THIS LADS CRAVING FOR GOOD FOOD GOT
HIM INTO CONSIDERABLE TROUBLE
BY JANE MHITAKER

In a cell in the County Jail, alone
with his thoughts, a boy charged
with burglary is awaiting the action
of the grand jury and crying out his
fear of punishment; his loneliness, his
regrets, his excuses, while he humor-
ously yet piteously blends in his let
tiers to his one friend his healthy ami
NAL craving for good food that
doesn't desert him even in the terror
of remorse. 1855
If it can be said that there are
ever excuses for crime, life has offer
ed this boy few.
He has been an orphan for several
years; his best friend, his older sis
ter, is dead. Another sister is shall
low-minded, plying not the plight OF
the boy, but herself for the disgrace
he has brought upon her. His broth
ers so far have done nothing for him.
The home of his older sister was
closed to him by his brother-in-law
as soon as the sister was placed in
her grave and the boy was thrown
out, without work or money, on to
the streets.
He came under the influence of bad
company, youthful desperadoes who
persuaded him, when he was hungry,
to Join them in their crime of robbing
drug store.
And for almost three months he
knew secret fear and remorse and
even little of the comfort of believ-
ing he would never be found out or
have to pay for his one criminal act,
and then the shadow covered him
and he was arrested.
His story and the letters he has
written were given to me by his one
friend, little woman with great
big heart, who hoped that the publ
lation of the letters might serve to
warn some other boy Of the wages
of sin, even while she is doing every
thing in her power to save this boy
from paying to the full extent of the

On more than one - aston since
AIarcn 4. 1913. Pres. W..son has risen
above his party and manifested his
appreciation OF the fact ,hat there are
times when partisanship should be for
gotten. The present instance affords
US another example OF the presidents
lofty purpose The democratic cam
paign Will have to be conducted with
out him. He is engaged with more
important things.
What the president said in response
30 the inquiry of the chairman OF the
democratic congressional committee
as TO whether ne would make a speak
ing campaign this fall was that
america is greater than any party.
America cannot properly be served by
any man who for moment measures
his interest against its advantage"
The patriotic spirit OF the utterance
will not escape the most Obtuse II
reflects the highest type of citizen
ship and IL creates standard OF par
tisanship which should more generally
prevail in this country
What the president said emphasizes
his declared purpose to me the chief
executive for the whole people. not
merely the ex-officio leader of his
party He recognizes himself as the
official head Of the nation and chiefly
responsible for it's welfare during his
incumbency. While placed in this po-
sitiOn by the courtesy of the demo-
cratic party he understands that that
party is only one OF the mediums by
which the people control the govern
ment and choose it's servants.
The country IS at peace with all the
world. The United States has accept
ed as its chief mission the pacification
OF the nations through its example
and it's conduct of international rela-
tions. Great responsibilities rest upon
the chief executive by reason of the
many delicate questions growing out
If that relationship. and the president
has assumed these responsibilities
with a due appreciation OF their sig
nificance. lie cannot in justice to
the nation and to himself turn from
hem ant give his thought and
strength to the election OF certain in
dividuals TO office
The people must attend to that.
Pres. Wilson has manifested the pur-
pose Of his administration. The con
yress now approaching adjournment is
she medium through which much of
this purpose has been accomplished.
The members Of that body must stand
Upon their records. If they have per
formed their duties with the same I'M
selfishness and the seme patriotism
that have characterized the president
hey may safely trust their cause with
the people.

MsDIRECTED INTELmGENCE.

The case of Arthur Raj is one OF
misdirected intelligence. Arthur is
the boy of thirteen who kept the po-
lice guessing for weeks and almost
drove the women of the city into hys-
terics He developed a sudden mania
for stealing and operated so shrewdIy
his detection was an accident.
There was no sordid motive Behind
Arthur's mania. He did not steal for
the love Of money. but he had an in
ordinate taste for sweets and lacked
the means to crafty it. The idea Oc-
Cured to him that he might obtain
the desired funds by stealing and he
adopted the simplest method suggested
by his childish directness He took
money where it was most convenient.
Arthur knew that women are in the
habit of leaving their purses lying
about the house. usually where last
used. and not knowing half the time
where they put them. He knew that
in most instances people leave their
screen doors secured by hooks and
that while they are in one part of the
house it would he easy to slip into the
other part if he could get the screen
door open So he devised a wire hook
with which he could lift the fastening.
Then he wandered about town looking
for opportunities. They were frequent,
as the police and press records will
attest, but he kept his robberies well
lection.
Arthur did not take large sums in
any instance. though the opportunity
was offered. He was satisfied with a
little change. enough TO keep him in
spending money at the soda fountains
and the candy stores. The wonder is
that his stomach held out, but "A srow-
ing boy can dispose Of an immense
quantity of deleterious matter without
apparent injury. He continued to
steal until the inevitable happened.
lie was identified and arrested. and
his case is now in the hands OF the
juvenile officer.
Perverted as 1t was the boy display
ed remarkable intelligence. Applied
&c legitimate ends &c would have
brought Arthur into more savory no
tice II would have foreshadowed the
successful man of business. But that
Arthurs intelligence was misdirected
was not his fault. The blame must
rest on the parents who neglected to
properly guide the mental activities
of their boy.

PROGRESSIVE PRAISES PRESI-
DENT

In his speech in Kansas City, Kan.
last night, opening the state cam
paign for the progressives, Henry j.
Allen declared for the new rule in
county and state affairs. defended
Pres. Wilson's administration in its
Mexican and other policies and de-
clared that the new spirit in politics
called for the elimination of politics
from local and state offices.
THE only argument that is made
for the amalgamation of the progress
sive and republican parties is that
united we can whip the democrats
That has been the aim of all our po-
litical activities as far back as / can
remember. That is the reason we
have made such slow progress in the
development Of government Has it
occurred to you that possibly the DEM
Ocrats do not deserve to be whipped ?
If Woodrow Wilson carries out his
program and succeeds in doing what
everyone comedies that he is trying to
do, ossibly the American people Will
demand his reelection, and why
shouldn't they? That is the new idea,
the new spirit in politics.
IF he fails it will be because his
party is merely the democratic party
and unable to catch the new spirit.
Then his party should be defeated,
just as the republican party was de-
feated
Let us get the vision of the gov
eminent rather than the party.
THE people must first get posses
sion Of the government and then ad-
minister il for the people who live
under it and who pay the costs of the
administration. We can neither re-
duce taxes nor promote the public
welfare upon a platform of whipping
the democrats " - Kansas City Star
