In the Juvenile court, there are
records of delinquency too awful to
print. Mere children are victims of
vice and disease. The list is so
startling as to strike terror to par
ents. One sight of It would arouse
In any parent a desire to always
know where the- boy or the girl in

The police should not permit viola

Is one of the best measures on the
books. Boys and girls should be
driven from the streets, and sent to
their homes where they , are not
likely to learn bad habits.
Nor should ' parents be less vigi

A DUTY OF THE CHURCHES
HARD ON THE YOUNG TURKS
HE first function Oi a church
is a spiritual one, but it has
another duty in the material
welfare of its members."
These are words quoted from an ad:
dress by Lloyd-George, the British
chancellor of the exchequer, at the
recent laying of the cornerstone of
a church at Neath;
Yes, but are the duties of a church
In common life confined to the ma
terial welfare of Its members? Sure
ly not, in the light of the parable of
the good Samaritan.
A favorite text today is social ser
vice a duty of the churches This
passes far beyond the limitc of the
organization that is called the
church. It has two sides, the re

of a common sane, healthy, and Hon

N Paris butchers have been cbarg
ing 48 cents a pound for legs or
loin of mutton. For coal the price
there was nearly $14.40 a ton
The lowest price for butter In the
cheapest markets of the city was
36 cents a pound, The worst eggs In
the same markets, 32 cents a dozen
French or string beans 16 cents
pound. Prices of milk, vegetables
and other necessaries have been
higher, writes the correspondent of
a well known London paper, than he
has ever seen In a residence of five
years In Paris.
The food riots In so many French
cities have been spontaneous upris
ings against suih conditions.. They
were started by the housewives.
The first move for relief by the
government la intended to check the
export of meat by removing the
bonus paid to the French exporter.
Twenty-three mayors in one depart
ment have met and unanimously de
manded the removal of the duties on
Imported 'meat, ami resolutions to
that effect have been carried at
every meeting of the protestors.
It is now brought , home to the
French citizen that it is no wonder
that meat is scarce and dear when
importedmeat is heavily taxed, and
producers are at the same time en
couraged to send meat out of the
country by a bonus paid to the ex
porter. And thus is demonstrated
one, at least, of the results of "sci
entific taxation." It has set the
French people to examining closely
to find out how much they, and not
the foreigner, pay of the -lmport-sdu-
tles. A movement for the abolition
of the tariff, at any rate so far as
affecting articles In - dally use, has
been begun.
