CALL PARENTS INTO COURT.

The appearance in the Juvenile Court Of
hfteenyearold boy to answer the charge of flirting"
and the statement by the police and juvenile officers
that they intend to break up the practice of boys Of
that age lettering on the streets and playing the
"masher" arouses some curiosity to what the
parents of those boys are doing.
If the boys are homeless, then it is societys
duty to take them in hand and assume parental
control Of them. If not it would seem that much
good might be done if the parents were hailed into
court and given lecture.
Much of the work of juvenile court would be
spared if parents even attempted to do the duty
that is theirs to do. We are accumulating over
supply Of unused rods and surplus Of spoiled chill
dren. Manifestly, it is not the duty Of any
government to turn itself into a kindergarten for
the training of children who have parents and a
home; and when such a condition thrusts itself
upon community it is the parents who should be
treated to court discipline, rather than the children

OF consideration as his own successor will be cred
tied widely to the work Of Mr. Munsey's Boston
Journal which has been not only the sole Roosevelt
paper in Boston, but has led the fights to secure for
the people those instrumentalties Of popular con-
troll that have been so effectively used. The Journal
led, indeed, was the fight for the Presidential pref
erence primary law in Massachusetts,. The old
regime fought with desperation against it, but lost
and the legislatures passage Of that act was the first
nail in the coffin Roosevelt won his Massachusetts
victory because of that law; he could not possibly
have won without it,
Now, the Bay State legislature has before it the
proposal for a preferential vote on United States
Senator. The same elements and interests are
fighting it to the last ditch but its passage seems
well-ngh assured because of the powerful support
that is coming up from the people. Its final concre-
ton into law would doubtless the forced retire
ment Of Mr. Crane if he remained in the field. The
Boston Journal had laid deep and strong the foun-
dation for popular fight against his retention. In
its editorial exposition of his alliances and interests
that made the best public service impossible, and in
series Of articles from Mr. Welliver at Washing
ton, The Journal set forth the facts about Cranes
support Of Lormer, his affiliations with the General
Electric, the American Telephone and Telegraph,
and other vast public service and financial concerns.
1t made perfectly plain why Senator Crane was
not the sort of Senator which the present time and
temper want; and its effective work really rendered
inevitable the course that Senator Crane has taken

AMERICAS POLICY

FLAYEOAT MEETING
Speakers Declare Money Is
Being Wasted by Scheme
of Uncle Sam.

How the United States has Jagged be-
hind other nations in scientific road
building was emphasized at the dinner
In honor of M. Chargueraud, inspector
general of roads and highways Of
France, at the Willard last evening. Not
that the guest of honor or any of his
associates said so, but Americans pres
ent made the statement.
THE United States, through it's State
aid policy, annually spends $40. 100000 on
its roads," said Congressman Lever of
South Carolina, and at least half of
this sum is wasted" Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson told the diners too little
attention had been paid road engineer
ing by the schools and colleges of the
country.
Our educational system" said Sec
retary Wilson, has been based on
theological system with the idea of saw
ing the souls In the next world of the
men who have raised the devil In this,
and not with q view to teaching them
how to build roads. We have to take
young men who have received general
course in engineering and give them
graduate course In road engineering.

The effort to prevent the discussion of an excise
law-any excise law-by one of the local civic
associations, upon the ground that the discussion Of
religious and political subjects is barred would be
amusing were it not for the fact that those raising
the objection partially befuddled the association into
accepting that point of view
If the question of an excise law involving, as it
does, the morals sobriety law and order, thrift, ad
minstrative expenses, penal and charitable organi-
cations and institutions, and revenues of city is
not a proper question for a civic association to
discuss, then but little remains for it to do.
The proposition that a civic association cannot
discuss anything that has to do with legislation upon
the ground that it is politics. anything that has
to do with the home upon the ground that it is
religious, leaves it up to the saloons to determine
what shall constitute the standard Of sobriety.

SENATOR CRANES RETIREMENT.

In formally announcing that he will not be a
candidate for reelection to the Senate, but will
retire permanently from politics, Senator Winthrop
Murray Crane of Massachusetts has taken step
whose significance reaches far beyond the confines
of his State or its immediate relation to Senatorial
personnel and leadership. 1t is but year since
Aldrch and Hale laid down the leadership and Crane
achieved recognition as head of the old regime Of
the upper chamber. Now Crane steps out.
The voluntary elimination of himself from public
life indicates that the Senator has recognized the
dawning of a new era, with whose inspirations and
purposes he has no touch or sympathy. 1t means
shortly the voluntary or forced retirement Of many
others Of his type.
These men, long dominant in national affairs,
going because they of the past; because they
do not understand, do not feel WITH do not appre-
cate, the sentiment of today. They are not up to
the demands of this hour. They stand in the same
relation to presentday problems, conditions, and
timents that the old Democracy occupied, before the
civil war, toward the paramount issue of that time.
Senator Crane is an attractive, lovable man per-
sonally; he has been good deal of philanthropist
in a modest way; he has mutitudes Of devoted
friends and has been good citizen Yet with all
this il is still true that he is not the sort of who
could be useful to the countrys service in the great
period Of forward movement, OF constructive work
that is being ushered in

THE EFFECT OF REITERATION.

II is scientific fact that the continual friction
Of water will wear away the hardest rock. Also, to
fasten one so that drop of water will strike the
same spot in his forehead every minute will produce
insanity. 1t is furthermore we'll known that boiler
makers deaf because of the persistent pounding
they hear, and that operatives of machinery whose
work is purely mechanical and always the same
suffer from the atrophy of their other faculties.
1t certainly would be an interesting contribution
to mental science if the effect upon the standpat
mind of the universal, persistent, monoonous reit-
Grafton of State after State against the present
Administration. might be observed and registered.
We see outward and physical signs of the effect
from time to time in the announcement of some
distinguished part of the standpat body that he is
no longer desirous of keeping up the unequal strug-
gle, but the real effect of all this upon the mental
processes of the Things That Are will probably never
be accurately recorded.

OHIO GLoRIoUsLY ENDS THE FIGHT.

One Of the arguments blazoned on the billboards
throughout Oho-all of which were leased to the
Taft forcesset forth that every Republican Presi-
dent elected since Lincoln save only Roosevelt, was
a native Of Ohio. Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison
Mckinley, Taft-six of them, all Ohioans. Would
State pride permit a break in that sequence, with
Ohio taking the direct responsibility?
Ohio has answered, and State pride has done a
bigger, nobler, bolder thing than to stand by the
native son. 1t has stood by the nations CHOICE the
nations interests, the nations welfare
At the hour of writing it is yet impossible to
tell whether the President has captured anything
beyond the four delegates from Hamilton county.
Those appear the only ones out Of the States forty
eight, of which he is certain. Colonel Roosevelt is
assured the control of the State convention, which
will give him the Instructions and from thirty ght
to forty-four delegates.
For President Taft there must be sympathy. He
has suffered keen humiliation; the keener, per-
haps, because as he has admitted in his speeches,
he cant understand" But for the country the Re-
publican party, and the militant, determined progress
svism of Ohio, there can only be congratulations.
The contest is now conceded to be ended. For
month il has been plain that Mr.. Taft was beaten;
but his hackers, animated by intense hatred, were
determined that at least Roosevelt must not be nom-
mated They clung to every straw of hope that they
might save enough to enable them to tie up the con-
venton and nominate some outsider. But Ohio has
brought them realization that that plan is utterly
hopeless.
Nowhere has there been such proof Of the
peoples intent to their own government, in their
own interest alone, as Ohio has given. Yet in nc
State that had the opportunity afforded by the Pres
identia preference primary or its equivalent, had
Taft carried the delegation. The States that have
had such opportunities for test and their delegates

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
On the 18th OF May, 1899. the first
meeting for International peace was
held. This meeting concerns the good
of the whole world. A great movement
was made to have war come to an end
and much was accomplished. How i'm
portant this n! To save for the people
of the world over ten billion dollars =
year. not to think OF the suffering and
misery which war always brings. Since
that time eleven important cases Of
international controversy have been
settled. Think OF the lives that have
been saved. In the Nineteenth Century
our fourteen million able bodied men
were sacrificed In war. What an i'm
portant step this peace meeting was.
Is 1t not worthy of being celebrated the
world over as the most Important event
which ever took place? Therefore 1

should order public holiday through
the whole United States to celebrate
the first great movement toward inter-
national peace. FLOYD H. CREWS.
