PAIORS EARLY CONVENTION
Chairman Saulsbury Will Soon Call Meet
ing Of lemacratIc State COMMITTEE

Willard Salisbury, chairman Of the
Democratic State Committee when
spoken to this morning about the reso-
luton of the Kent County Democratic
Committee favoring an early State con-
vention, said that he had not received
la copy of the resolution, but that
doubtless Il would reach him in a few
DAYS. and within a week or ten days
he would probably call a meeting of
the State Committee to consider the
resolution and take up the question OF
time for the Democratic State Con
vention.
Mr. salisbury stated that there was
no difficulty i'm Kent or Sussex county
as to any time which may be fixed
upon for a State convention. because
the county organizations were not
bound by fixed written rules as TO the
dates of their county primaries and
conventions. In New Castle, however
it is different. and the county primaries
cannot be held until September Mr..
Salisbury requested that as much pub
licity as possible be given to the desire
shown by the Kent County Committee
for an early convention. in order chat
Democrats throughout the State might
discuss it. and indicate to the mem
bers of the Democratic State Commit
tee what the general desire OF the
party is as to a comparatively carly
convention.
The Democratic State Committee is
composed OF the following members.

Few children are born criminals.
and should not be treated as such.
It is not seemly that boy of tender
age should be subjected 20 the same
course OF eYamination as the hard
Ionod aggressor, yet it is an utter inn
possibility for the busy judge of a
municipal court to give to it the con-
sideration and time which the case OF
the youthful offender would demand.
While many people here and else
where favor the juvenile court,
there are others who strongly oppose
it, Curiously enough. their argument
against it is along the same line Of
fered by those who favor t. they
claiming that boys of tender years are
imprisoned with old offenders on
trivial charges which would not be
sanctioned in other courts, and that
the influence Of the older prisoners is
harmful The most strenuous of these
opponents is John II. Fow, Of Phil
adelphia. and he went to Pittsburg TO
appear before the Supreme Court. of
Pennsylvania. to argue that the juve-
nile court has no right to exist The
