shown that there are many, many
ways for the spirit of adventure to ex-
press itself that do not conflict with
the law, but, even more, mean health
and strength of body and mind, aand
increased efficiency and usefulness.
When the first impulse OF the spirit
brings the boy into court, he is not
sentenced as malefactor. although
he may be punished by confinement.
His sentence does not carry him
among hardened criminals, from whom
he may absorb the real spirit of ami
mostly toward law and order, but gives
him a chance to prove that he can be
an upright, honorable citizen.
III boy is sent to jail" said Mrs.
Joseph T. Bowen. who was one OF tho
agitators for the establishment of the
boys court. there is every chance to
believe he will emerge hardened
criminal, his life warped and wrecked
by evil associates and surroundings.
It has been well said that the jails OF
this country are postgraduate schools
of crime-attendance compulsory.
The advisability of maintaining a
public defender of all boys brought in
to this court is being seriously consid-
cred His work would be to find out
all the extenuating circumstances and
to act with the public prosecutor for
the best interests Of the defendant as
well as society.

CHICAGO BOYS COURT
THREE WEEKS OLD
Only One Of its Kind in America 10 Ex
peeted TO Prove Of Great
.,. Benefit.

CHICAGO. April S.-Completing it's
third week Of operation today, the
boys court. the only tribunal Of its
kind in America, was heartily en-
dorsed by jurists, police officials, and
sociologists who have watched with
keen interest the work of the new
court Under the direction Of Munich
pal Judge Thomas F. Sculiy, the boys
court has taken charge OF cases of all
male offenders of either the state
laws or city ordinances, between the
ages of II and 81 years. The results
thus far obtained, social workers be-
lieye, will lead other large cities to
establish a boys court, fashioned after
the local bench.
The prime object Of the new court Is
to save the first offender. whose age
would bar him from a hearing in the
Juvenile court, and previously required
his case to be heard in either the
municipal or criminal courts. In the
words of Judge Scully, the intention of
the boys court is TO save boy
from himself and from society for the
benefit OF both
The offenders brought before Judge
Scully are made to feel that the court
stands ready to help them out of their
difficulties IL they will play square
The court recognizes the spirit OF ad
venture" that pervades the nature OF
every healthy lad and does not seek
to curb It, but rather to direct this po
tentiai force along the rough lines, to
win the youths friendship and tc
make him know he is to be directed
along the path Of good citizenship

The school bond issue carried yes
terday by majority of Isl votes in
the hottest and biggest school bond
fight keokuk has been in during It's
history. The total vote cast equalled
that of an average city election. There
was grand total of 3.OS5 ballots put
into the boxes by the voters in six
Eours yesterday afternoon. An aver
age OF 8 2-3 votes per minute was
maintained. The women's vote carried
the issue. The majority of the mems
vote was no by 40 votes. The wom-
ems votes on the yes side were suffi-
cient to overcome the lead and to roll
up majority OF Isl.
This victory for the issue means that
a $4,000 school house will be erected
in the place of the Garfield building, a
$4,000 school building will be COM
menced in the seventh ward and two
additional rooms will be built on the
Lincoln building.
The supporters OF the bond issue
won their fight only after the most
strenuous efforts. They managed to
change the sentiment OF the commun-
ity in the past week, practically, and
to nose out a victory at the polls.
While it was apparent to those who
were watching the count that the ma
jority would be on the right side, still
there we're some anxious moments.
Especially SO was the time when two
OF the judges seemed to have struck
an avalanche of nos in the women's
ballot box.

Mrs. Matless was called up at mid
night last night and informed of the
result She expressed her happiness
at the result. Other women who were
assisting her who heard from The
Gate City early in the evening that the
issue probably would carry expressed
their pleasure over the result The
women who worked with Mrs. Matless
are giving her the lions share of the
glory for the victory OF yesterday.

autos maintained something like a
regular schedule, and picked up GER
tain neishborhoods at certain times.
One entire club was carried to the
polls after its meeting was over. A
delegation of seventh ward voters
were picked up at Nineteenth ana
Main, Twentieth and Carroll and sew
eral other places.
During the afternoon it was found
developing by the women in one GER
tain school district The women work
ed all the harder to get out a showing

Women Are Best Voters.
An interesting comparison of the
spoiled ballots can be made. The
spoiled ballots voted by the women
was two, while the men spoiled ten
ballots. The argument that women
would not vote il they had the ballot
was punctured yesterday. Anyone who
got In the jam and crush at the polls
could see the fallacy Of such an argu-
ment
Another interesting fact about the
ballots was that the women who voted
yes. folded their ballots only once.
The womens' ballots in the negative
were usually folded up two or three
times This was found to be the case
in nine out OF ten instances.

How the Women Worked.

The remark vas frequently heard
during the campaign for the bonds
that the women's vote would carry It.
Mrs. Leonard Matless, who originated
the petition which was responsible for
this election. figured that the moth
ers would carry the bond issue. and
she formulated plans whereby 500
women who had children in school
were urged to vote. Other women
were solicited and these were asked
to get others out to the polls.
The campaign work did not stop
here, however. Several women took
charge of seven seven-passenger cars,
and worked from one until seven
o'clock, picking up the women voters
and bringing them to the polls. Who
says there is no luck in odd numbers?
The women who were In the cars,
helping Mrs Matless were, mrs. J. P.
Hornish, Mrs. J. o. Boyd, Mrs. Ed. A.
French, Mrs. Corydon NJ. Rich, Mrs.
Harry ]. Reeves and Mrs. Henry S.
Walker. Mrs. Matless, herself, made
the seventh leader for the cars. Miss
Anne B. Davis, Mrs. Smith Hamill and
many others gave the use Of their cars
and helped to get out big women's
vote.
Two Anti-suffrasists.
There were lot Of funny expert
ences which the women came up
against in their campaigning. One OF
these was the discovery Of anti-suffra-
gists in the city. Out Of all the wom-
en- who were solicited to go to the
polls. only two refused. Their plea
was that they did not believe in wom-
en- voting.
The women also came up against an
exhibition of woman's inalienable
right, that Of changing her mind. Sew
eral of the women who were hauled
to the polls frankly declared that they
were going to vote no instead Of yes
as they had promised at first, because
they changed their minds. However
such incidents were not frequent.
