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

and permit the czar to obtain from the
Greek church nuthorlty to get another

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 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
