JUVENILE COURT A SUCCESS
Territorial Industrial School at Benson Run on Judge Lindsey Plan With
 Court of their Own.

Superintendent James Mahoney of the Industrial school at Benson has novel method of enforcing discipline among t h e fifty odd youngsters that have been forced to live with him for period. It is not entirely new, yet it is most interesting and satisfactory scheme of handling the boys sent there. Each month a judge, prosecuting attorney and court officials are elected by the boys. It is no play affair but real court so far as they are concerned. The election is conducted without interference from the officials and when the officers are elected there is only one appeal in extreme cases to the superintendent. The offender is tried in regular court at which session no outsider is allowed to att tend. If the offender is found guilty either by the court or jury the sentence is carried out to the letter by the officer appionted for that duty. There is no boyish fool, ishness about this court and every act is taken seriously. The prison. CT understands too that he is going to get all he deserves. As the judge and officers are elected once month. it stands them in hand to be fair in all their proceedings for they may not be in office the following month. Only one appeal has been taken from the court to the superintendent so far.

The Position of France is Announced

PARIS, Aug. H.-The position Of
France with regard to Morocco as a
result of the defeat of the Sultan OF
record, Add FL Aziz by his brother
Mulai Hahd, who has now been pro-
claimed Sultan practically throughout
the empire, is substantially as fol-
lows:
Mulai Hahd's victory and his proc
lamation as Sultan at Tangier appar-
emily makes him the master of Mo
rocco. However, to continue as
Sultan de facto he must levy taxes,
and to levy taxes he must maintain
an army with which to impress and
hold the tickle tribesmen, and to
maintain an army he must have mon
ey. Money is his paramount neces-
sity; gold is the goal around which
the entire Moroccan problem re-
wolves. For gold Hafid must look to
Europe. Without it he cannot hope
TO endure. 1t would be tactless and
ruinous for the powers instantly to
throw themselves at the feet of Mulai
Haid, and recognize him as the ruler
of Morocco. He must be shown that
the powers are necessary to him, and
that he is necessary to the powers.
