The other day young man, son of a
New Yorker. who left a million dollar
estate, was in court, insisting that he
in fact, any of his debts. He declared
that he had been reared In idleness, in
an atmosphere of wealth. When his
father died he left the son $4,000 year.
and no more. He also left him as help
less as baby, with mind unstocked
with a single thought that would sell
for money In the business world. Mus
clel This young fellow had 1t. but he
couldn't compete with the poorest man
in sewer trench. The $4,000 was moth
ing for a man who belonged to several
clubs and associated with people who
could buy him and sell him and never
feel it. Viewed from a moral stand
point, he is good deal of a coward.
The man who buys things knowing
that he can not pay for them is a
swindler You can not call him any
thing else. If he has anything more
than water In his veins he will work.
lie will dump the clubs and high-liying
associates and get down to business.
He will learn, and find no disgrace In
toll. But what of a man who allows
his son to grow up in idleness? 1t is an
imposition. 1t is not fair. 1t is in
yiting disaster. How easily fortunes
take flight in this country There is
history for 1t. The millionaire of to-
day may be the poor man tomorrow.
The moving van backs up In front of
his stone palace and he goes to live in a
tenement. There Is nothing certain
about riches-not even their paramount
desirability. 1t is often easier to make
money than TO keep it. The youth who
grows to manhood without any greater
idea of the practical side of life than
how to order wine supper or guide
an automobile may have TO wear his
tennis suit In lieu of underwear in chill
December, and the world doesn't offer
him much sympathy when trouble
comes. Every man should teach his
boys to do something. His bank ac-
count isn't a part of the issue. The
real Independence Is called trained abil-
ity. and it is capital that Is always
available. Every man should have
some Of 1t, for when he does need 1t
he needs it badly.

on walls, Smith Jones' OF Warwick
County. Indiana. entered upon suca .
term of detention few weeks ago. He
is at present IL years old, and has been
guilty OF so eold-bl0Oded murder that
the Judge who tried his case, conclud-
ing that he would derive no benefit from
the reform school. sent him directly to
State prison. there to remain for the
rest Of his natural life. II the boy is an
ordinary boy. betrayed into an act OF
murder by sudden impulse, the sentence
passed upon him is certainly unjustifia-
BILE. A certain number of years in the
reform school would probably send him
back to the world a steady and respon.
sible citizen. But II seems likely that
the boy had shown tendencies that
made his reformation impossible. He
was probably what the sociologists call
a degenerate and what medical men
call a ''pervertn with a physical and
moral nature so hopelessly diseased
that the only possible course of action
was to separate him from his fellows
and to put him in place where his de-
PRAYED instincts, altogether ungOvern-
able under other conditions, might be
confined and repressed Ii is life lost,
but the loss seems inevitable. The most
careful Investigation should be made
however. and the boys case should not |
be abandoned until it is altogether hope |
less.

The decision of the Michigan Supreme
Court that bicyelists have a right to
ride their wheels on the sidewalks I'M
der proper restrictions is likely to cause
a great deal of trouble in Michigan
cities and in those of any other State
which adopts the principle OF the decis-
ion. If bicycle riding were permitted
ON the crowded streets In the business
sections of a city it would amount to
an intolerable evil. Their total exclu-
sion from sidewalks of this character is
based upon the principle that the side
walks, as their name implies, were set
apart for pedestrians, and that vehicles
OF any kind which would interfere with
the free and safe use OF ouch sidewalks
have no right to be or to be operated
there, except as such right or privilege
may be granted by the City Council.
City Councils have, we believe, been
usually disposed to extend this privi-
lege TO sidewalks through sparsely set
Ileu ulstfItts ~ =
Gle paths and either no pavement or a
very bad one. All the just claims of
the bicyclist to the use of the sidewalk
when the conditions exclude him from
the street can be far better met, with a
due regard for the convenience and
safety of The pedestrian public. by start
ing with tie principle that he has no
original right there and must get his
privilege from the Council. than by as
Stunning that he has an oroginal right to
go there and that the Council can only
restrict the manner of its exercise. We
do not believe the Michigan decision
viii be followed by the courts of other
States. or that wheelmen generally will
regard 1t with favor. AS a rule they
have no use for sidewalks where they
are liable TO come into collision with
pedestrians unless driven to them by
the bad condition of the street.
