PARENTS TO BLAME.
How to Keep Good Boys
Always Good.

ed a child in the world handicap
ped with a desire to commit crime;
criminals are made, not born"
These statements were made by
Judge John w. Wofford in an ad-
dress given in Kansas City the
other day at the Prospect Congre.
gational church. The church gave
a mems dinner and after it Judge
Wofford talked on "Young Crimi-
nails"
"The things that lead boy to
crime" he said, "are the things he
learns. Home training or lack of
home training are the things that
count. The moral elevation of
the parent means the moral eleva-
ton of the offspring. If all child
ren were born to conscientious and
moral parents and the child never
saw anything at home that was
not good, the result would be good
people. If all were born to i'm
moral, dishonest people and heard
at home only things that are pro-
fame, vile and wicked aud how To
escape punishment for crime it
would be more than wonderful if
the children grew up to be good
for anything except criminals.
IL am sorry it is true, but |
have had many hundreds of youth
ful criminals before me. ask
them about their parents; whether
they are sober and industrious
people, whether they belong to
church, whether they send the
children to day school and Sunday
school. Among all the boy offend
ers have questioned | have never
found one who was Il regular at
tendant at any day school and
Sunday school. That fact goes to
strengthen the argument that the
fault rests with the parents. Chill
dren of good parents do sometimes
60 wrong, but l have never had
any of them before me.
THE devil is waiting right now
for the parents of the boys that
come into my court as offenders.
The children ! have to deal with
are the dirty, unkcmpt boys who
are not taught to keep their hair
combed or their clothes brushed
There is a heap of virtue in soap
and water. | believe in it a boy
who is an-faced, decently dress

who commit crime. When | sa,

Such things elevate boys pride

IrE.J- RoosrvELT on THE TRUST PROBLEM.
M. M. MURDOCH, Editor.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT ON THE TRUST PROBLEM
President Roosevelt in his Cincinnati speech talked
onlv hard horse sense. His language in being simple
was forcefu from its nominees The plattudes OF the
politician nor the glittering generaltes of the dema-
gue found any place in talk of patriot to the
evelheaded business men Of Ohio BY the recitation Of
well known situations and simplest logic he knocked the
m from under the democratic contention that protec-
a tariff fosters trusts The two greatest trusts OF
This country today are those Of the Standard Oil and the
coal combine yet neither of protected by the
Dneev or any other tariff law If the protective tariff
promotes great corporate enterprises it cannot do so
without fostering lesser interests in the same lines and
without also benedting the individual workmen con
nected with these If the repeal of the protective tariff
law would destroy trusts, would it also destroy the
lesser interests CT the simple company and OF the single
individual The demand federal control to the end
that where combinations of capital prove hurtfu are
employed to oppress they be regulated or otherwise
relocated This federal power control the president
urges should be placed in the fundamental law of the
land should be encompassed by an amendment to the
constitution embodied in such direct and certain Ian
euage as no court could msconstrue Once invest the
congress with the power and then furnish it with the
necessary information adequate laws would soon follow
No wrong against the welfare of the peple as whole
can long withstand the understanding which the light
Of publicity affords Every rightminded man, every cit
izen of honest purpose whatever his party ahliaton
should read that Cincinnati speech correctly
talk, of President Roosevelt.

THE PROSECUTED JEWS.

The action of the United States government in send
ing the sgnaory to the treaty Of Berlin note
demanding that the cruetes practced upon the Jews
in Ronania shall cease is in the nature of depart

find fault with it, because it is prompted by motives of
humanity.

Of the persecution Of the Jews in Romania and refugees
from that country told terrible

must be foundation for these stories when the
leaving the country by thousands to find homes in

One reason why this government felt called upon
to enter protest the fact that these Jews driven
from their country without of support are
finding their TO the United States in large numbers
adding materially to the task assimating foreign
population that is coming to our shores in steady
stream.
What effect the protest will have remains to be seen

is likely that conference Of the signatory powers will

with France Russia would settle the question Of

story Of Napoleon III bearing this point. He once
