'oUR COMMON COUNTRY.

1t strikes us that there is more than
ordinary significance in a little tele-
gram from Dallas. Tex. The message
saws that a new law which has just
gone into effect makes the birthday of
Jefferson Davis a legal holiday and
that 1t was observed by the federal
government, all p0stoff1ces and govern
ment buildings being closed throughout
the day. The government thus became
an actual participant in paying tribute
to the memory of the late president of
the southern confederacy.
only a little more than fortysix
years ago the confederates fired upon
Fort Sumpter For four years one Of
the cruelesu wars in the history of the
world was waged. If the cause of which
Jefferson Davis was the head had been
successful this nation would have been
divided. For years after the war Davis
was regarded by the people of the north
as traitor who richly deserved execu-
ton. Many men and women are now
alive who remember those dark days.
Now they are gone for ever. Time
has smoothed away the hardness, it has
obliterated the bitterness and we are
again, and for always. one people. With
a generosity so rare that it may be said
TO be absolutely unique, the people of
the north and of the south. almost
within the space of single generation,
have forgiven the wrongs each side per-
to,,
their differences. Now the one-ume
warning sections remember only that
both sides were honest and brave, that
both fought only for what they believed
to be right, and that the great heroes.
the great statesmen, the great generals
were not all on either side of the con-
tention.

HIGH PRICED DIRT.

A lot on Fifth avenue, New York. at
the intersection of that thoroUghfare
with Thirty-eighth street, lot 25.3 by
100 feet, sold the other day for $1,000
This is at the rate of about $4,000 per
front foot. The area of the lot is ISIS
square feet, thus making the price paid
for it in the neighborhood of S277 per
square foot. The ground is occupied by
an old four-story dwelling. which is TO
be torn down to make room for real i'm
provements.

Peter Stuyvesant bought his big

EoR THE BOYS SAKE.

The juvenile court, which promised
TO be the most valuable of the city's
law institutions, Is in danger of becom-
ing a pitiable failure. Instituted orig
inaily as 6. place where boys who need
ed help to keep them from falling and
sympathy to strengthen their desire for
a better life, it threatens to become an
ordinary penal court scarcely better
than the old police system.
Just-Why this should be does not ap-
pear. nor has The Herald any desire to
criticise unjustly the judge who admin
listers the law, but some one in some
way should stop the present tendency
pose of its founders. the purpose the
public had IN. mind for it.
Under a much less effective law, with
handicaps unknown now, Judge Brown
managed to make the court a refuge
for every boy in distress The incoT-
rigibles or those the thoughtless re-
garded as incorrigible, sought the
judges counsel and followed his ad-
vice. He was their friend-not a judge
to be feared and avoided; to him they
turned when they had done wrong, and
on him they leaned when the pressure
of temptation, the stress of untoward
circumstances seemed more than they
could bear alone.
The Canyon Crest ranch, which was
the outgrowth of the movement, is to
day the embodiment of the motives
which prompted the administration of
the court, and no finer work could be
imagined than ii is accomplishing.
Boys who were homeless and hopeless
have found there such surroundings
and inspiration as make great men;
and more than one of them has al
ready justified the great expenditure of
time and money and energy which have
gone to its making.
In the kindliest spirit possible The
Herald urges the necessity for a change
in the methods of the juvenile court, an
extension of its gentler influence. the
mitigation of severity, the introduction
of the human. sympathetic factors
which influence boys when severity and
stern justice fail Personal experience
convinces one that no boy is hopeless
ly incorrigible. Not one in thousand
is beyond recall to life of usefulness.
He may fall again and again, but pa
tience and kindness and a wise under
standing of boy nature such as is ac-
quired by close association. can reclaim
all CT them: and IL is better to spend
a thousand dollars on a boy in the be-
ginning Of his waywardness to reclaim
him than to spend ten thousand on him
as a mature criminal.
After such a showing as the juvenile
court and its allied institutions have
made, IL would be a confession of COM
munity helplessness to permit the boys
to suffer such conditions as they knew
in the old DAYS

cToP The WASTE.

II hasn't been more than ten days or
TWO weeks since the defenders of the
American city administration con-
demned The Herald bitterly for pub
fishing the fact that public contractors
were unable to get paid for their work.
On Monday night the American" coun-
Gil discussed ways and means Of paying
contractors and formulated a plan for
the issuance OF warrants that would
stand a legal test instead of the war
rants devised by the city attorney and
found defective. There could be no
more complete confession of incompe-
tency and mismanagement that is re-
corded in the councils proceedings of
the past few weeks.
What aggravates the situation is the
fact that much of the delay in settle
ment of debts, the confusion of ac-
counts and the uncertainties as TO the
real financial condition of the city are
all unnecessary The city is spending
money extrava gantly, of that there is
no question; the auditors Office is be-
hind in it's work and it's accounts In
such shape that an expert could not tell
what shape the treasury is in without
spending weeks on the books; the city
engineers department is overwhelmed
with work and unable to retain COM
