The Juvenile Court.
(By Mrs. Pittenger.)

We are told that the problem OF
the children is the problem of the
state AS we mould the children Sc
we shape the destiny of the state
which they will rule in their turn.
In proportion as we neglect or pass
them by, the blame for bad govern
ment to come rests upon us.
A member of the Presidents cabi-
net said in public speech, that the
boys of America were the most neg
lected creatures in the world, and
that they did not receive near the
attention given to live stock The
members of the lobbying committee
for the women's clubs to the last
legislature can testify that the meas
ures for the benefit of children were
put aside day after day for measures
to benefit the production of sheep
and fruit.
There may be those who have not
been deeply interested in the Juve-
nile Court, nor kept pace with its
objects and intentions and for them
I will try to explain that in the Juve-
nile Court is centered the enforce
ment of trinity of laws; the juve-
nile law proper; the compulsory edu-
cation law and the child labor law.
The juvenile court law proper
deals with the Juvenile delinquent
which includes any child 16 years or
under who violates any law Of the
state or any city or village ordinance,
or who is incorrigible or associates
with thieves, is idle or CANDLES, or
visits saloons or houses of Ill repute,
or who wanders about the streets at
night, OF uses bad language and
long list of things which you would
forget if I simply enumerate them
here.
The compulsory school law COM
pels every child between the age of
8 and 16 years to go to some school
for the entire year during which the
public schools are in session, ex-
cepting children over IA years of age
who have completed the 8th grade.
The child labor law prohibits any
child under IL years OF age to be in
any mine, factory, mercantile estab-
lishment, telegraph or telephone Of
fice, laundry, restaurant, hotel, apart
ment house, or in the distribution or
of merchandise or mes
sages for wages.
No child under IA can be employ
I'd in the above occupations during
school term and not in vacation earli-
Or chan 6 a. m. nor later than 9 |

returns with series of neatly mount
ed views showing bare unattractive
spots in the city and suburbs which,
as he thinks, for small expenditure OF
money and with great attendant bene-
fit to the adjoining real estate, could
be made into attractive parks. Still
another young fellow collects pictures
looking along congested streets
whose vistas OF the State Capitol
should have been left open. These
boys, later on, will be found taking
part in the big movement for i'm
provement OF American cities.
Under the competent guidance
other sides of modern city life are
observed. Sometimes corporation
boarding houses are investigated, or
the conditions in which the floating
population that sleeps in lodging
houses passes its days and nights.
All the civic institutions which offer
material for the study for such social
problems as charity, crime intemper-
ance, marriage and divorce are not
only discussed in class room, but are
studied on the spot.
Oftentimes the boys from attend
ance at meetings of laboring men and
agitators come back with revolution
ary ideas. These, however, they will
likely outgrow as they get deeper into
their studies. The idea is to make
them think about social matters. AS
soon as a student begins to think
hard he sees that while there are
some very pretty socialistic theories
abroad, the world moves only very
slowly in their direction, and not
along the mechanical lines laid down
by agitators and academic philoso.

Death Of ]. c. Hitler.

Yesterday about noon a message
was received from Union, Oregon,
conveying the sad news of the death
of q. c. Hitler. The message was
not unexpected by Mr.. Killers
relatives here, as they were informed
week ago that all hope of his re-
coverY was abandoned. and that
death might come at any time.
By his death Bear Lake County
has lost one of its pioneers and
highly esteemed citizens. Mr.. and
Mrs. HITLER came here IN the early
70's and, up to the first of last
November, had resided here ever
since. They moved to Union, Ore. ,
last fall in the hope that the lower
altitude and mllder climate would
be beneficial to his health, which
had been poorly for several years.
The change, however, proved of nc
benefit, and since about the middle
of December he gradually grew
worse until death ended his suffer.

During his residence in this
county Mr.. Hitler served one term
in the lower house of the legisla
turc, one term as probate Judge Of
the county, and served as justice OF

and police magistrate of the city.
His body will be brought here
for burial arriving tomorrow after
noon on No. 2. The funeral will
be held from the /. d. 5. meeting
house Sunday afternoon at two
o'clock.
The deceased was 60 years of age,
and is survived by a wife, tw,

Reflects Honor Upon the State.

1t is refreshing to know that
there is at least one democratic
paper in the state that takes SEN
lsible view of the part the state ad.
mlnistratlon played in prosecuting
those charged with completely in the
murder OF Ex-Governor Steunenberg.
That paper is the Lewiston Tribune,
the ablest democratic journal in
Idaho, and we commend the follow
ing editorial to the thoughtful con-
sideration of all who are wont to
abuse the administration for what
it has done:
'sBy reason of what has been done
the state is able to hold up It's head
as high as the highest. It can sit
rat; the council board of Its sister

In the assertion of It's sovereign
powers for the welfare of the people
and the progress of civilization. By
the side of the supreme result thus
achieved criticism is too puny for
serious notice. Possibly mistakes
have been made and possibly some
things have not been done just as
perfectly as they might have been
done if one had been gifted with
presclence. The state has not halt
ed or faltered or been turned aside
for all that, and il is well for every
one that this has been so. The good
results thereof cannot be measured
by monetary standards, though even
by that cheap standard the probable
tiles are that the state has gained
many times the cost, saying nothing
of what il would have lost if 1t had
not met the cost. Since peace and
free rights were re-established in

values created there have compensat
