Juvenile Court Jurisdiction.

Judge Latimer of the Juvenile Court,
in his address before a church body the
other evening, called attention to the
necessity of an amendment of the law
relating to the jurisdiction Of that court,
to effect which bill was introduced in
Congress last year and passed by the
House. 1t is now pending in the Senate,
and the hope is that it will be enacted
into law at the session about to open.
The main purpose of this amendment is
to give the Juvenile Court jurisdiction
over children up to certain years regard
less of the magnitude of the cffenses
charged. This permits the application
to all Juvenile delinquents and misde.
meanants of the same measure of punish
ment as is now applicable only to those
whose ofenses are of minor character
Under the present practice, in case Of
a serious offense, such as the stealing Of
an automobile or HOUSEKEEPING, a boy
cannot be held by the Juvenile Court
for punishment, but must b, sent to the
grand jury. Rarely does the grand jury
indict minors, for the reason that, if
convicted of the offenses charged in an
indictment, they may be sent to peni-
Tertiary. Consequently many Juveniles
in this District are allowed to 60 en-
tirely free Of any punishment whatever
for really serious offenses, while chill.
dren who commit minor onenses may be
sent to the reform school or otherwise
punished. This discrimination 81 most

The New Traction Traffic Rule.

An explanation is given regarding the
so-called seven-square-feet rule, which
went into effect Wednesday as a stand
ard of traffic accommodation in Wash
ington, that the public utilities commits
sion did not expect a change to be eff
fected from operating conditions at
once, inasmuch as the standard set by
that rule was in reality approximately
the standard maintained by the com
panies already. In other words, the pub
lie need not expect any more room on
the average in the street cars in con-
sequence of this new regulation. The
most that can be expected is immunity
from deterioration in service, or greater
overcrowding on an average reckoning.
A suggestion is given by the public
utilities commission that the public can
help itself materially in the point of
street car comfort by obeying the in
junction posted in many of the cars re-
questing all passengers to move forward
in the ears so as to facilitate entrance
and to distribute the standing room
more evenly. This injunction is con-
spicuous in the cars Of one of the lines,
so that there is no reason why every
body who rides on at least that line will
not understand it. Considerations of
personal comfort, indeed, suggest a for
ward movement in the car, at least the
car of the front and rear entrance type.
On the car of middle entrance type a
different condition prevails. This is the
chief fault of the middle entrance car.
There is no inducement for the pas
senger to move away from the point
of combined entrance and exit. In the
fore and aft car it is to the standing
passengers advantage to move forward,
as thereby he more closely approaches
the point of exit and lessons his trouble
in leaving thecar.
Street car congestion will always be
a problem, for city growth proceeds at
greater rate than traction facilities
develop. The real problem arises
from the positive limit to the number
of cars that can be operated on given
track with safety, and from the limit to
the number of tracks that can be laid
in the streets of the downtown section.
1t is to be hoped that Washington will
never have to adopt subway construc-
ton as a means of relieving this mid
city congestion.

The Tariff.

As the campaign has neared the end,
more and more attention has been be-
slowed upon the tariff by republican
spellbinders. From Mr. Hughes down
the line, they have dweit upon the short
comings of the Underwood law, and as
well upon the democratic promises Sc
curing the victory which brought that
law into being. They have asked par
ticularly about the cost of living, which
that law was pledged to lower, but which
has risen steadily since the law was
passed
The case is beyond controversy. The
facts are indisputable. The figures are
as plain as if nine feet high.
1t was roaring contention while it
lasted. Protection was the root of the
evil. Revise the Payne law downward,
and the prices of living would follow.
Swat the robber barons of all kinds and
degrees, and the situation would be in
stantly relieved.
Well, those widely advertised and
e1eerated highwaymen were hunted and
swatted, but the situation grew worse.
Prices of living continued upward, and
seemed destined to reach the blue dome
of heaven.
Then it began to dawn on the coun-
try that probably the crusaders had
erred, either through a mistaken con-
ception of the subject, or from too keen
desire to secure power. At any rate,
here was the promised remedy, with
the patient in worse condition than
ever.
This is not so important, important
as it is, as the fact that the same cru
saders are still busy with the tariff SUBJ
ject, and still promising big things. An
early tariff revision is inevitable, let the
democracy win or lose next Tuesday.
The war has made such action neces-
sary. Production and consumption have
been thrown violently out of plumb;
and when normal becomes necessary and
possible again, readjustments of both
schedules and rates will require the
work of men whose work in the past is
a guarantee of good future work
On this, as on other subjects, the coun-
try votes Tuesday If the revision of
the Underwood law is intrusted to the
party responsible for the measure, many
of those who framed or helped shape it
will be found still in commission. On
the other hand, if protection wins, and
is ordered, there will be men in both
houses of the new Congress familiar with
tariff making on protection lines, and
able to devise means for putting the
country again on protection basis.

Hughes as Stumper.

In a communication to the New York
Evening Post from Hartford, Conn. ap-
pears this statement:
II happened to be present at the meet
ing in this city that was addressed by
Mr.. Hughes on Thursday last. 1t is nv
judgment that he could not possibly
have made better use of the forty five
minutes of time to which he was limited
by the exigencies of his program, which
required him to speak in Providence on
the same afternoon, and to reach the
big audience which awaited him in Bos-
ton in the evening. He left his Hart
ford audience warmed and cheerful. and
delighted to have heard the sound of
his strong, inspiring voice / think. if
the facts were fully known, that sucb
has been the effect wherever he has
spoken from his first appearance in the
campaign"
This is most persuasive, and accords
with accounts from other places It like
wise aeeords with the expectations and
prophecies expressed at the time of the
Chicago nomination, and, later, when the
Aominee set out to present his case to
the voters. Those who knew Mr.. Hughes
best, and remembered his two can
Vases for the governorship of New York
md his part in the Taft campaign of
e008, congratulated the republican party
pn a candidate admirably qualified to
represent it on the stump and elsewhere
In all matters relating to its and his
faith and purposes.
From all sections have come stories of
Mr.. Hughes drawing power, and, Of far
greater Importance, his power to hold
audiences after drawing them. No mat.
ter how much larger the crowd might be
than the accommodations for. comfort

BRYAN APPROVES
WILSON ACTION
Commoner Declares President Did
Only Right Thing in Determining
to Get" Villa. .
specinl % rhe Washlngton Herald.


Ann Arbor. Mich. March Twill
liam Jennings Bryan is in full SYM
pathy with the latest developments in
President Wilson's Mexicon policy. He
said so tonight.
THE Presidents attitude as stated
in the newspapers of yesterday is, in
my opinion, the correct position for
the administration to take in this
very serious matter" he said. 'I am
in favor of following. capturing and
furnishing the outlaws guilty of the
attack on our citizens in New Mexico,
but I do not believe in any invasion
of Mexico or in Intervention in the
internal affairs of that country.
81 am glad" he continued, that
the President is still determined not
to intervene. Intervention has been
urged for two years past by persons
having pecuniary interests in Mexico,
but I feel 1t would be extremely I'M
fortunate at this time If We should be
drawn into a war with Mexico. The
CarranZa government cannot be held
responsible for outrages perpetrated
by rebels in instruction against that
government, and in view of the fact
that the existing regime in Mexico
cannot protect American citizens from
raids across the border, it is both
necessary and right for our govern
ment to furnish the necessary protec-
ton. However. I believe that this can
be done without intervention. and I
look to the President to lead US in the
right way"
