Juvenile Delinquency.

When looked at from the standpoint
of effectiveness in diminishing crime
one is led to ask whether or not the
money spent for the conviction and
punishment of criminals is well
placed. Crime does not decrease
in proportion as the amount Of
money spent in the punishment
of criminals increases. On the
contrary prisons and jails seem to
have comparatively little effect. The
punishment Of the adult criminal is
an essential for the protection of So
ciety, but 1t does not seem to diminish
crime or the tendency toward crime
materially.
Are we beginning at the right place
to prevent c~riminalityT Or is the
human race so depraved that It is be-

good of humanity at neart, have only
recently been getting at the solution in

have been established FOR the purpose
Of nipping the criminal tendency in
the bud and starting the young rascal
on the highway to responsibility, may
be doing much good, but still they have
not yet checked the tendency to crime.
But there is another question to be
asked. Are parents doing what they
should to make the juvenile court un
necessary? One person has sarcastic

much as they did years ago and the
children are Just as good" Possibly, for

Our Foreign Flour Market.

1t would seem from recent reports
that the American miller is meeting
with strong competition in the foreign
markets. So evident is this that the
consular service of this country has
seen fit to mention 1t as n of the
features OF American trade. In many
markets imports from the United
States have shown a decided decrease
and those from China, Argentine Re-
public and Canada have greatly in
creased. Especially is this true in
Asiatic countries, where China is COM
peting and in the West Indies. where
Canada is coming into favor.
Only a year or so ago millers from
this section OF the country were ship
ping flour to ports all over the world
in record breaking quantities. China
was one of our best customers and
the West Indies always bought from
us when they could. But other wheat
raising countries are coming to the
front and we must contest with them
for the market.
One of the reasons given for the
new development in the flour market
is the increase in the cultivation of
agricultural lands the world over.
South Africa and Australia have been
forging to the front. Argentine Re-
public has been a strong rival for
years and is now stronger than ever
| Siberia and especially China are ad-
vancing with wonderful rapidity. But
the strongest competitor of the
| American miller is to be found in
Canada. Canada with its hundreds of
millions of u~ndeveloped wheat lands
and It's rapidly growing population is
making things interesting for us. AL
ready Canadian millers can ship flour
directly from Montreal, st. John and
Halifax to the West Indies and COM
pete with us so successfully that mil
lers in the north are aroused with the
evident determination to go after the
trade"
Over against all this, however, should
be placed our constantly growing home
market which, as a matter Of fact,
takes more and more of the home pro,
duct and leaves less n less for ex
port to other countries in normal
years, The high price commanded by
American flour right at home, now
aud for some time past, affords proof
positive that we are not suffering seri

SECULAR SHOTS AT PULPIT.

Chicago Record Herald: The treasurer OF
a P%ittsburg church recently embezzled

contradiction that a man who does a thinE

Philadelphia Bulletin: Bishop Whitehead
of this state is declared to have advised
the members OF the Episcopal church to
al stain from reading newspapers during

adherents OF the denomination to which the
bishop belongs. Not many intelligent per-
soils Of any sect will be apt to think that

Leslie's Weekly: We are busy discussing

lished in New York the New theater, de-
signed to cultivate the highest and best in

fluence from the box office. No dividends
are to be paid, but any profits accruing
are to go toward a permanent fund de-
voted to the enlargement of the original
enterprise. The drama needs to be fostered
in Just the way the New theater plans to
do it, and we have no criticism of the
princely philanthropy back of the project,
But we raise the question, If thirty men in
New York can give S3.OOO,OOO for the stage,
are there not throughout the country 100
millionaires who could together put up a
$40. 0O0, 900 fund to pension old and needy
ministers? Business men of the churches,
here is a practical proposition. We believe
you can put 1t through.

versity of Pennsylvania, in the course
Of a discussion on the impending crisis,
to unmask the miscreant, as follows:
Another cause for the present crisis
lies in the new status of women. Forty
years ago a man could live comfortably
on $1,000 a year. Under the magic of the
wife's hand this 81, 600 became 81, 500 or
$4,000. The wife created more value by
industry in the home than her husband
did out OF It. In her hands cloth became
clothes, flour bread and fresh fruits the
winters preserves. Now all things are
uone outside the nome and must De pur-
chased with the $1,000 income. The wife
no longer contributes to the family in

increased STANDARD of elaborate dressing

Youth Versus Age.

The old man is no longer supposed
to be in It and should take a back
seat for the young man, with the strik-
ing efficiency which is often attributed
to him. On top of this the "Osler Die
tum' of a few years ago, proclaiming
that the man of sixty should b. sent
to the happy hunting grounds-so to
speak-and turn the affairs of state
over to the young man with the highly
schooled mind, his steady and vigor-
Gus hand and his unlimited nerve. But
these statements to the contrary not
withstanding, the older head is still
seen where it used to be, especially in
the departments at Washington where
many Of the most efficient of our pub
lice servants have passed the three
score mark.
The question of the age limit Of eff
~ficiency has been raised again this
winter, apparently by those anxious for
promotion at Washington and the
charge is also reiterated in this
connection, that these federal offices
were snug little for political
hasbeens" and FOR the inefficient rela-
tives of the man higher up" Thorough
Investigation has developed the fact
that some Of the most efficient men
in the departments of our government
are among the gray boards Of the
force. Many of them have grown old
In the service and have seen at least
one generation pass, since entering
upon their duties there. But, to tell
the truth, the efficiency of some of
these men seem to increase rather than
decrease with age, and although slower
in action and motion their precision has
been markedly developed, and, on the
whole, they are more valuable than
ever to the department in which they
work, up to the time of actual de-
crepitude.
While young men may have the call
there is room still for the old young
men. Premature disability is common
here at an age when Europeans are
supposed to be at their best. But the
fact still remains that some OF the
wisest and most efficient servants OF
the public are to be found in the ranks
of the old guard. This must not be
taken as disparagement of the ability
of the young mar of today.
Young men are more efficient than
ever before and are taking hold Of the
affairs Of the world with a hand SO
strong that enterprises of stupendous
proportions are being accomplished.
Yet the young man must not get the
idea that respect for the ability OF
those along in years is not necessary
The young man may be more active
and have more nerve, but he must
learn by experience, which he can gel
only with years.

increase in the advantages for the
