THE JUVENILE SOCIETY.

4 Among the advances that Richmond
has made in the last few years Is the
,formation or a juvenile fociety, an
nounced in yesterday mornings Times
lDispatcll. The object of this society
/ is to help and protect youthful delin-
tauents and the experience Of all other
cities where this method Of dealing
with maynard children has been tried
establslies beyond doubt the benefit
that this change will bring to Rich
mond as u city In Massachusetts the
use of probation officer instead of
a Jail has enormously reduced the
number OF arrests, saved immeasurable
suffering, and cut off the most prolific
source of supply of hardened criminals.
Conditions in Richmond are naturally
not as bad as in larger and more con-
rested cities. but there is no reason
why children here should not have the
advantage Of the best experience OF tue
world in dealing with their problems.
Public thanks arc due the citizens WHO
have taken on themselves the burden
or organizing anu administering this
important and valuable work.

MIR. TAFT AND THE TIPPING CUES
TION.
Tie report that candidate Taft
never gives any tips, because he is OPP
posed to the principle OF the thing,
may be safely classed among the state
ments which are remarkable II true.
Taft has travelled much, far and often.
He has encountered myriads of lackeys,
flunkeys. couriers. cab-drivers. bag
gage men, bell boys, walters and 9TH
ers of the mental and tip-takins
classes. Probably he has associated
with more pullman porters than any
other man In the world. II he has
met this vast and naughty army with
only the famous Taft smile. il lie has
looked into the face of all that en-
pectancy and kept his hand in his
pocket. he has strength of character
hardly matched in this generation. II
he can front the powers that prey With
as staunch a courage to concede Moth
ing to insistent demand or subtle pres
sure, he ought to make formidable
candidate indeed.
But possibly the report is of press
agent manufacture and has no founda-
ton in fact. One thing at least is
certain. The senia! eN-Secre,ary may
never have given a tip in his life, but
he certainly took a big one from Thco-
dorc Roosevelt.

ROOSEVELT SENDS
SENATE NAME OF
DAVID JAYNE HILL
Former Plainfield Man to Sue
coed Ambassador Tower at
Berlin Court

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today sent to the Sem
ate the nomination of David Jayne
Hill, a native of Plainfeld, n. j., to
be ambassador extraordinary and
plenipotentiary to Germany.
He also named Arthur Mr.. Beaupre,
of Illinois. to be minister to the Neither
lands n Luxembourg and Spencer f,
Eddy, of Illinois. to be minister to the
Argentine Republic.
With a view to bring to a close the
gossip connected with reported disap-
proval in Berlin of the appointment of
DR.. Hill as ambassador and terminating
the incident. Baron Won sternberg, the
German ambassador. called at the
White House last night, by appoint
ment, to see President Roosevelt and
Secretary Root. AT the conclusion Of
the conference the following statement
was given out:
Apparently some remarks i'll a
casual conversation have been dis
torted by gossip and exaggerated
by rumor so as to give a totally
erroneous impression of the whole
matter.
The two governments have never
shared this misunderstanding. The
design Of the President of the secre-
tary of state in choosing Mr.. Hill
was to choose the nan who of all
the men in the diplomatic service
was best fitted for this particular
position-a position of the very first
order in honor and responsibility
and one to which, therefore, 1t was
deemed well TO send a skilled diplo-
mat. a student. a speaker, an au-
thority on international law, a
learned German scholar. who a
served with signal ability as assist
ant secretary of state under John
Hay and as foreign minister in two
successive posts. in the last of which
he had rendered marked service in
connection with the Hague Peace
Conference.
This purpose is. and always has
been, fully appreciated by the en-
peror personally and in Germany at
large"
1t was stated today hat the purpose
of the administration has been to make
It evident that the great diplomatic po-
sitions are not to be treated as positions
10 be held -only by mllionalres, but so
far as possible as rewards for faithful
service to the public in other positions.
