Juvenile Restraint.

The suggestion of the superintendent of
police that the excise laws be strength
ened to prevent the dispensing of liquors
to minors raises other questions relative
to the care of juveniles In this District.
There is now in service a juvenile .r2urt,
doing excellent work In enforcing the laws
that already exist and administering pun
ishment to children upon a humane princi-
pie and with a view to their preservation
from evil lives. Its functions are curative
rather than punitive. But its scope is linn
tied by the lack of statutes covering certain
conditions.
There is, for instance need today of a
law which will prohibit the sending of a
child to a saloon as medium Of purchase
for an adult. The excise laws do not fully
cover this point, and as a result of the
thoughtlessness of parents children are ex-
posed to unwholesome influences from
which they should be carefully shielded.
There is need again, of a law which will
properly punish any person who sends q
juvenile, as messenger, to any house Of
evil resort. 1t is impossible to estimate the
moral damage that Is wrought by this
practice. The laws today are lamentably
weak in this respect.
There is need furthermore of a law which
Shhi PiopcAiy poihSH q pcISOu VIII gives
tobacco to a child for his own consump-
ton. The statutes now prohibit the sale
of tobacco to minors, but, as in the case
of liquor. they do not go far enough. Many
people believe that the statutes should go
so far as to warrant the proper officers in
arresting, for trial before the Juvenile
Court, boys of tender years who are
found smoking. In no other way, it ap-
pears can the evil be reached, or the boys
addicted to this habit be taught the de-
structive effects Of nicotine upon them at
their age. = -,ar aga. - :tis-g,
If such laws were enacted. separately"or
together, they would greatly strengthen the
hands of those who are now working zeal
;ously for the rescue of the children from
contamination. 1t needs but visit to the
Juvenile Court to demonstrate the good
that can be done under a beneficent sys-
tenn of laws and an intelligent administra-
ton of them in accordance with the prin-
ciples of prevention and restraint. WASH
ington should have a model system Of juve-
nile laws. 1t should establish high stand
ard of intelligent treatment Of the younger
generation. 1t must, however, be confessed
that it has been deplorably slack in taking
cognizance of the immense Importance Of
this work and of providing the means of
caring properly for the moral and physical
health of the Juveniles. ';.'s'

Church and State.

The deplorable Roosevelt-Storer contro-
versy teaches one, valuable lesson. by
which the nation may profit o. We are
warned afresh against any sort of union
between church and state, as being detri-
mental to the interests. Of. both; So far
both church and state have prospered with
us. and apparently both are destined for
still greater things. As a. state. we are
easily among the first while church work
with u.s. largely because of the freedom
with which it is conducted, ranks with the
most notable and successful anywhere per-
formed. '-'s sr @.-. ''.''s s''' .
Let us note in particular to what excel
lent feeling among men our arrangement
contributes. Archbishop Ireland whose
name figures so prominently in the episode
in question, is. a stanch churchman-none
in America more active or influential. But
among his warmest admirers are many
Professionals who have been attracted to
him by his high walk as a citizen and a
patriot. His views are broad, and catholic
in the larger sense of the word and he
commands general and profound respect.
1t would have pleased numbers of Protest
ants and Catholics alike any time these
dozen years past had the red hat been con-
ferred on this useful and eminent cleric
and citizen.
This feeling was founded on the Ameri-
can appraisement of the matter. AS Arch
bishop Ireland had labored so diligently
and successfully in building up his church
In this country. and held so high a place
in the councils of the communion both here
and abroad, we should have rewarded him
in promotion according to his achievements
and the talents displayed. 80 The official
church view. however. which is formed
and promulgated in Rome, goes beyond
these considerations and gives us a differ
ten years two men have received the red
hat for services rendered in this country
Satoli and Martinelli-but those services,
important enough from the church point of
view. appear negligible from the state
point of view when compared with those
Of Ireland of St. Paul. Farley of New
York. Ryan of Philadelphia. or Keane of
Dubuque.
The church and the state move, or, where
not. should move in different orbits. Let
us keep our politics wholly free from church
influences. and our churches wholly free
from politics. The road to heaven is one of
free choice in America: and however much
we as citizens may admire a churchman
and applaud his great and good works, let
him and at the same time ourselves, to in
huence action with respect to his profess
sional promotion which must come, when

No, Better Not
From the Philadelphia Record.

! Il
The career and the reputation of an Of
ficers Of the navy Of the United States
should never be subjected to the humor or
the mistaken action of the tenant Of the
White House. whoever he may be. As a
ground for the necessity Of this monstrous
power the President 'adduces the solitary
case OF an officer of marines who. In his
view should have been condemned to dis
missal from the service. but who escaped
for want of legal proofs. Hundreds Of in
nocent officers must therefore be put in
: jeopardy because one guilty officer escapes
punishment. Although miscarriages of JUS
tice are only too frequent in the criminal
courts, 1t has never been suggested that
the executive of a state shall have power
to correct the errors Of jury. But Presi-
dent Roosevelt demands such an extension
of his own power as will enable him to dis
miss an officer when q court-martial can
find no proof of his guilt, or when he Is
not even charged with an offense. It Is
enough that the President deems him ''un-
worthy" There Is no reason to fear that
Congress will be subservient enough to obey
the demand for this monstrous change.

Populism and Socialism.

The following story about the populist
party of Kansas comes from Topeka:
Chairman Hanna of the state committee
has called conference of party leaders
in the holidays, at which time the effects
and good Will of the party will be trans
ferred to the republican organization.
MIR. Hanna has been discussing the party's
future with all of those who have taken
an active part in its affairs. and he SAYS
that the sentiment Is nearly unanimous
in favor OF going into the republican party
|" We take the position said Mr.. Hanna
today. that We have been the forerunners
of the present republican policy. Presi-
dent Roosevelt Is doing the things now
that we advocated ten years ago when
We were laughed at. We are all for Roose-
welt and We are going to get into his party.
We have been John the Baptist for him."
Seven cities claimed great Homer dead.
Two parties claim the Roosevelt program
alive. All that is good in 1t is democratic.
says Mr. Bryan. He insists upon his state
ment because OF his hope to profit by the
program In 1908. when, If all goes well with
his plans. he will again tempt fortune as
his party's national leader. But the popu-
lists assert that the President has bor-

Burned to Death.

A shocking catastrophe occurred at
Hallock Friday night. when Owen Ryan,
one of the prominent citizens of that
place, was burned to death in his own
home, while the rest of the family escap-
ed in their nightclothes to neighbors.
The family did not know that Mr.. Ryan
was IN the house at the time of the fire,
and it was not until everything was over
that he was missed. 1t was his GUS
tom to go up town in the evening and
remain late and it was thought that he
had not returned home.
The fire department responded quick
to the alarm, and although the building
was Quilted the framework was intact.
Search was made for Mr.. Ryan and his
body was found in crouching position
in closet, under the stairway, down
stairs, badly burned.
| How the fire originated will probably
never be known, but it is supposed that
Mr. Ryan came home at late hour and
upset lamp that ignited the house, and
in attempting t" get out turned into the
closet in place Ct the outer door, which
was at the head OF the stairs, and was
soon overcome by heat and smoke.
MIR. Ryan was one of the most extern.
sive farmers in Kittson county, and al
one time owned and operated, in compa.
with his brother, nearly township Of
land. He was the brother Of Dennis Ry.
