JUVENILE LAWS.

Kansas City Star: The action Of a
convention Of sheriffs in Des Moines
last week In condemning the juvenile
laws in force in different states brings
up again the old problem Of the dispo.
sition of boy offenders. The Iowa gath.
ering represented sixteen states. and
it was the almost unanimous opinion
of the one hundred officers in attend
ance that the leniency that character
ICES all enlightened legislation dealing
with novices In crime does more harm
than good. Leniency, it was asserted
by one speaker, who voiced the senti-
ments Of the convention, gives the real
ly bad boy an extra license in wrong
doing and fails to recall the lad who
has just started upon the downward
path.
The opinions of men whose business
1t is TO deal with lawbreakers must
bear weight, of course, when it comes
to questions of criminology. The gen.
eral public, however, will be slow to
accept the theory of the sheriffs that
in giving the first offender another
chance" an injury has been done to
either the culprit or to society. Too
many officers intrusted with the en-
forcement of the law come in time to
be like Inspector Jayert, the Nemesis

RATHBUN ON PASSES.

Marion Register: The Sioux City
Journal says there is no doubt the
people OF Iowa are we'll pleased with
their anti-pass law" Where did 1t get
it's information? Did the Journal ever
hear of a man refusing pass and step
up to the ticket Office window and buy
his pasteboard unless he was out for
an office and making a grand stand
play as an incident thereto? Can 1t
name prominent citizen Of Iowa now
talking loud and long against passes
who ever refused one prior to 1905?
Does 1t entertain a suspicion that one
OF them has used passes when travel
Ing whenever he could get one? We
do not believe that member Of the
general assembly who voted for the
law ever refused pass prior thereto
unless it was the exception that proved
the rule and we don't believe that a
single member will be better man, a
more upright citizen in the future than
he was before he voted for the meas
ure. Personally we do not care con-
tinental about 1t, but knowing men as
we do, and knowing the anti-pass ad-
vocates as we do 1t is amusing to
either read or listen to what they say.
There never was day from the time
they became prominent in public af-
fairs until within a year or two if they
had been searched the goods would
not have been found on their persons.
Be honest-tell the truth.

OF Jean Vatican. In their eyes the
wrong done the state has not been
righted until the extreme penalty of
the law has been imposed. They lose
sight of the fact that essence of pun
ishment Is not to inf1ict suffering, but
to reform, "once a criminal, always a
criminal" has become an axiom with
them.
These officers readily admit that the
effect is bad of housing boys convicted
of minor offenses with habitual offend
ers and that boy once associated
with such criminals is almost assured
ly hopeless case. In spite of this
fact, however, 100 officers, gathered
from sixteen states, could find room for
arguments against modern Juvenile
laws. Their line of reasoning is hard
to understand. Little is lost if prison
term Is waived In the case of boy
who is undeserving, while the gain to
society if one offender be reclaimed is
not only moral and ethical, but can be
measured in dollars and cents.

DoBsoN's PREDICTION.

Hon. George Dobson, former secre-
tary Of state, who was a factor in car
rying the state of Missouri for Roose-
welt two years ago, says that the knell
of Governor Folk is being sounded,
and predicts his downfall When Dob
son came back to Iowa and said that
Missouri would go republican in 1904
his prediction was ridiculed. When he
says that the end OF the reign of Folk
is near, there are many who will be un-
able to believe it, knowing of his for
mer popularity.
But while the reformer has his pur-
pose and his mission, he also has his
day. 1t is not the fault of the real re-
former that it Is so. 1t is the fault of
the bogus one. 1t is the fault of the
reformer who reforms because reform
ing is popular. The first of a class of
reformers Is hailed with delight The
people like to see the man with the
courage to go against the customs and
practices and change them, when the
change is for the right. Then along
comes the class that rides on the other
fellows pass, as it were. Instead of
walking into the hearts Of the people

climb over the fence and the people
are astounded when they see all who
are within the enclosure that was
meant for the reformers alone. The
voters then take an invoice Of what
has been accomplished by the bogus
reformer, overlooking the work of the
real one. They find that promises
have been made that have not been
kept. They find that what others have
constructed has been torn down and
nothing builded in it's place. They rise
up In their might and say, There is
none good" and that is the end Of the
reformer for while.
But Governor Folk has been q differ
ent kind Of a reformcr than some He
says that the laws should be enforced,
and he enforced them. 1t so happened
that he went abolt enforcing laws that
were not intended for that purpose. If
he had talked more about the trusts
and the railroads and not hit the peo-
pie of st. Louis, Kansas City and ST.
Joseph so hard with their own laws
his popularity would not have been on
the wane so soon. The people do not
want to be hit themselves, they want
to see the corporations hit.

For years the place has been sort

which is something of an indication of
the kind of place it is. 1t is a con-
siderable distance from everything
and everybody that might be objection
able to it, or that it might be objec-
tionable to. On the other hand that is
one of the disadvantages, the distance
from railroad facilities.
Some of the localities that have had
reason to believe the board Of control
would locate the hospital near them
have set up cry. but it is probable
that they are unduly alarmed Tuber-
culosis hospitals are not new any
more, and people have become accus-
toned to them in other, places. One

farther away than Ottawa, ILL.,, and
the only thing ever heard about it is
the good results being accomplished
there. When the state first began To-
eating its hospitals for insane, there
were many objections raised to their
presence, but if one was to be built
now there would be plenty of cities
bidding for it.

HISTORY BRINGS HOPE.

In speaking to Philadelphia con-
gregation DR.. John Balloon Shaw Of
Chicago halted from the rush into the
future and took a glance at the past
and drew his comparison. Muck rak-
ing, grating and other problems Of
public questions under discussion to-
day @fe viewed in the following man
ner:
There is nothing new about the So
cial evil, and there has not been for
5000 years. The degradation of the
modern high society is being talked
about great deal. All that has been
said about Newport life undoubtedly is
true. The adultery, drunkenness, polite
gambling, and bestiality of these peo-
pie is enough to make one shudder
with something like premonition of the
approaching judgment. 1t is confessed
~ as bad as it could be. You say it Is
development Of modern life, but If
you say that you are ignorant of his
tory. Look at old Corinth and Thebes.
Those people were idle, rich, and
spending money in debauchery and, in
later years, in sentimental regrets
They had no serious object in life and
regarded the complications Of love
affair as more interesting than the rise
or fall of kingdom. What could bet
ter describe the Newport set than that?
Is muck raking modern thing?
Yes, if the days of Jefferson and Ad-
ans and Washington are modern.
Who has ever suffered more at the
hands of the purveyor Of public scan.
dial than the father of his country? And
so is graft and plumber. Nothing in
the palmy days of Tammany's graft
can compare with the stealing Of the
good old Romans"
Muck raking is modern IL the days
of Jefferson, and Adams and Washing
ton are modern. History tells us that.
The good men do lives after them, %
but generation or two finds the evil
forgotten. All eyes are on the present
and future. 1t is often well to forget
the past, but not always. It is too oft
en- misrepresented. Sometimes his
tory has to be called up to prove, some
men liars.
To hear some men talk one would
be led to think that all of sudden the
Americans had become viciously cor
rupt. AS men go up and down the
country preaching this sentiment we
set excited. We want to turn the ras-
calls out" right away. Then when we
lay aside the Fourth Of July orations

the press of the vitalizing winds, the

the slave Of discordant, enervating
artificial mode Of living.

The progressive policy of the Ring.
The progressive policy Of Ring.
is again illustrated this season in their
magnificent spectacle. 1.-THE Field of
the Cloth of Gold, The production in
wolves 1900 characters, a ballet of 300
and a singing chorus of 200, requiring
the use Of stage larger than the com
bined stage space in 100 theaters.
More than $500 costumes, the design
and make Of Partisan artists, are en-
ployed, and the scenes of marching
hosts, dancing galaxies, galloping
knights, ecclesiastical groupings and
swiftly changing dramatic incidents
form spectacular display indescriba-
bly, fascinating. The music composed
for this gorgeous production is render
ed by band of fifty selected soloists.
The scenic investiture is elaborate and
ornate, and the spectacle in its entire
ty Is incomparably the most important
and successful historical display ever
shown under canvas. The same pol
icy of enlargement and novelty is to
be seen in the ring performances this
season. Three hundred and seventy
five of the pick and flower of Europe,
America and the Orient in the circus
profession are to be found in the huge
arenic program. Many Of the leading
artists in the riding, acrobatic and
gymnastic numbers have never been
seen in this country before, and are
celebrated in their foreign homes. This
year 1t takes eighty-five cars of double
length to transport the immense equip
ment, horses and personal factors.
When the circus is completely set up
on the show grounds there are twenty
pavilions in all The street pageant on
the morning of show day Is the biggest
and most varied ever organized. The
attraction with Ringing Brothers has
always been UNNECESSARILY superior to
the efforts of all other shows, and this
season it is more diversified, respIen-
dant, novel, sensational and longer
than ever before. The great shows
will be here one day only, Saturday,
July %, and give two performances, at
2 o'clock and s o'clock. Numbered re-
served seats and admission tickets can
be bought circus day at Sargent's drug
store for exactly the same price charg-
ed in the ticket wagon on the. show
grounds.
