LIKED TIMES EDITORIAL
ON VIRGINIA DRAMA

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
VIII you please permit just enough
space to the writer of this to say SIM
ply, plainly, that the editorial in FRI
days issue of The Times entitled I'm

is another such gem of human SYM
pathy-of lifes philosophy, of large un-
derstanding, as former editorial which
called forth such general and co-opera-
tive sentiment, namely, OF "One Weary
of Life
We readers can only surnise, but 1t
very strongly suggests the writer OF
that remarkable and far-reaching essay
on life's responsibilities. Such contri-
buttons are almost priceless. There is
no way to weigh the value of a souls
offering. And that Is what such as
these are. There is nothing to be said
after Fridays Times editorial on that
Virginia tragedy, viewed from the
standpoint of the keenest justice-or
tolerance. 1t is the saddest complica-
ton wrought by a spoiled sons lust,
selfishness, irresponsibility, and GRIM

CALLS JEFFERY'S LETTER
AFFRONT TO TAFT

To the Editor of THE TINES:
I read your Mail Bag letters with
some interest; mostly because it is in
teresting to learn how ignorant some
people are, especially those who like
to dash into print under some such
liberal plan as these Mall Bag
columns
However, 1t would seem a good plan
to limit such contributions to those
who can use decent languagei
Anonymous letters are no worse than
such stabs in the back as the con-
tribution of II. s. Jeffery's attack on
President Taft, for. OF course, the lat
ter will not see the letter given such
publicity on your editorial page, nor
would 1t be possible for him to con-
descend to answer 1t even If he did.
This letter is clearly slanderous and
do not believe many of your readers
desire such displays of ignorance
forced into their notice.
Fair play has seemed a watchword
of The Times in the past and your
heading states letters mot objection
able will be published.
We all know who is President Taft.
Who knows who is Fl. s. Jeffery? We
all (who read, instead of generalizing
Government and its officials) know
something of the good work of our
President and will know more after
his service becomes history and 1t
hardly seems meet that space should re
given for such insults-I would like to
hear comments from other contribu-
tors after reading this as well as the

echo with the huckster's incongruous
but impressive cry, ain the name of
the Prophet, figs!"
Nature, the great purveyor, has
nothing in her succulent store more
delicious than an offering of figs OF
a morning while the dew is yet on the
satiny cheek of the fruit. To boy
hood the low, inviting limbs of the
tree are as the ladder which Jacob in
his dream beheld, linking earth with
heaven. Rocked in its well freighted
branches by the crisp, cool breeze, he
finds the pleasure which belonged to
Eden before the fall.
Served at breakfast with the cream,
or even the sugar which pampered
tastes demand, the ripe fruit holds a
distinct advantage over all the cereals
which an ingenious age has popularized.
It purifes the blood and strengthens
the sinews and clears the brain. 1t
starts the day with new song on the
lips of its favorites, and, like love,
lightens all labor.
The figs which have appeared in mar
ket have come from afar, but few fruits
hold their flavor better amidst all
chances and changes. In the name of
the Prophet, there are no untimely
figs.

THE MENACE TO PROGRESS
I'VE DEMOCRACY.

Democrats who want to take advant-
age of the national tendency toward
their party cannot too prayerfully con-
slider the effect of the recent primary
results in Maryland and Virginia.
The Democratic party undoubtedly
faces the most favorable conditions
that have confronted it at correspond
ing period since the campaign of 1892.
But it must not forget that this coun-
try is at bottom Republican country.
Democratic victory will represent pro-
test against the Republican Admins
tration's betrayal of its pledges. 1t
will not be q vote of confidence in
Democracy.
Therefore, the Democrats cannot win
unless they convince the country that
they will serve it better than the Re-
publicans will serve it. They cannot
convince it, by nominating Judson Har-
mon for President. Between Harmon
and Taft the country would see little
to choose; and with the candidates
equally undesirable, the Republicans
would stand to hold the winning vote
simply because powerful appeal must
be made to overcome the inertia which
favors the naturally dominant party.
A few gang-owned delegations from
Southern States, fiocking to Harmon
at the right time, will make Harmon
the nominee. The alliance of the
Southern gangs with the Northern
gangs would put the Democracy before
the country in the worst possible light,
and the result would be a protest
whose force seems to be realized by all
too few Democrats.

On these days the Judge often man
ages to get names Of places where

allowing them to tell him how hard they
will hunt for work. he gives them the
names and addresses where they can ger

He Is Product
Of the District.
Judge De Lacy was educated IN -
District schools, went to St. Johns
College, graduated from Georgetown
University, and received the degree Of
D. c. L. from the Catholic University
OF America lie was associate profess
sor of common law at the last named
institution for several years, and later
became an associate examiner at the
United States Patent Office. He work.
ed for short periods In several other
Government departments and learned
the local judicial system while prac-
ticing law here. He has also pleaded
before the Supreme Court Of the United
States.
Despite his many affiliations and wide
sphere of usefulness. Judge De Lacy In
proudest OF his work, first aid to in
Jured homes"
Proper training is the best gift Of
the home to the child" he holds. And
though its all-important work Is aided
by church, by school, and by play
ground, they can never take its place.
The Juvenile Court is largely an aid
to the home, so that homes may be
made a proper environment for grow
ing children. Whenever possible young
offenders are allowed to win back their
standing in the community in their own
homes, and II this is not possible mat
ters are so arranged that they are not
thrown into contact with the baneful
influence of the adult criminal"
Judge De Lacy's highest hope Is to
bring big cities to a realization OF their
neglect of children and a proper per
formance of their duties toward the
young.

asked an-eight-year-old fiaxen haired
little girl the other day.
I'll get sent to the reform school"
she promptly answered.
And when you die?''
'I'n go to the bad place, sure"
"Talk about your ethics and systems
of morality, that child has a better con-
ception of her relations in life than
most grownups i know, and her testi-
mony in this case will carry just as
much weight as any of these older wit
nesses," the Judge told the audience.
And it did. For, though four or FIVE
grownups told their side of the story,
a petty theft, and got pretty much
mixed up in the course of II, the child
stuck to a straight account, and on her
testimony the offender was sentenced.
1t isn't all pathos at the court, either.
Minstrel shows should never lack for
material as long as Washington's COL
ored population circulate In this court.
