sion and over which Judge Boykin,
of Smithfield- presi1es. will prove
generally satisfactory both in the
cities and counties included in the
two circuits.
The change will result in Judge
Boykin, who now resides over the
circuit courts OF Isle of Wight county,
Portmouth city and Princess Anne
county, being relieved of Princess
Anne and Portsmouth and given the
circuit to be composed OF Isle OF
Wight, Southampton and Nansemond.
the counties of Nansemond and Isle

together with Norfolk city.
Under the Encouragement Norfolk
city, Portsmouth city and Princess
Anne county will be included in one
circuit, Thus under the new plan
making districts in which the courts
will be continuous and better all

the judges of the two circuits in
particular.
The Encouragement will give Judge
Boylin. of Smithfield. in Isle of

tics of Southampton, Isle of Wight
and Nansemond. and will give the
cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth a
resident Judge unless Princess

CHILD-SAVING IN THE CITIES.
Splendid Life-WOrk of a Former Red

Ed. GAZETTE: AS | promised last
week, | give herewith description
of the work being done by Miss
Macomber, once a teacher in the
public schools of Redwood Falls,
now assistant probation officer of
the juvenile court of Minneapolis.
1t is compiled from a paper recently
read by her in Minneapolis, and
other facts elected in personal con-
yersation.
At the last session of the legis-
lature a bill was passed at the
eleventh hour, authorizing the estab-
lishment Of juvenile courts in the
counties of Hennepin, Ramsey anG

June, 1905. The idea of probation

had been steadily gaining ground
among the judges of courts Of
various states Massachusetts, Hi
nois and Colorado had already estab-
lished juvenile courts wherein chill
dren under II years of age might
be tried for the offenses they had
committed, and instead of being
punished by Imprisonment with old
er and hardened criminals, as had
been the practice. might be returned
to their homes, if such homes were
suitable places for them, and placed
under the care of probation officer
The children brought into the ju-
venile court are Of two general
classes: dependents and delinquents.
The dependents are the helpless ones
whose parents do not properly care
for them. These parents are intem-
perate and immoral, and the chill
dren poorly nourished, often half
starved and covered with vermin.
They roam the streets as soon as
they are able to walk, and soon be-
came familiar with nearly every
form of vice. The Humane society
is an organization thru whose efforts
most of these children are brought
into court They are taken from
their parents and sent to the State
public school at OWatonna, from
which institution they are finally
adopted into homes. Often they are
found to-. be SO diseased that they
have to be sent to the city hospital
where they remain until they are in
condition to go to school.
The delinquents are those under
II years of age who have COM
mitted somel offense against the
state, such as petit larceny, which
includes stealing from slot machines,
taking brass and iron from houses
in process of construction, sweeping
coal and grain from freight cars
/ standing on the railroad tracks and
shoplifting. Other ofenses are gam
bling with dice, cigarette smoking
and incorrigibllity The temptations
in large city are numerous and
intense, and at times there seems to
exist an epidemic of crime among
the boys. The parents lose control
over the children, and the latter are
out to dance halls and skating Kinks
until late hour Of the night Then
they are brought into court and the
work of the probation officer begins.
The first duty of this officer is to

DEMURRAGE BILL.

Hon. w. A. Nolan of Mower coun-
ty, author of the reciprocal demur-
rage bill before the 1905 session of
the legislature, and killed in the
senate at that session, has reintro-
duced the measure and it is earnest
ly hoped that the bill will become
a law.
The bill must be considered fair
by even the most candid pro-railroad
man. If the railroad companies are
to charge shippers for delay in load
ing or unloading cars then the ship
per ought to have the right to
charge railroad companies demur-
rage for failure to supply cars with
in a reasonable time, and also for a
failureto transport articles of freight
towards the destination at reason
able rate of speed.
Around the legislative halls it is
claimed that the bill will pass this
session, but the people will do well
to notify their senators and repre-
sentatives, and particularly the
former, that no delay will be toler-
ated this session. The newspapers
of the state, which made such mag
nifcent fight for the bill two years
ago, are once more urged to take up
this cudgel in behalf of the people
and create even stronger senti-
ment than was created at that time
