SURPRISING THE SUPERMAN

Frcm the Providence Journal
 N T. LOUIS papers report that mem-
 N Der of the Missouri legislature has
 " introduced a bill to censor dime
 novels He Is quoted as asserting that the
 stories of the superhuman sleuths of an
 older day have corrupted the youth Of
 the land" The sorry part of it is that
 he seems to be actually serious in want
 ing to remove from the reach of the ris- ing generation what he alleges to be poisonous influence.
 He is wrong, and doubtless thousands of old boys in the United States would welcome the opportunity to tell him so in person. Is there any American we'll
 known in public life who did not in his boyhood follow eagerly and often ex- citedly the adventures of Nick Carter, Old Cap Collier, Old King Brady, Frank
 Mefriwell, Fred Fearnot and other he- | roes? Would any youngster except a
 mollycoddle forswear these friends for Pansy and the whole tribe of -namhy-
 pamby books in which the hero was all way . cad or prig?

 porary. They never succumbed except under nercest pressure Did they not

 dence But no umprejudiced critic ean

Judge Lindsey Will Not

bCbEdy DOy SOAuAdChSS 6T7HERE is a defect in the state of
 U society and law that fails to care for the sacred obligation of con- fidence existing between a juvenile judge and the youngsters who tell him their secrets.
 On laws technicalities Judge Ben Lindsey of the Denver juvenile court is guilty of contempt of court for declining to reveal to punitive author ities the secret of boy. Judge Lind sey admits the law and makes no bubble about that. He will not, how ever, reveal what that boy told him and he will not pay the alternative fine. He will take the years i'm prisonment rather than do so.
 The boy saved the life of his mother by claiming that he commit ted the murder of which she was accused. Judge Lindsey's offense against the court is his refusal to reveal what the boy told him in con- fidence about the crime. It would have been an offense against the thousands of boys whom he has saved to society if he himself had betrayed one of them. It would have undone the work of quarter of a century. Secrets of masonry and the con- fessional are inviolate. They have come down the centuries intact. Men do not seek to probe into them. They have died rather than yield them up. Shall the secrets of a child be held less sacred? It does not seem so.
