TBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune.1
Boston, Dec. 2S.-Expressing the opinion
that Governor-elect Eugene n. Foss OF
Massachusetts is ambitious to succeed
Henry Cabot Lodge IN the United States
Senate, Senator Carroll S. Page, of Yer
mont, to-day declared that should Mr.. Foss
be elected Senator he would be misflt on
either side Of the Senate. Speaking of Mr..
Foss. who is working for the defeat Of Mr..
Lodge, Mr.. Page said:
Mr.. Foss occupies a somewhat peculiar
position. He assumes to be a protectionist,
while his party, or the large majority
thereof. is demanding tariff for revenue
only. 1 doubt very much if Mr. Foss would
be welcomed by the majority of the Demo-
Gratis Of the Senate If he were, in the hocus-
pocus of Massachusetts, politics, to receive
what many believe he is ambitious to re-
ceive-an election to the United States SEN
ate. He would be a misfit on either side
of the Senate

EDUCATE THE POLICE.
Women Hear Prof. Brooks
Lecture at Waldorf.

II was A startled group OF women who,
in the new assembly room Of the waldorf
Astoria. Yesterday afternoon heard Profess
sor John Graham Brooks declare that II
Judge Ben Lindsey got through his Den
yer campaign against corrupt politics with
his life he would be lucky man.
It was the sixth lecture in the series ar
ranged BY Miss F.lizabet Marbury for the
women's branch of the National Civic Fed
Grafton on THE Dynamic West, ana the
! subject. The Delinquent Child or the
Workings of the Children's Court. nat
urally turned on the man who founded it.
Apropos OF the rage of Denver politicians
because Of exposures made BY Judge Liuds-
ley in current series Of ElaEazins articles.
Professor Brooks said.
The feeling ia SO bitter against Judge
Lindsey that don't know what viii hap
pen II they don't kill him he win be
very lucky man. Barring that. the institu-
ton he has formed IA 81 deeply rooted that
J am sure society won't stand by and see
II harmed
The women were visibly aEitat-d at the
awesone suggestion made by the speaker.
and one woman came down 70 the front
row OF seats with the question;
In case Judge Lindsey should forfeit his
life 10 the cause. do you not think the
people Of the United States would consider
lynchinG justifiabe?F'
Professor Brooks refused to commit him

women OF his interest IN the youthful
criminal. an experience which extends over
a period of twenty years. He related many
incidents which led him 70 feel with Judge

getting control OF the gang" spirit and
showing its weakness against the side Of
society.
The gist Of il all is. TO know what the
gang spirit means and focus it on any
member that wrongs society said Pro
fessor Brooks. we must train judges to
deal with these criminal cases with that
particular sympathy which wishes TO help
reclaim them, rather than that desire to
punish boy for A crime he is not wholly
responsible for.
Professor Brooks told OF Brandt Whit
locks campaign as Mayor Of Toledo and
the reforms he IS working il the Police
Department.
What We need most, went on the
speaker. IFS properly educated police We
need them more than educated clergy. It
IS much safer to have the former if We
have to chose between the two"
High tribute was paid 10 the women Of
Colorado when Professor Brooks said:
The old political parties would have
smashed Judge Lindsey If they could. but
the sympathy OF the women OF Colorado
saved him"
In conclusion the speaker declared that
prisons are positive manufactures OF
crime and that he believed that the future
would see colonies for delinquents TO which
agricultural features and high class indus
tries would be added, participation IN
which would build up the physical, as well
as the moral side Of the boy.
