CHILDREN CANNOT BE
ABANDONED.

Editor Standard; There is reported
in Case and Comment" journal for
lawyers, a recent decision by high
judicial authority in England which
should be spread before your readers
1t Is generally asserted that the
United States Is leading the world in
juvenile laws and procedure, 1t Is
also generally asserted that the United
States leads the world in the failure
OF courts 10 enforce laws by reason
of too much regard for technicalities
and stIictnesS in constituting statutes.
etc
This English case is important and
of interest TO all classes of people. and
men who desert their families. aban-
don or neglect wife and children. or
contemplate such conduct better take
notice. and persons who are inclined
TO object to the activities OF the state
in the case of children would do well
to observe how fast the movement Is
coming TO be worldwide.

The case referred 10 in the foregoing
is reported as follows:
A recent English decision decides
a nice question under the prevention
of cruelty TO children act Of 1904.
which provides that III any person
who has the custody of any
child under the age OF sixteen
years wilfully assaults. ill-treats. ne
elects, or abandons or exposes such
child in a manner likely 10 cause
such child unnecessary suffering or
injury 10 its health. that person
shall be guilty OF a misdemeanor. "
The prisoner arrested under this act
had left his wife and children, throw
ing the whole burden of supporting
them upon her When arrested for
unlawfuliy and wilfully neglecting one
OF the children so as to cause unneces-
sary suffering and injury to its health.
he contended that the child was not in
his custody; therefore the act did not
apply. But tho court decided that he
could not get rid of the custody OF
his own child by abandoning it, and
that the mere failure 10 pay any part
OF his earnings toward the support Of
the child might constitute wilful ne
slect within the meaning OF the law.
An aunt ct the children had been for
some time providing them food. but
this was obviously inadequate, and,
as Lord Alverstone chief Justice, saws.
The fact was that the children were
! half starved. although not wholly
starved" and he adds, 1T is no an.

PARKS AND
RESERVATIONS

Much consideration was given during
1908 to the various propositions for the
permanent Improvement of the down
town section Of Washington, with par
ticular reference to the south side of
Pennsylvania avenue and the Mall The
sum of two and a half million dollars
was appropriated by Congress for the
purchase Of the five blocks centering on
10Th street and Pennsylvania avenue,
and a commission is now engaged in de-
termining the fair condemnatory value
of this land. 1t appears from the est
mates made up to date that the sum ap-
propriated by Congress will not be suffi-

BUSINESS

A gradual recovery from the depression

on the Washington Stock Exchange. To
a large extent the changes In the quota

throughout the country. The period was
characte:i zed by a stagnant market.
While there was no demand there was
also no pressure to sell. So what is
known as liquidation was not general.
The current figures merely registered the
state Of the market. When change

MONUMENTS AND
MEMORIALS

The beauty of Washington was en-
HANGED during the year by the erection OF
several handsome monuments. Plans were
made for the erection of others on the near
future. The most important, from his
torical viewpoint. of those unveiled dur
ing 1908 was that OF Gen. Philip Sheridan
on Sheridan Circle. A beautiful eques.
TRAN statue, the work of Gutzom Borg
lum, it takes its place among Washing
toms handsomest tributes to men who
helped make American history. The
Sheridan statue was unveiled on Novem.
Der % with elaborate ceremonies. in which
the President, the cabinet, foreign repre-
sentatives and the representatives of the
army and navy participated. All the liy-
ing members of Gen. Sheridan's family
were present.
a marked change was made in the ap-
pearance of the plaza in front of the
Capitol on November -, when the famous
Greenough statue Of George Washington
which faced the east front of the Capitol
for SO many years. was removed to the
Smithsonian Institution. The change was
made on account of the injurious effect
the winter weather was producing on the
statue.
The memorial to Rev. DIR. Stafford OF
ST. Patrick's Church. a marble pulpit in the
church where he labored SO long. was
dedicated with impressive ceremonies on
November 20. The most prominent Cath
olic clergy and laymen in the country
were present. Cardinal Gibbons came from
Baltimore to attend the dedication.
The committee in charge Of the me-
mortal to the late Crosby s. Noyes, editor
of The Star, has accepted the Copper de-
sign for a bronze bust of Mr.. Noyes which
when completed, will be placed in the
District building in honor of his many
acts of public service to the District
Proper ceremonies will mark the unwilling
of the bust.
The Dunbar statue of Alexander r
Shepherd, the former governor of the Dis
trict, Is to be erected on the northwest
corner of the parking in front OF the Dis
trict building. 1t is now at the Corcoran
Art Gallery. Models for the Columbus
fountain, which will be erected on the
plaza Of the Union Station have been ac-
cepted and the work on the memorial
is progressing. The base of the Grant
statue, to be placed at the east end OF
the Botanic Ga1den, has been erected
The unwilling of the statue will probably
occur in the spring of 1909.
