendent of the State home for juvenile Of
tenders at Geneva, H., casts valuable light
upon the important question. Mrs. Amigh
Is reported as saying that every girl now
in the home under her care had one drunk
EN- parent, and in the case of many Of
them both parents were confirmed drunk
ards. Mrs. .Amigh says:
"lf We desire to raise fine stock we
never think of keeping the sires and dams
drunk all or half the time, and yet nearly
all the children who come to US are the
products of such conditions"
She goes on to say:
Zone has to sit but one dav in the Juve-
nile Court in Chicago to realize what it is
that fills all kinds of charitable and penal
institutions in Illinois as well as in other
States. All kinds of crime follow in the
wake of intemperanee, and something must
be done or we shall become worse than
nation of lepers."
Mrs. Amigh mentions one particularly
startling instance which has unfortunately
been paralleled many times. She says:
I'VE had one girl brought to us not
quite fourteen years of age who had deli
rum tremens, and we barely saved her
life. She had drank more or less since she
was ten years of age. What can we say
of the brute in mans form who would
ever give or sell intoxicants to a child like
that?"
1t might not be irrelevant to ask: What
shall we say of the man who legalizes a
traffic the result of which, by centuries of
experience, is known to be such things as
these?

THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF INTEMPERANcE.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox Says: Do Not Har-

Then You Will Have Plenty of Courage,
Hope and Energy.
If you were lost in dark wood and
could not see the moon or the stars you
would not extinguish your lantern, would
you?
If you found yourself in desert you
would not throw away your bottle of

Well then, do not talk about being
driven to drink because you are out of
work and in trouble, or because times are
so hard that your business barely pays

or "hourentary" exhilaration, and causes
you to forget your worries.

The death in Balse of Emile KEN
pin recalled an era that already seems
ancient. Its date was 1889. There
was then in New York City no oppor
tunity for woman to study law; nor
had any woman advocate invaded the
city, though the legislature had in
1886 legalized the admission to the
bar of the gentler sex. Nine. Kempin
graduated in 1856 from the University
of Zurich, but meeting with opposi-
tion in her application for a law pro
fessorship she came to New York City,
where she applied for admission as o
law student at Columbia. Her appli
cation was refused, but she was per.
mitted to attend the classes as wis.
itor." In the fall of 1889 she founded
the first women's law class in the city.
Later she returned to Europe. The
number of women lawyers in the me-
tropolis is not yet great-not so great
proportionally as in Boston or in the
west-but enough have entered the
profession to remove such action from
the realm of experiment. Truly an
amazing change for a single decade
to have witnessed, exclaims the New
York World.
