CHILD FEDERAL OFFENDERS

The national Children's Bureau
urges certain changes in existing
federal laws to authorize proba-
ton in federal courts and to pro-
vide a system of reference to state
juvenile courts. The reason given
for these changes is the fact that
every year 1.009 boys and girls less
than is years old are arrested for
violations of federal laws. The
specific crimes with which they are
charged include larceny OF the
mail, larceny of postal funds left
in rural mail boxes, breaking and
entering postoffices,s forging money
orders, and SO on.
Under the present. system, sucb
child offenders, instead of being
turned over to juvenile courts or
probation officers and given the
second chance under proper gu1d-
ance, which might set them
straight. must be sentenced and
punished. Many are given Jail
sentences, while others are COM
mitted to institutions. The proper
ton of such punishments is fer
greater than in state or local juve-
nile court work.
a child offender is in just as
great need of constructive help
when he breaks national law as
when he breaks a state or county
or municipal law. If juvenile court
work is valuable in these latter
cases it must be equally valuable
and necessary in the federal cases.

TOO MUCH sELF-DETERMINA.

self-Determination Of peoples is

This is particularly true Of the
small nations and races.
Travel. trade and industry in Eu-
rope is greatly impeded by such
barriers. and general economic re-
construction and international un-

our own country we see the same
tendencies. working out in the
greater racial sensitiveness of our
various elements of population and
their greater difficulty in getting

BRINGING THE WORLD To-
GETHER

Addressing a convention Of wo-
men the other day, Theodore Bur-
ton. one OF the leading Republicans
in Congress, and member Of the
American commission on the al
lied debt, remarked:
"a nation, like an individual, has
duties, and we now must assume
that leadership which belongs to
us because of our might, our great
resources and the fact that we have
the confidence of other nations.
GAS Washington opposed perma-
nent alliances and Jefferson en-
tangling alliances we have been
disposed to keep aioof from the
alliances and quarrels Of Europe.
Now all this is changed. Science.
by reason OF improved methods of
transportation and communication,
has brought the whole world to-
ge.her."
There is more of this sort of talk
nowadays than there has been for
some time, and the public seems to
he in a more receptive mood to-
ward it. The change has come
about largely through the activity
of business men rather than states
men or "reformers.''
Business today is. in reality, the
most effective force working for
practical internationalism. Busi-
ness leaders see that they have to
deal with other nations, and get
along with them. and establish the
machinery of cooperation. for
purely selfish economic ends. if
for no higher reason. And more
and more. governments are coming
to listen to the judgment of big
| business men in regard to foreign
affairs.

Washington. July General
improvement in crop conditions

Throughout the corn belt the

small grains were more or less
injured by the unusual hot and
dry weather and in the Southern
states much badly needed field
work was accomplished
The corn crop generally made
progress except in the Southwest
where it was neglected for cotton.
Wheat threshing is going on in the
Southwest and some of the South
eastern states. Oats are reported
generally poor to fair. and cotton
had fairly good growth. Weevils
are numerous and considerable
damage, as yet unestimated. has
resulted. The Irish potato crop is
reported to be fair to good" q
large acreage of beans and cab
bages has been planted and other
vegetables are said to be in good
condition.
Tobacco harvesting has advanced
in the ..cigar wrapper section of
the Southeast. and the crop has ad-
vanced elsewhere. The crop is re-
ported we'll advanced in Virginia
and Maryland and full acreage is
predicted in Ohio, Indiana and
Michigan.

England, on a frank quest for
improvements to import for the
benefit of our own courts, has
shaken the American public out Of
its complacency in this respect, at
least. Americans have long re-
garded their system Of judicial ad-
ministration as unsatisfactory. but
it would not have occurred to citi-
zens less versed in legal history
than Chief Justice Taft to seek the
remedy abroad.
American and English law were
one in the beginning, and are still
fundamentally the same, but have
diverged considerably in applica-
ton. The English have simplified
the administration OF justice while
we have made it more complex.
Contrary to what might have been
expected from the character OF the
two nations, they have gone in for
quick action and we have gone in
for technicality and delay.
Students of the two systems say
that English judges, on the whole,
know more law than American
judges do, and have more power,
and use it more effectively. They
are out of politics. The power OF
lawyers to postpone and protract
trials through technical delays is
reduced to a minimum. Criminal
justice especially is rendered with
dispatch unknown. in the, United
States.
If Mr.. Taft can bring some of
these benefits home with him, they
will be welcome to the public, if
not to the legal profession.

cation, which is being made by Off

At the Jail Mr.. Martin was
searched by. officer Segrest, who
counted out II of the bills of $40
denomination. all of which were
issued by the Sumter bank. The
arrested man denies any knowledge
Of the fact that the bills were un-.
signed, and stated this afternoon
that the money had been handed
him at Columbia by w. d. Barnett,
Columbia attorney, who recently
negotiated the sale of 223 acres of
land. formerly a part of Camp

According to Mr.. Martin. he went
to the Office of his attorney and
asked for settlement in the mat

that one of the bills was rendered

bill was not signed was. evidently
not noticed by the salesman, as no
objection: was raised at the time of
the purchase of the tires
Officers conducting an inyestisa-
