ADVERTISE THE FAIR. The people of Clatsop county, who contributed 420,000 to the Lewis and Clark fair appropriation; will not be at all pleased with the manner in which the Lewis and Clark fair is being advertised. As torians returning from St. Louis say that one must liant around for hours for any placard calling atten tion to the Oregon fair, and that the advertising which is being done is totally inadequate. The board of directors of the Lewis and Clark fair should look into this matter. A very consid erable appropriation was made for advertising pur poses, but it is evident that it is being improperly expended. The St Louis fair affords magnificent pportunities to advertise the Portland fair, and the gentlemen in charge of this department ought to be ttqnired to do their duty properly. Oregonians say that they are ashamed to acknowl edge that they are from this state when visiting at St Louis. Oregon's exhibit is really a disgrace. An instance of the careless manner of making the ex Ubit was stated a few days ago. Before the St. Louis fair was opened a mammoth timber was cut at the Home mill here for exhibition at the world's lair. That timber is now lying in the rear of the Oregon building, and when a party pf Astorians re cently hunted up the specimen they found it covered with old sacks. It was out of the sight of those in terested in such matters and failed miserably to rave the purpose for which it was intended. This sort of thing has gone about far enough. Portland is using the money of the entire state for 2s fair, and the outside counties have the right to demand that it shall be properly expended. Unless there is no improvement in the methods employed the legislature should be petitioned to make no fur ther appropriation for the Lewis and Clark fair. It s a burning shame that the money of the state; thould be thrown away, and almost incredible that j tiie central managing body should allow such lax methods. The showing is one calculated to excite doubt in the minds of the people of Oregon and tc DENVER'S JUVENILE COURT. Throujrh a pamphlet designed as a part of the Denver exhibit of juvenile court work at the world's fair and aptly entitled "The Problem of the Chil dren," those interested in the question of the treat ment of delinquent and incorrigible children at the hands of the law will find a report the most cheering, says the Call. In this resume of the fourth year of the juvenile court's jurisdiction in Colorado's capi tal city, written largely out of the personal experience of the presiding magistrate, the lion. Ben B. Lind sey, will be found detailed account of the progress made by those devoted to the regeneration of way ward children under Colorado's well-advised laws. Judge- Liudsey gives the spirit of the juvenile court's aim in a nutshell, when he says that its efforts are not so much toward reforming as to form ing of childish character. It is for the young in corrigible and not against him that all efforts are directed and the fact is early impressed upon, his understanding. The judge himself doffs the stern majesty of the law in dealing with juvenile cases and brings himself down to the social level of "Boy. ville" by entering into the story of each offender's special wrongdoing with every show of personal in terest and by giving advice rather than grave ad monition. To combat the negative influence of sol many homes too often the real cause for youthfu delinquency the Denver juvenile court has as ad junct special libraries and baths for all boys who care to take advantage of them; an allied private society obtains summer labor in the couutry for th probationaries; offenders under arrest cannot be tak en to jail, but are temporarily lodged in a home-like detention house, provided by law. Colorado has taken a long step in the right direc tion by placing responsibility for the delinquency in the child upon the parents and the home. By statute it has been enacted that parents and guard ians against whom neglect or immoral influence dis played toward children can be proven are them selves amenable to the law's punishments. Had we such laws in California our own excellent juvenile court would find its labors lightened. 000000000000OS0OE05a!)&S o o P. A. STOKES "The Store That Does Things.'
