Speaks Most Intelligently on Subject


relations TO the care of the child
says:
Broad philanthropy recognizes the
fact that the best way to prevent
crime and to protect the citizen is to
rescue the children who are destitute
and neglected, and those who dis
play premature symptoms of wrong
doing. by bringing to bear upon
them educational and formative in
fluences, and preventing their asso-
citation with hardened criminals.
In the case of delinquent child
rem, we have come to believe in the
last twenty-five years Of growth that
| children who commit crime are not
necessarily criminals, and that 1t is
better not to treat them as such.
1T happens more often than not
that when the real cause of cri
is inquired into, it is found to be
the mere boyish love for adventure
which has run wild because Of en-
yironment. lack of care, thoughtless-
ness or misdirected energy. The
boy may be technically a thief, He
lis not, in truth one, at all. He may
be made such by mismanagement
lin his correction. The necessity of
saving this boy from the influences
of prison and of giving right direc-
tion to his boyish enthusiasm is
apparent,

the charge of a matron whose kind

the time the youthful delinauent is
held in durance.
But above all, the main thing that
Is seemingly unknown is that par
ents themselves are responsible to
the law for many of the misdeeds of
their offspring. In many cases, boys
under II years of age openly smoke
cigarettes and cigars in the presence
of their parents. Some parents open
lly C"rnt3ulnCe such performance:
" tGc child is committing an Of

| II has developed in several In
stances, that children accused of tru-
ancy, have been encouraged in it by
their parents. To those II has been
explained that they are committing
an offense greater than that of the
child and II has usually resulted in
,Ae child attending school regularly
thereafter.
Many pathetic and touching cases
come before the Juvenile court in
1.-THE course Of year. and 1t is always
with the idea of doing the best for
the child, that the court tempers its
judgments with as much mercy as Is
consistent with good judgment and
the moral welfare of the child The
icourt IS not primarily for the pur-
pose Of punishment, but is designed
as corrective institution and to
THAT end. Parents must be made to
understand that they are largeley re-

their children.

New York Feb. 8. There is u
fine ola row brewing between the
New York Stock Exchange and the
New York Produce Exchange over
control of the trading i'll mining
stocks. This he's been becoming
more ard more apparent ever since
last Fall when transactions III min
ing stocks became heavy and
brought more business to the out
side brokers on the Broad street
cuib than they ever had dreamed
of before.
First the New York Stock Ex-
change members resented the atti-
t,,de Of the public in ncglecting the
trade on the big Ecard for business
on the curb. and then they began
to look around to see how they
could break up tie mining craze
and bring the business back to their
offerings. 1t was rumored early
in December that the Stock Ex-
change might list miring shares
in the hopeeof corialling most Of
the curb business. Before this idea
took any definite shape, however
the New York Produce Exchange,
which long has been semi-mori-
bund .asscclltion saw an opporun-
ity to, lift itself from the slough
and it started movement to
bring practically The entire curb
market on its ow' floor.
This movement has gone so far
there seems to He little doubt that
official action will be taken during
the present month 50 that all of
the better gT..dc Of stocks now be-
ing traded in on The cub will be
brought to the Produce Exchange
floor, and that mary Of tue present

In conversation with Probate
Judge Foster recently It developed
that there is great deal Of mis-
apprehension regarding the functions
of the juvenile court and the du-
ties of its officers. The law is COM
paratively new, having been passed
by the last Legislature and people
have not as yet had sufficient ex-
perience with the new law to unuer-
stand its workings
The Juvenile Court was establish
ed for the purpose Of dealing with
cases of youthful delinquency; cases
in which courts have heretofore had
no particular jurisdiction. Truancy
cases largely. compose the major
ity of the courts business. When
youngster is found to be skip
ping school, the superintendent
first talks to him and if persisted
ill., the case Is brought before the
Juvenile court. This tribunal at its
discretion may commit the child TO
an institution for the correction of
incorrigibility or may dismiss the
offender with a warning and place
him under the eye OF a probation
officer.
And right here is where the rub
comes in in counties like Marion.
The Probation officer must act
without compensation. or rather
while there Is provision for the ap-
pointment of probation officer
his compensation. and he therefore
must serve without remuneration
In theory, perhaps, II works out that
a man serves as well without. as
with. compensation; but as a living
breathing, actual practicality, it is
very very wide of the truth. And
this is in no wise intended as n re-
Election on those men who have thus

time and patience, In serving in this

valuable aid to the court from mo
lives of pure philanthropy and yet
there are many weaknesses in thu
system. For instance suppOsing {

number of transient and family ho-
tells already here, there are many
times when accommodations are ut
terly inadequate to meet the de-
mands. Some days the transient pop
uation of New York runs as low as
$4,000 while on others. according TO
railroad passenger officials, it Is
as high as 100000. During Horse
Show week, during the more recent
Automobile Show and like events
the figure Is greatly exceeded.
It was only eight years ago when,
during the Dewey celebration, there
was such congestion here that
many people had to go TO neighbor
ing towns for sleeping accommodate
tions. Then It was declared that
within five years there would be
so many hotels in New York that
such condition would be impus-
sible. During the years that have
passed more hotels have been built
than were dreamed of at the time.
but still, at times, the demand for
accommodation exceeds the supply.
At the present time there are prac-
tically $50 first c.ass hotels on
Manhattan Island and total of at
least 500. when the smaller ones
are considered. The enormous Ho-
tel Astor, the ST. Regis. the Bel
mont, the Knickerbocker and the
Hotel Gotham all have been built
since the Dewey celebration but the
crush comes today as easily as it
did then whenever any big happen
ing attracts.
The situation largely is because of
the number of people who live per-
manently in the New York hotels,
1t being II matter of record that
fully $4,000 families SO reside.
