CHILD POLITICS.
Tho "Junior Republics" Alarm the City
of Detroit.

Tho "Junior Republics" Alarm the City
of Detroit.
Detroit is learning that the Junior
republics" established in the various
schools OF the city, which at first
thought was fine thing. is having
evil results. The mayor protests and
shows a condition that is hardly bene-
ficial. The citizens OF these Junior re-
publics, for example. ballotted recently
on such questions as these: Do you
favor city ownership of the street rail-
way system at the appraised value of
s17. 100000? Do you favor the appro-
priation of $15O,OOO for the erection
of another high school building? Do
you favor expansion? (this involving
discussion of the Philippine ques-
tion) But more than this the Junior
citizens" developed SO rapidly as to
become lobbyists. Children were ask
ed to interview aldermen or school in
spectors to urge appropriations for
schools. In short, the junior republics
did not confine themselves to theory,
but got into practical politics with a
unanimity and dispatch that was
something appalling. The Detroit
Free Press protests that innocent chill
dren that = are already struggling
against ninety-nine fads in learning
to read, write and cipher. ought not to
have their heads further muddled by
an attempt to master the methods and
processes by which the people Of the
country are governed.-Indianapo

The first deed conveying property to
the proprietor of Pennsylvania, Will

property was what is now known as
Lemon hill, including the mansion and
