J. H. HEMPHILL, - Agent.

The boy problem may be traced to
two tributary factors which enter
essentially into its origin and solu
ton. The first is the home. Homes
are more important than Sunday
schools, public schools, government
or state, as far as the boy is con-
cerned. Nothing can take the place
of the home as a character making
influence. The best thing that can
be given the boy is good home, but
the strange thing about it is that
some of the worst boys come from
the best homes.
Another determining factor is
money. In the United States we have
never definitely decided whether the
boy should have money. or, If any,
how much. 1t is one of the first is
sues between father and son. A boy
with an empty purse is in quite as
much danger as the boy with a full
purse. Perhaps the boy should have
money to pay his way into the pic
ture shows.
Little David Harum had no money
to see the circus, and a nelghbor
paid his way, and when David
reached home after having the time
of his life, he found something wait
ing for him in the shape of a severe
whipping whipping which led to
his leaving home forever. 1t is an
old story-the tragedy of many a
boy on the farm who is tempted to
resort to dishonest means to secure |
a little cash. If you investigate the |
boy burglaries of Philadelphia you
may find similar economic condl- |
ton which may explain, even If it
does not excuse, this high per cent |
of theft
1t is a problem that lies farther
back than Judge Lindsey and the
Juvenile courts of every great city. |
The roots of the problem run back
into the very nature of our national
life.
Something is the matter with the
way the twig is trained, otherwise
there would not be so many crooked
trees. Are we taking better care of
our dogs than our children? Are we
raising rascals without knowing 1t?
is there anything the matter with
our schools and homes and churches?
Is anybody loving Oliver Twist back
from crime to character?
The weak point in American char
acter is not in knowledge nor in feel
lngs, for we know enough and feel
deeply enough. 1t is the will, the
backbone, the ability to stand
straight In a crooked generation, the
power TO say yes and no against all
bids. If we could utilize the moral
equivalents of military attributes
and apply them to right living, the
world would be revolutionized in a
short time.
Whether it is what we read or
,hink or feel; whether inherited or
derived from our surroundings, this .
IS clear, that at one point in the
backbone of the average boy there
S q weakness, and this cannot be
,ured by curfew bells or judges. 1t
must be strengthened by "a power
lot ourselves which makes for right
'ousness. William RAIDER in the

Too Many Boys go Wrong

/
Oliver Twist, as described by
Charles Dickens, is the incarnation
of the modern boy who Is having a
hard time. For licking the porridge
bowl in the orphanage and showing
signs of hunger he was bound out
to an undertaken then he fell into
the hands of the Artful Dodger and
was brought up in Fagin's London
school of crime. He was saved by
love after a trying experience.
Director Porter told a company OF
clergymen the other day that So per
cent of the burglaries in this city
are committed by boys under 81
Statistics show that the period be-
[ tween Is and "a is the criminal age,
the highest point being reached be-
tween 16 and 21 in the records 0f
! English crime. The average age in
the United States is but two and two
fifths years above this figure, reach
ing its climax at the period between
20 and "a, and showing a prepon-
perance on the side of immaturity.
Among 462 criminals examined by
Mario, IS per cent had become crimi-
nails before reaching the age of 10.
OF a group of forty-siX criminals
studied by Lombroso, thirty-five had
become addicted to crime before at |
tanning the sixteenth year. Lombroso
places the maximum of criminality
between the ages of Is and 25.
OF 43,S35 German criminals, it has
been found that Al per cent were
under 81.
Director Porter says that many
boys are prompted to steal that they
may go to see the movies. The tene-
ment houses have been blamed for |
bad boys. The streets are regarded
by many as a school of crime. Her
edity and environment are cited as |
causes of crime, while drink, poverty, |
cigarettes and evil companions are
all looked upon as crime producing |
factors.
In spite of all we have done to
conserve childhood and protect youth |
crime is seven times more prevalent
in this country now than it was sixty
years ago.
The boy is a national problem.
Little can be done with the full
grown man, but the boy is still a
twig to be shaped by conditions. The
period of life between 10 and 81 very
largely determines the destiny of the
man.
The boy contradicts all theories,
denies all schemes of reform and de-
fies nearly every known measure Of
protection. Good men spring out of
poverty and bad men come from
brownstone fronts Boys brought up
in the streets fill positions of national
influence. Good men have had bad
parents, while bad men have had
good parents. Young Oliver Twists
have come from orphanages and
made a success of life. Some boys
have bravely stood against both her.
edity and environment and conquered
both, while others in whose veins
flow the bluest blood have gone down.
The passing of the old home and
the substitution of the fiat, apartment
and hotel have much to do with the
character of boys. The streets are
their playground and are preferred to
small rooms in the tenement district. |

Canon City-Chandler road into a pass

with pick and shovel to the improve
metn of the cutoff on the Canon City
Parkdale road, on the southern slope

muneration OF any kind and at his
own expense. as special road over
