The Juvenile Court Law.

Montgomery, Ala, June zS' ASoo'
 Permit me to add a few words to the timely editorial contained in your ls- sue of today in reference to the estap- lishment of Juvenile Court Law Tn Alabama. An eminent Italian student of penology summerizes the situation in a well-known sentence, Tt Is easier and cheaper to prevent crime than to other, Children are the most valuable assets in our country today; they are the men and women of tomorrow. Wlth- out them there Is no possibility Of con tinuing development CT carrying nnd on in1 through neglect to grow up without moral training or habits Of industry Is not only a direct loss, but will inevit-
 The results that have been obtained in States where a desirable law has been enacted conclusively demonstrate the efficiency of the Juvenile Court. In Illinois. Colorado and other States where the law has been framed care fully and with mature deliberation, not only are the jatls being freed of the young offenders, but the care that has hitherto been directed to their educa- tion is now bestowed on the older in- mates. In our own State, though With out constituted authority, tentative plan Is belng attempted, and the re- suits that have crowned the laudable efforts of Judge Reagan of Birming- nam attest Ine OL NtACH n law when legalized. The crude meth ods that have been adopted in that city give evidence of what we can hope to do when a State law shall have been enacted. It is, therefore, sincerely to be hoped that nothing will be left un
 done by the Bar Association and other agencies that can nid in enacting such a law of Alabama. In conclusion, per
 init me to quote the ringing words Of a speaker at a recent International Prison Congress: If my voice were strong enough to be heard in every cor ner of the world, would cry: Let us fly to 1t; not because 1t suffers and # Is cruel to let innocent and defenseless beings suffer; not because 1t is sad to see that which God has made so beau tlful fading away; let us fly to 1t to prevent crime from making its recruits there and save society by preserving childhood free from corruption and suf- fering. Let all our mental energy, all the compassion and tenderness of our hearts, all the refinement. the skill and ingenuity of our charity. all these God given gifts he lavished henceforth on noor and forsaken childhood. The pro lection of childhood should be the sov- ereign charity in all centuries to come.f 5UstAcSS

REvrvINa A FAILURE.

Some days since The Advertiser had some comments on the proposed action of the street authorities of New York on the paving matter, in winch it was stated that 1t was determined to put down wood pavements on ten or eleven down. town streets as an experiment. Our comments were principally based on the great waste of wood that would follow if such pavements should prove to be e success. Now. however. a cor respondent of The New York Mail files A protest against wooden pavements, declaring that they are the most tn- healthy pavements there are." and adds:
 | was in Paris when the pavements on the Champs Elysees were taken up-at disinfected, the odor was such that no one could go within block or two blocks of the pavement. And to think that after all this experience of years New York Is about to retreat to such an insanitary, useless, horrible experi- ment, which thirty years ago was found to be q failure.
 The fact that the old-style wood
  known and we do not see how it could well be otherwise. 4 pavement made of any of the woods of this country. subject to a constant succession of wetness and dryness, the recipient of all kinds of refuse and garbage that falls on it, must of necessity be a menace to the public. Those who proposed to lay the wooden pavements in New York had a process, so t was claimed, that would render the blocks almost equal to stone. and it may be that this would to a great degree obviate the unsanitary nature of such paving. Taking the most favorable view of 1t that we can we are surprised to find the chief city of the Union going back more than a generation to revive q practice which has been so generally condemned. Let us hope, fin the in- terest of the timber supply of the coun- try. that this experiment will not be a success.

IT sunPnrsEp THEM.

That old couplet of Robert Burns, to the effect that
 The best laid schemes of mice and men Gang aft aeiey,
 had c notable exemplification in Phila- dsiphia. The machine or organization controlled by Durham, McNichois and their gang drought itself invuinerable. Ths Mayor was it's own selection and was believed to be under It's control ft had an agreement with the Gov ernor. controlled the Legislature and believed itself absolutely in power in the city. The Record says of 1t;
 Tn the contracts, from which 1t got the greater part of It's poodle. u com trolied every stage of the process; psss;,,,s. ous, used money and patronage to secure the obedience of smaller men: they got their tools elected to the Couri< eiis; they deternnined the selection .hao nsa ot the means of rewarding every man who served them and of punishins every man who resisted them: they determiIi. ed the selection of the men ar wno an snoI,o 9sho should calculate the sums of money to be paid to them. Could the city fail to be robbed right and left under such circumstances7
 Of course 1t is no wonder that the city was robbed, nor Is it surprising that the moving and controlling parts of this machine considered themselves so firmly entrenched that they thought disaster or & blockade was simply im- possible They considered themselves absolute masters of the situation, yet when Mayor Weaver turned turtie,' as 1t were. they found to, their un- speakabie surprise that their house was built on the sand. No child's house of cards ever gave way more com pletely than did this castle of the Philadelphia grafters, boodlers and thieves, when a really honest and de- termined attack was made on it. It must have made their heads swim to be thus sent up in the air with noth- ing to hold to.

Attracting Immigrants to the South.

%@tltlInpre sun.
 The Railway World notes apprecia- lively the combined efforts Of the Southern railways and other southern organizations to attract immigrants 10 the South and gives facts showing the great success of these enorts The West, 1t Is known, was built up and ty-nve years ahead of time. Not only were the Western railways construct paying traffic, but the Western States were peopled repidly by the activity of agents of the railways in melting and guiding Europe's emigration move ment. The South's turn is now com ing. What with State immigration bu- reaus and the concerted work of the Southern Railway, the Seaboard Air Line. the Illinois Central, the St Louis and San Francisco, the Atlantic Coast Line and the Louisville and Nashville, the South is now gaining yearly by the influx of a useful class of citizens, The Louisville and Nashville says The World.

It is encouraging when city, espe- cially a Pennsylvania city, has a public official who has a conscience and lives up to it. For example. a Philadelphia company tried to sell some inferior building material to the city of Chester but the City Engineer turned 1t down with the remark: The poorhouse will be my home before recommend ma terial that I know is not worth buy ing" Now. if that Engineer had been "easy' he would have colluded with the Philadelphia firm and received a real nice rake-off for his part of the Job. Such an official is causing expres- sions of surprise. especially from the Philadelphians. to whom graft and bri- bery are the usual factors in all trades or bargains for the city. They don't understand an honest offlcial. though Mayor Weaver appears to be giving them some lessons.

The accept ance of Mir. Wallace's resignation means that the firm of Taft 6 Shonts will proceed to build a lock canal as speedily as American railroad energy can do the work-say, in about five or six years. To this complexion have we come at last. Mir. Wallace will be bowed out. and the Shonts-Taft policy will be bowed in, and lock canal is all we will get.

We do not care how much money Booker Washington can draw from Northern philanthropists to spend in and around Tuskegee. Every time he can draw money from the North to spend on improving the condition of the negro, he helps to assist that much and we would be glad if he could get ten millions a year.

That the arts of the grafter are not confined to Uncle sams dominion is evident from some disclosures recently made concerning operations in con- nection with the purchase and sale of army stores and supplies in the English army. For example. one nrm bought oats from the sales department, of which an over supply was reported and the sale ordered. The firm bought a quantity of them at eleven shillings per hundred pounds and then sold them back to the supply de- pertinent at about eighteen shillings. It was a kind of endless chain busl- ness, and the worst feature of 1t was that army officers were mixed up with the scandal. They have evidently been studying American methods.

IT IS NOT SURPRISING.

When all the circumstances are fully understood and considered, entirely aside from any fear of disease which he might bs expected to feel. the resigua- tion of Chief Engineer Wallace from the Panama job Is not surprisiugl He has the reputation of being a fine en- gineer, and we presume he deserves it. He has heretofore had charge of some important enterprises and opera. tions in which he was free to follow his own judgment. He is practical business man, and as such is aecustom- ed to lay out his plans and follow them.
 Under all the circumstances 1t is not surprising that he should become res- tive under the red tape system obtain ing at Washington. and which has ham, pered all his movements from the be- ginning. He has had no freedom of action or of judgment Not only has he been dictated to and directed in all his movements by the administration, but the Canal Commission has insisted on bossing all his move- ments He could make no con. tracts, buy no supplies or do any thing else according to his own judg- ment. It would have been a wonder if he could have borne so much inter- ference and bossinE. and it will be another wonder if they find another competent man who will submit to such methods
 Of course a great government like that of the United States must have and employ system in its affairs, but there Is such a thiing as too much cir cumlocutton and red tape. and especial ly is this true of an enterprise in which 1t must largely be left to an expert to bs his own boss and follow his own methods. The Indianapolis Sentinel refers to the meddling and interference of the administration and the canal board. and adds:
 The result was that friction speedily arose between the board and the en- giheer. President Roosevelt took the boards side and forced Wallace to re- sign. There Is an intimation that President Shonts. appointed only a short time ego, may md himself Eit m m that he will retire. Altogether. there appears to be a large amount of stub born bungling in the management of the canal problem. Some of the bung- ling, indeed much of 1t, may be traced to President Roosevelt. He does not seem to have a clear comprehension of the things that are necessary to make the undertaking the success it should be His first board was a dismal fall ure, and there Is no assurance that the new one is any better. Apparently everybody is dissatisfied, and demor- alfzation in the canal district Is not improbable. In this condition of things it looks like it would be wise to find some one who knows how to construct the canal and then let him do it.
