MANS Place in Nature is the title of
a volume by Huxley. But no daring scien-
fist has yet given us its companion work
on "Woman's Place in Nature" Admitted
ly, the subject is little difficult and not
little dangerous. 1t would also be largely
gratuitous, since woman has already taken
her place, and is not likely to be moved
by any man-except to tears. She un-
doubtedly occupies the first place Hence
the saying, "Place aux DANES" Although
they are generally believed to have come

been after him ever since-they have made

To save the helpless youths and
make good and useful citizens OF
them, instead Of criminals and anarch.
lists, Is one of the great needs OF our
times. The prompt attention to this
problem may save the country bye
and bye. There are only two reason.

PRAYED youths-The Spartan method
of killing them, or the Christian
method of removing obstacles and
giving them a chance to grow. We
hoe down the weeds that choke the
development OF young plant, but We
don't do as much for a child; and
when We observe its crooked growth
and immoral predictions, We say to
ourselves that blood will tell; and we
put a penalty on the life that already
feels itself abused and give it hate to
feed on. Let us treat our boys at
least as well as we do a potato.
and we shall find that they repay our
efforts much better.

BOYS AND POTATOES.

We are gratified to observe that the
experiences OF one year have brought
County Judge Lightfoot TO the view
adopted by The sun when the juven-
lie court bill was passed; that this city
and county should have a detention
house for hcorrigfbles, and a proba-
fion officer-not merely a truant Off.
Ger. Men and women probation Off.
GERS should be appointed. and they
should be of sufficient intelligence and
judgment to ascertain the home en-
vironments and get at the root of the
trouble in the young lives under thelI
charge. More often than not the
parents are the delinquents, and the
Juvenile court should have all parties
before At and conduct the inquisitior
regardless of the niceties of legal evil
denee.
Not the punishment of delinquent
children, but the removal OF tht
cause of their delinquency is the mair
object. The majority of the bad boy,
and girls have not had a fair chancs
and are not really to be blamed, but
TO be relieved: and where parents are
at fault, II Is the duty OF the court to
put the parents on probation.
This juvenile problem is a problem
OF the city. We Americans, except
ing the comparative few whose incli-
nation or employment has brought
them to the edge of the maelstrom
OF the under world. where they can
study the situation as Il really is. do
not realize that the sudden growth of
great centers of population has pro-
duced artificial conditions, that con-
fine the human life within their infiu-
ence. The poor in the country have
freedom for development and all out
doors IN which to cultivate their bet
ter natures. The struggle of the des
titute classes In the cities destroys
much of the good In them causes
them to neglect their families. and

THE PRESS AND THE STATE.

There is a dignity above that Of
cringing partisanship to which the
press should aspire; a character II
should sustain, that will not permit
of stopping TO a policy, which con-
tains nothing more meritorious than
mere temporary party advantage.
Kentucky's good name has been I'M
der the cloud of outlawry for two
whole years. 1t matters not now
how the trouble started; it is known
to the whole world that men, women
and children are whipped and shot by
masked men riding in the night time;
that property of unoffending planters
is destroyed, towns are raided and
railroad stations burned.
We have an established state gov
ernment and a military organization.
The constitution guarantees to every
resident the right to ''life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. County
authorities for the most past are in
league with the outlaws. Now, what
Is the duty OF the governor? Wouldn't
he be a nice lump of human flesh, IL
he should sit supinely there at Frank
fort and not turn a hand to protect
the people of the state from 50 out
rageous violence?
Then, what is the duty of the
presss Is IL not the first duty of a
newspaper to allay public passion and
discourage outlawry in the communi-
ty in which II circulates? Is 1t not
the duty of the press TO unequivocally
align itself on the side OF the law
and the state government. encourag-
ing every proper effort to put down
disorder and condemning every law
less act?
l Had the press of the Black Patch
'ione this in the outset the disgrace
full and Illuminating condition in which
the state finds herself today, would
have been averted. But early in the
strife the country press gave ear to
the wild blades. BY suppressing news
II encouraged them TO think there
would be no day of reckoning. and
linen were led into mischief who now
regret their part and never would
have gone astray, but for the failure
OF free press to do its duty.
