There was a man named Jones, liv-

whose ideas of methods in government,

devised a system of enlightened selfish

THE JUVENILE COURT

One OF the most meritorious bills be-
fore the legislature, which passed the
house on Friday under suspension of
the rules, is that relating to special
court for juvenile delinquents. 1t
places the incorrigible youth of the
three chief cities of the state under the
supervision of one of the district court
judges. This special court is called the
Juvenile court, and the judge is invested
with large and discretionary powers.
He can investigate all the circum-
stances of either minor or major Of
lenses when committed by youth. and
dispose of the case in such fashion as
will hold out most hope of reformation
for the delinquent. He can place de-
pendent children in public institutions
or under the charge of persons other
than their parents or guardians. A
probation officer is to act in harmony
with him, and the entire machinery is
designed to save the young who have
gone astray from a life Of crime.
Admirable work has already been
done in this direction in st. Paul
through the municipal court. The
G O b has had occasion to refer sew
eraI times to the splendid efforts Of
Judge Finehout to save children, and
it publishes in its news columns this

juvenile courts in this city, in Chicago.

system has been long on trial and has

LAW AND MORALITY

Mr.. Rogers, in behalf of John D.
Rockefeller, and Rev. Washington
GLADDEN. in their controversy over the
acceptance of a gift of 100000 to the
American Board of Foreign Missions
both seem to US to miss the essential
and crucial argument. They bubble
over the word legal" Mr.. Rogers.
admitting the demand of rebates on
shipments by the Standard Oil, says
that such concessions were entirely
legal before the passage of the inter-
state commerce act. Mr.. GLADDEN., in
reply, declares that they have been de-
manded and compelled since the enact
ment of that law, though disguised in
other forms and under other names.
He therefore tacitly accepts the cri-
terion of moral judgment set up by
Mr.. Rogers, and would seem to base
the case of himself and those who
think with him upon the legality or
1llegality of. method by which the
Standard Oil profits were won.
If this were a case heard in a court
room, where the issue was whether the
defendant had or had not violated the
law, the argument would be pertinent.
But as matters stand it becomes mere
ly typical case Of that confusion be-
tween law and morality, that identifi-
cation of the immoral with the ilIe-
gal which is a stumbling block of So
ciety today. The question raised by
these protestants against the accept
ance of the gift is based wholly upon
moral grounds and must so be justified.
Nobody questions the present legal
right of Mr.. Rockefeller to give the
money or the legal right of its use by
those to whom rendered for advancing
missionary work. But the church. be-
ing essentially a body acting upon
moral and religious principles, and
conformable to the highest moral
standards, cannot for a moment afford
to accept this as basis even for dis
cussion.
The church must be our guide and
leader in the movement away from the
standpoint Of cold legal right and back
to the higher ethics embodied in its
great fundamental doctrines and in
the teachings of it's Author. 1t must
stand against the lower code. 1t is
right and necessary that, in dealing
with the civic authority, in our rela-
ton to the obligations imposed bv
governments, local, state and national.
the orders of that authority, namely
the laws, should be the test of action.
In these courts the only question that
need be asked is. WAS the act Iegal?"
But in dealing with the questions of
social relations, in the wide realm of
duty, in all that pertains to individual
conduct as connected with ethical de-
Eelopment and with fidelity to the
higher religious ideal, that conception
Shows pitifully poor and mean. There
the only test must be, "Was it in
frinsically right?" No matter what
the law says, was it such an action as
q man could commend to his own con-
Science or fearlessly avow in the pres
ence Of God?
= It is wonderful that any clear mind
and high purpose, such as belong to
DR.. GLADDEN., should allow this distfnc-
tion to disappear even for moment.
For, In spite of plentiful evidence In
che other direction, it is nevertheless
one which appeals most strongly to
the educated and thoughtful and also
