SENTENCE FOR YOUTHS
is REDUCED TODAY

Their First Offense,

yer Younts, the three young men who
nefd UP and robbed the proprietor of
East state street fruit store had their
sentence reduced from 2 to ID years 10
to Ia years. =
In order to do this 1t was necessary
that the charge of robbery to be with
drawn ana for a charge of grand lar
ceny to be substituted Accordingly.
the records of the court show that the
young men plead guilty to grand lar
ceny instead of robbery.
The court has shown a great deal of
ieniency all of the way through for the
ooys might have been charged with
burglary which would have resulted in
their being sentenced to from 10 to 20
years in the penitentiary.
The fact. that the boys have never
peen arrested before although two Of
them are suspected of other crimes. is
wnat persuaded the court to reduce
the sentence. The effort to have them
released on parole failed.
Plead for Leniency
Nathan Love made a plea for lenien-
cy, as did the other boys. but the court
told them that lawlessness among a
certain crowd of young men in Ham
mond would have to stop and that he
would have to make an example Of
them.
He said that the police first thought
that certain crimes that were being
committed were due to the invasion
Of crooks from Chicago. but they had
found that Hammond boys were re-
sponsible.
He said that a stop would have, to he
put to this kind of work. and that
the only way he saw of doing ii was
TO severely punish the young men who
had been caught He said that certain
young men in Hammond would have to
stop their loafing and go to work or
they would find themselves in the same
boat
The young men will be taken to the
reformatory at Jeffersonville TODAY and
will begin the serving of their sentence
at once. In eleven months. upon good
behavior. they will be released on
parole. but must remain in custody Of

THE PRIZE HYPOCRITE.
Some time ago The Day Book
prophesied that that immoral
hypocrite, the Tribune, would
doublecross the new Progressive
party.
The Day Book didn't expect to
see that prophecy fulfilled for
some time. But the Tribune
showed its hand today.
Here are few excerpts from a
Tribune editorial this morning,
which show just how much the
Progressive party can depend on
the Tribune:
"The election of Frank Funk
as governor of Illinois would
set the state back"
Frank Funk is the Progressive
candidate put up to defeat that
fence-straddler, Deneen.
"The right of the Progress
ives to submit county ticket
is not denied, but the folly of it
is obvious"
It was Roosevelt himself who
demanded that the Progressives
put up complete and county tick
cts.
'The local Progressives
should be interested in obtain
ing for Cook county good gov
eminent regardless of its polit-
ical color"
Meaning that the local Pro-
gressives should support the Tri-
bune's local bosses.

Frances Kellor, a well-known
New York woman, has attained

In this capacity she is able to aid

WHAT NEWARK OUGHT TO DO.

NV EWARK forbids its boys to shoot off frecrackers and fire.
AM works on the Fourth of July, but provides them with
nothing TO take the place of the old-time celebration.
The Newark boy may save his nickels and dimes instead for a
trip to New York, where Young America is recognized as worth
taking into account. He will find many attractions to compen-
sate him for the loss of his frecrackers, and when he gets home
he will ask his parents: "Wby can't we have something like
that in Newark The allsummer round of pageants and pleas

Week, which will see thousands of Boy Scouts encamped in
Military fashion, probably on Governors Island.

HOW 1T STRIKES PRESIDENT HADLEY.

MR. ARTHUR 7. HADLEY, president of Yale University,
llO is an educator universally respected. His standards of
ethics and of courtesy are equally high, and he would
not utter an implied rebuke to the former head of another great
university unless he thought it was urgently called for. Ad-
dressing the Yale alumni at their annual meeting yesterday,
President Hadley mentioned the candidacy of Governor Baldwin
for the Democratic presidential nomination, and, referring to
Professor Baldwin's REIMBURSEMENT of a large part of his work
at the Yale Law School. remarked that the governor was doing
it without having sought a grant from the Carnegie Pension
Fund, and in that respect had "the advantage over another com
petitor for the nomination. The application was too obvious to
require DIR. Hadley to name that other competitor.

PERTH AMBOY'S DELIVERANCE.

NVlRTuAL settlement of the Perth Amboy strike, which
Y centred in the big smelling works, but affected by sym
patty several other factories, restores prosperity and
tranquility to that fastgrowing industrial community. A sub
stantial advance of wages to the toilers and the abolition of
the bonus system which tempted men to overwork are so much
gained for the cause of humanity. 1t is bad enough that three
lives were lost in the rioting among the turbulent foreign popu-
lation; it would have been worse if the lives had been those
OF p~eaceable citizens or defenders of law and order. The acting
mayor proved himself possessed of civic spirit and sagacty as a
mediator. 1t is to the credit of New Jersey that the militia was
not called in. They were not needed, and there would not have
been even a suggestion of their use if the civil authorities had
taken earlier precautions to prevent violence.

JUST A SkIRMLSH so EAR.

MVoiHiNG was settled by the first days proceedings of the
AN Republican national convention. That Taft will be nomi-
mated by the steam roller and Roosevelt by a secession,
that Roosevelt will triumph over fraud and receive the nomina-
ton of an unbroken convention. or that both will fail of a ma.
lority and a compromise candidate be named. are all possibilities
at The hour of reassemblng today. The vote of sos to. SOP by
which Root was made temporary chairman is not a conclusive
test. The apparent Taft strength must be reduced by the in
s'ructed hooseyeIt votes that went for Root, at least eighteen of
them. And who can say if the President will hold all his in
structed delegates or if he will not lose half a hundred of those
on the fraudulent list when the real fight comes on the conven-
ton floor? There was no Waterloo at Chicago on the ami.
'ersary of Waterloo day. 1t was but a skirmish. The great
clash of arms may be deferred until the weekend.

AN ECONOMIC SUGGESTION TO WOMEN.

~ OyERNOR MARSHALL of Indiana, has evolved a great
Aeu economic thought. He says that the woman who wants
to do good in the world should never pay more than $40
for a dress nor $40 for a hat. 1t is to be feared that woman
kind generally will decline to remodel its clothing and millinery
budget upon this mere mans basis, even though he be a Gov
prnor. But a conference of federated boys clubs was a queer
nlace for this utterance.
