EVERYBODY'S BEATS. S."

Dame Fortune seems to smile on the efforts ot the young men who are at the helm Of Everybody's Magazine. They have scored third magazine beat" in the September number. with q character study of Joseph Pulitzer. who. a the moment, is the most con- spicuous personality before the Ameri- can public.
 Their first scoop was an article on Thomas Wallace Russell and the Irish Land Sill, in June. when everyone was talking of the new era for Ireland.
 The August issue was Cn the news stands d few days after the Pope's death with an article. by Marion Craw- ford, on 'Pope's Leo'S Successor" It was the expression On the subject of the man best fitted to give the facts. and the degree to which it was quoted in the newspapers shows the value set upon it by men who are the real judges of timeliness.
 The article on Joseph Pulitzer is peculiarly illuminative of the mans s character ard his ideals of newspaper making. In the light of his present eX- traordin2ry endowment of T College of Journalism at Columbia, it affords an interesting index to the line of thought of which that is the continuation.

THE REFORM SCHOOL
Judge F. R. O'Brien of Tombstone
 Elected Superintendent.

The governors office has been noti- fled by the board of trustees of the ter fitorial industrial school at Benson that F. R. O'Brien, of Tombstone, has been selected superintendent of the in stitution which will be opened on Oct. l. The members of the board are A. H. Emanuel of Tombstone, Ben Heney of Fairbank and H. Buehman oi Tucson. None of the other officers or attend ants of the school have been selected.
 The superintendent is the probate judge of Cochise county. He was con- nected with the reform school at Whit tier, Cal. for four years and before that he had great deal of experience with these remodeling institutions.
 The only objection that was ever raised to a reform school in this terri tory was that on account of the sparse populatio it would be difficult to get enough pupils to make it worth while to run it. The indications are now that there will pe no scarcity of inmates. Almost every county has made applica- ton for room for one or more boys. -1lere are in the penitentiary twenty boys under age of twenty-one, many of whom will no doubt be removed to the industrial school. It is likely that several will matriculate from this county.
 The boys who are in the penitentiary can he transferred to the reform school by the governor for such terms as he sees fit. so that they are not longer than the terms of the original sen- tences. Courts having power to com init persons for felonies and msde- meanors may send boys to the school. heprcbate judge is also given juris- diction in certain cases. Tho parents or guardians of incorriga ble boys and girls may apply to a committing mag istrate who shall give an examination to which shall be admitted only the parents or guardians and the officers of the court
 Tie law originally made the maxi mum age for admission to the school sixteen years. That was amended by the last legislature so that in the dis cretiOn of the court pupils under age of twenty might be sent to Benson. That change was made in favor of Dan Gates. the youthful burglar of Thay- CTS hardware store who professed re- pentence and enlisted the sympathy of all who heard of his case. Gates was, he said. little more than sixteen.
 He was tried in January and con- victed. The reform school was not completed and he was sent to Yuma for six months. A part of the time he had spent in the county jail was deducted from that, so that he was at Yuma only a little more than two months He is now in the coIlutrv
