THE AMBITION OF A Roy.

What a strange and pitiful per-
version of life is shown in the case
of that Sioux City lad who asked
the police judge the other day to
get away from a brutal father in
order that he might learn a trade
and fit himself for respectable en-
ployment. Stephen Ferdig, age
IA, was wise beyond his years. He
knew that he was being denied the
rights of his youth by a parent who
robbed him of the So a week earn
ed BY hard labor in packing house.
His life seemed odous and degrad-
ing slavery, for he was without de-
cent food, his home was repulsive,
his bed board. and he was brut-
ally beaten. He looked toward the
doors Of prison as the gate of fire.
dom It was a sad paradox, but
not inexplicable
Most boys in like condition would
Weld to their unhappy lot and sink
into vice or crime, throwing the re-
sponsibility. if they thought about
the matter at all on their bad luck.
This boy determined to conquer
mischanee, and in his small knowl-
edge of lifes opportunities saw
only one means Of escape from the
thralldom of a hateful occupation
and still more hateful home. To
win his independence he must ac-
quire an honorable trade. But how?
He had heard that they taught boys
useful trades in state prisons.
So he aspired to the prison as
blissful haven of refuge. Commit
ting some petty offense that would
take him before the court he was I'M
willingly and ungratefully discharg-
ed He wrote the judge demanding
a conviction and threatening that
unless he was sent to prison, to COM
NIT crime that would force the
court to put him there.
Can you blame him? Or is your
outlook on life so narrow that 1t
gives no room for understanding
Of the depths to which this lads
burden has sunk him, so that he
should deem a prison a paradise?

DUTIES OF THE PRESS.

Freedom of criticism is a privi-
lege of our newspapers which is in
no danger of being taken away. 1t
is too essential a part of political
liberty and social and economic
progress. 1t is too essential to free
dom of mind and alertness of men,
tai life. AS every advantage has
its shadow, so personal gossip, mean
detective scandal, and false romance
in criminal news come along as
evils in the train of freedom, and
some papers there are of which the
very existence means both cruelty
and putrefaction. But when the
liberties and license of journalism
come before our courts and juries,
there is seldom difficulty in draw
ing the line that divides abuse from
justice. Today more than ever the
organs of opinion throughout this
land are assured that for honest
and careful comment on men and
acts of public moment no punish
ment is like to fall upon them
Such comment is their duty, for
they are guardians of the peoples
welfare, as surely as are teachers,
statesmen and ministers of the
gospel A high mission is theirs,
privilege. a call, and with every
editor or newspaper owner should
be ever the devotion and RESPONSE
bility which good men feel when
power over others lies within their
hands. The man who uses the vast
power of publicity to harm the pub
lie for his own gain. or recklessly
is as wicked as an immoral clergy
man or venal offce-holder. Little
to enforce journalistic standards can
be done by law Most of it must
be done by the opinions of men and
women, by encouragement of good,
by refusing to cooperate with ILL
Golfers.
