COL. JOHN DEFENDS
 NEW JUVENILE LAW
Cannot Understand Reasoning
 of Anniston Judge
IS HUMANE AND RIGHTEOUS.
When a Child Under IA Years of Aqe Is on Trial the Judge Must Suspend Proceedings, But the Youth
 May Be Tried Later.

The declaration by Judge T. W Cole man of Anniston that the juvenile court law is unconstitutional has caused no little comment among friends Of the bill In Birmingham When called over the telephone last night. Representative Sam Will John, who assisted in the passage of the bill, had this to say:
 'Ycs. l saw the announcement that Judge Coleman of Annston had declered the law commonly called the juvenile court law to be unconstitutional because it does not provide for a jury trial.
 "I have no idea what reasoning could have persuaded the judge to form this judgment. but it seems to me that he overlooked a very important principle. that is. that the legislature has the unlim- ited power to prescribe the procedure m every case and every court
 "In exercising this power the legislature provided by law that ih case child under l4 years of age was arrested. charged with a violation of law, the judi cial officer before whom the child was brought must suspend the proceeding and send the child to the chancery court or any court exercising equity power. the chancery court is the guardian of all in- fants.
 "If the child proved to he ineorrigibe the chancery court must remand 1t to the proper court where the regular proceed ings would be had, as though no suspen- sion had ever been had.
 "In no case could the child be turned loose. The reformation and saving from criminal life is the underlying princi- pie of this law. and the chancery court has the power to appoint q guardian or custodian for the child. or to commit it 10 any home or reformatory prepared ana willing to receive and care for the child
 "In determining these questions the chancery court does so. without the inter- vontion of a jury, The right of trial by jury may be waived in cases provided by law, and the accused only can demand jury and if not demanded by the &C., cused the state has no right or power 10 demand it.
 This law is humane and righteous one, and framed to have young children from being made into hardened criminals, and is entirely consonant with our con- stitution. and l believe 1t will be upheld by our supreme court"

A Trained Nurse Made Discovery.

No one is in better position to know the value of food and drink than a trained nurse
 Speaking of coffee. a nurse of Wilkes Barre. Pa, writes "I used to drink strong coffee myself. and suffered greatly from headaches and Indigestion While on a visit 10 my brothers l had a good chance to try Postum Food Coffee. for they drank it altogether in place of ordinary coffee. In two weeks after using Postum l found I was much benefited and final ly my headaches disappeared and also the indigestion.
 Naturally 1 have since used Postum among my patients and have noticed marked benefit where coffee has been left off and Postum used.
 'I observed a curious fact about Post nm when used among mothers. It greatly helps the flow of milk in cases where coffee is inclined to dry it up, and where tea causes nervousness
 '1 find trouble in getting servants to make Postum properly. They most al- ways serve t before it has been boiled lon. enough It should be boiled i5 to 20 minutes after boiling begins afd served with cream, when it Is certainly a de- licious beverage" Read "The Road to Wellvills'' in pkTs.

BECOME INTERESTED.

| The Tribune has several times
lately, and many times during the
past few years, called attention 10
the desirability of an electric rail-
way system in this section and not
to let the matter grow cold we again
urge the cooperation of everybody
who can in any way assist in this en-
terprise.
The matter is now in such shape
that with a united effort the road Is
assured. Some financial aid from
the people benefited will be needed,
but it will not be anything compared
with the benefits that will accrue,
If the experience of other sections OF
the country count for anything.
Really, the people OF Weld county
could we'll build the road without
any outside financial aid, il they
would only go at 1t. There would
not be the slightest trouble in rails
ing as much money as would be
needed for an irrigation enterprise
of similar magnitude. Then, why
not build your own railroad and give
an outlet for the products raised
under the big irrigation systems that
you have built without foreign aid?
1t amounts to the same thing.
However, If the people do not care
to absolutely control the proposed
railroad they can at least help to
interest others and they can do this
by in a limited way interesting
themselves.

neal for Greeley as a home piace d
anything else that could be ohefeu'
For the effort the flower Is making
in Greeley's behalf it should De re-
warded and honored as is the coiun-
b,ne. 1t should be made the ome'ai
flower of Greeley as it is. certainly
the most prolific and the most popn'
lar wild flower in this section.
1t is too late for this season 10
have the school children vote on an
official flower for Greeley or 1t wouio
be an excellent time to take up the
matter, but before another spring
comes around we would like TO see
this thing taken up and some htlns
recognition given this flower.

WHERE BLAME LIES.

The Railroad Gazette, a publica-
tim devoted to matters in the rail-
road world, in a recent issue pub
fishes a rather remarkable article
on the causes that lead to so many
railroad wrecks. In this article the
railroads and their employees are
practically exonerated from blame
for most of the wrecks and instead
the United Steel corporation. which
manufacturers most of the rails used
today, are blamed for the quality of
rails turned out.
The article is accompanied by H.
lustrations showing sections of faulty
rails found after number OF wrecks.
The greed of the great corporation
is blamed directly for the defect.
The ingots from which the rails are
made are not relieved of a sufficient
amount of phosphorus and other i'm
purities to make them of the high
grade that the specifications accom-
panying the orders for steel by the
railroads call for. The result is
brittle and otherwise faulty rails,
that break when subjected to any
extra strain. 1t is notable fact.
according to statistics shown, that
a much larger percentage of faulty
rails are found now, that 10O-pound
rails are used, than was the case Eve
years ago when most of the rails wert
only 80-pound.
1t is said that only the Hartman
system of railways has now become
powerful enough to defy the stee
corporation and 60 elsewhere for it
steel.
A peculiar feature of the Who'll
business is that the steel corporation
is now furnishing Japan with rail
at sic ton less than 1t will suppl
the American railroads, and at tn
same time living up to the Japanes
specifications.

Az EXCLAMATION.

The Tribune did not make a bid
on the county printing, contract for
which was let in the early part OF
the week. This publishing house is
out of politics, or political work ex-
cept upon strictly commercial
basis, i. e., the same rates for ad-
vertising or job work that would be
charged a merchant or other private
Individual. That it was plain be-
forehand would not obtain in the
bids for the county work.
The Tribune went out OF politics
some time ago, except where it may
see its duty clear to help In the
mortal uplift of the community.
That policy has been pursued abso-
lutely for some time and. somehow,
there has been more satisfaction in
running a newspaper during that
time. A survey of the books of the
office covering the same period also
shows very satisfactory state OF
affairs in that quarter, so that there
Is not even a monetary regret. 1t
owes no man, or any combination OF
men any allegiance, but is ready at
any time to advance the interests OF
this community in business OF
moral way. This paper will let
politicians and political papers have
their little internal chickering's and
scraps and only when they oversteu
the bounds OF decency will it care
to take a hand in the affairs. When
it does, there will be no doubt about
where it stands.
Meantime the Tribune will give
the actual news features of the
county commissioners proceedings
will be given as heretofore from one
to two weeks ahead of the official
report.

cused by twelve-year-o,d Caroline
Clinton with a serious crime, was
acquitted in the district court last
Friday. There were several circum.
stances connected with the case that
caused enough doubt in the minds of
the 1urymen as to his guilt that
they. returned verdict of not guilty

REWARD the PRIMROSE.

With all the beauty of our agri-
cultural country here there has ever
seemed something lacking to make
the place ideal, especially to those
who have come from the lower and
more humid sections Of country.
Spring here does not seem quite like
the same preiods of year that they
have become accustomed to in the
east. There is not quite the same
bursting forth of nature in all its
glory here that they have enjoyed.
April showers and May flowers are
terms not SO aptly applied to this
section as to those east of the Missis-
sippi river. We have not the pretty
stretches Of woodland, with the
ground carpeted with wild flowers
and the air sweet with the scent OF
these. Those are practically the
only things that carries an east
erner's thoughts back to his old
home after locating here, and that is
only for short time in the spring.
This year things in this respect
are more nearly approaching the
ideal here. The extremely wet and
cold spring have kept the leaves OF
the trees back and vegetation gener-
ally is retarded. But now 1t is
breaking through its combining bar.
riers and is growing like an eastern
forest. More than this, we have the
flowers. here in superabundance.
Primroses are fairly outdoing other
vegetation in their hurry to take up
all the room not needed for utilitar-
ian purposes. They are doing more
than their share this year to help
make Greeley good place for east
erners to live. Go almost any place
in the southern part of the city and
in other sections as we'll, and you will
find the ground carpeted In white by

Fruit Market

Watermelons have been coming into
the Enterprise market from the Imnaha
country the past two weeks and selling
at good prices. Other fruit has been
rather slow in coming in. Peaches
have sold at $1.00 per box in Enterprise,
while down around Napa, California,
they are selling for $500. Just four
times that received any previous year
for this fruit. California. Oregon and
Washington have enjoyed fair crop
OF peaches this year but owing to a
complete failure in the east these high
prices are due. In California they are
now offering fourteen cents for dried
peaches where the price before this was
Six and one-half cents. There seems to
be no question but that the high prices
prevailing for the early fruit will con-
tinue for the peach, apricot and pear
crops.
