, larly with whoever they may be placed
and therefore are a drag upon ordin-
airy procedure and at best, are unable
to fully realize and comprehend the
routine of class life.
Third-Their own self respect, which
must be awakened before they can be
improved, will not be elevated by
promiscIous association because of the
consciousness of their own depravity In
comparison, as well as by the newt
able contempt of their fellows.
Fourth-The evil influence which
the introduction Of sech an element
must produce upon the sweet tempered
and orderly class is of itself a matter
of apprehension.
Fifth-As at present constituted the
classes proceed upon theory Of reg
ularity and Of almost mechanical pre-
cision which must be hindered by any
irregularity or incapacity.
There are also suggestions in ap-
proval of the separate placing and in
structing of this class,
First-Each one of these lads needs
individual attention of persistent ma
ture, which may be possible when seq
regated, but impossible is the general
school room.
Second-The instruction of each of
such pupils either mentally or morally
must be intense, continuous and per
sonal. intense because they are not
receptive; continuous because idle mo-
ments permit return Of their great
fault which was idieness; and personal
because it is the most effective, per-
haps the only effective, way Of appeal
Ordinarily we consider these boys
amenable to careful, kindly mission
airy effort, and that course has been
wonderfully blessed to their salvation
at times. 1t should be persisted in
wherever possible, but in most cases
the strong arm Of the law only may be
relied upon.
! may apprehend the opposition to
this proposed course to be of three
fold nature.
First-Because it is novel and un-
tried-which is the excuse always
raised against progress of any kind,
and has merely retarded the progress
Of mankind, not prevented it. But
this suggestion is only novel by rea-
son Of its local application, 1t has the
APPROVAL Of most Of those who are in
terested in moral reform, at least in
principle.
Second-That il creates an invidious
department in the school. This Is true,
but il is o choice between holding the
boys here or sending them to the re-
form school, and | believe, rs between
the two alternatives, we will produce
better results by proper training here
than they can there.
Third--Its cost; naturally this con-
sideration must always be taken into
account II Is question whether the
extra cost above that Of sending our
youth to the reform school would be
we'll applied. AS to that | cannot
answer but the cost must be trifling
in either event But, as Christian
community, ready and willing to sub
scribe liberaly toward all good works,
abroad rs well as at home, II seems to
me that this proposed course, by which
some Of our young people may be
saved from destruction and damnation,
can hardly be opposed by petty mer-
cenary objections with effect,

Joy Riders Are Baffled
By Rockefeller's Order

TARRYTowN. n. Y. Dec. John
d. Rockefeller has issued orders that
there is TO be no more joy riding on his
estate. He owns nine cars which are
used for various occupations on the
grounds. For some time his casolene
bills have been getting larger, and he
has also noticed that his repair shop
has been busy. the average being one
crippled car week.
He knew that orders had been issued
before to stop ioy riding. hut It did not
stop chauffeurs. so Mr. Rockefeller has
placed a man in charge Of the Saso-
lene at Pocantico Hills. AS each car
goes out u IL provided with lust enough
Casolcne to make the trip and tho mile
age figures OF the spccdometer must be
turned In every night
The chaufreurs might slip the speed
ometer out Of gear temporarily. but they
are double checked with a Gasolenc sup
ply. II they want to ride any further
than the order calls for. they must do II
with gasolcne bought at their own ex-
pense. Mr.. Rockefeller figures that they
won't do that long.

quent appeals to business men to
cooperate with its work by excusing
men for summer encampments. Un-
der law all Government employees
enlisted in the guard must be SO ex-
cused. This shows the inten. Of the
Government that its employees shall
have a due respect for their obliga-
tions to the militia.
The executive officers of the vari-
Gus departments should be active in
enforcing this spirit of respect for
the guard among their men. They
should see to it that the Govern
mcnt's employees set an example of
serious regard for their drill duties
that will impress the private en-
ploye who enters National Guard
service. The Government employe
should be the last man to treat
lightly his duties in the service. Es-

of the organization most highly.

THE JUVENILE COURT

Judge ]. Wilmer Latimcr, of the
Juvenile Court, pictured serious
defect in the Districts correctional
provisions last evening before a
civic body when he pointed to the
lack Of any facilities by which his
court may investigate non-support
cases.
His plea for investigators for this
work illustrates the difference be-
tween the functions of juvenile and
other courts. The work of juve-
nile court transcends the mere TAX.
ing Of testimony, and especially in
cases involving domestic relations
court testimony is largely valueless
to shed any light on affairs of the
disrupted home.
Not only have the methods now
in vogue of trying non-support
cases resulted in men being SEN
fenced without just cause to the
work house at Occoquan-a fact
candidly admitted by the court--but
it has handicapped the sort of CO.
operation which might have restored
the home to its normal conditions
and freed the District from any
charge for penal sentences.
1t is surprising that cities are SO
slow to realize and provide for the
needs of agencies like the Juvenile
court, which deal with home life
The seeming disintegration of home
life in cities is alluded to as a cause
Of many evils, and the home figures
largely in orations as the corner.
stone of our democracy. But when
It comes to providing for those
agencies which deal primarily with
this institution cities are singularl,
lax. There are a number of needs
in Washington's Juvenile Court. ant
not the least of them is the provision
of trained investigators to deal witr
the large number of non-support
cases.

NATIONAL GUARD DELINOUENTS

IF any group of men should be
expected to show proper respect
for their obligations as members Of
the District National Guard, that
group comprises the employees Of the
Government who are enlisted in the
militia.
Last evening at trial by sum
mary court the officer presiding re-
marked that employees of the Wash
ington Navy Yard had formed the
idea that their connection with the
yard permitted a axity in their
duties to the guard. He threatened
that if this attitude, alleged to have
hcen shown by one man who tore
up a subpoena served on him for
non attendance at drills, continued,
n report Of the cases would be for
wardcd to officials at the yard.
The National Guard makes fire.

CONVENTION VOTING POWER

The campaign of the Republicans
gathered in Chicago from various
''ates to obtain equalized delegate
e. entation in national conven-
'"n- "cir party is going to have
,-.E I'm 'ortant bearing upon the
r'm-" s"l.rage movement.
= raa not been much talked
hh"" r1t it must have occurred to
ga many Republican leaders
that States which give the ballot to
women have. unit for unit of popu-
lation, double the voting power of
States that do not.
Roughly speaking, a population OF
one hundred thousand in a State
where only mon have the franchise
yields some fifteen thousand votes
But the same population in a State
where women as well as men have
the franchise yields some thirty
thousand votes.
States that cast at the polls two
votes for every vote cast by other
States are not going to rest content
with a situation where their two
votes count in national convention
only as much as one vote from those
other States.
This very issue, in the matter oi
Republican delegations from the
solid South with no voters bchint
them, was really the thing which
split the Republican party in 1912
and the Western States which have
given the ballot to women are going
to fight for convention representa-.
tion of their voters a great dea
harder than anybody ever fought
over the old question of the "blacl
belt" delegates.
No party in its senses wants to bt
at strife with the States which are
producing its votes for it, and sooner
or later the right Of all voters to bt
equally represented in their conven
tions will be conceded by the gen
cral party.
This thing, therefore, will be sur,
to drive States faster and faster int
the woman's suffrage column. Wher
equal representation is the rule tn,
State which still refuses to give tn,
ballot to women will simply disfran
chise itself SO per cent. That choic,

FRENCH LOAN IN ENGLAND

The French government has au-
thor;zod issuance of the prospectus
for a loan which it will place in
England. There is something particu-
larly interesting and enlightening in
this financial move, because it is an
nounced that the proceeds Of the
loan will remain in England, and
serve to pay current accounts which
France owes in that country.
Just little while ago, France and
England jointly borrowed a half
billion dollars here; but instead Of
taking the cash away from us, they
left their evidences Of obligation
here, to pay debts to us. Already
they are negotiating another loan;
and now France is borrowing in
England; not to get money, which
she doesn't need, but to maintain
her credit and buying capacity,
which are of the greatest import
ance.
The world never looked so much
like a neighborhood, or even fam
lily party, as it does. under war con-
ditions. Wherever there is finan.
cial capacity, it is drafted to sustain
the fearful cost of the great con-
flict; and the interrelationships
among peoples, powers, and nations
are so intimate that no possessor OF
that capacity may refuse to permit
;<e utilization

NORRIS AND GREAT PALLS

Declining to be discouraged by
the attitude of Secretary of War
Garrison, Senator Norris of Ne
braska announces that he will rein
troducc and press his bill for devel-
opment Of Great Falls. The Sena-
tor has made a careful study Of all
the engineering data on the subject,
and it is fair to assume that he is
as well equipped to judge both the
merits of the project and the pres
ent need for putting it into execu-
tion. Moreover, he has on his side
the judgment of the present Board
of Commissioners of the District
and of Major William V. Judson
former Engineer Commissioner, and
one of the ablest men that ever oc'
cupied that position.
Secretary Garrison has not re
iected the Great Falls plan; he
merely takes the position that the
city's water supply is so far insured
, for the immediate future that there
is no need to begin work at Great
Falls before 1920; that is, no necc
that is made urgent by the city''
water requirements. In this he il
prAably correct. But there is gooc
reason entirely aside from watel
necessities of the future for getting
this work under way. 1t has to d,
with the power development.
Government operations Of thi
character are notoriously lcisurel,
in their development. Did a bi,
Government job ever get complete,
on time? Or did the Government
ever start such job until thcr,
was need to complete it in haste
Preparedness is good motto, i,
this connection, right now.
