JETENILE CRIME IND EDUCATIO


One case in police court recently sug-
gests an opening for reform along GER
tain lines of educational work. 1t was
developed in the trial that boys who
were under arrest for stealing brass and
copper from railroads and other places
were encouraged in their pilfering by
an itinerant dealer In junk, who for
some reason is not yet apprehended. 1t
is not so much with the fact that the
boys are guilty of theft as with the con-
ditions under which they are allowed
to become the tools of men who lead
them into crime that the public is in
terested.
Compulsory education does not seem
to meet the question. 1t is given as the
result of experience by Omaha teachers
that large per cent Of children attend
ing the public schools apparently reach
the limit of their capacity for absorbing
mere text book information at about
the sixth grade, and that many of them
drop out of school either at that point
or soon after. What they suggest as
remedy Is that some plan be devised
whereby these children, whose faculties
seem to be limited in one direction, be
interested in another. TO the end that
they may be given an education that
will be useful. The plan toward which
this thought most readily tends is that
of manual training 1t is argued that
II the physical faculties of the boy or
girl can be engaged when the mental
faculties seem to have become satiated,
that the real nature of the child will be
aroused and the foundation for useful
ness in society will be laid. These chill
dren seldom reach the high school;
therefore manual training or education
along similar lines must begin lower
down in the grade list TO be of any
benefit To them. Two at least of
Omahas grade schools We're designed
to have such departments TO meet these
cases. but SO far no attempt has been
made to put them into operation.
Omaha Is no worse of than any other
large city in this respect, but that is no
reason why an effort should not be made
to stop crime by cutting off the supply
of young criminals.

RECOGNITION OF THE MULE.
Popularity aud Achievements OF the
Great American Cracker jack.
naltipore Neuc

That the American mule has succeeded in
kicking his way into international recogni-
tion through his value as an integral part
or war equipment Is not surprising to those
who have held any acquaintance at all with
his remarkable powers OF aggression and his
indomitable ability to have his own way,
but the progress which this recognition
has made since the breaking out Of the
Boer war has gone a little farther than
even the most ardent advocate of the utility
OF the mule has dared to expect. II has
gone so far as to call for Official recogni-
tion at Washington, where a bulletin has
been issued covering the statistics OF the
mule population OF the United States and
showing how rapid has been the growth OF
the value of and demand for this animal in
the last few years. Memphis, which was
at one time the great mule city OF the
United States, has been compelled to sur
render that honor TO Louisville. The city
OF Philadelphia makes a better showing
for mules than either New York or Chi
cago, but New Orleans comes very near to
getting into the Louisville and Memphis
class by returning a mule census OF 3,40O
Baltimore has total mule population OF
l,OOO-eNclusive OF the democratic ring poll
ticians, who are stubborn enough to persist
in their effort to blind the people TO the
true reason OF their movement for the
calling OF an extra session OF the legisIa-
ture.
The total value OF American mules ex-
ported to foreign countries in 1899 was
s5l6,0OO, while the figures for 1900 show
total valuation OF s3,9l9, ,00O--an increase
due to the growing demand for the mule
for use by the field forces OF the British
army in the Transvaal campaign and else
where in the service OF foreign troops He
is trusted by foreign military experts for
his hardihood, relied upon for his steadness
Of habit and exalted for his patience and
endurance, 1t is quite plain to be seen
from the tenor of the reports about him that
he has been much better treated abroad
than at home There has been no occas sion
to discard him because OF the unwonted
activity of his heels, nor has his voice,
raised in plaintive monotones at the break
OF dawn and the shutting down OF eve. be-
trayed the position OF his army TO the
enemy and made the rest OF weary soldiers
troubled session and nightmare thing.
This growing respect for the mule abroad
must naturally inspire increasing respect
for him al home. He is worth more any
day than the average horse, and those who
seek hereafter to decry him will make
themselves vulnerable TO the charge OF
lack OF education,

TIE CrRAN CnNSrtrrTlON.

The Cuban constitutional convention
has done well in providing for universal
suffrage. There was some apprchen-
sion that the Spanish element in the
island would be Disseminated against
and that those who participated in the
revolution would be specially favored.
This was urged by n portion of the poll
ticians, but n majority of the convention
arc dominated by the true republican
principle, so far at least as the suffrage
is concerned. The only discrimination
in favor OF the revolutionists IL in the
interest of General Gomez, whose great
services to Cuba certainly entitle him
to such consideration.
The qualifications for president are
citizenship by birth or naturalization
and If obtained by the latter, service
in the Cuban army in the wars for in
dependence for at least ten years. This
Will make Gomez, who Is "A native of
San Domingo, eligible for the presi.
dency and 1t is generally thought that
he will be the first chief executive of
the new republic The president of
Cuba will have greater power than
the president of the United States, the
government provided for being more
centralized However, the power of the
president to suspend the laws and the
departmental and municipal govern.
ments is strictly limited, while the con-
gress is given ample means of checking
any usurpation OF power by the execu-
tive.
In regard to the debts to be assumed
by the new government, It Is provided
that they shall be only such as were
incurred in aid of the revolution from
February, 1895. Whether or not it is
intended to include the obligations in
Cured in behalf of the island by the
United States military government does
not appear, but the constitution franz
ers have given fair warning to all the
holders of Spanish securities issued in
prosecuting war I'm Cuba that they can
expect nothing from the new republic.
They must look to Spain for the pay
hardly necessary to say means that the
money paid for the securities is lost.
The constitution contains no refer
encc to the relations hereafter to exist
between the Cuban republic and the
United States, notwithstanding the fact
that in the order from Washington for
the election and organization of the
constitutional convention it was spe-
cifcally stated that the convention
should provide in the constitution for
the relations to exist between the gov
ernment of the United States and the
government of Cuba. The proposition
to do this met with little support in
tho convention, the majority holding
that the question of the relations to
exist between Cuba and this country
was not proper matter to be embraced
in the constitution, but should be left
for determination until the new govern
ment was organized. 1t remains to be
seen what view our government will
take of this when the Cuban constitu-
tiOn is submitted to it.
There is favorable promise that the
Cuban constitution will be ready for
submission to the president and con
gress before the close of the session.
In that event the projected republic
may very soon take a place among the
independent states.

English society people are already
beginning to speculate upon the effect
of the ascension of new ruler. They
are fondly hoping that the daylight
receptions, which the age of the late
queen made necessary, will be discon-
tinued and the more brilliant evening
functions substituted. The new king
may make some changes in the social
realm, but the smart set is likely to

BUDGETS or BtG NATIONS.
Expansion In Expenditures of th,
Lending EoNcrnmcnts

New York World.
II is interesting to speculate on what the
annual expenditures Of the leading civilized
nations will be at the end or even at the
middle OF the present century II they keep
on increasing at the pace set by the nine
teenth.
Great Britan's imperial government is
now spending money. not including Roer
war expenses, at the rate OF over $500. .0OO.-
600 year That is an increase Of 400 per
cent for the last century and OF 81 per cent
since 1871.
France under the great Napoleon and
Nhen ne was carrying on his stupendous
wars was spending total OF s225 900 600 a
year For 1900 its expenditures, in a time
OF peace. were almost four times as great
Its population has increased less than 40
per cent since 1915, while its annual budget
has increased 400 per cent
The German empire. created only thirty
one years ago, has nearly treblcd the total
OF its annual expenditures in that short
time. In 1900 they footed up nearly siO0.-
900. 900.
Russia's ordinary expenditures have risen
from little over 5000 oOO, 200 in 1877 to
100000. 900 in 1900, and this takes no ac.
count Of the 81 900 900 900 added TO its vast
railroad debt within the last four years
Nor is the United States behind in the
matter OF expanding expenditures. For
many years past the federal treasury has
been paying out for pensions alone twice
as much as the total annual expenditures
OF the government down to 1850 Since
President Buchonan's time our yearly ma
tional expenditures have increased from less
than SIo.ooo.0o0 to over $500. 600 900 That
is to say. they have been multiplied seven
times while our population has been
multiplied two and half times
IL this enormous increase in the yearly
disbursements of all the leading govern
ments of the world represented only or
chiefly money spent to build railroads, dig
canals. improve harbors, maintain public
schools and promote the arts and sciences.
the growing burden OF taxation which IT
implies might be borne with patience. But
II mostly represents in European budgets.
and very largely in our own, money spent
In war and in preparations for war. And
all war is waste.

SPANISH WAR CLAIMS.

BY the seventh article of the treaty
of peace between the United States
and Spain this government agreed to
adiudicate and settle all claims of cti-
zens of the United States against Spain.
From statement made in the house
few day sago by Representative Hau-
gen of Iowa, who is a member of the
war claims committee, it appears that
already 800 claims have been filed in
the state department, amounting in the
aggregate to S3S,00o,0o0 Mr.. Haugen
said he was advised that single firm
in the city of Washington holds claims
aggregating upward of S50,0O00OO. 1t
thus appears probable that when all
the claims are filed they will amount
to at least 800, 100000.
How many of these claims are just
can only be determined by careful
investigation. Representative Under.
