Possibly some were too severe in their treatment, but the pre valent lawlessness among those brought up without any discipline, shows it was a fault on the right side. That there is a universal disregard of law amongst all classes, is only too sadly appar ent. The number of criminals is on the increase and necessarily so, for unless a man is brought up from a child to obey, he will find it increasingly difficult as he grows older. The thought of an archism is revolting, but parents who do not teach their children to obey in the home, are making potential anarchists.

The audience would lie moved to tears and indignation roused against the wicked saloon keeper. But we confess our feelings were not so affected, for we surmised if the wandering boy had not been allowed to roam the streets at night when he was a child, and if he did, had been severely brought to task, he would not have been a loafer in subsequent years.

The testimony GROCERS brought out in the trial entirely clears the institution and its officials of such charges. The defendant acknowledged that he had only hearsay evidence, ex cept in one instance. It did not take the jury long to convict him, though they recommended him for leniency on account of his age. The most charitable view is to consider him as senile and mentally • affected.
