The nation is nesiecting its exceptional
children" the less fit among the little
ones. says Julia C. Lathrop. chief of the
Children's Bureau. in the first annual re-
port Of this new division of Federal ac-
tivity. -.s-.-.s
No State in the Union. she says. at the
present time is making adequate provision
in this regard She appeals for classified
directories of all available agencies deal
ing with children, including institutions
for feeble-minded, crippled, blind, and
deaf, and juvenile delinquents and juve-
nile courts.
She attacks the pSesent methods OF
dealing with Juvenile offenders, even in
the more advanced States She says:
THE inequality of operation of the
Juvenile court laws in this country has
been thus far ignored in the discussion
of Juvenile courts. A small group of the
most conspicuous courts and those best
equipped have been studied and their
methods admired or criticised. but there
has been little attempt to show the lack
of provision for carrying out the laws
which have been enacted and the undue
confidence which hzs been placed In the
bare existence of the laws, regardless of
the fact that their true working inevitably
costly nonpenal equipment
that is, judges and probation officers who
are specially qualified, money at COM
mand for certain cases, and institutions

teaching.

largest city of-Ahat State may be well
equipped with a judge giving his whole
time to its administration. salaried pro-
baton officers. a comfortable detention

equipment for ascertaining and serving

Again. even where the probation the

State institutions for the training and
care of certain children may be lack

defeated. For instance, into juvenile

children who are plainly unable TO pro

MR.. WILSON'S POLICY
PRAISED BY ALASKAN
c. F. Cheek. of Juneau. Pays Tribute
to Chamberlain for Putting
Through" Railroad Bill.
RESOURCES HARDLY REALIZED

There you are again: the first question
you ask me about Alaska is how cold II
gets up there and how much gold a man
would be able to dig up within a couple
of weeks time"
c. F. Cheek, prominent business man
of Juneau, the capital of Alaska. laughed
heartily as. sitting in the lobby Of the
Winston Hotel yesterday afternoon. he
was approached by a reporter for The
Herald. with the question referred to.
Mr.. Cheek, who. as a native Missourian,
is close friend Of Speaker Clark, spent
the past three months in Washington on
a mission, the nature of which he re-
fuses to divulge. and is ready to re-
turn to the near Arctic regions, where
he has been making his home for ten
years He is secretary of the Elks'
lodge at Juneau. .-..-
Mr.. Cheek paid high tribute to Sena-
tor Chamberlain, of Oregon, for putting
through" the Alaska railroad bill and
otherwise working for Fthe development
of the territory.
For many years past Alaska has been
greatly neglected because Of the lack of
some champion for its cause" he said.
such a champion has at last been
found in the Senator from Oregon. who.
through his untiring efforts and con-
vincing arguments, has finally brought
the country to the understanding of the
enormous resources Of the territory. Not
only Alaska. but the entire nation owes
Senator Chamberlain a great debt of
gratitude.
Credit is also due to Delegate Wicker
sham. from Alaska, but because of the
limited power given Territorial Delegate
he had to fight for four years many obsta-
cles until Senator Chamberlain helped
pave the way and awakened the coun-
try's interest in the Territory
Even the people of Alaska and the
most enthusiastic supporters of its devel-
opment do not fully realize the great
opportunities Of that country, both from
mineral and agricultural standpoint
This is shown by the fact that right near
Juneau. within ten miles of the TreadwelI
Gold Mining Company. two properties
much larger and richer than the holdings
of that concern were not opened until re-
Gently, although for years there have
been perfectly good transportation facili-
ties in that region.
THE mining and milling in that district
now amounts to between 1900 and 1000
tons of gold. Within less than two years
ii will amount to 5000 or $1,000 tons.
And what is true of mining in Southeast
ern Alaska is equally true In agricultural
field and other industries"
Mr.. Cheek was emphatic in his praise
OF the attitude of the present administra-
ton toward Alaska, asserting that II had
done more in the way of constructive
legislation for the Territory than all pre-
vious administrations combined since
Alaska was bought from Russia.
Another great step toward properly de-
veloping the Territory. Mr.. Cheek said, |
would be the acceptance Of Senator
Chamberlain's plan to have board Of |
resident commissioners created for the
supervision Of proper disposal Of Alaska's J

by the State. The bill provides that
such construction and maintenance
shall be conducted under such supervision

upon by the Secretary Of Agriculture and
said officer or officers of said State"

The following forty-two names consti-
tute a roll Of honor composing those
who voted against the bill:
Representatives Boriand. Bulkley.

TIL bill provides only the shadow of
supervision by the Federal government
and vests that shadow in one man, the
Secretary of Agriculture. creating no
board of experts whose verdict or judg-
ment might be used as a weapon against
Cabinet officer who might permit his
political affiliations to sway his judg-
ment in exercising the powers of super
vision vested in him. The bill leaves
plenty Of opportunity for the injection of
just such graft as often creeps into
State road movements. such as have
caused scandals in New York, Pennsyl-
vania and elsewhere. where, of money
appropriated for good roads, about
twenty per cent went for construction
and the remainder was lost in eNtrava-

Tango tunes from which to choose
