Age Limit in Children Court
Some of the Difficulties to
Be Met in Extending 1t
By Robert J. Wilkin
Justice of the Neav York Chudren's Court

tory or prison for disposition? Are the
institutions such as the New York
Catholic Protectory, Now York Jewish
Protect"ry, Aid Society and the Chill
dren's Village prepared to receive the
older ones proposed? Do tho charters
Of these institutions permit Of their
taking children over sixteen years of
age? Should the charters be amended
or should new institutions be organ
izcl? Will the managers and sup
portcrs of these and similar homes, now
teing so efficiently conducted, be will
ing 70 extend their work? If not, can
the Children's Court handle the cases
and the youths with better success
thon by the present method? Will
The Legislature increase the age limit
for The reception Of girls at the State
Training School for Girls and the
various other institutions that now re-
ccive only those under sixteen years :?
Fourth-If the change is made, how
many more cases will be held in the
children's courts? VIII it be ncccs-
sary, in order TO handle the cases, to
slur over the work, or will it be neces-
sary to increase the number of chill
drcn's courts? Would it be better to
establish youths court" Gas In Chi
cago) and there treat the cases of the
more advanced, rather than crowd out
the care of the little ones by hcrdng
them and their disabilities into one
tribunal with their seniors? Is the
problem Of the chill under sixteen
often the same as the one over sixteen,
or is it mostly separate and new
problem? And, finally, should not
every interest, including that of an
older growth, be consulted when we arc
considering this important proposed
step?
At the present time there ars but
two institutions that can receive
youths over sixteen years. and these
are the Roman Catholic House of the
Good Shepherd for girls and, in sps-
cial cases, the House Of Refuge 70,
boys.
IN establishing children's courts the
state has secured real gain, and be
fore this gain is jeopardized let u.
make sure the new step is one ir
advance.
New-York tribune., 1920-09-04

There are always two ways Of do
study it, prepare to meet it and de-
vo!op whatever is good in it. Another,
PEI haps more often adopted, is to
ignore its presence un;il its occurrence,
and then, in excitement and hurry and
reGligcntly, because unprcparcd, to find
r.any worries, difficulties and, perhaps.
disaster as result Of our inattention.
Which Of those are We who arc greatly
interested taking with regard to tho
proposal to increase the age limit Of
the jurisdiction Of the Children's
Court?
We all know that it viii! come up,
and come up shortly, for already at the
last session Of the Legislature more
tran one bill was introduced looking
20 that end. knowing it is coming,
how shall we act? Let a bill be in
troduced and then all at SKIES and
scvens rush eff to Albany in different
camps, appearing for and against the
measure? Is it not better for all those
wEo are concerned or may be affected
to come together, hear both sides of
tic question (for there arc two sides)
an! determine the best course? There
arc many things to be considered.
First--How will it affect the work Of
the chldrcn's courts? Will it be nee
cssary only to change the age Of juris
diction from sixteen to eighteen or
would it be better to give a joint
jurisdiction to the magistrates court,
50 chat case of young person be-
tho first instance 60 to the magistrates
court or in the discretion of the magis-
tratc to the ChldrcM's Court? Il
a measure of this sort were passed,
would it deprive The youth of any right
e.arnntced by the Constitution? Would
it be necessary to make arrangements
IN the courts for forcih:c detention
places in the case of the larger boys :?
! Would it be necessary 20 provide adj
Gtional exclusive places OF detention
girls? And many of the other Qucs-
tons that would refer purely to the
custody Of the children.
Second-~-How would the procedure Of
the court have to be changed to meet
TIE case? Would the newcomers be
charged with felones and misdcmcan-
ors or would an act by boy or girl
of seventeen years DO only en- act Of
Juvenile delinquency? Do young pco-
rle between the given ages appreciate
the right and wrong OF larceny, as
sault, burglary, robbery and the TAX
it.y of other peoples property. or even
lives? Should they be placed in the
minor preventive Institutions or should
they, when their rcspons ibility is fixed,
be treated with more advanced cdu-
cat.onnl or corrective measures?
Third-Are the institutions now be-

used the proper places for tho ad-
vanccd youth, or should they be sent

Mr.. Roosevelt 8 Pocket" Votes

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: AS an American upd as citizen
Of Virginia, whose ancestors have been
Virginians from earliest history, may
| ask upon what assurance does Mr..
Roosevelt base his assertion that tho
American government is to control and
dictate the policies Of the nations of
Central and South America in the
League Of Nations? The idea is re
pulsive and un-American, it seems to
me. / ask tho question with deepest
concern
II Mr.. Roosevelt speaks authorita-
lively for the Democratic party, which
can but assume he does, then
can only feel compelled to decline to
support such an administration, and
most certainly such international rcla-
tions. THOMAS r. TURNER.

The Coal Outlaws"

The sinister farce Of "outlaw"
labor strikes continues. The hard
coal miners, dissatisfied with the
wage award of board on which
they were fairly represented and
whose verdict they had agreed in
advance TO accept, have suddenly be-
conae "vacationists." They are try
ing TO wreck the collective bargain
ing system after spending years to
build 1t up.
The anthracite, coal union heads
have gone through the motions Of
accepting the commissions award.
They couldn't do less. But l0O, 900 Of
the 176,000 miners under their lead
crshsp have quit work, thus showing
their contcmpt for the methods Of
collective dealing which they try to
impose on others but hold them
selves perfectly free TO disregard
Soppose the operators had "gone on
vacation" and declared lockout
nft%r the award was handed down.
What howl of Indignation would
have gone up from Mr.. Compers in
their behalf!

only deny the capacity and reason

We have had enough Of "My-plan-

labor's enemies.

CUARANT ~
Financial Wrecking

Working through various agencies,
as if with a deliberate purpose to
create business distrust, the Ad-
rninistration is forcing deflation. Up
to date it has succeeded in lowering
the general level of prices a very
little and a few commodities lot,
incidentally compelling many fac
tories to close or to curtail opera.
tions, throwing tens Of thousands of
workers out Of employment. Now
those who are idle are asked to be-
lieve it is all for their own good.
The Chicago branch Of the Fed
eral Reserve system, which the Ad-
ministration controls through the
Federal Reserve Board, says "there
is certain grim resignation to the
inevitable" meaning, we gather,
business depression and unemploy-
ment; and it adds that "thc key to
the whole situation is a dearth Of
capital and restriction of bank
credit" The Administrations Fed
eral Reserve Board controls the
credit supply.
The restriction that it has i'm
posed is such, the public is informed,
that "the jobber, finding it impos-
sible to obtain as much money or
credit as he desires to carry out his
plan for holding this or that COM
modify, is refraining from his usual
purchases and compelling first hands
to carry the product. But it is no
easier for the manufacturer to bor-
row unlimited funds at the banks
than for the jobber."
So, "by one of the curious eco
nomic paradoxes of the day o., the
manufacturer cf many things is
spared from the danger of dis
astrons losses later on by the pres
ent inefficiency and low productivity
Of the average worker"
How grateful the manufacturer
ought TO be! If he had continued
to do business he might have lost
money! One can imagine him, as
he wanders through an idle plant,
shedding tears of gratitude. And
perhaps the workers formerly en-
ployed in his plant, happy in their
new-found freedom-freedom from
jobs, that is-are also shedding
tears Of gratitude.
The Tribune, as its readers per-
haps recall, opposed imitation. 1t
saw the nonsense of the assumption
that the wealth of the country had
doubled over night. 1t foresaw the
labor troubles and all the difficulties
which have come because of the
50-cent dollar. The only answer
was that a partisan attack was be-
ing made on the Administration, and
imitation proceeded furiously.
Now we oppose sudden defation,
as We did imitation, and for the same
reason-namely, that there should
be a stable dollar. 1t is the slide
ups and the slide downs that do
damage. If we have reached an ap-
proximate equilibrium, let's stick
to It,
But the Administration says
"No," and forced defation is in
progress. Was there ever such per-
sistent wrong-headedncss as has
marked the Wilson administration
in practically all its activities?
