II shl juvenile courts, with jurlsdic tion over criminals under 16 years of age The prominent clergymen, Jur ists and educators, together with the women's clubs and sociologists, are taking an active Interest In the mat ter. The association of young boys with older criminals has a bad effect upon society. The old man, steeped in his flNed criminal habits, bends the boy to suit his tastes. The penalties In Cicted upon young men, only serve to deepen their inclination to do wrong. They hear crime discussed in the pris on, and its romantic side appeals to them. They come out worse crimi nals than when they went in To remedy this, it is being urged that juvenile courts, with distinct powers covering a certain age of offenders be established, witli separate jail3, judges, jurists and special penalties. It will class the innocent and the In experienced together. Their clrcum stances and the conditions surround ing their lives will be taken Into ac count. A sort of reformatory move ment, in the shape of specified sen tences, covering certain crimes, with pay for good behavior, and education along with punishment. Is to be agl tateri. In the large cities are hund reds of young offenders, who cannot be. reached under present statutes. Older and more experienced boys are In . the background, and urge misde meanors. The object Is to correct the child, and remove him from the evil influence. In every state the same condition prevails. Our boys In the reform school are thrown to gether The older ones' who have had more or lefcs contact with the world of crime, paint its glowing colors for the young. The ones who can be saved by education and good influ ences, should be segregated from the ones whom nothing but punishment will reform, and that, not perma nently. Might not this question he brought before Oregon legislators, with good results. By reforming a few Inefficient laws, we will have less boys to reform. ELECTION FRAUDS. Today will bo no exception to the election day rule. "Criminal conspir acies" and "plectlon fraud" are al ready on the wing. In Spokane coun ty, a wholesale exposure of fraiic" Is promised, including some high fed eral officials In the ring. In Idaho, the secret Is whispered cautiously from ear to ear that great disclosures will be made in the fraudulent manlp platlon of the ballots. East, South, West and North, the other fellow has gone wrong. The other fellow Is do ing crooked work; the other fellow will be exposed and brought to grief. It Is nothing new. It has been and perhapR always will be. one of the most Interesting phases of all our elections. Politics Is an art. All art has Its unpleasant features, The painter often finds It necessary to roll up his pants and wado through the mud In pursuit of his Ideal. Poll tics Is no exception. Men will be men and smelling so strongly of earthly things, leave the Impression that they are, ufter all. a very poor grade of clay. The report of Hon. BInger Hor maiin. ofthe United States 'land of-J -The enforced Idleness of the miners and the consequent neglect of the mines has caused thousands of dol lars worth of damage to the coal dls trlcts. At many of the most Import ant mines, the tunnels and under ground works are so flooded with water that the arbitration board can not go into them to make an Investi gation. It is estimated that it will require two months of stendy work to place many of the mines in work ing condition. A strike strikes both ways with lasting effect, it will re quire more than two months for the miners to recover. One of the most commendable moves that has been made among t'enuieton young people for some time. Is the organization of the Young Men's Club. While the Com mercial Association, now in a thriv ing condition, is an ideal organization, the merging of this with the Young Men's Club will make on of the strongest and most efficient commer cial clubs in the Northwest. GIRL BABIES IN RUSSIA. One of the oddest of the minor de velopments of the time is the out break In Russia of what appears to he a spasm of iudiguation against girl babies. The spasm Is manifest in more places than one and in more ways than one. Again and again from widely separated parts of the empire reports have come of outbursts of this Indignation, and It is therefore fair to conclude that a considerable por tion of the Russian people are under going a revival of something like the primeval barbarism which of old prompted men to kill girl babies by way of improving society. Two recent reports will serve to show the extent to which the barbaric feeling has been aroused. One states that since the Czarina has given birth to none but girl babies she has be come so much disliked by the people that she is In danger of being hooted when she appears In public. Even the courtiers of the palace look upon her with Indignant eyes, and the story Is that her life is rendered bo unhappy she may leave the empire Policy- The Leader Ninety-nine per cent, of the busi ness of The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York has been acquired since 1859, when the next largest company began business.

Toul Income, Payment to Premium Income, lattrcst Income, -Surrender Values, Delta Clilme, Dividend, and permit the czar to obtain from the Greek church nuthorlty to get another wire. It might bo supposed that In the case of the czarina the anger of the court and the populace Is duo to the desire of tbemlghn, desire for a male holr to the throne and that It would not be felt toward a mother of girl babies in private station. That view Is rendered un tenable by the second story, which narrates that In one of the provinces of the empire several men have been publicly flogged because they were fathers of girl babies. The report says the census of the province show eu an excess or women over men, whereupon the military authorities have taken to flogging the head of every family In which the number of girl babies exceeds that of boys. Reports from Russia are always ex aggerated, and we are not able to assume that the flogging of the fath ers of girls has been carried on to any great extent, but still there must hnve been something done to stir up this tale of military punishment for the birth of a girl, while the frequen cy of the reports of the popular rage against the czarina goes far to con tlrm that story. Thus wo have an other evidence of the innate barbar ism that underlies the outer culture of the Muscovite civilization. Napoleon's saying. "Scratch a Rus sian and you will And a Tartar" still holds true. It Is not easy to under- stand the processes of reasoning or even the lack of reasoning by which such sentiments find a place In the minds of a people making even n pre tense to be civilized, but Russia is clearly n good place just now for mis sionary work on behalf of girls. It may be too much to ask that theyi shall have a right to vote, but surely they have a right to be born, Even I Russians might concede that much, seeing that the two greatest sovei elgns Hint ever sat upon the Russlnn throne wore women, and one of them. the first Catherine, was so good to het 1 people as well as so great in war and 1 statecraft that she is known to his-1 tory and tradition us "the mother of Russia." San Francisco Call, p.-?. The man on the stage who does the trick of escaping from hmily tied ropes, submits to the bonds with a. mile. lie knows he can sret out of the ropes that are being knotted. Put the same man in the woods and let Indian captors bind him to a tree for torture and he would struggle to the last against the bonds. When the stomach is diseased there are bonds being woven every hour about the organs dependent on the stomach heart, lungs, Hver, kidneys, etc. The tolly ot nianuna is to pasnveiy suumit to the fastening of these bonds with no effort to escape until the pain they cause arouses fear. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It cures diseases of heart, liver, lungs, kid neys and other organs, when these dis eases, as is often the case, have their origin in the diseased stomach.
