HOW THE JUVENILE COURT IS
JUSTIFYING ITS EXISTENCE.

If anybody has had doubts as to
the wisdom of establishing the Juve-
nile Court those doubts ought to be
removed by a study of the annual re-
port of Corporation Counsel Thomas
and the information conveyed through
the news columns from day to day as
to the work the court is doing.
Over $4,000 in fines was assessed
by the court the past year in nonsrp-
port cases. There were 2,259 Juvenile
cases and 557 adult cases prosecuted:
These figures give only the barest
idea of the activities of Judge De Lacy
and his staff. Nothing is said of many
hundreds of cases in which there is no
formal prosecution. Scarcely day
goes by but what a good sound lecture
to recreant husband or wife or to the
two heads of quarreling family brings
about a reconciliation and perhaps
prevents the breaking up of a home.
Many a man given to spending his
wages over the bar instead of on the
needs of his family is made to realize
his duty, and the result is more bread
and meat for the table and more clothes
for the wife and children. This work
ing out of the problems of home where
the specter of nonsuppOrt stalks about
is one of the most valuable offices of
the Juvenile Court.
Then there is the reclamation work
among the boys. The old saying that
boys will be boys is illustrated a
good many times every day in Juvenile
Court circles. Boys of tender age, not
criminals, but recklcssly headed in the
direction either of harmful mischief or
actual crime, are brought in in large
numbers. In a court not specially
adapted for dealing with these cases
it is appalling to think of what might
result in the way of additions to the
reformatories or other penal institu-
tions Generally a good sound talk,
possibly re-enforced with a sentence of
subjection to the maternal slipper or
the parental strap, is sufficient to
bring the offender to his senses.
The old idea that an offender brought
up before a court is to be dealt with
as a criminal headed straight for per-
dition is giving way to common sense.
1t is impossible to estimate the ex-
tent to which the list of decent, law
abiding citizens is added to by the
ministrations of a juvenile court with
a level head and an adequate under
standing of human nature

WHY NOT LET THE COUNTRY
KNOW?

The daily news of markets, business,
and finance has been for some time a
daily report of rumors, uncertainties,
fears, and misgivings as to the atti-
tude of the Government toward those
great organizations which conduct the
big affairs of the country. ..
Uncertainty is the most difficult OF
all conditions for business to meet
For many weeks uncertainty has been
the dominant note.
Mystery has surrounded the moves
of the Government functionaries who
have authority to enforce the anti,
trust law. President Taft a day OF
two ago declared that he was opposed
to amendment of the Sherman law
and believed the courts should work out
the problems involved in its applica-
tion.
There is every indication of Ad,
ministration purpose to press antitrust
prosecutions this fall and winter with
great vigor. The indictment of the
United Shoe Machinery officers is fol-
lowed by persistent rumors that the
International Harvester and United
States Steel investigations are COM
pleted and that definite moves are
presently to be made in their cases.
In political quarters it is commonly
believed that President Taft is pre-
pared to stand or fall by his record of
trust prosecutions.
Business is entitled to know some
thing about what is in reserve for it.
This thing of sleuthing around with
huge mystery; of administering ten
parts of scare to one part of punish
mcnt, is just about the worst that
could be undertaken.
Taking the whole world together, it
is perfectly plain that industry and
commerce will not stand the strain OF
long campaign OF menace, threats and
even though there are criminals in
business. Business ought not to be
destroyed in the hope that the male
factors may be caught in the ruins.
Will not the Administration, through
some qualified spokesman, speak a
definite assuring word? May not the
country know what it must expect? 1t
would be better to know the worst and
prepare against it than to have this
suspense drag along.
President Taft could perform no bet
ter service than to devote a careful
speech to explanation, not of his
academic views of what ought to be
done about the trusts, but of what
he and Attorney General Wickersham
INTEND to do about them.

The men who were thus robbed of
their votes were progressives; opposed
to the notorious Baltimore city and
Maryland State gang. They were in a
general way allied with the movement
for Lee for governor.
There is every reason to believe the
same kind of counting was done in
other precincts of Baltimore, and that
a recount of the votes of the whole
city will prove it.
German was nominated in the State
convention by A MAJORITY OF ONE

similar election methods employed by
the German Smith machine in various
counties has been brought forward.
There is every reason for belief that
an approximately honest poll and count
would have crushed the old gangs, in
State, city, and most of the counties.
Is it possible that with this demon
stration staring them in the face the
people of Maryland will go to the polls
on election day and vote to retain the
unspeakably rotten old organization in
power!
Can any appeal to party regularity
justify an Endorsement of criminality
such as this?
Can the old gang, which did this
crime and which will profit by it Il

does. But does he intend to continue

cumstancesH If SO, he ought to be
beaten by the voters, and they ought

are counted as cast.
That is the only course that car

A PICTURE OF "OURSEL'S AS
ITHERS SEE U.s."

Even the Canadians admit that they
were a bit surprised to discover how
thoroughly they dislike us. That seems
to be the real explanation of the land
slide against reciprocity. We are not
popular in Canada, and the discovery
of the extent OF prejudice is rather un-
comfortable.
The people of the United States not
only have no such sentiment toward
Canada, but rather are distinctly
friendly. They were unprepared for
such a display of hostility. Without
question Canada sacrificed her sub
stantial interests in order to crafty
this ancient prejudice. 1t is obvious
that Canada is a good deal more pro-
vincial than we have assumed. Like
wise, it is plain that Canadian politics
is more sharply Influenced by the big
capitalistic interests than we have re-
allied.
Canadians are wont to regard the
United States as a hotbed of corrup-
tion, of rotten politics, of archaic gov
ernmental devices; and Americans have
been disposed to concede that the
northern neighbors were superior in
these regards. But after the demon
stration of the overwhelming power
which the &C. P. r." the big financial
institutions, the tory press, and the
protected manufacturers WELD, it must
be said that this country has not yet
given so striking a proof of sub
serviency TO prejudice and interests as
Canada presented in the recent election.
1t is not pleasant to realize how
unpopular the United States is across
the line, but it is comforting to con-
template that this country is decidedly
broader in thought than the provincial
neighbor, which, more British than the
Britains, has slapped in the face a
friend that Britain has been so anxious
to conciliate and cultivate. Doubtless
the United Kingdom, despite its
broader view and cosmopolitan percep,
tions, permits interest quite as much
as sentiment to dictate it's attitude to,
ward the States. 1t must be said
however, that the Canadians, in un,
masking the real ultra-British feeling
toward the United States, have done a
poor service of loyalty to the empire.
If Canada had rejected the pact after
discussion of its merits, no resent,
ment could be felt here. 1t takes two
to make a trade.
But to have reciprocity rejected with
the holier- -than-thou air of determine,
tion to have no trade or truck with
despised Yankees-that is just littlt
unpleasant. If it has no unpleasant
effect on relations between the two
branches of the English-speaking rae.
it will be because Americans are
