REACHING THE MAN
AN DNOT THE FAULT.

In the training school for boys, for
which a site has at last been secured
in Yorktown, Westminster county, the
state of New York is to take a long
for the reclamation of wayward
youths
The system is not new. A reforma-
ton on the cottage plan was estab-
lished by the Philanthropic society of
London in 1888, one was opened near
Hamburg, Germany, in 1888, and a
third came into existence at Mettray,
France in 1899 The idea took root
root slowly, but within recent pc
riod it has spread rapidly Great Brit
ain and the United States have now in
operation numerous cottage settle
ments for boys and several for girls.
A few years ago the New York juve-
nile asylum of this city was trans
formed into boy colony at Echo Hills,
in Westchester county.
To get away from the institutional
environment is the aim in all these
cottage establishments. Broken into
small groups, the boys lose the prison.
like sense Of walls and long dormito-
ries They are no longer mere in
mates. Foster fathers and mothers in
the cottages convey the suggestion Of
family life Individual tendencies have
chance to develop. Guardians ana
teachers-not keepers-find opportuni-
ty to cope with different boys natures
according to their differing needs.
1t is an oft-repeated criticism of
our penal systems that our punish
ments are devised solely to fit the
crimes. In the cottage-home estab-
lishments means of correction are mod
flied to fit the various delinquents
Perhaps these institutions, dealing
with waywardness at it's beginning
may teach the state yet how to apply
at later period the principle OF
reaching not the fault but the man
himself

"The mayor, under. the present char
ter said Mr.. RAIDER, 'is almost a nom
entity in Walla Walla. He has power to
sign warrants or to veto ordinances,
but so far as enforcing orders, he is
practically unable to do so, although
the charter does give the right to sus-
pend officials under certain circum-
stances
Mr.. RAIDER favors three men under
the commission form, rather than
seven in the council as at present, and
said three well-paid men would be
more desirable than five not so well
remdnerated. That politics should be
eliminated SO far as possible, the
speaker said was necessary, as in Des
Moines, Iowa, politicians have sue
ceeded in working themselves into
power, and the plan is not the success
that had been looked for.
kirkman Favorable.
Elk Councilman w. H. Kirkman, who
has grappled with the weighty and Sc
rious problems of city government in
Walla Walla, spoke briefly in favor
of a change of some kind in the chap
ter, preferring the commission form.
He said he found, while a member of
the council, that the most expensive
thing the city owned was it's charter,
and that money was constantly being
lost through endeavoring to operate
the municipal machinery in accordance
with it's provisions; that money was
too often paid out in trying to remedy
defects.
Mr. Kirkman said the proper thing
to do was to secure copies of char
tiers now in effect in larger cities Of
the northwest select the more salts
factory portions and reject those feat
ures that have been found undesir-
able In that manner Walla Walla
might be able to secure an ideal
charter and one that would give COM
pIete satisfaction

WAR FOUGHT NEARLY
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

The fiftietfl anniversary Of John
Browns raid at Harper's Ferry, a
fateful date in American history as
marking the first act of physical yio-
lence in the 'irrepressible conflict
that was to deluge the nation with
blood, passed the other day with lit
tie notice. The anniversary has a
special significance for the reason that
it serves to begin the sequence of
semi of the war, the COM
memoration of which during the next
six years will vivify to the present
generation the times that tried mems
souls in the crisis of the republic.
Another year will bring the half
hundredth anniversary of the cleo
ton of Lincoln and the South Carroll
ma ordinance of secession, to be fol-
lowed by the firing on Sumter, the
call for volunteers and the organiza-
rtion of the confederacy 1t is a crowd

Run and Balls Bluff. Shiloh, Donelson,
Seven Pines, the Monitor and the
Merrimac, Antietam, Missionary
Ridge. Charlottesville, Mobile Bay
and Vicksburg, Gettysburg, the march
to the sea, the battle of the Wilder
ness, Lees surrender.

TRAMP PROBLEM is
WORRYING FARMERS.

Some unexpected complications are
arising out of the concerted effort Oh
railroads to rid themselves of the
tramp nuisance by excluding them
from the rights way Any man not
being an employee of the railroad who
walks on the track is a trespasser and
can be elected from the roadway. Now
in some of the eastern states the rail-
roads >have begun driving off tramps
from the rights of way with the re-
suit that they are living off the coun-
try and the farmers are in rebellion
Thus the Pomona grange of Blair coun-
ty, Pennsylvania, has adopted angry
resolutions setting forth that the ac-
ton of the railroads in driving OF
trespassers had sent the tramps into
the country, where they are robbing,
committing murder and destroying
property by fire, filling the county jail
and putting heavy tax on the tax
payers
1t is not clear how, in the absence
of special legislation, tramps can be
excluded from the railroad
tracks Trespass unaccompan1ed by
malicious mischief is not by itself
criminal offense, and a statute making
the simple act of walking on railroad
track a misdemeanOr would not be
good public policy, although the rail-
roads might have sufficient interest
with legislatures to procure the enact
ment of such a law. We have already
much quasi-criminal legislation of this
sort in the interest of railroads by
which crimes or public offenses are
artificially created by statute. But it is
an essentially vicious. class of legisla-
ton, as all laws designed to help
special interest must be.

MEN OF REALLY GOOD MANNERS
WILL NEVER BE oBTRUsIvE

The morning News of Savannah, Ca,
prints some significant remarks on
what is called the True Blue" but
ton movement in st. Louis, Mo. The
Wearer of True Blue" button has
pledged himself to see that women are
not forced to stand in the street cars
while men are seated He has under
taken work of reform which requires
uncommon courage, and renders him
liable to be called a public nuisance by
men who consider themselves both in
telligent and decent. Probably few Of
the True Blue" button men will go
so far in their endeavor to secure a
itively ill-mannered themselves. 1t
seems to be the best plan for a man
who desires to make his felloW-men
polite to be polite himself invariably,
but not to carry his desire to promote
politeness to the limit of aggressive
ness.
The st. Louis movement, however, is
understandable. The discourtesy Of
men toward women in the present gen.
Grafton is often deplorable. To be sure,
the excessive politeness of a few ex-
ceptional men sometimes strikes their
generally well-behaved fellows as Of
ficiousness if not as bordering on i'm
pudence. Hr. Howells, in one of his
shorter studies of American society,
remarks on the feelings of a Massa-
chusetts lady thrust temporarily into
the company of a fashionable actor.
She felt that his insistence on little
points of etiquette was embarrassing
He always strobe ahead of her, for in
stance, to open the door if she were
leaving the room. In this and other
matters he exceeded all politeness she
had been accustomed to from her ia
Their and brothers and her husband
and she knew they were well-bred
men, The man who habitually Re
moves his hat in the elevator of an
Office building if there is a woman
among the passengers is, often impelled
to do so by his training. But the wo-
man who is working for her living
may reasonably demand that her fey
low-workers should not take note OF
her sex in public and in business hours
This is the reason why most men, nc
matter how large share of natural
politeness they may justly claim, keeI
their hats on their heads in the ele-
vators. of office buildings, while they
remove them in hotel elevators Il
may be an open question which is
right, the man who removes his hat

man who discriminates. We feel sure

Decatur City Votes on Electric Fran
chise Saturday.

A special election will be held at
Decatur City on Saturday of this
week to vote on the proposition to
grant a franchise to the Leon Elec-
trio Co., to extend their electric light
and power system over to Decatur
City The terms of the franchise
are most liberal to the citizens of
Decatur City, and if granted the Le-
on Electric Co. will at once extend
their system to Decatur City and
they will have just as good lights
and power as we have here in Leon
and there is none better than the
service we are having in Leon
There should not be single vote
cast against granting the franchise.
1t will be the best thing Decatur City
ever did toward building up their
town. The public streets will be
lighted with electric lights and the
private citizens and business houses
can secure commercial lights at a
very reasonable rate. Electric
lights give metropolitan air to any
town and always impress stranger
favorably with the place. Let every
citizen of Decatur City who has the
welfare of the community at heart
get out and work to carry the cleo
tion Saturday From distance it
looks as if there was practically no
opposition, but we would like to see
the vote unanimous.
