JUVENILE COURT.

The theory of the juvenile court is
TO see the cause OF evil tendencies In
children and correct them. If il is
bad home influence, not to remove
the from home, If the home can be
improved; II the trouble is disease or
starvation, remedy It; If unhealthful
tenements are discovered, compel i'm
proyement; II the parents are delin
quent, take charge OF the parents.
Breaking up homes and sending chill
dren away from them are bad both for
the parents and the children. Real
ization of responsibility for a grow
ing generation is a great moral force.
It's a mighty poor home that isn't
better than a good institution. Make
the home better, is the demand on
the juvenile court. That is why pro-
baton officers, men and women OF
various religious denominations and
nationalities are required, to keep in
touch with the home life and conduct
of the wards of the court. When the
Juvenile court Is more generally un-
derstood, McCracken county will in
sist on having one.

only consideration that should guide
us in the selection OF form of gov
ernment, is practicabildty In view of
these three ends.
Are We not tired of municipal
waste and graft? Are we not dis
gusted with petty politics? Are we
mot dishearteued over the immunity
bath administered to Sunday vio-
lators and blind tiger operators?
Do not tax payers begin TO think II is
time for their taxes to be spent for
their benefit?
The trouble with our present sys-
tenn Is divided responsibility. 1t en-
ables shirkers to hide behind some
one else; it enables corruptionists TO
shift the blame; 1t discourages men,
who know how and would like to do
their duty; It prevents citizens from
fully understanding the operations OF
their government and directing their
reforms effectively. Legislative tam
pering is an offspring of the system;
but with authority and responsibility
properly concentrated, the tempta-
ton will be removed from the politi-
clans.
Des Moines. Iowa, which has been
trying the commission system of gov
eminent, formerly ran behind $780,
900 annually. The report for the
first report under the commission
shows that the city saved money.
How would that suit the gentlemen,
who were indignant because 1t was
necessary to increase their licenses
in order to cure the city of the deficit
habit. into which she had fallen and
to meet the pressing demand for
moderate improvements?
Think II over II the burden Is
grievous enough TO warrant you in
fighting against the result of bad
system, isn't II grievous enough 10
warrant you in going to the root of
the trouble and eliminating that?

confronted by lack Of authority, and
the necessity of awaiting the action

the administration has encountered in

The railroad commissioners of the
state have come and gone, and left
behind them the news that the Union
station is in excellent condition.
The officials,-way up in G-of the
I. c. r. r., have been here and held
a love-feast with some of our citizens.
But never a twitter as to the palpable
fact that the l. c. r. r. Union station
is absolutely inadequate TO the needs
of our city, and very possibly one of
the draw backs to our growth.
The Spectator had to meet friend
coming in on the evening train. The
night was cold and a drilling rain
was falling. AS the street car de-
posted him at the station. he, with
many others stepped out into mud
puddle nearly up to shoe tops. From
that mud puddle he hurried through
the rain, wriggling his way through
trucks laden with baggage and ex-
press matter OF various size and shape
to the waiting room. This was crowd
ed with men, women, children. foul
air and odors.-odors from tobacco,
odors from foul air. odors from the
kitchen OF the lunch room, odors per-
lceptible from the toilet room. On
one side of this room was a narrow
passage. leading to the lunch room
and there were benches lining one
side Of this hallway, IL was labelled
smoking room, but the smoking was
being done out in the main room, in
the company of women and children
On the other side of this main room
was one about fifteen feet square, in
tended for the women, but absolutely
inadequate for their numbers, to say
nothing of their needs. To escape
all this meant to step out into the
open air. in the rain, without shed
of any description overhead.
Finally the train pulled in, forty
or more passengers dismounted into
the rain without protection OF any
sort, while forty or more other pas
sengers stood in the rain waiting for
an opportunity to embark.
All this in city, which In point
of amount of freight and express
hauled and number of passengers
handled. ranks as the third station
on the division of the Illinois Sentral
railroad. No wonder The Spectator
was dumb when his friend growled
Idisgustedly, This is the bummest
town ever,-what is the matter with
you people that you stand for this?"
Well, why do we stand for IT?
The commissioners have issued
their fiat that the condition of the
station is good,-but? Let protest
be sent in signed by any number of
reputable citizens. stating this griev-
ance and asking for redress, and the
Lawyer Friend OF The Spectator as
sures him that said commissioners
will have TO take heed and the road
will have to build something adequate
to our needs. Is a tenth rate station
sufficient for first-class town? Let
us get move on us, as we did about
the downtown Office for both the
roads.

The Nasal MUCOUS Membrane.

The nasal mucous membrane Is one Of
the most important mucous surfaces OF
the body, since the nerves OF smell are
distributed TO IL, and the slightest Inn
pairment Of 1t leads at once TO partial
or complete loss OF smell.
Catarrh Is the most frequent source Of
arrangement Of this membrane. This
membranei is continuous with the lining
OF the throat, ears and frontal sinuses,
and nasal catarrh soon spreads TO these
parts unless cured promptly.
Peruna is the proper remedy in all
stages Of catarrh, and Is often the only
remedy necessary except some compli-
cations exist. But of course 10 taxed
