WHY BOYS GO WRONG

Boys go wrong because of:
City life, which is artificial
Tenements and flats, which have
supplanted homes.
Too few Fairgrounds and city
parks. - -sassd
The average policeman, whom the
boy regards as his enemy.
The courts, which are stern and
machinelike.
Present day school system, which
fails to hold and interest boys.
Divorces by parents, which drive
them to the streets.
Exploitation by child labor.
Unregulated recreation.
These were the reasons assigned
by Prof. w. w. Fiske of Oberlin Col.
lege, Ohio, before the Sunday school
workers institute. He recommend
ed big brother in every block to
regulate the play and work Of his
younger fellows. N

BY JANE whitaker.

AS strangers they met, and mo-
ment paused as the hurTying crowds
thronged by, some with smile and
some with frown and some with a
broken sigh; and the One had looked
so long on herself that for others her
eyes were blind, and the Other had
gazed into human hearts and the
light in her eyes was kind.
Then a girl of the streets strolled
through the crowd and the clothes
she wore were lewd, and the hollows
showed in her caTmined cheeks, and
the light in her eyes was shrewd. And
the One who had looked so long on
herself puckered her lips in sneer,
and the One who had gazed into hui
man hearts let fall on her cheek a
tear.
And the one woman said: eff the
girl is bad, there's nothing that one
can do; and girl who is good is al
ways good know what l say is true.
And the girl who is bad has herself
to blame for bad she wanted to be.
The girl who is good am good my
self-and the credit is due to me-.
81, too, am good, and have always
been good" the other one softly said,
"but never worked from dawn till
dark, and never went hungry to bed.
1 never shivered in winters chill;
never suffered alone. 1 never was
cooped in a furnished room while my
heart cried out for a home.
81 never was forced to mend my
clothes when they long had passed
their use. never cringed to the man
above; never stood abuse: l never
was offered the cup of love to drain
if 1 paid its cost, and know if 1 dared
to push it aside the joy of my life
would be lost.
"My blood never ran in fever heat
that could not be checked by my
brain; nor cried for mate with a call |

traitor, denounced Dreyfus to the court. He detailed the facts nroving the be- trayal of secrets. the money which he (Henry himself) had received and di- vided with Esterhazy; and then turn ing to Dreyfus he exclaimed: Behold the traitori"
 The judges were so much in doubt
 >garding the guilt of Dreyfus that tt was necessary for the conSpirators % spring the secret "dossier" upon them to gain their desired decision. Thus 1t was that Dreyfus was convicted and was condemned on false evidence, se- cretly and illegally communicated to the court.
 The heart of the prisoner sank with in him as the sentence was pronounced He was publicly disgraced and de- ported to Devils island on Jan. 5, 1895. It was not until 1899 that the unfort- unate prisoner was brought back to France for retrial by court-martial, and even then, so strong was the anti Semitic and military prejudice that ne was found guilty with "extenuating circumstances" though ten days later he was 'pardoned" by President Lou bet.
 It was not til the Cour de Cessation ordered a further investigation, and on the 18th of July, 1906. decided that his conviction had been based on a forgery, and that Dreyfus was inno- cent, that the agitation came to a final conclusion. He was then re- stored to his rank in the army and promoted major. It was one of the greatest conspiracies and one of che most unjust convictions in history.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Impotent Effort.

Mir. Editor: Tn his brief letter in this mornings issue of The Bulletin Bachelor' seems to be fairly over come with merriment. If the absurd dawn upon him there Is certainly hope that his mental condition is improv- Ing. The ridiculousness of his posi- ton was apparent to others some time ago. Truly he had best not let the attractions of anti speakers woo him to inspire him to break loose in print with such puerile arguments as he has recently given utterance to. It is in- deed most appropriate for him to hark back to Confucius and other ancient worthtes. The past is the only place for the unchanging stand-patter to look for inspiration. Had such ideas prevailed in the days of old, we would still be living in caves and wearing the skins of animals Throughout the history of mankind there has been a constant struggle between those who would chain the race immovably to the past and those who would move onward toward something wiser and better. As James Russell Lowell wrote:
 'history's pages but record One death-grapple in the darkness
 twixt old systems and the
 Word;"
 A few centuries ago the idea that men might follow the dictates of their own conscience was regarded as the greatest Of heresies and only by the blood and sufferings of untold mar Vrs was this right obtained Later, those who dared to question the di- vine right of kings were candidates for the dungeon or gtbbet. Some sev- enty or eighty years ago those who attacked the peculiar institution" of slavery were the subjects of mob vio- fence and were execrated by all prop erly conservative people.
 or course proper amount of con- servatism is needful in social and po- lftical life. We must use the land marks of the past in shaping our fu- ture course But the efforts of such people as Bachelor to arrest all pro- gress and inf1ict the doom of staGna- ton upon humanity will be as impo- tent as was the edict of King Canute to check the rising of the tide.
 Respectfully,

UNCERTAIN MEXICO.

From the very outset the Mexican question has been filled with uncer- tainties. No sooner has one point been considered in a fair way to a settle meht than it has involved other mat ters, stirred up opposition in the op- posing force or been f1atly turned down. so that encouragement and gloom have been alternating as fa- vorites with great regularity and par ticillarly so since the opening of the mediation efforts.
 Much interest is now manifested over the answer which Carranza will make to the proposition from the fnedi- ators. Thoughe it took some time to findyit out; the purpose is to establish peace throHghout Mexico. This coun- try has apparently planned on securing the fulhIment nEsits demands, as the pesnlt ofsthe Tampfco incident, through modification which involves the elin1i- nation of Huerta.

AUTHORITIES TOO 4lADv-.KE..


 When as an excuse for striking down an art gallery attendant with an axe an English militant declared we have been too ladylike." it was an express sion which might better hNsve come from the authorities. Militantism has been started and increased for a pur- pese.s namely, the advertising of the cause which has been far more effec- lively set before the people of other countries through educational means. 1t has gone from bad to worse until 1t has reached the point where even the federation which it has received Is bound to he stopped before long.
 Thrauxisout the wave of crime which has been created by the leaders of the movesnett the authorities have en- deavored to hFiag it as little into the Hnaehgnt as pa9sissie. They have done their trtssssSt to prevent the making of u,sityr'x bat it is a question, with the bur,,ins of old and historic churches. tho sisshing of valuable art treasures and the contempt for the lives and rights of others. whether such position can long be maintain ed. It must be doubtful whether any such martyrdom would mean any great advantage to the suffrage movement. Rather have the disgracefu1 efforts of the past strengthened the belief that those people should be dealt with in accordance with the law as any other criminal. Their whole plan has been one Of deliberate devastation from which they have relied upon the hun ger strike to free them They have not only set back their own cause but injured it elsewhere. It is time for the English authorities to, announce that their '1adyiilce" enforcement of the law in the past has been aban- doned and henceforth all must pay the penalty alike, hunger strike or not.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Life's Restrictions.

Our modern world is in the throes of revolution and rebirth. Naturally 1t Is a time of Fermentation and con fusion. In such a situation if great things are to be done we need to be strong and or a good courage. With weaklings no progress can be achieved. Men of depth, with strong roots. men great enough to serve cause for the cause's sake and in the face of heavy sod, this is our most important need.
 Where the waves of humanity stream back and forth. endless. distinction less, how shall they seem of import ance to us? How shall we seem inn portant to ourselves? How shall the individual be something special, where he sees that he Is just a particle in a mass, or feels that he is only a num- ber-street number this. house number that? Our city life is kaleidoscopfc. We live in a vortex. More power therefore, to our back to the land movement
 Then, for another thing, there are our nerves. On account of our neutral sensitivity. impressions easily and swiftly come and go. To-day we are betrayed into a storm of enthusiasm for a cause that is perhaps good, but also perhaps quite worthless: tomor- TOW we turn to another It is a neu- hunger for change and ney- city that impels the modern man. He lives in a fever. and his ideals are often fever dreams. Such can be no strong soul Strength of soul, this means capacity to retain important impressions a lifetime.
 The remedy for our ills? To be- come personalities. To meet and mas ter. our new problems, our feebleness and distraction and disunity must be replaced by inner concentration. poise and power. And this is to be keyed together in our experiences into per- sonalities

REPLACE MECH EcT BY PREvEN-
 TICN

; The matter of fire prevention Is one Of great seriousness in every city and it grows in importance in accordance to the size of municipality. How to get the most effective observance thereof has given much concern to city authorities. There are those who recognize and assume the responsi- bifity but there are others, as occa- sions frequently bring to light, who fail to give. either through deliberate inattention or carelessness, the least thought to such matter either for the protection of themselves and property or for the safety of others.
 For the purpose of overcoming such a dangerous tendency there was urged before a conference of the mayors and city authorities of New York state. the enactment of a law which would
 make the owner of premises where a fire occurred liable for the cost of put ting it out and also for injuries to firemen in process provided it could be shown that such owner had not observed the legal requirements for tho safety of his property. This sug- gestion came from J. O. Hammitt. chief of the fire prevention bureau or New York city. whose experiences in such cases, where property owners rail to accept the suggestions from the authorities but realize the value there of too late. is the same, though much greater. as that of heads of fire departments in every city.
 Such a law would force the owner to the precaution and vigilance which he neglects and if preventive measures are going to render the service of which they are capable some such method of forcing attention thereto is likely to be delayed to no very dis tant date The prevention of fires. not the collection thereafter, is the real purpose of such law.

STATE TAKES AND DEBT.

Connecticut is not the only state which is deeply concerned over the state tax and the increase in state debt They are undesirable features of state business which cannot fail to secure public attention and call for . better consideration of the needs and resources of the state. At the present time Massachusetts is dis ts1rbed over the prospect of the state tax being increased by over two mil lion or from eight to ten million doi- lars because of the appropriations which will be necessary to carry out the actien of the legislature.
 It was only a few years ago that the business of the commonwealth of Massachusetts could be conducted upon a tax of a million and a half doliaZs. but despite the fact that it has grown to eight million and that generally accepted as necessary there seems to be no inclination to hold it there 1t is the same story as that of Connecticut, where the legislature piunges wildly ahead regardless of the constantly increasing difference be- tween resources and expenses. It was only few years ago that Connecticut was withont debt, but 1t. now faces an indebtedness of seven million and good prospects of a regular state tax unlens different consideration is given to the conduct of state business. The condition of the finances should be hxed in the minds of the legislators from the very opening of a legisla.- tive 'session and be the guide for the making of appropriations. Unless such a watch is kept upon the treasury the highest service cannot be rendered Debt and taxes will pile up without much help. but 1t is in keeping them down and stfli giving consideration to the needs of the state that the great est service is rendered

TO DESTROY ANTS.

The warm, damp days so frequent in spring always bring ants. The only way to get rid of these insects is co destroy their nests. But it Is often difficult to locate them A good way is to place little mounds of coarse sugar around. The ants will each take up a grain and make their nest with it, so should be watched.
 When the nest is found drench with kerosene or a. strong solution of car bolic acid. Ants dislike the smell of camphor. This scattered around will keep them away, but as they are us- ually around food camphor Is scarcely practical because of it's strong odor. which the foods may absorb. In such a case try sprinCiing with red pepper.

IIIsr MAIL PAY.

For the purpose of checking the cry of injustice which has prevailed for long time over the lack of fair pay to the railroads for the service rem dered in the carrying of the mails relief seems probable from the bill which has just been reported favorably by the joint committee in congress which has been Investigating this sub ject. Claims of all kinds have been made concerning the inadequate com pensation under the present method of weighing the mails once in four years and establishing thereby the rates for the entire period regardless of the in crease. This has received increased grounds for complaint since the in auguration of parcel post has de- creased the amount of express matter and placed it under the mail contract by which the railroads carry an in creased amount of matter with less return.
 If the committee has determined upon a system whereby the grievance can be straightened out and the gov ernment receive and give honest treat ment there will be cause for satisfac- ton. It is more than likely that there are inequalities upon both sides which can be adjusted, but it has long been obvious that a method of getting at the proper compensation for transpor- tation of the mail exists which is preferable to the prevailing one. 1t is but right that the government should do business in the way which 1t requires other corporations to and not force transportation companies to carry the mail at a loss simply be- cause athe government is concerned. A basis for payment which is fair for all concerned is but right and just and if the committee has secured it there should be no great delay in it's adoption.

WHITE MARKS.

White marks can be removed from the top of table and it can be made to look like new in the following man ner: Snghly dampen a piece of wad- ding with methylated spirit, over which place a piece of white linen rag; screw round at back so as to form a portion to hold with, then ap- ply with circular motion where the marks are. rubbing gently, always in the same direction, until the marks disappear. Then rub well with a dry clean cloth, after which polish with a good furniture cream. On no account must the spirit be put direct onto the linen, but on the wadding, which cover with the linen before using.
