The grand jury has framed new in
dictment against ex-Mayor Ames. Ad-
vised by the decision of the supreme court
the charge preferred at this time ought
not to fail for lack of compliance with the
law. In reversing the decision Of the
LOWER court the supreme court did not
question the sufficiency of evidence OF
guilt on the general proposition. 1t only
pointed out that the evidence did not fit
the particular form of indictment. With
substantially the same evidence there
would seem to be no excuse for mis-
carriage Of justice on another trial.

stands some form Of special legislation
is needed for the counties.
This Is one change in the constitu-
tion that Is worth considering, but
there are many others, that have been
urged from time to time. Some OF
them have been submitted to the
popular vote, but have failed to at
tract the necessary attention. A new
section on taxation is needed. as every
one admits, but the present system OF
amendment ties our hands. About
the only relief in sight is a new con-
stitution, drafted by a special conven-
ton.
Early candidates for the legislature
are beginning to express their views on
these questions, and all ought to have
something to say about new constt-
tuition. By the way, why should not
more of our state solons follow the
example of the Mankato senator, and
talk these things over with their con-
stituents between campaigns? The
average voter knows very little about
state affairs and issues and even the
most intelligent citizens need to dis
| cuss them and get more intimate ac-
quaintance. Members of the legisla-
| ture, who have had a close acquaint-
ance with problems that need to be
worked out, could awaken new inter-
est in public affairs if they would pay
little less attention to their fences
and meet occasionally with circles OF
their constituents for a candid talk on
such subjects as tax legislation, home
rule, educational laws, good roads, OF
election reforms. It would not take
very much time, and we waste a good
deal.

In In Bishops Carriage, by Miriam
Nicholson, a very successful girl thief. one
who would take high rank as a boy thief
or among more mature members Of the
profession. So when Nance gets into a
tight fax, which she constantly does, she
usually gets out again, and once when
she gets out, and gets out for good, she
takes prize with her that makes it un-
necessary for her to continue the practice
of her profession. 1t is only another theft,
but OF kind that is approved in fiction.
Nance has a quick wit, we say. It not
only enables her to seize opportunities.
but manifests itself in humorous turn,
which sbrightens the pages OF the book
very materially. Then Nance is-well,
pretty. So altogether In reading this book
we are dealing with rather charming
criminal, and one who appeals to our
sympathies, too. for she is hardly to blame
for the circumstances that started her on
her career.

Juvenile Delinquency.

The Minnesota. Congregational club
has secured from Judge Tuthtll Of
Chicago a promise to lecture to that
body at the First Congregational
church in this city next Monday night
on the care of dependent and delin-
quent children. Special invitations
have been sent to members of official
bodies in this city, and it is desired
that there be a large attendance of
those having to do with the admins
tration of affairs.
The matter, however, is one which
should interest the general public, and
it is to be hoped that the audience
room Of that church may be full Of
thoughtful Minneapolitans who can
not fail to regard this question Of
the care Of delinquents among chill
dren as the most important relating
| to the prevention of crime. The sim
| gular fact is that, in our treatment of
crime, we have commenced at the
| wrong end. We are much more ac-
tive in Furnishing than we are in pre-
venting. Tens Of dollars are spent
upon police regulations, criminal
courts, houses of detention and jails,
and upon their machinery for punish
| ing criminals, to where one dollar is
spent upon the prevention of crime.
This is an illogical and absurd policy,
but it is the one which has been pur-
sued, with most unsatisfactory results.
1t certainly is time to begin at the
other end and to expend most Of our
energies upon preventing crime. We
shall not only have less occasion, when
this Is well done, to provide machinery
for the punishment Of criminals. but
we shall have added to the community
large numbers Of useful and produc:
tive citizens, who, thru neglect at the
right time, make shipwreck of thei,
own lives and become burden upor
the community, as we'll as a constant
source of danger. Viewed from the
er to save the boy than it is to restrain
or punish the criminal. There is OIL
course, a higher and worthier view
of this question, and Judge Tuthil
is eminently qualified to instruct the
: people of this community with regard
to it, He has for a number of years
presided over what is known as the
Juvenile court of the city of Chicago
His opportunities for observation
qualify him to speak advisedly on this
subject, and his sympathies are 81
largely enlisted on the side of preven
ton that he will no doubt give to tha
aspect Of the matter the prominence
which it deserves.

farmers can commence ploughing by the
middle of March had better not be in
too big hurry as he may have occasion
to change his tune-Mr Prouty is ex-
pecting big increase in his pension.
We hope he may get it as he is over
eighty and will not want one but few
years, at the longest-The Ladies Aid
at Lewis Jones last week was a very
social affair and fair turnout for
bad day-Mrs R Weidman's son, Of
Owosso, spent few days with her last
week see Mr. Gitchell out this
way occasionally, but their interest is
gone now in the old home and we will
soon see q new man at the helm. I'm
provements will be made in the spring,
that will be pleasing to the neighbors
all around-Mr and Mrs Q G Day are
both confined to the house with very
bad colds on the lungs-Mr Royce
commenced carrying the mail again last
week and tipped over, his horse getting
away from him but was caught after
cutting his leg quite badly-We ex-
pect to see change in the rural routes
next week which will make little
shorter drive for the carriers. This is
as it should be as the routes were certain
ly too long for any one horse to go the
year round-The farmers have never
fed up so much fodder and grain as
this winter, it being so severe and steady
cold it takes much more to keep our
stock in good condition, but we are glad
to have it and only hope it will hold out
until spring.
