THE BOYS COURT

THE BOYS COURT.-A few days
ago read in one of the daily papers
an article which referred to the July
grand jury, which was held over, as
being an elephant on a rampage. The
article said that the July grand jury
had suddenly discovered its own
strength and authority and without
any assistance from the states at
tOrney decided to investigate cOndi-
lions in the boys court.
l sincerely trust this investigation
will reveal the lax methods used in
dealing with boy criminals. Twill cite
a case which came up in the boys
court, in which a piece of West Side
property, owned by my dad, was
robbed Of 5000 worth of plumbing
and fixtures by two West Side char
acters known as Smithy and Hoff-
man.
The building refer to is located at
326 N. Ashland aV., a three-story
building, two flats of which are va
cant Smithy and Hoffman were
caught with the goods, which con-
sisted Of two burlap sacks filled with
the abOVe-named plumber. They were
caught red-handed by one of the oc-
cUpants of the building and Frank
Brady, a member Of the firm of o. M
Brady & Co., real estate dealers.
Smithy and Hoffman, whose ages are
Is and 20 respectively, were hailed
into the boys court on a charge of
burglary. For some reason unknown
the burglary charge was changed to
one Of petty larceny and the case
was disposed Of by reprimanding the
boys and imposing a very small pen
atty.
While waiting for this particular
case to come up at the court another
case which attracted my attention
was one in which an old offender
who had been stealing stamps and
convicted previously, and guilty be-

THE FRANK HANGING. - The
people of the north should blush for
the southern states. 1t seems impOs-
sible that in this, a Christian country,
we should have people who have no
more regard for the laws or control
over themselves than to commit such
an atrociOUs crime as the one COM
mitted in the hanging Of Leo Frank.
The men who hung Leo Frank are
not one bit less guilty than the muir
derer of Mary Phagan. Two wrongs
never made a right.
AS for the hanging of negroes, let
me say that if southern women were
more modest about allowing black
men access to their private rooms
they would not be coveted so much
by the black men.
We had an example of that in our
own state short time ago. A black
man is no more than human, after
all. Give a white man the same privi-
Iege and see what he world do.
The crimes committed by the ne
groes in the south can be traced di-
rectIy to the laziness of the white
women. They will permit the black
men to be in their private rooms to
do work that they should do them
selves. The temptation is placed be-
fore them and then they must be
made an example of.
Why not let the women take their
punishment. It is coming to them.
The God that made the white man
also made the black He had home
of his own, but was brought here by
the southern people.

may not be the exact words, but that
at any rate was the purport of this
letter.
The truth hurts sometimes and I
think the truth is simply this-that

empty mockery and does not for a
minute compare with Yankee COM

COMPULSORY ENLISTMENT TO
SPLIT ENGLAND
London, Dec. 29.-Greatest parlia-
mentary battle in many decades
foreshadowed by authoritative an
nouncement that government intends
to introduce next week bill providing
for CONSUMPTION.
The lines are being drawn. An in
formal conference of labor members
of commons now in London was
called. Other laborites are enroute
here from provincial districts. Trades
union heads, who early in the war de- /
nounced CONSUMPTION, were exchang-
ing messages. Before parliament
meets to hear from Premier Asuuith
labor party may make known its de-
cision on compulsory service.
Some hope was expressed by con-
scription leaders that laborites will
not solidly oppose modified form of |
consumption understood to be plan
ned by government, though reiterat-
ing their opposition to principle of |
compulsory service. Solid opposi- |
ton of Irish party, if Ireland is in
cluded in CONSUMPTION, is expected.
In many quarters it was reported to-
day that government will exclude Ire
land to escape antagonism of John
Redmod and other Irish leaders. At
same time such coarse is bound to
draw vitrioic attacks from other
members.
Best estimates today were that less
than 100000 unmarried men eligible
for service and without dependents
would be added to service, great ma

GRADING CREAM
IN OKLAHOMA

The Oklahoma state board of ag-
rlculture has passed an action Te-
quiirimg that all cream purchased in
the state must be according to
grade, and that the price between
grades must be at least three cts. a
pound for butter-fat. The order
went into effect last December, and
is being received with much favor
by those who take the palms to pro-
duce the best cream. The three
cent margin proves an incentive to
produce the better grades, and more
than pays the extra cost.
The order stipuIates THAT amy
creamery, cream station operator, or
anyone who handles cream for COM
mercial purposes, whether manufac-
turning in the state or shipping out,
whether am Individual, direct buyer
or direct shipper, person, concerm or
company, whether operating stations
or not operating stations, must
grade Ul6 cream dulu pdV IOT III Oh
al diff ferential of at least three cts.
a pound for the fat. Failure to do
this is to be construed a misdem cam
or, punishable by fine of not less
than $40 NOT more than 500 upon
oQnviction. Permits also may be re-
voked i'm case of violation of the Or
der.
There are three grades. The first
must be cream which is free from
visible dirt, undesirable flavors and
odors, palatable to the taste, and
free from lumps. 1t must be of ev-
en- texture, and sweet of sharp
sour, if it meets the other require
ments. Cream which is foamy, yeas
ty, cheesy, or slightly stale, hnd
which will not come up to the re-
quirements for first grade cream,
lis to- be classed as second grade. No
third grade cream can be accepted
by amy creamery company. Cream
mot good enough to pass as first
or secord grade, and cream which
contains Oil flavors or is musty,
dirty, moldy or putaid, must be
classed as third grade.
