HOLDING BAD BOYS IN CHECK.

One of the most difficult and painful
duties of a judge is that which fell to
the lot of Judge Burnham in the dis
trict court in Marshall county in dis
posing of the cases of five boys guilty
of thievery, who We're apparently going
at a galloping gait toward the peniten-
tiary. In holding them under proba-
ton, the judge was wise in making the
parents responsible to some extent for
their good behavior. The home should
be- held to accountability for the good
conduct of children, and this lesson can
not be too earnestly impressed upon all
who are lax or careless. If such a rule
were vigorously enforced. and if chill
dren were required to remain at home
at all hours when not away on some
duty or recreation. of which the parents
have knowledge, there would be fewer
cases of this kind to-look after.
We do not believe the world is grow
ing worse in this respect, when all the
children are taken into view, but there
are many cases of most aggravating
character. Because they are allowed to
have their own way, and not held in
check, they first of all disturb the very
home they should make pleasant: they
disturb the neighborhood; disturb the
schools; in fact, disturb the entire city.
In glancing thru the Iowa press the
writer finds many items showing the
reckless work of village boys who are
not held in check.
There is great deal of truth in the
old statement that to spare the rod is
to spoil the child. Authority must be
exercised, IL not one way, then in an
other to keep the child within bounds,
and to so lead him along the pathway
of life that he shall grow up to be a
law a hiding and useful citizen. But
such authority is not always exercised.
If Judge Burnham's probationary policy
were not brought into use the state re-
form schools would not in short time
hold all the youthful offenders.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE AND LAW.

Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, who is at the
head of the Christian Scientists and
their recognized authority, is showing
wisdom in advising her followers to be
cautious and comply with the law. In
a recent issue of the Sentinel, the or
gan of this cult Mrs. Eddy advises that
until public thought shall become bet
ter acquainted with Christian Science,
the Christian Scientists shall decline to
doctor infectious or contagious dis
eases"
She says that year ago, rather than
quarrel over vaccination, she recon-
mended the individual to submit to the
law, and then appeal to the gospel. She
also advised that contagious diseases
should be reported to the proper au-
thorities.
AS to the list of thirty-five failures
to cure by Christian Science : which
some one pointed out, the editorial
says:
Undoubtedly the list of thirty five
failures within six years recently COM
piled by a critic, is not complete, but

FIFTY mlLLloNs INCREASE IN WAGES.

y statement in regard to gratifying
increase in the wages of Pennsylvania
railroad employees was given on this
page Yesterday, together with the in
formation that other roads had made
similar advances. In confirmation of
ti'is, ore of the officials ef the Wander
Lit system, saeaking of the increase
6f pay granted 70 employees of the
pennsylvania read, said he believed the
I lti0nal pay TO railroad employees
IN eoni tie country this year would
ltilcuat 10 800, 100000. In the Wander
lils system, he said, the advances in
Fay 10 employees this year would
amount TO about s5,ooe000.
The same authority is quoted to show
that the directors of nearly every i'm
portant arilroad in the country have
increased the pay of employees. In the
west the railway companies began the
increases nearly a year ago by starting
a system for the gradual increase of
the pay of their employees on the basis
Of 10 per cent. The Atchison, the Mis-
souri, Pacific, the Chicago & North
western, st. Paul, Rock Island, Bur-
lington, Northern Pacific and Great
Northern took up the question of rails
ing wages by departments one after the
other, and so far as they went they
apparently adjusted the demands of
their men satisfactorily. The recent
settlement of the demands of the train
men and switchmen in Chicago was on
basis of about 10 per cent advance.
This settlement brought out the fact
that the railroad companies had tacitly
agreed among themselves TO increase
wages.
The Lake Shore yesterday announced
ten per cent increase of wages to
|switchmen and has under Amusement
an increase to other employees.
1t is true that the companies have
been doing this, because they are pros
porous and can afford to make such adj
yances, but the spirit of the leaders is
commendable one, and it will stimu-
late a similar spirit among the men
who do the work.

THE FAR WEST FOR ROOSEVELT

The semi -arid regions of the great
west have a special reason for enthusl-
astic endorsement and support OF
President Roosevelt, and it is based on
deeds as well as words. The fact that
President Roosevelt so strongly cham
pioned the cause of irrigation in the
west in his first message to congress,
and that he signed the Hansbrough
Irrigation bill, was largely responsible
for republican success in the west" said
Senator Dubois of Idaho who returned
to Washington last week. "Mr. Roose-
Welt was the first president to recon-
mend that legislation. and the people
gave him credit for it. The people in
sisted that it was the presidents work,
and of course he does deserve much
credit for the stand he took on that
question
there is at least s9,000000 in the treas
ury which, by the provisions of the
Hansbrough bill, must be covered into
the irrigation fund, and which will be
expended in the western states for irri-
cation purposes. In addition to this
expenditure of money within their Dor
ders, these states will profit exceedingly
from the added value of their lands and
the increased production of the fertile
acres which will be made susceptible of
cultivation thereby. The officials of the
geological survey tell the same story of
enthusiasm for the president because of
his urgent advocacy of the irrigation
law, and doubtless Senator Dubois has
hit on one Of the important factors in
republican success this year, and one
which as time goes on will more and
more demonstrate the great interest
which the president feels in the west.
President Roosevelts action was
based largely upon his practical knowl-
edge of the west and it's needs and upon
his belief that it could be greatly bene-
f5ted; and time will show that he was
right in this movement.
