Juvenile Incorrigibles.

The d1mcultieS that confront the Judge
of the Juvenile Court are illustrated by
a case that Judge Latimer has just dis
posed Of by commitment to the National
Industrial School of a boy of thirteen
years. who has from an early age mani
tested a propensity for theft This boy
who is of good family, whose parents are
attentive to him, keenly DESTROYS of his
moral welfare and employing every pos
sibe method for his correction, has thus
far proved incorrigible in his tendency
to steal The case is the more remark
able because the child has a well defined
and highly developed inventive faculty,
and promises, if he can be trained into
respect for the law of property, to de-
velop into a most useful and successful
member of society. In the circumstances
commitment to the institution seemed
the only possible course, and yet it is
questionable whether transfer from a
good home TO association with a large
number OF other boys of more or less
hayward tendencies will supply the cure
The other day boy six years of age,
AT Racine. Wis, was taken to court
charged with numerous crimes of a
serious nature, mostly thefts. This child
has been stealing ever since he could

causes OF abnormal tendencies in man.
kind and in removing them. In numer-
GUS instances cures have been effected in
cases that have baffled the phrenologists
There must be something physically out
of adjustment in the case of a child who
habitually and persistently does wrong
IL Is not natural for children to break
laws. They may err in ignorance and
through impulse and heedlessly, but all
most invariably when properly corrected
and admonished they yield to moral in
fiuence. Psychologists aver that certain
types are hopeless. habitual criminals,

tage, but simply because it Is lawless.
To this class must belong the children
who are occasionally brought into court
afflicted with immoral tendencies, and the
question il whether they can be restored
to moral health by training, or perhaps
some stroke of surgery.

Oscar w. Underwood.

Mr. Underwood's transfer from House
to Senate would be the most notable thing
of the kind in twenty-three years. 1t was
in 1890 that John 6. Carlisle left the
House for the seat in the Senate made
vacant by the death of James B. Beck.
At that time, however, the republicans
controlled the House. and Mr.. Carlisle's
opportunities by no means equaled those
of Mr.. Underwood today.
Mr.. Underwood in the Senate, as did
Mr.. Carlisle, would take high rank at
once. He would bring to the aid of his
party there ability, experience and per-
sonal popularity. He is as much re-
spected today as any man in public life,
and is rated as the foremost man in his
state. Though without the prestige as
a lawyer that Mr.. Morgan possessed, he
is probably better politician than the
great lawyer ever was.
Between Mr.. Underwood and Mr.. Bank
head the closest relations exist. Mr..
Bankhead managed the Underwood presi-
Dental boom last year, and managed it
well. Had Mr.. Underwood been nomi
mated and elected President, Mr.. Bank
head would have become one of the most
influential of national figures. So that

serving together in the Senate, Alabama's
interests would be we'll cared for.
When Senator Johnston died two sug-
gestions were made concerning the men
ton of Mr.. Underwood name in connec-
ton with the vacancy. One was that his
place as leader of the House gave him
more nower than would seat in the Sen
ate. Another democratic House would
mean a continuation of his leadership
and great prominence in matters of leg
islation in 1916.
The other suggestion related to the
Senate as presidential hoodoo. If Mr.
Underwood was still cherishing presiden-
tial aspirations, why put them in peril
by joining a body from which presidential
candidates are never selected?
On this latter point Mr.. Underwood may
be reasoning in this way: If Mr.. Wilson
makes success of his administration he
is certain to be renominated. and proba-
bly, by reclamation. If the administration
fails. the democratic nomination in 1916
will not be worth baubee to anybody.
Why strive for thing of no value?
Mr.. Underwood has not yet announced
for the Senate, but il he does the an
nouncement will be of national interest
and Importance. Speculation will then
play not alone around the campaign in
Alabama, but also around the situation
in the House, where, in case of Mr.. I'm
derwood's success. a new leader will be
necessary There are competent men in
the majority ranks there. but not one who
in the circumstances may be considered
Mr.. Underwoods equal for the work in
hand.

Gossip About the Cabinet.

and nobody objects. That form of deal
ing in futures should not be eliminated
Mr.. Bryan tops Mr.. McReynolds in
public interest and political Importance
His presence in the cabinet expresses
more than that of all his colleagues
combined. He was the democrat above
all others deserving recognition at Mr.
Wilson's hands. Had he been passed
over for anybody else a mistake would
have been made. In choosing him a
risk had to be taken, but better that
than the charge of cowardice and in
gratitude that would have been leveled
at Mr.. Wilson had he sighted the man
who had converted him to Organism and
elected him President.
To Mr.. McReynolds Mr.. Wilson owed
nothing. He had perhaps never heard
of him until the time came for forming
cabinet. Then the Importance Of Sc
curing a good lawyer for the attorney
generalsnip was present, and Mr.. Will
sons attention was directed to the man
who as an assistant attorney general
under a republican administration had
done excellent work in the trust busting
line. Why not put him at the head Of
the department about which he knew
much, and where more work of the kind
Mr.. McReynolds had performed remained
to be done?
But while Mr.. McReynolds brought
neither political prestige nor following
into the cabinet, and had no claims of
any kind on Mr.. Wilson. now that he
is in the Department Of Justice he could

The Mania for Speed.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The terrible railroad accident the
other day has undoubtedly sharpened
the edge of public criticism touching
railroad matters and has intensified
the demand that the responsibility be
now placed, and that punishment be
applied SO vigorously as to have a de-
terrent value in the future. These de-
mands are both legitimate and voice a
conservative public opinion, as we'll as
the ultra radical. But, after society
has vented it's wrath on the offending
corporation and has hit every official
head in sight there is a sense in which
the general public cannot hold itself
absolutely guiltless when these horri
BILE railroad accidents occur. In our
time as never before, all human con-
duct and every possible form of care
lessness have social value and. in
measure, reflect social traits No one
who travels far and fast can be un-
mindful of the fact that tho American
craze touching transportation is ex-
pressed in the single word speed !!
The average American traveller thinks
Of swiftness Of transit first, and if he
thinks of safety at all. it is apt to be
after he has found himself among the

MIR. Root presided over the Chicago con-
yenton which nominated Mr.. Taft, and
in his speech Of notification told Mr.. Taft
that his title as nominee was without
stain Mr.. Roosevelt bolted his party s
action, and charged with other things
that he had been robbed by the republic
can national committee.
Upon all questions of national policy
the Root Of today Is the Root of the day
when Mr.. Roosevelt declared him to be
the best qualified man for public bust
ness in the country. He is still pro-
tectionist, still sound money advocate,
still a believer in the sufficiency of the
Constitution to meet all national require
ments. The party that came in under
Lincoln and went out under Taft is still
good enough for him.
The Roosevelt of today calls himself a
progressive. He has abandoned the party
that made him, and characterizes 1t in
opprobrious terms, accusing it of having
become the tool of the money power
And yet he still holds to the principles
for which the party stood when he led it,
He still declares for protection, for sound
money and for the regulation of trusts.
What parts Mr.. Root and Mr. Roose-
welt Is populistic in origin. The 1nlt1a-
tive and referendum and the recall are
not in the republican creed, and Mr.. Root
objects to them strenuously. He particu-
larly objects to the recall as applied to
judges and judicial decisions, for the
reason that it strikes. he believes, at the
independence of the judiciary.
Mr.. Roosevelt is committed to these
things. and insists that they must be
Incorporated into the platform he sup
ports. He secured them at his conven-
ton in Chicago last year, and has them
in view for 1916.
A conference between the leader Of the
American bar and the man who knows
no law at all about what is best for
safeguarding the courts from popular
clamor would be interesting, even if it
produced no agreement.

State.Paid Campaigns.
from the Columbus Ohio state Journal.

The sentiment is growing throughout
the country that the expenses of candi-
dates before primaries and regular cleo
tons should be paid for by the state. The
Springfield Republican predicts that in

paying election expenses. OF course. the
opposition to 1t will be strong. especially
among the bosses and their hangers on.
who now curry favor with the candidate
by furnishing the money to elect him. 1t
is all trading game, in which the public
treasury la expected to furnish the money
to pay the balances. 1t is a great deal
better that the campaign money comes
from the treasury honestly, than as
graft, as IT does under the boss system.
It very often happens that men are NOM
mated in order that they may be bled for
election expenses. They are nominated
because they have the dough We know

cause he had the money to run the cam

A New Unity Proposition.

As Il substitute for the proposition that
national convention be called to adjust

and the bull moosers a proposition is
offered that the matter be left to two
men. Let them meet, and confer, and

The two champions advanced and fought

Theodore Roosevelt and Elihu Root.
They were once in the closest agreement
on all political questions. Mr. Root was
the principal adviser of Mr.. Roosevelt.
He took charge OF the State Department
at Mr.. Roosevelt's urgent request, and
helped make the Roosevelt administra-
ton a success.
Last year the two men parted company.

The President and the Currency.

suppose the currency issue goes over
to the regular session. Suppose the Sen
ate majority develops little backbone.
and after disposing Of the tariff bill goes
home for a rest
Suppose the November elections are
not encouraging to the administration
Suppose Massachusetts, elects repub-
lican governor. Suppose the President
loses his home state. Suppose New York
votes against Mr.. Mitchell, the Presi-
dents candidate for mayor. Suppose
elsewhere the returns show a revival of
the republican party.
What effect would be produced on Con-
gress? What diminution should we wit
ness of the President power over that
body?
At present that power is unprecedented
The leaders in both houses not only con-
suit but obey him. They visit and report
to him frequently. When he returns to
town from a few days absence they are
first at the White House with informa-
ton about latest developments and re-
quests for his latest opinions.
But while his party friends in Congress
are eating out of his hand and appear
ing to be refreshed. it is no secret that
ence. They are really not in agreement
with all OF his views. and chafe under
the necessity of supporting some of
them. If they had thought such a step
prudent, some would have revolted sew
eral months ago.
VIII these men revolt if the November
returns encourage an assertion of views
on their part? The President is a lead
er, and has the courage of his place and
opportunity. As an educator he became
accustomed to obedience. and as a poll
tician he has applied some of the
methods and shown some of the spirit
cratic press and democratic public opin-
ION have sustained him.
But in order that he may continue to
exact obedience as leader he must keep
his hold on the situation. If his grip
reiaxes. if democrats do not muster at
the polls in strength in November, he
may find it impossible to repeat at the
regular session of Congress the perform
ances which have marked his course at
the present session. Anything resembling
or suggesting a turn in the tide may put
backbone into men who at present are
apparently spineless.
This fact may enter into the Presi-
dents purpose to secure if possible a
currency bill before November. His
power now is very great. It may not
be so great next winter or spring. He
wants to do business with Congress on
this question while everything seems pro-
pitious for him.
