Youthful Criminals.

Tw0-thirds OF the convicts in Ameri.
cas- greatest prison (the Missouri
penitentiary at Jefferson City are
men without trade or profession. Look
into any state penitentiary, and you
will ordinarily find that at least one
third of the convicts there confined
are young men, ranging in age from IL
to 25 years, and that nearly all OF
these came into prison absolutely
without the knowledge OF any useful
and gainful occupation. Comparative
ly few OF the younger class of felons
are illiterate. In my own experience,
writes Thomas Speed Mosby, Missou-
ri state pardon attorney, in Success
Magazine, / have never met one who
could not read and write, and very
many (by Far the greater number, l
should say) are possessed OF no small
degree of intelligence. But, however
stupid or however precocious, they
are found to be, scarcely without eX-
ception, young men who have not ap-
piled themselves to useful, honest
work. This is true Of both the poor
and the well-to-do. Why are they
there? The answer is given by Gus
tave Marx, one of the Chicago car
barn" bandits, who recently died upon
the gallows: TT wasn't drink that
caused my downfall" he said; mot
cigarettes, nor bad companions, either.
1t was just idleness. Idleness led me
first to cigarettes, then to drink, then
to bad companions-then to the gal
lows. And / blame my folks. If they
had made me remain at work, work
would have kept me too busy to have
planned robbery and murder" This
is the story that fits them all. First,
fdleness then cigarettes and drink, to
blunt the moral sense and destroy the
will; then living beyond ones means;
then indulging the riotous excesses
that spell debauchery and make for
ruin. And may they not rightly blame
their folks" as did Gustave Marx?

EXIT VARDAMAN-ENTER NOEL

Special interest centers in the change of gov

and President Roosevelt. The new governor
elect, e. F. Noel, occupies rather unique posi-

of his state, he is the first citizen of Holmes
county chosen, not only as governor, but
for any state Office and so far can be ascer-
tained he was the first to be chosen to any Of
flee outside his county, and Chat was when he
was elected district attorney in 1887.
The public life of Edmond F. Noel began in
1882 when he was the youngest member OF the

terms and was afterwards elected district attor.

HOLD WAR FLEET TOGETHER
Possible Reason for Bringing Fight
inq Craft to the Pacific.


After all the guessing and specula
ton is over. as to the motives which
impelled the president and a majority
of the naval general board to order the
battleship fleet to the Pacific, the con-
scnsus of opinion is that several
causes contributed to bring about the
decision. A new factor which army
circles believe may have been one Of
most Importance in influencing this ac
ton. is found in the paragraph in the
report by Captain William A. Judson
corps of engineers, one of the military
observers with the Russian army in
Manchuria during the last war. The
report has just been published by the
general staff and doubtless its con.
tents were known to the president.
In his report Captain Judson says.
ut is interesting also to reflect upon
what would have occurred if, at the
outbreak of the war, the Russian feet
in the far east had been limited to a
few protected cruisers, all batteships
being retained in home waters. Il is
quite evident that in such case, by the
summer Of 1905 a fleet might have
been dispatched to the theater of oper
atiORs with sufficient strength to
crush the Japanese beyond the ques.
ton OF doubt. Indeed, it cannot be
believed that the Japanese would have
precipitated war if the Russian army
and navy had not been scattered to
their liking. This is, to be sure,
naval question, but strategy is much
the same on the land and on the sea-
and one is forced to wonder why we
maintain several battleships on the
Asiatic station subject to destruction
in case of sudden war"
