HAVE A CHANCE TO BE GOOD

AS you walk along the street you see
many a man down in his luck, shutting
along as IL his manhood had gone from
him forever-and In the blurr of his fea-
lures there is but the faintest likeness
of what he might have been had he been
given a chance when he was a boy. Per-
haps he has been in Jail. or perhaps he
is one OF the regulars" at the Police
Court. a common. ordinary. everyday
"vaz,'' who gets fifteen days every time
he is arrested, simply because he is what
he Is. Perhaps he is a slick crook, and
gets term OF years behind nicely polish
ed steel doors every now and then, and
instead of adding his weight to the good
side of the balance, becomes q burden
and charge on tire community.
Whatever It costs to protect the land
from criminals-and il has been figured
ont by thousand criminalogists with
VARYING resuits-it is the opinion OF the
people who are interested in that unique
little National Junior Republic over near
Annapolis Junction, that the thousand
dollars which II costs to give an unfor-
1nnate or so-called bad boy a chance
i'm life is only IL trifle when one consid-
rrs that the miniature republic actually
takes a boys feet out of the path that
iS leading straight to various degrees
ri destruction and places them on a good
and solid foundation and makes Of him a
real man.

CARRIED A "A SHOOTER.
Aged Pensioner Will Be Asked to
Explaiu His Action.

James Pope a pensioner. seventy-six
years of age, is charged by the police Of
the sixth precinct with having walked
the streets Thursday armed with IA
caliber revolver. In all probability moth
ing would have been known about his
having been armed had he not met with
an accident, the police say, but they al
lege the big weapon rolled from his
pocket when he was struck by street
car and knocked down.
The accident happened at the intersec-
ton Of Indiana avenue and Sd street, near
where the pensioner had lodgings. and the
injured man was removed to the Emer-
gency Hospital. He was only slightly in
jured and was able to leave the hospital
that evening. Yesterday he became sick
and was taken to the Casualty Hospital
Then the police learned of the pistol in
cident and preferred the charge against
him.
Inquiry was made at No. 3OG Indiana
avenue. where Pope occupied room, and
the police were told that he had been
there about u month. 1t was stated that
he had said something about anarchists
and members of the Black Hand having
been after him and had told friends that
he went armed for the purpose OF pro-
tecting himself. Further inquiries will be
made about him before he is taken to the
Police Court.

the fortune seeker was brought
back. The chief put leg irons on him and

minutes the fortune seeker was brought
back. The chief put leg irons on him and
set him to work raking leaves.
The interest that the boys showed In
bringing back the would-be runaway IN
dicates just what the Junior Republic idea
has done for a lot Of youngsters who came
there to straighten themselves out and
who at first were perhaps wildly irrespon-
sible, with no idea Of government and
headed right straight for the jail Or work
house.
1t must not be supposed that the Ma
tional Junior Republic is reform
school," 1t reforms, but the peculiar Or
Sanization of the republic makes each boy
reform himself. He has, to work, he has
to be good citizen or the boy who sleeps
in the next room perhaps will lock him
up. He has to work to earn money to
clOthe himself: he has to be a good ctti-
zen or he will be in the meanest kind of
trouble all the time. The system works
wonders-witness the hoy who had to be
handcuffed to get him there and who said
he would run away the first chance he
got. He is now the finest workman on the
thousand-dollar sewer system the boys
are building themselves. and as for run
ming away-he never thinks of it. When
he gets through with the republic he will
know whole lot about earning his living
in half Il dozen different ways, and nc
will know exactly what relation the loaf
err, the tramp. the thug and the thief
bear to the community.
Some Notable Examples.
One boy who walked out of the republic
after being a good citizen for several
years is now the president OF coal-pro-
ducing company at $1,000 year. He
got his first insight into the management
Of big affairs when he was drawing
aluminium coins for running some little
end of the chicken farm. Other boys have
gone into the army and have risen from
the ranks: others have become carpenters,
some have not made their marks In the
business world yet. but are honest and
arc helping the world go round, where
they might have been a clog to the Wheel
of progress had they never been citizens
of this boyIand.
Just at present there is no endowment
fund for the republic, and the money nee
essary to educate the boys and to bring
the farm up to a state of good production
is being raised by private subscription 10
a great extent. In time the republic will
be self-supporting in everything except
the salaries Of superintendent and teach
ers. Also, if enough money can be raised.
the cost Of giving boy a chance Will
be reduced from $1,000 to $500. There are
Il great many Washingtonians sending
money to the republic every month now.
More money is needed. John L. NeWboid
of Washington, president Of the board, Is
about to conduct big campaign of pub
licity and fund raising.

NATURAL GAS TAX IGNORED

Special Correspondence of The star
WHEELING, W. Va. October 16, 1863.
There may have been some business
men at the Huntington meeting Of the
West Virginia Board Of Trade this week
who didn't have thought about politics
and cared not hang about 1.-The situa-
tion," but there was a goodly number
who viewed the annual session through
political glasses. Certainly there was a
choice collection of statesmen on hand
United States senators, past, present and
prospective: gubernatorial material of the
three lenses likewise. not to speak of
lesser Iuminaries In the avenue of public
life.
And there was politics. SO to speak, in
the activity which prevented consideration
of the natural gas tax problem. Most of
the speakers took care to compliment the
state administration as conservative, eff
cieut and promising we'll, but with an
undercurrent of hope that policies which
have come to be known as radical would
be tabooed to the end that capital be not
frightened.
Ex-senator Henry G. Davis devoted his
spare time to instilling the doctrine that
there should be an end to the efforts to
further tax industrial existence Or indus
roads, for he had in mind the two-cent
fare which the courts recently held In
an Injunction process was hardship on
his Coal and Coke railroad. He gently
SHE'D away from the natural gas issue.
Some of the Propositions.
Senator Elkins, who came out few
days previously in favor Of state rail-
road commission, on the theory that the
HEPBURN bill was insufficient to force the
trunk lines to give smaller roads needed
cars. was also on the ground. with sew
eral able lieutenants. and Harry B. War
field, his business associate at Morgan
town, who was unable to be present, sent
in letter which was read to the gather
ing, and which took q fall out of the
proposed extra legislative session, pro-
posed natural gas legislation. and which
also argued at length for the creation of
the office of state statistician.
The War1leld document appealed for
conservatism. 1t argued that the bust
ness interests wanted less legislation
rather than additional statutes, and that
a mistake would be made in continued
agitation for more taxes. The statisti-
clans, office would be practical states
manshtp. 1t was stated. and in the course
OF time be such source Of information
as to West Virginia's resources that it
would attract outside capital and be on
the whole a great boon to the state.
Whether justly or not, Mr.. Warfield was
regarded as being Senator Elkins mouth
piece. and his natural gas views were
considered significant in this regard.
Governor Wants Tax on Gas.
Gov. Glasscock spoke at length for big
tax OH gas production or the restriction
OF its expectation, and State Auditor
Darst followed In similar vein. There

what the name implies. 1t is not any
kind Of Utopia nor is it a visionary ar
rangement where the principles of social
ism are taught. 1t Is place where just
at present q fifteen-year- boy is presi-
dent OF d little state, where d cabinet of
boys controls the state policy, where q
nineteen-year old judge passes sentence
on boys who will not do their share to-
ward the upkeep of the community, where
1t is place where d youngSter, who
does not know what he wants to do or
where he wants to roam, who has a bad
case Of "wanderlust," comes and sees the
elements OF good citizenship worked out
by lads Of his own age. He may kick
hard and protest that he won't stay there
half all hour, that he will not do a stroke
Of workout the chief Of police, who
probably had the same sort of erroneous
idea when he first went there. will lock
him up and charge him with being
vagrant If he loafs, and will keep him un-
der surveillance until the boy changes
his mind
The people who founded the National
Junior Republic said to each other:
"All bad boys are not bad. They have
the old Adam in them-and don't know
what Is what. Some of them have no
home training, some of them have no
viciousness of their elders. Some of them
would do better IL they were placed on
their own resources and learn in that way
what is expected Of boy, and later on,
of a man.
Fair and Square Treatment.
So they founded the republic. 1t is
there today, a mile or so from the Balti-
more and Ohio station at Annapolis juno
ton, and the superintendent, L. w. Bak-
err is always glad to see visitors. There
are about half a hundred boys there now
-"citizens," they call themselves-and
they actually run that little place. keep it
clean, cultivate ninety acres, run a car
penter shop, a small dairy farm laun-
dry and two or three other Industries
And not one OF them is treated in any
way except fair way. Every boy who
comes there becomes "A cog in the econ
omy OF the place, and no matter what his
previous record has been, all that counts
with the republic is his ability to get
down to hard pan and uphold the state.
Every citizen has to work-there is moth
ing else to 1t. And he has to hustle
around to find job, but of course IT is
seen to that there is always one waiting
for him somewhere. The republic has it's
own system OF currency. aluminium coins
that will buy anything at the general
store. it also boasts of bank. and the
citizens all have bank accounts. 1t has q
newspaper, written, edited and set up and
printed by citizens who found that 1t was
more profitable TO spread the news broad
sast than to dig u ditch or hoe potafoes.
Just Like Their Elders.
The republic runs general dining room
