SOUTH CAROLINA NEEDS.
Views of Judge Lindsey, of Denver,
The Boys Friend.

In interview with Judge Ben. b.
Lindsay this morning he expressed
his views on a number of needs of
South Carolina. Being a Southern
man himself he says that he fully
sympathizes with the conditions in
this State. South Carolina is to be
congratulated on the passage of the
bill providing for the establishment
of juvenile court system. This court
Will probably be presided over by the
probate judge as in other states when
the movement was first inaugurated
1t will soon develop and become ade-
Quate to the needs.
Judge Lindsay says that probably
the most needed thing in the State to-
day is a compulsory education law

the specific purpose Of securing the
necessary rights of way and termi-
nails and to guarantee that this
agreement would not be violated, all
the checks had to be counter-sgned
by himself, as chairman Of the spe-
cial railroad committee Of the Cham.
ber of Commerce.
The grand jury then went into ex-
ecutive session and after discussing
the matter for short time it was
agreed unanimously that the appro-
priation OF $4,000 for the purpose
or improving the railroad facilities Of
the county and city of Sumter be en-
dorsed and that the county board OF
commissioners be recommended to
pay over the money Immediately as
authorized by the legislature.

compelling all children to go to
school until IA years of age unless
specially provided for. He hopes to
aid in the fight for the passage of
| such bill at the next session Of the
legislature and will try to spend a
week in South Carolina at that time.
The child labor situation has become
very acute and needs more than the
present statute governing such.
He left this morning for Rock Hill
where he will deliver a lecture to-
night in the Winthrop College Audi
torium. In every state in the union

guided children the right way and as
his friend Mickey of Denver said
! they will not "t'row you down."
1t was great pleasure to see and
hear Judge Lindsay of Denver. His
wonderful reforms in the criminal
court were known TO many of our
people who have been studying his
methods for the last ten years. Nis
address consisted of some of the de-
tails of his court in dealing with
young criminals, with many sugges-
tions as to the criminals older in age
and crime. His plan in part was to
win the confidence of the boy crimi-
mails, and to show them sympathy.
Then when they believed he was their
friend they trusted him. 1t was love,
sympathy, desire to help them. trust
ing them which appealed to all that
was best in them. They were sepa-

washington, March 13.-Revolu-
tionistS, tilibusters or promoters of do.
mestic violence in any country in Pan
America hereafter may not hope for
war supplies of any description from
the United States.
The principle, proclaimed today in
"a concurrent resolution, adopted by
the Senate at the instance of President
Taft. is practically certain to be pass
ed by the House tomorrow.
Though aimed primarily to meet
the lnadequacies of the present neu-
trality laws, to which the Mexican
Government called the Presidents at
tention, the resolution when put into
effect will empower President Taft to
prohibit. at his discretion, through the
issuance of a proclamation. the ex-
portation Of munitions of war TO any
country with which the United States
is at peace.
Anticipating summary action by the
House tomorrow, where Representa-
tive Burleson, of Texas will take
charge Of the measure, war DEPART
ment officials tonight issued instruc.
tions virtually halting all shipments
OF arms into Mexico until the resolu-
ton Is declared effective.
Loopholes for the violation of neu-
trality laws admittedly are many and
professional promoters Of revolutions
in Latin-America through varying de-
vices have succeeded in evading the
statutes. To eradicate this, the Pres
ident told members of the Senate for
eign relations committee and the Tex
as Congressional delegation earIv to-
day he required discretionary author
ity to rule upon individual cases or it
would be difficult to maintain peace
hereafter in Latin-America.
Senator Root Immediately framed
resolution to give to the President
comprehensive power and unanimous
ly the Senate passed the measure.
To the Mexican rebels who captur-
ed Juarez recently. with the sole pur-
pose Of possessing port Of entry
through which they might import
arms unrestrictedly the resolution will
prove great obstacle. Today's acton
is departure from the policy of the
United States during the Madero revo-
luton. when ports of entry held by
the rebels received arms and am
munitions if regularly consigned to
merchants.
Senator Root used but one argu-
ment in favor of breaking the prec-
endent. however. that thousands Of
Americans in Mexico, fleeing from
their homes there. were imperilled by
the very arms which had been ship
ped into the country by Americans
Major Gen. Wood, chief Of staff Of
the army, said tonight probably
larger border patrol will be required
to enforce the new measure.
The department. Of justice will ex-
ercise close scrutiny upon all exports
Of arms from this country and it is
believed unlawful shipments will be
taken hereafter at points Of origin.
