PARENT AND CHILD.

There are indications in some sec tion of the state in taking upon itself the responsibility for the welfare of the child instead of permitting it to be taken by the parents, and the claim is made that if left to the home there would be less expense and more true reform. It is claimed that formerly given switching in the woodshed are now disposed of bX the juvenile court, the culprit being placed on pro- bation, which has been likened to a ticket of-leave man. Surely this is not the general opinion, for it appears that were ii not for the state many children would suffer from defects in physical makeup and would also suf- fer because of the imperfections of home surroundings which many par ents show no inclination to improve. There are no people who are better able to discuss this question with more clearness than those in charge of schools, who have a good oppor- tunity to observe the children and contend with.
 It may seem strange to d large number of people to know that there are parents who send their children to school without breakfast and ex- pect them to nfske as much progress as do those who come with their stomachs filled with warm food. It is true that the parent is losing con- trol of the child, but it Is a good thing for the child in many instances. There is little of the rowdy in every trained it is likely to break out in more ways than one, and when par ents decline to give him any atten- tion the work must devolve upon the state, hence We have juvenile courts and the probation system to save the little fellows from going to jail or house of correction to he disciplined when they should be given it at home It is true that the state is taking the place of the parent, but it is the parent who has made it necessary The reformation needs to begin with him instead of the child, for the state is doing much that should be done in the home and which formerly was done there.

Baldwin and MaIlan.

There is a curious political rumor from New Haven to the effect that democratic leaders in the next few days will abor to bring about com bination of the forces of Congressman Bryan F. Mahan and Governor Simeon F.. Baldwin.
 According to the New Haven state ment this combination would run Mahan for United States senator and nominate Baldwin for third term as governor There is some doubt how ever, over Governor Baldwin accept ing such an arrangement. He has said he wants to he nominated for United States senator. to sit in the seat once occupied by his father. He might not care to run again for gover- nor
 The suggestion of this combination is most unnatural. because of the dis like which Congressman Mahan has invariably displayed to the dis tinguished governors brand of politics. The reason for this dislike Is not hard to find. Congressman Mahan is fearless partisan. We haze not by any means agreed with his position, but have always accorded him the courage of his convictions. He would IoI pe lould poSlllE dS d SdlHl Wl'h hc intended to play the devil If he intended saintly actions in the public cause he would say so, while with equal frankness he would declare his satanic brands if he believed them best from his point of view If is this courage in the New London man which gains him so many admirers and so much support He is made or the stuff of men who do things an" he is no hypocrite about methous' He is always frank in statlhE ms position.

PECULIAR PEN NAIIrIES.

Strange indeed are the ways some magistrates have for punishing people brought before them for violating the law. A man was found on one of Chicagos streets one morning this week at o'clock and was making q disturbance. He was arrested and when arraigned in court the next morning the judge sentenced him to six months The culprit begged ana begged for a modification of the sen tence, saying that he is accustomed to attend parties, but the judge re- fused to budge and the sentence stands.
 It was not long ago that a judge in a certain time because he claimed he had no one to take carc of him and had become drinker. There can hardly be any doubt but such magistrates have no legal authority to impose such sentences, because In the latter case the woman who would marry man under the circumstances would run good chance of acquiring a drunkard for a husband. and no one has any right to even recommend such a marriage. So far as the man is concerned who must get home .t a o'clock it would be for his interes, to comply with the order of the court for the reason that he would baye better health, probably more money and will be better able to perform his usual daily labor. A policeman, how ever, would hardly be justified in ar resting him if he found him on the street after the hour specified by the court. Such sentences are usually imposed on men who are not inclined
