An exchange says the republicans of
Woodbury. county, Iowa, are drafting
a bill to be presented at the next session
of the legislature which will make it a
crime for any candidate for office, state,
county or township, to give to voter
cigar or money, buy him liquor or in
fi4ence his vote directly or indirectly.
The recipient of the gift would also be
liable to punishment. The bill also
limits the expenditure of candidates in
the pre-conven.ion and election cam
paign. A candidate for state office
would be allowed to spend $500, con-
gressional candidate $500, county cam
oidates 500 and township 500. A can
dIdate must file sworn statement of
his expenditures. To get out the vote
by legitimate means, the bill fixes a
heavy poll tax, which would be re-
mitted to those who vote.

writer in the current issue of the Lon.

murder mysteries in the future will be
much easier of solution. The writer,
Paul Chlcnhuth, announces that he
has discovered a means Of Identifying

that the greatest experts in medical

impossible to ascertain positively
whether or not the dried blood was

THE BOY AND THE JUDGE,
Tvpical Instance of n Denver Ju-
dicial Celebrity's Treatment
of Youth.

Seven years ago, before there was
such a thing as "A juvenile court, a boy
of nine was arrested in Denver Tor
burglary. He was brought into the
criminal court, tried as a burglar, Il
ent to Jail. He served a term of years,
during which he learned thoroughly the
trade which he had been accused of ply
ing. When he was released, writes
Frances Maule BiOrkman, in the Amer
lean Monthly Review of Reviews, he
began to practice in earnest. He was
rearrested, recommitted, and, after Il
second term, turned loose again, a more
accomplished burglar than before. A
few months ago he was shot at by the
Denver police in an attempt to escape a
third arrest. He was captured and
brought into the juvenile court, still q
mere child that ought to have been 60
ing TO school.
Judge Ben" b. Lindsey. who presides
over the tribunal, was confronted by 4
bold, hardened and unnaturally sharp
young expert in crime who had mySti-
fed the police by telling half a dozen
different stories. Judge Lindsey began
by telling the boy that he didn't believe
him to he half as tough a Kid as the
police had made him out. and that he
would not he sent up" if he was square
with the court and made a clean breast
Of his trouble with the cops"
This new treatment got from the boy
his real story. He had been led into his
first offense by Il desire for a knife with
which to make a kite. His father re-
fused To get him One. and he broke into
4 barber shop and took a razor. Ac-
cording to the letter of the criminal law,
the boy had committed a burglary. As
there was no ~"juvenilc' law at the time.
he was dealt with as Il professional
houSebreaker. Asked about his first
trial. he said to Judge Lindsey:
Jaw, de guy wild de whiskerS. wOt sat
up on de high bench looked over at Go
cop, and de cop, he says: Dis is a
very bad Kid: he broke into SmitITS'
barber shop and took a razor. and he adj
mitS 1t, yer honor. Den de guy on de
high bench sends me mp widOut givin'
me a clIanrt to say Il void"
Thus, the boy WAS we'll started on n
criminal career before he was ten years
Old. Fortunately, he fell into the hands
If the Denver juvenile colrt. which had
been established in the interval beIweon
his second and third arrest, while he
was still able TO pull up" Instead Of
telling him that he was a bad boy ana
sending him to jail again. Judge Lind
sey told him that he was a "bully fel-
low and set him frce-no probation.
To-day that boy is still going uphill us
last as he was going downhill before.

Mrs. Pinkllam'S Standing invitation.
Women suffering from any form Of
female wcaincSSare invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. a woman can freely talk of her
private illness to a woman: thus has
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never beer
broken. Out of the vast volume of
experience which She has tOdraw from,
1t is more than possible that She has
gained the very knowledge that will
help your ca e. She asks nothing in
return except Your goodwill, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman. rich or poor, is very foolish
if She does not take advantage of this
generous offer of assistance.
If You are i'll, don't hesitate to get n
bottle of Lydia +. Vegetable
Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pink
