JUVENILE OFFENDERS.

The report Of Mr. Ernest *. Coulter, clerk Of
the Chdrens Court calls attention to the step
forward which this state is taking in the hu-
name and sensible treatment Of the more serious
childish offences. After September 1 no child
under sixteen years old can be charged with any
other offence than juvenile delinquency, except
a crime which under the Penal Code is punish
able with death or life imprisonment That
is to say, if a child under sixteen years old
steals the state will not brand him for the rest
of his days as thief. If be commits burglary,
the state will not brand him rs a convicted
burglar, ana so on with the major offences, eX-
cept one of the greatest. These brands are hard
10 live down So the state will content itself
with merely labelling the youthful offender
Juvenile delinquent" bad boy. Almost any
one can live down the reputation of having been
4 bad boy. The object of the new law is not 10
make criminals in Furnishing crime It has the
support of all societies interested in the welfare
of children and it is in line with the expert
ence of foreign countries in their treatment OF
serious childish miSdeeds
The aim OF the probation system, whose sue
cess Mr.. Coulter records is similar, namely, not
merely not to make criminals of the youthful Of
tenders who get into the tolls of the law, but to
set their feet on right paths, to put them under
the proper kind Of watchful guardianship, so that
they may, in the language Of Mr.. Coulter S re-
port, enter INTO the way tn:iL NiitS 70 SOCi 'ttI-
Zenship." OF the success of the probation
method of dealing with bad boys and girls Nr.
Coulter reports that cut Of S24S children placed
on probation since 1902 when the Chldrons
Court opened. iii profted 50 by probation that
no commitment was necessary, and they have
been released under suspended sentence or dis
charged That is TO say, Sc per cent of these
children have shown that all they needed was
one experience with the court and certain
amount of personal supervision to mend their
ways. 1t is an impressive demonstration of the
effectiveness of humane methods in treating
Juvenile delinquency. For the success Of the
probation system Mr.. Coulter gives much credit
to the Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty to
Children which a matter OF history was an
important factor in initiating that system in
New York. Many adjuncts are doubtless needed
TO simplify and render effective the probation
system, and they doubtless will come with its
further development. With the new law the
state takes another step III advance in treating
bad boys and girls an enlightened parent
would, rather than as if they had passed beyond
the stage of parental influence and restraint.

PRESIDENT REYESS DEPARTURE.

The announcement by Or. Hogun the act
ing President Of Colombia, that he expects to
retire from the place which he is temporarily
filing before July 20, is another indication Of
the probability Of the return Of President Reyes,
in accordance with his own promise and with
the declarations of his friends. The recent de
parture Of President Reyes not unnaturally re
minds Tie public Of the departure Of Mr. Castro
from Venezuela last year It is to he hoped that in
time it may confidently be added. in the words
OF the Milesian philosopher thar tie one incl
dent reminds Us Of the other because it is so
different There Is, in fact, radical difference
between them, in the characters ana standings
OF the two men, and we may hope that there
will be an equally marked difference i'll their
results. MI Castro dictator, while Gen
eraI Reyes has been Il constitutional President
The one exploited and oppressed his country
for his own personal GIorihcation and gain
while the other. although at times-like Pres-
dent Diaz of Mexico, with whom he may tit
tingly be compared in many respects-he has
been necessarily somewhat arbitrary in man
ner, is believed by those best Informed to have
acted unseltishly and for the good of the pub
lie The departure Of Mr. Castro was the best
thing that could happen for Venezuela while
the departure of General Reyes if it were to be
permanent would be regarded with sincere re
sret by every well informed and impartial we'll
wisher of Colombia
The explanation Of General Reyes's departure
which has been given in our columns by Mr.
Pagan. the acting consul Of Colombia in this
city, is doubtless to be accepted as correct. It
has been known for some time that General
Reyes has wished TO be relieved temporarily
of the cares of the Presidency. which have been
particularly exacting and burdens0me He IS
now within few weeks Of the middle Of his
term, having been elected early in August 1904
and while a long Presidential term may incline
a government toward stability it must be recog-
niZed that there is always Il possibility that a
conscientious and diigent President. wiz be-

of ten years. In that case the course which
is now reported to nave been taken by General
Reyes IS the natural If not the inevitable one
| The tradition which used to prevail here-that
a President Of the United States must not dur
ing his term Of office go outside the borders Of
this Rcpublic-seems to prevail in a modified
fashion in South America, 10 the effect that il
