Ice Is Iv0ochOvovS.

WhileJ lake Olson was driving across
Foot Lake with q load of sand Satur-
day one of the horses broke through
the ice with his hind legs, and the ice
began to settle. Jake managed to get
out with the rig, but on going back to
the place he found that he could drive
q crow bar through the ice anywhere.
This shows that the fine weather has
made the ice unsafe for travelling.

Do Cigarettes Lead to Crime?

thing TO do with leading a boy into
crime seems to be proven by the fact
that of the ninety boy criminals who
were arrested and locked in Jail with
in the last six months, all but two
were victims of the cigarette habit
Those OF the boys who were induced
to give up the habit were reformed
and, when released on parole, lived
Alright and did well. The few whC
could not be broken of the habit
turned out badly when given a chance
to do better.
These facts are contained in n re
port submitted TO the Mems union
by W. c. Johnson. the probation of
ficer at the county Jail, who has
charge OF the boys in the Jail and the
boys released on parole. This report
covers the six months ending Marcel
81. Mr. Johnson says in his report
that OF the ninety boys incarcerated
in the Jail in the last six months not
one was at work or at school when
arrested, and all but two were cigar
cite tiends.
In handling the boys let out on pa
role by Judge Wofford, Mr.. johnson
divides his work into findingemploy'
ment for them or getting them to &c
to school. in visiting them at their
homes, in having them call regularly
at his office, in finding homes for the
homeless ones, and in Keeping gen.
eral close watch over each ohe oil
them
In his report, Mr. Johnson thanks
the Kansas City Bolt and Nut works,
the Interstate Glass company and
Loose Bros. Cracker company for the
interest they took in the paroled
noys by giving them work, Mr.
Johnson has found homes on farms
for seventeen OF the paroled boys,
and each one OF them is doing well,
and they were known as incorrigible
boys, too. OF the thirty boys pa
rolled in the last three months only
two were re-arrested and these were
again paroled, and are getting along
splendidly. Mr.. johnson mentions
the pool halls as being a great evil
to the boys, giving them a loa6ng
place where they learn quickly to be-
come gamblers and oilers, He pro-
poses to proceed against the keepers
OF these places who permit minors to
play or loaf around. He favors~the
strict observance of the curfew law.
The appointment of probation
officer in connection with the crimi.
nalcourtis due to the Rev. DR.. Henry
Hopkins. The parole system had
been established by Judge Wofford,
who saw the need of someone to look
after the boys and often spoke Of it.
DR.. Hopkins urged this need before
the Mems union, an organization OF
his church, and its members contrib.
uted enough to pay half the salary
OF a probation officer, the county
court paying the other half-kansas

POSTAL CHECK SYSTEM.
Legislation Recommend by
Postmaster General.

Postmaster General.
The annual report Of the post
master general, which WAS issued
last week, shows a deficit Of 81, 937,-
649. 81 in the postofiice department
for the year ending June 80, 1902.
This is u decrease in the deficit
from the previous fiscal year of
$3.50, OF. 06. The largest items Of
expense rs shown by the report
are: Railway transportation, 1884,
700, 600; compensation Of postmas-
tiers, $50, 7S3,9l997; free delivery
service, Sl7,l23,3lO.9O. Among
the recon- mendations for legisla-
ton which the postmaster general
submits for the consideration of
congress- is one favoring the postal
check system. On this point he.
says:
Millions OF our people live more
or less remote from any postoifice,
and a very large proportion OF
them are not able to buy money
orders or bank drafts without great
inconvenience. 1t is not unrea-
sonable to expect from the govern.
ment that it will provide an easy,
convenient and safe method to
transmit email sums, say 81 or less
in amount, without putting tn.
sender to the Inconvenience and
expense which now obtains in the
purchase of q draft or pOstofiice
money order.
II urge upon congress the i'm
portance of passing some law SO
that our people may have the ad-
vantage Of it at as early date a.
possible. Hundreds of thousands Of
letters carrying small amounts in
silver or postage stamps are trans
mitted every year through the
mails. These letters are a constant
temptation to those handling them,
as it is easy to identify letters in
closing currency.
with the extension OF the rural
free delivery service to the remote
parts of the country the use of the
proposed postal checks would &C
far to provide the relief so urgently
demanded, as it would convenient
ly serve those sections of the coun'
try not heretofore covered by OF
adjacent to money-order Offices OF
the banks Of the country"
