a child of strong passions and vi

he has reached that degree Of respon-
sibility justifying a life sentence to
prison. He has not yet found himself
or come to a sense Of his relations to
society. He does queer things, for
some of which he should be discip-
lined. This is especially true of that
large body of youths who have no
home training. or have had training
which has perverted their moral sus-
capabilities and started them in the
wrong way.
This is not plea fo- leniency TO
criminals. A sterner instead OF a soft

But the courts and juries. as well as
public sentiment should begin its ap-
plication with those who have reached
an age at which they cannot fail to
comprehend the character. bearings
and consequences Of their evil ways.

made by the Rock Island railway this
morning when they brought the U c. T
