.'The papers have had considerable to say
about my presence in Jefferson City, es-
pecially in connection with the introduction

or three bills. one was the Juvenile Court

to present the proposed amendments to the
Ne:bit law, which are now being prepared
by the committee of thirty-flve in ST. Louis

to be used as tools OF any one.
