81 bring you greetings from the
United States prohibition commission
or Haynes. who deeply regrets his IN
ability to join today in the discussion
before the world.
In the appointment of the Hon. Roy
Haynes, President Harding has re
sponded to the moral sense OF the ma
ton voiced in the demand for man
of courage and conviction, unawed
and unafraid to head this department
of the government which is vested
with the solemn responsibility or en-
forcing the provisions of the 18TH
amendment against the traffic IN

THE presentation of this greeting
from the prohibition commissioner OF
the United States government is
magnificent credential to the moral
progress of the nation, and an un
answerable evidence Of the fact thai
the liquor traffic as a legal institu
ton Is dead and doomed to oblivion
forever more.

Who would have dreamed 20, 10
or even five years ago that such {
transformation would occur in the at

unholy traffic-that from the relation

Where Judges Disagree

edward F. Wait, Judge of District
Court, MINNEAPOLIS, in St. Cloud
Journal Press.)
A good friend of the children of
Minnesota has shown me Judge Roes-
er's letter in a recent issue of your
paper. "Should it not be answered ?"
Yes thought so. evil you answer
it," After reflection I seem to, my
self to have a duty in that direction.
Some one may say "Why does a
Hennepin county man butt in?" He
wouldn't if it were Stearns county
matter, but it isn't. 1t is a Sank
Centre and state of Minnesota mat
ter, as respects the immediate occas-
ion of the controversy to which Judge
Roeser contributes. Mrs. Morse and
the State Board of Control have
thought it wise and right to let Sc
lected group of girls living under SUI
pervision within the corporate limits
of Sank Centre instead of the insti-
tuition just outside, and go to the To-
cal high school with the consent of
the local board of education and the
general approval of the townspeople.

reformed? They may believe so, but
unless they are like the Almighty
they certainly cannot be sure. It is
said that these girls have become de-
linquent, not through their own
fault, but through the fault of So
ciety. That may be, although I al
ways suspected that at least part
of the fault belongs to the delin-
quent. But be that as it may, even if
society is guilty, yet our innocent
chillren should not be the ones to
bear the burden to redeem the delin-
quents. The danger is too great that
some of the evil that was in these
girls may be communicated to an in
nocent child and that child ruined.
We call the killing Of a body MUIR
der. Suppose these experiments de-
suit in the killing of human soul,
what shall we call that? &c.,
Any girl that wants to reform OF
has reformed should be given a
chance, but there are other places to
give her the chance than the common
schools where the young and imma-
ture are being raised and where peo-
pie send their innocent children in
the belief that they will be shielded
against temptation or the suggestion
of evil. Anyone that wants to help
delinquent girl to reform is at
liberty to take her in his home, but
no one should be compelled to do
that, and no community should be
compelled to receive them in their
schools.
Yours respectfully
john A. Roeser.

Protect the Innocent.
Judge John A. Roeser in St. Cloud
Journal-P ress.)

Judge John A. Roeser in St. Cloud
Journal-Press.)
I have read with great deal of in
terest the article in your issue of
March 4th in reference to the bill be-
fore the legislature to prohibit the
board of control from using cottage
outside of the Home School for har-
boring delinquent girls and also pro-
hibiting said board from sending
such girls to the public schools.
From reading the article it would
appear that all of the champions are
on the side Of the delinquent girl and
/ write this communication for the
purpose not of speaking against the
reformation of the delinquent girl,
but speaking for the protection of the
clean, decent innocent children of
honest, decent clean people who have
not had their children in correctional
institutions and who would like to
keep their children away and out of
such institutions. In my capacity as
Judge of the juvenile court of Stearns
county have committed quite num-
Der of girls to the Home School at
Sank Centre, and nearly every one
was committed because of immortality
and some of them because of disease
due to immortality. Not one of them
has ever been sent to the Home
School because Of her goodness. 1t
has always been because of her bad
ness, or, as it is sometimes called, her
delinquency. l have a great deal of
sympathy for delinquent children and
! am interested as much as anyone in
their redemption, but l do not believe
the redemption of the delinquent
child should be attempted at the ex-
pense of the children who are not de-
linquent. The school at Sank Centre
and the board of control are doing
good work, but they ought to confine
their efforts within the proper
sphere and should not do things that
are contrary to law. There is no just
ification for doing anything which
will endanger the morals of our chill
dren. I note that Mrs. Morse is
quoted as saying: "These girls are
morally fit to mingle with the rest of
the people in the community" If that
is so, then why are they at Sank Gen.
tire? Why are they not paroled, or
dismissed from the institution? The
trouble with the superintendent of
these institutions is that in their
enthusiasm for their work they be-
come one-sided, and they are apt to
overlook the rights of the common
people who are paying the taxes to
support these institutions and their
supervisors. How can anyone know
that a delinquent girl is absolutely

Does the benefit derived warrant the
extra expense? This is not peculiarly
a Stearns county question, but one of
state concern. Is there disadvant-
age in having the girls in the local
school? That is not Stearns coun-
ty question; it is a Sank Centre ques-
ton.
But l am not discussing these
questions at all, having only casual
knowledge of the details. From long
and rather intimate acquaintance
with the work of Mrs. Morse and the
Board of Control have confidence in
their policies which has not been
shaken by anything that has come to
light recently, in or out of the legis-
lature.
The real question, of course, is
whether the particular Home School
girls who are sent to the Sank Centre
high school are of such character
that their presence there is a menace
to their associates. Judge Roeser as
fsumes that they are. If he has facts
to support this view his letter does
not state or suggest them; and if he
assumes their immoral and contami-
mating character, is not the assump-
ton, put forth publicly by man in
his position, rather cruel one Is it
not more fair to assume that Mrs.
Morse and the experienced and high
minded men who have been directing
her work have chosen for the privil
eye of immediate contact with the
community girls who have proven
themselves worthy? And should not
the returning self-respect of such
girls be cherished rather than at
tackled?
But the noteworthy point in Judge
Roeser's letter is the general implica-
ton which runs through it allan
implication from which dissent so
thoroughly that I feel compelled to
offer my own views to your readers
as sort of counter-irritant. l use
the word advisedly, for argument
will hardly be possible within the linn
it's of this letter. I cannot hope to do
more than stimulate thought.
The implication to which | refer is
that all girls at the Home Schol who
have been unchaste are to be classed
together Unfortunately as chad"
My experience in dealing with such
girls has been sufficient to entitle me
to an opinion on this point, and with
great Difference to Judge Roeser l
declare my conviction that the impli-
cation is wrong. In Hennepin county,
and l doubt not in Stearns county
and throughout the state, the juven-
lie court laws relating to delinquency
are construed as providing scheme
for the protection and rehabilitation
of erring children rather than for the
punishment of criminals. Therefore
the home environment of children
has something to do with the dispo-
sition made of their cases. The State
Home School for Girls was establish
ed as custodial and not penal in
stitution. By no means are all girls
who come into the court and are
found to have been unchaste sent
there; not all girls who are sent
there have been unchaste; and not
all girls who have been unchaste and
sent there are "bad" in the sense
that they are more likely than other
girls, when under supervision at all
comparable to the control of child
in an ordinary decent home, to be
sources of moral danger. Undoubt-
eddy Mrs. Morse has at any given
time many girls whom she would not
