TIE JUVENILE LAW.

There IS pending in the Legislature a
bill which has for its purpose the repeal
of the juvenile law and the restoration
of the old system This action is sug-
gested on the ground that in the par
isfes it is not possible to carry into eff
feet the intent of the law.
When the juvenile law was enacted it
was intended that all offenders should
on conviction be placed in reformatory
which was to have been established at
Monroe as provided by an act of the
Legislature, but which, for the want of
necessary appropriation, has not been
made possible The offenders were not
to be treated as criminals in peniten-
..stiissfy Of N prison., but were TO be
brought under a wholesome influence,
and they were TO be taught some trade,
and when at the expiration of their
terms they were given their liberty, it
would be with some assurance that the
efforts to make them better boys would
not have been altogether in vain.
Instead Of repeating the juvenile law,
the Legislature should provide the ap-
preparation necessary to carry into prac-
tice the law as contemplated, and if it
were a juvenile offender convicted at
Homer OF Lake Charles, could be as
signed to the Reform School at Monroe
for Improvement in morals, if possible,
and IN the requirement of some trade
which would lead him to better citizen

The policy in the treatment of juvenile
offenders who have not reached the age
Of twenty-one years by the United States
government has proven TO be of meal

citizens having any knowledge of this

biIities and the duties which comprise

instead Of increasing the ranks of the
criminals which may be beyond reform
aEsons contribute their share towards in
dnstfial progress.
The State of Louisiana should not do
less for its juvenile offenders, nor should

provide the necessary appropriation for
the maintenance Of reform school,

card reached the then prince, with a
generous space at the top for his sig

Irving, James Bryce and Winston
Churchill, and down near the bottom
in a cramped handwriting was the au-
