SOMETHING TO PONDER

Looking at this sheet. you see what
Is called paper. 1t is material OBJ

at all, what you see is an image of a
paper thrown upon the mind. All you
know about this paper and all you
ever will know about It are the pic.
lures that appear on the retina Of the
eye-the mind looks at them and not
at the paper. That is all the mind
ever does see. are those pictures on
the retina of the eye. The mind is be-
hind the eye and If anything happens
to that delicate bit Of machinery, then
the mind can see no more.
1t is wise plan to have that deli
cate piece of human machinery thor
oughly examined, at least once In two
years, to see that 1t is working nor
mally-without strain. The eyes eff

resulted In their victims death.
Here are two cases, found In tn:

In crimes. The Brookport boy is ]
years old. The st. Louis boys range
In age from 8 to 10 years, the one
charged by his companions with
throwing the stone that caused the
old mans death being IS. To say
that boys at this age are responsible
criminals" Is to make an assertion
that most persons who have had ex-
perience in the world would question.
The boy who stole was interested In
seeing st. Louis" The boys who
threw stones undoubtedly had no
thought of murder. At most, they
meant only to annoy their victim. The
st. Louis boys will be tried in jul
venile court and, II convicted, they
will be sent to an industrial school
not to q prison. The Brookport boy,
should the milling people insist upon
prosecution, will not have any such
advantages. Very few Of the small
towns and cities of the country have
juvenile courts and practically none
of these communities are provided
with places of confinement for youth
full wrongdoers. Consequently, chill
dren who violate the law In such |
places must be treated as all other
offenders are. The only difference is
that In some states the law prevents
sending juveniles to states prison.
However, prior to the trial, they may
oe lodged in town jails with common
offenders. They may be kept thus
confined for weeks. Finally they are
ried, Just as older offenders are.
There is no attempt made to learn of
nc, environmentsof the accused or to
tudy any of the intricate problems Of
outhful criminality with respect to
heir relation to the prisoners partic-
lar case. His fate Is decided by a
lry and he is sent away, sometimes
. penitentiary and sometimes to a Z
eformatory. In some states there is
n actual difference between these
wo classes of institutions. In many i
tates there is only a theoretical diff
srence. It Is often an, open question &
neither boys and girls come out OF
lese institutions better or worse,
orally than when they went in.
here is always the danger that I'M
IS juvenile offenders are entrusted
the care of highly trained and a
oroughly sympathetic keepers their
lprisonment will make them con- n
rmed criminals. II they are nat
ally predisposed toward crime and
ciousness, much greater caution is
quired than In the cases of those
no have offended through no crimi-
4 motive. Our juvenile courts In Ct
e large cities are performing hui
unitarian work, but there is yet a
eat opportunity for the improve
snt of reformatories to which many
nvicted children are committed. eli
Id there Is also urgent necessity for
more general adoption of the ci,
venile court system in the smaller
for throwing children In
1tact with criminals, even when 1t ri,
done legally, may be greater
ong than the children's offense

morrow will say:
Improvement Is more In evidence
this week, but Irregularities in wealth
or and crop conditions and ebb and
flow movements In trade and industry
prevent general characterization of
the situation, House and trade job
bers and wholesalers is not usually
active and efforts TO attract business
by clearance sales and liberal adver-
tising have not been altogether sue
ceSSful. There is a further apparent
gain in the optimism with which the
outlook for the more distant future is
viewed, contrasting rather sharply
with some of the reports indicating
backwardness Of demand for immedi-
ate consumption. The shoe and leath
er trades are In better shape, due part
ly to the great strength of hides, and
the finished products Of sole and up
per leather.
