MNENME DELINQUENCY

One of the important announce ments greeting the public is made by the children's bureau of the de- partment of labor, which declares, contrary to the general impression, that crime statistics indicate juve- nile delinquency has not been on the increase during the past dec- ade.
 Widespread alarm has been caused by the frequent reports that youthful crime has been vast ly increasing. In some cities, ac- cording 10 the report this has been the case; but in the majority of cities the reverse has been true.
 We are apt 10 jump to nasty conclusions in such things and hence make q wrong judgment On the other hand, the report of the childrcns bureau may be a matter of how the statistics are kept, all though it is dcvoutly to be hoped that the report is accurate and not merely the reflection of a wish.

 On the surface the mayoralty campaign may not be very warm as yet; but both sides are fighting 8 spirited battle and so far largely through speeches and printers ink, which is the best way because 1t reaches the most people and has the best effect,
 The campaign gives every evil dence of being a gentlomanly race, with both parties backing up their candidates fully and expecting the voters 10 do the rest. To do their best in the best possible way it is necessary for the voters to keep in touch with what is being said and let their mature judgment as to the merits of the candidates be their guides on election day.

THROWING A SOP TO IRRECONCuABLES

Refusal of the President 10 be represented at the Geneva con ference in September when tho Senate reservations 10 tho World Court will be considered, Is be- lievod due entirely 10 tho campaign being waged by irroconcilablcs against the World Court, the League of Nations and everything else having Its seat upon foreign shores, Thus political cXpediency once again governs governmental policy.
 The Senate reservations need oX- plaining to nations already mcm- hers Of the World Court, and such an explanation could best be given by representative of the Ameri- can government, There is possi- bility that they will be given tho acid test by other powers and lack of an American representative in the gathering 10 interpret and clarify them will result in a diver gonce of opinion among the As na- tions involved. If the nations turn down the American reservations we will he barred from the court.
 President Coolidge is failing to drive home his victory in taking the United States into the World Court. With no representative at Geneva to answer the queries that naturally will be propounded, American prospects for adherence are growing dinner. All this has come about because the irreconcil- ables, headed by Borah, have gone into various doubtful senatorial dis tricts and threaten to defeat certain Republican senators who voted for the World Court.
 When will a Republican admins tration in Washington refuse to place senatorial politics or any other kind Of various varieties of politics above the manifest destiny of the nation to be leader of mankind, in- stead of a nation of sullen isolation ists? There can be no doubt as to the preponderating sentiment throughout the nation; yet because politics suggest 1t, the minority sentiment again is allowed to govern our actions.
 If we are going to permit Borah to run the country, let's elect him president.
