BOYS AND THE LAWS.

@Now comes a New York judge with 1 doctrine that Jaws were not made S boys" In this present era. true. the age just gone by the opposite Nld good. Laws were then made for boys and the boys came very near .eying the laws. But with the ad- #nt of the juvenile court many of the Hf statutes were wiped off the books lost in the suffle and, as a result. # #ung America today is immune from .any things that sent the old regime various terms behind barred win @Ws of reform schools. All of which Every good; but, while the law of the #ld is somewhat relenting where the #ys are concerned, would it not be a god thing for parents to lay down a HEle law of their own? To tell the sgs a few things that might keep @m out of trouble, for, when the law .es overtake boy of this age it deals Heh him rather harshly,-its punish Ant is measured in adverse ratio to leniency.
 sRight here in our own New Britain have a goodly assortment of boys, |Rngs," ,"-who are laboring under the #ne belief as the New York judge. H Icy firmly feel, deep down in their

Must We Have War? Then We Had Better Start Fitting Out the Hos
 pitaI For the Wounded.

New Britain,
 January "A, 1916 To the Editor of the Herald,
 It is to be regretted that during the so-ca1led business Republican ad- ministration, which is about to end with our coming Spring election, it is necessary to establish a private hos- pital for incurables, blind, and lame voters. While most of the private rooms in this hospital will be occu- pied by wounded officials who have barely escaped with their lives, and as the war is not ended, it might be well to build an addition at once to accommodate our brave voters, who have gallantly stood the charge, in defending their rights, while unfor- tunately most of them have been wounded by their own guns.
 Why sympathize? For, if this gen. eralship is to continue, the little tax payer will have to be a cOnvalescent the rest of his life.
 It is to be remembered that we have had, in the past, men at the head of our City government whose honor and integrity would not be questioned, and whose thought and actions were not to cast shame on our City gov- ernment for political ambitions. We still have such men as private citizens. and it is our duty to find them, then eliminate the muck-rakers and candi- dates with explosive promises

When General Wood said at q dir ner in this city on Monday night. "If you retain the volunteer system and meet country we'll organized for war, you'll regret it, but you'U regret it too late.' he was making a n1ea for a system that would give tba United States a first line of defense composed of scientifically trained sol diers. General Wood was not re-
 fecting upon the National Guard
 which at least is an existing organ ized force that with larger appropria- tions from congress and a closer reIa- tion with the federal government. for which a Constitutional amendment might be necessary, could be made fit to take it's place in the first line of defense. General Wood had in rnind the raw volunteers enlisted for all our wars from 1776 down to 1898. Even in the old style of warfare they were little better than food for pow der when they stood their ground. The truth of course is that they often ran away in a panic. Until they had had from six to twelve months of campaigning no General could de- pend upon them New York Sun.
