An Overwhelming field in the
study Of causes of juvenile denn-
cuency and the development Of
criminal tendencies has been given
fresh support and impetus by an
experiment recently conducted at
New Jersey town. The judge in this
particular case happened TO be
student of causes. He had before
him 13-year-old boy. who had been
noted in his school as backward IN
his books and an annoyance TO his
fellows. Ordinarily it would have
been deemed a case for the refor-
matory but this judge thought 9TH
erwise and called in a surgeon. who
advised and carried out an opera
ton for adenoids. The physician
Is held to have staked his reputa-
ton on the result. having expressed
the opinion that with this physical
defect removed the boy would de-
Velop along normal lines. Unless
something not now forseen occurs
medical experts are fairly we'll
agreed that this lad will be saved
for a useful life.
This instance should be carefully
fled by the arbiters of juvenile des-
tiny for their guidance for it does
not stand alone in the long history
of medical Jurisprudence and the
records of the courts of the coun-
try. Juries in the past have made
colossal plumbers in cases where the
defendant should have been given
hospital care and surgical attention
instead of being sentenced to the
penitentiary for term of years.
A case is familiar TO physicians
wherein a physical defect later was
found to be responsible for the
habits of a man who was a con
firmed loafer, a tramp and addict

member of society. The verdict was
that his system had been poisoned
in some insidious way. This poison
had weakened his vitality and made
of him an idler and a nuisance. The
highly eruptive disease cleared his
system and he became a normal as
set 10 his community.

BY Arthur Brooks Baker
WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT.

WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT.
Four years ago. when Grand old
Party unity was split
And Woodrow Wilson landed with a
smart and stunning hit,
Who stood with perseverance by the
bed of stricken hope?
Who still rehearsed for faithful ears
the Grand Old Party dope?
Who held aloft the banner in the
face of sheer and taunt?
Who was it carried Utah and sue
ceeded in Vermont?
And how should such fidelity be
honored and repaid.
Since medals tarnish rapidly and
laurels quickly fade?
Should one by whom the party was
so vigorously cusSed
Be heralded as champion of human
hope and trust,
or is the man who held the fort
with all his worthy weight
The logical. defensible and proper
candidate?
To say that William wouldn't run is
words beyond the need.
For running is term too much
significant OF speed.
But if the Grand Convention should
intelhgently talk
OF some one who could lead them
in a quiet gentle walk,
They'll have to search the ship OF
state both forward and abaft
To find a better candidate than
William Howard Taft.
For though he's now a master IN
the sacred halls Of Yale
And may not love the blare of brass
upon the campaign trail.
He's not forgot what Theodore Bonn
bastus did 10 him.
And would repay the compliment
with interest and vim.
And Teddys candidacy may receive
hostile shaft
Thrown from the unforgetful hand
OF William Howard Taft.

MUNICIPAL PLANTS
PRODUCE CHEAPER
Privately Owned Electric Com
panieS Cost More to
Operate.
Internatlonal News service /:

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. g.
Figures on file with the public SER
vice commission show that TIE
trend OF the production OF electricity
in Indiana is toward two systems
either municipality owned plants or
large control stations owned by
private interests.
The reason for the trend is the
cost Of production. Some of the
states municipal plants have shown
that they can produce electricity at
an astonishingly low cost. on the
other hand. the lowest cost of pro-
duction of any of the privately own
ed plants is shown by those that
serve large fields from central sta
tons.
The cost Of manufacturing each
kiIowatt hour of electricity sold by
the Richmond municipal plant last
year as shown by the Richmond
municipal report was .O143, or
slightly more than one cent. In
Guided in this is a payment for
taxes Of $7.6O6.7O so that when a
comparison Of the cost of production
Of electricity by municipal compan-
les is to be considered. this cost of
taxation becomes a factor OF i'm
pOrtance. Most municipal plants
paid no taxes last year. At the
same time the Richmond Light.
Heat and Power Co. wa producing
electricity and the cost of each kilo-
watt hour as shown by the report
Of this company was .0215. or more
than two cents for each kilowatt
hour. In this city the municipal
plant produced electricity cheaper
than the privately plant. The
Anderson municipal plant produced
electricity at slightly less cost than
the Richmond municipal plant.
Some Of the utilities IN the state
which are operated in connection
with utilities in other cities, or
which obtain their electricity
through a central station, show a
cost by either the Anderson or Rich
mOnd municipal companies. No
tably, among these companies are
the East Chicago company. which is
owned by the big Northern Indiana
Gas and Electric Co. The cost Of
each kilowatt hour produced by
this company was .011325.
The cost of production of cleo
tricity in some of the cities in the
state. which accounts in part for the
difference in rates in many cities,
