CHILDREN's COURT.


chlldren's court Is an experiment
tried In Chicago, and found so satisfac-
tory as TO prompt New York to fol-
low the example. These courts are for
minors, Under 10 years Of age, charged
with crime. They are taken to these
ohlldrens courts instead of TO the vari-
Gus police courts
The plea Is that under this arrange
mcnt the children are protected against
the concentrating influence Of older
criminals. Under the new order OF
things children may be taken TO the
police courts for only two reasons
when 1t Is necessary for the minor to
give bail and TO answer to murder
charges
Another feature Is this that the chile.
rem accused are at all times In charge
o. the Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty TO Children, IL arrests are made
during the day the youngsters will be
taken TO the chlldren's court at once
while II the arrests are made after
court hours they Will be taken to the
soclety's building aud kept until the
court opens next morning. The jus
tees, however, win make every effort
10 get through with each days bust
ness regardless OF hours
The motive underlying this arrange
ment Is good and there Is no doubt thrt
many a youthful offender may, by
wise treatment, be saved, at the outset,
from the paths Of vice and crime, But
NJ the same time II is sad reflection
on the moral status of our age, that
courts for children" are called for as
an addition TO the machinery Of justice.
Why are not parents. or guardians, al
the courts that are needed for ohildren2
The very fact that special courts are
needed for youthful offenders shows
that q reformation is called for, that

well-furnlshed home, though his earn
lngs do not exceed an average Of $500 a
year. A few days ago In Nantlcoke,
town few miles south Of Wilkesbarre,
Pole told the writer in the Transcript
that he had just paid $4,000 for piece
OF ground. He already owned consid-
cradle property in the town. Yet TWEEN
iy-three years ago he came, a mere boy,
into the country with but ten cents in
his pocket. After some years Of work
In the mines he invested his money In
business. Most OF my race" the man
said, own their own homes. The strike
does not affect them much, for they
have always been saving part of their
earnings" And, in figure somewhat
obscure. he said, pointing to the rear
wheels Of his wagon. Some men al

hind, too, they can save some, II they
want TO-"
II Is quite interesting TO look upon
these miners, as they are seen by their
friends, They are engaged in hard
struggle and are therefore In public
view The miners realize that they
need better wages, IN order to enable
them TO educate their children and OBJ
tain more enjoyments Of life, They
think they can obtain this, by the
means they are now employing, in the
absence OF an arbitration tribunal.
Public sympathy Is strong for them, as
long as they are acting within the
boundaries of law

AN IMPORTANT CONGRESS-.

We have received an invitation to at
tend the National Irrigation congress,
which Is TO be held October 9Th 20 9th
1902, at Colorado Springs. We have
already noticed an article in the Gar
den Of the Gods Magazine" published
at that place, written by former Salt
Laker Mr. c. u. Mainland, q gentle
man well known in Utah business cir
Giles. on THE Retaining OF the Arid
Lands" 1t is a subject with which he
is thoroughly familiar but he quotes
copIously from other writer's. In support
of the passage by Congress OF the Irri-
cation act
The purpose Of the article Is 10 Gre
ate interest In the approaching session
Of the National Irrigation congress.
which win be the tenth meeting Of that
body; the FIRST was held IN Salt Lake
City. II is important that every section
of the arid region shall be properly rep
resented there.
Colorado Springs Is a pleasant spot
to visit and Is noted convention city,
II may not be 50 attractive TO persons
accustomed to the use Of stimulating
beverages as It is 10 temperance people,
for the sale Of intoxicants Is strictly
prohibited there. and It Is believed that
the restriction Is something more than
mere provision or edlct. But II ought
to be an attractive place to the pro-
moters OF irrigation and the use of
water for the reclamation Of the dry
lands Of this continent.
We hope Utah will send her proper
ton Of delegates to this convention, and
that this will be the rule in all the
States and Territories interested in pro-
curing governmental aid for the recla-
nation of the vast areas now barren
and desolate, which can be made fruit
vi and beautiful. " the necessary meas
ures are taken to store and distribute
water so as to bring It under cultiva-
ton, and thus make possible thousands
upon thousands Of homes where now
there Is naught but desolation. Let the
congress at Colorado Springs be made
the most important OF the gatherings of
the friends Of irrigation in this coun-

THE STRIKING MINERS.

II Is quite generally assumed that the
miners in the anthracite region are OF
a low character, rough and reckless,
and foolish in their expenditure Of
money, They are often represented ~
law-defying foreigners and whenever
riots occur In the region, II is charged

Sons are deepened by magazine ar
TITLES setting forth the alleged filthy
surroundings Of the MINER and the
narrowing conditions Of his daily life.
To these representations a contribu-
tor to the Boston Transcript replies IN
detail. He points out that the foreign
clement OF the miners Is not more than
10 per cent, and he denies that they.
az a rule, are rough and reckless. At
one time, he says, the Huns and Poles
were hated, but now, after twenty
years residence in this country, the
better nature has commenced to as
cert itself Ii is true that in some re-
speets, some Of them cling to old ways
but generally they have become Amei-
oanized and some have amassed small
fortunes. They are also said to be
very much inclined to religious prac-
tlces. Very soon after a colony Of them
settles In q mining town, a church,
usually Roman Catholics built. Ma
tive priests are on the ground to look
after their spiritual interests. On 1.

other foreigners among the miners,
such as those from Wales. ireland. etc,
are shown TO be Of very high class.
They show their character by what
they are doing In the line OF music, de-
batting societies and similar means OF
enjoyment and improvement Instanc-
es ct thrift and economy are said to
be common. Many a young man Of
thirty with a small family has paid on

a Kingston dispatch states that the
Soufrlere craters have been active for
several days, Another eruption Is ex-
pected, and there is much anxiety
among the Inhabitants OF the island.
Word also comes from Ohio, from
cambridge, OF the appearance OF smoke
and sulphurous gases from Copperas
mountain. The dispatch states that the
mountain has been smoking since the
first eruption Of Mont Pelee, and that
now the slate In the mountains has be-
| come hot and some of II has assumed
dun red color, from the action of the
heat.
a report from st. Petersburg tells Of
repeated violent earthquakes through
| out the entire eastern portion Of Turk
estan. Numerous houses have been de-
stroyed, and many lives were lost.
Such reports remind one that the
earth IS, after all, not safe dwelling
place. Its surface is subject to con-
slant changes and notifications. Floods
threaten at the coast fire In the noun
tain regions. and cyclones on the
plains. Where is there an absolutely
safe spot?

coasts of the Baltic are said to be sink

Once in while catastrophe takes
place. Such was that of Lisbon in the
year 1855, when 10000 persons are said
to have persisted In few minutes.

Some time ago the story was told Of
a telephone girl who won husband by
the sweet tones In which she responded
TO calls over the wire. Now It is said
another telephone girl has made her
fortune, because of her promptness and
accuracy. A customer was attracted
by these qualities and became o sutton
and husband. He never had to call
twice. never experienced hello" wait
and was never afflicted with the wrong
number. Such facts prove that It some
times pays to cultivate the good quail
sies that are but too often neglected.

One OF the alleged good effects OF the
formation Of trusts, we were told by
some very distinguished writer's, would
be TO make employers get into closer
touch with the workingmen, who would
be their auxillaries In their scheme Of
reducing the cost Of production. The
reluctance exhibited by j. p. Morgan
TO interfere to bring the coal miners
strike to close negatives this assump-
ton and clearly establishes that the
workingmen win not be assisted by the
trust magnates in any movement
which threatens to reduce the earnings
