AN’ EF HE KETCH YO’ BEIN’ BAD HIT WON’ BE GOOD FO’ Y0‘
The Excellent Work that Is Being Done for the Children of Indianapolis by the Juvenile Court—Character of the Sessions Each Day.

Ef be batch yo' bein' bad hit won' be good to’ yo'/' They had Ju*t emerged from the Juven11# Cotirt, The old colors woman held her recreant nephew by the hand and waa lecturing him oo the ||eaut!e» of good citizenship, after he had been bad. "W'en de law gits bit's ban's on yo* 'taint no use to cry ovah filled milk. To' kain't be good an' bad at de same time/'- she urged.

Dafs whut ycfU glt-yo'll git de focus ob de law on yo* an' den yo'll go to de p'tenMary at Plainfield. Heah me,.boy?” By this time they had reached the stairs and were dseconding into the world again. The boy had been charged in Juvenile Court with stealing onions from a huckster's wagon Now he was under suspended sentence and on probation. He was under the supervision of the probation officers of Judge Stubbs's new Juvenile Court, and must be good. Sunshine and Shadow*. The new court Is one of sunshine and shadows. Many a fearful heart Is reassured under the' sunny smile of Judge gtubbs, and many another heart la made to feel the power of the law under hl« forceful lectures and sentences. The new court was created by the last Legislature, and Its Influence on Indianapolis boys ha« . early become apparent. Bad boys are put under the process of being made good and incorrigible girls are offered opportunities to become womanly. Under the old system boys and girls were dragged Into Police Court with hardened criminals. There they eat In the prisoners' dock and heard revolting stories of cnm*. The new Juvenile Court takes them away from that element end into a new atmosphere, It separates the child criminal from thaold and hardened
ones.
Judge Stubbs, the father of the Juvenile Court In Indlanspolls, 1« a father Indeed. He calls every bod boy his own, and tries, with the assistance of good men and women, to make good boys qf bad ones. Judge Stubbs believes that If a parent Is not capable of rearing a child m snumoK IT DROP FORK PUT
under proper Influences It Is the duty of the State to do so. And It is In that work that hi* heart centers. But Judge Stubbs is not wboUy a reformer. He has other dutiee. In a small cabin, near Garfield Park, there Uyes a family of seven-husband, wlfa and five children. The cabin has one small room, and the five children are being jysred in ignorance and squalor. Mrs. Arthur Kenyon Rogers, chief probation officer of the Juvenile Court, discovered the family. She reported their condition to Judge Stubbs. * Issued Subpenas. An hour later Frank Stevenson, special officer of the court, was off to Issue subpenas to the parents. The court commanded them to bring the children before it. The woman told Stevenson that she would have to do some sewing, so as to make the children presentable In court. This was worthy of consideration, and they were given until next Thursday to appear. If, on their appearance In court, Judge Stubbs finds the parents unfitted for the duties of parents, he will issue orders to them to better the condition of their children and their home. Time will be given them to do so. If at the end of the given period there Is not an Improvement, the court will take the children into Its keeping and the s Board of Children's Guardians will care j for them. The father and mother appear to 1 be able to provide for the children and j Judge Stubbs says they must. It Is to save ; children from a life or poverty and Ignorance that the court has In mind. Incorrigible children daily go to Judge | Stubbs's court. The boy who steals things “just for the fun of the thing” there finds it not half funny. The boy whose nature It Is to do wrong has the opportunity, un- j der good influences, to do right. The same j rule applies to girls. If there is a chance j to make a good child ovit of a bad one, ! Judge Stubbs and his probation officers j try It, The delinquent Is sent home with 1 orders to report once a month to Judge Stubbs. The monthly report 1« a setf-ex- ! pressed comment on now bad or how good ; the delinquent has been. It also gives i Judge Stubbs an opportunity to become ac- i qualnted with the child. While the month IS passing, however, j the delinquent la not unobserved. When 1
the Juvenile Court was organised. Mrs. Rogers, the probation officer, found assistant probation officers ready to help her The Charity Organisation Society detailed one of its workers. Miss Clara Burnside, to assist in the work. Other workers In the cause are Miss Margaret Gray, who conducts a small dty mission in connection with Memorial Presbyterian church; Miss Weaver, of the Neighborhood House; Mrs. Webb, of the Children's Home Society; E. E. Shelton, a North Indianapolis business man; Fathers McCool and Byrne, Miss Mary Winter and Miss Alice Graydon. Bach of them has a district In the city in which to look after the little unfortunates. The assistant probation officers report to Judge Stubbs and Mrs. Rogers regularly, and in that way the court Is, kept constantly informed as to the behavior and condition of his proteges. The Juvenile Court brings to light many interesting cases. There are neighborhood quarrels to settle because the children started the trouble. There are numerous cases of delinquency that have back of them the influences of drunken fathers and mothers. The court goes to the source
of all Juvenile woes.
The court finds numerous Instances of parental neglect that grows out of a desire on the part of the parents to get rid of their children. They will leave then! to the tender mercies of neighbors, and in a roundabout way let the court get notice of the conditions. It doesn’t take long for the court, however, to handle the case, and in nine cases out of ten the deserter is compelled to care for the child. (Otherwise the little ones go to the home of the
Board of Childrens' Guardians. A Comedy in the Court.
One of the comedies that frequently are enacted on the Juvenile Court stage was “put on” a few days ago, when Joseph Weils had Joseph and Pearl Dickens. Jwo colored waifs of Torbet street, arrested for killing his chickens. ”ChJd” J Wells,

During the trial it
“Chid” had provoked the trouble, and stead of getting the Dickens children punished he became involved in the
meshes of the law himself, -and is now j plished, under probation. The Wells family has I scheduli
developed that i the story. Then "Chid” Wells got into
i n . | the boat that he had ‘anchored for the
neighbors.
Judge Stubbs works systematically. Every day counts for something accom-
and the Juvenile Court runs on e time, the same as a railroad x ' iu; < ; >
train. On Monday the Judge and his court officials hold s conference. They outline the week's work, and that work is carried out to the letter. The Monday conference usually occupies several hours, and when It is concluded the court officers know what they have to do and why they are doing it. Children And homes through these conferences, delinquent children would hear their names mentioned encouragingly if they were listening mice, and thoughtless parents would hear the Judge say: “Make them understand that the court means business.” It is the “business day" of the Juvenile Court. Firgt Trial Day. Tuesday is the week’s first trial day. At 9 am. and at S p. m. Judge Stubbs convenes court and hears the tales of woe. Boys and girls who have committed crimes and misdemeanors ate taken before “Father" Stubbs, and there they tell their stories. Yes. he only threw the brick Just for the fun of the thing. “Fun” a misdemeanor In Indianapolis? Certainly, If it isn’t Judge Stubbs's kind of fun. And the next "prisoner” Is a girl—poor thing! No home, no friends. The police found her wandering In the streets and charged her with loitering. "Father” Stubbs hears her story, and In hls own way advises the wanderer of the vices and woes of the world, and then, with a sad look In hls eyes, the gray-hqlred Judge whispers encouragingly: "My dear, if you want to be a good girl maybe we can find you a home!” She was Just fourteen, and not old enough to> realise the path that she was taking toward destruction. And It was by such a narrow margin that the bill creating the Juvenile Court passed the last Legislature! And, there! Perhaps it had saved a girl from the vicious walks of life. The next prisoner!

WHAT THE EMPLOYES SAY THE TROUBLE IS ABOUT,
t- THE “UMMICLAO" AGREEMENT
. There does not appear to bg an immediate prospect of settlement of the strike of the machinists at the drop-forge plaQi. The men assert that the trouble is over the demand of the company that they withdraw their applications for membership In the Machinists’ Union, and Ant they sign an agreement with the firm covering two years. The men also assort that the agreement Is “Ironclad” end Is one thaj has been formulated by the Manufacturers* Association. The men affected by the strike, It is aaid^are those who went to work a year ajfo when there was trouble with the union at the same plant. The Machinists’ Union has been active In organising, and many of the men In the different shops that did not take part in the d«nnutdn a year ago have since Joined the union. There was much trouble at the drop-forge plant, and the matter finally got Into the courts, the firm asking an Injunction against Business Agent Collinn tintj several members of the union, retraining them from In any manner Intuifiertiig with the men that desired to waVk. After this had been done the union adopted dlfifcerm tactics, and «u» a result has 1 Boat ot the men In the* organise- %•; the action of the convention at tukoo. by which the scope of the unlvn is widened, the union asserts that It will be able to take in all the men in the plant. ||§ THE A. L. U. IN THE EAST. it Seems to Be Making Inroad* on tha ' Federation. 1 The American Labor Union, which was organised a year ago In the West with the avowed purpose of antagonising the American Federation of Labor, is making Inroads Oh the Federation in the East, It has established four unions In New York, has & musicians' local In Camden. N. J„ two unions of shoe workers In Lytm, Mass,, one in Haverhill and one in Rowley, Mass. In Cincinnati a union of engineers, and In Dayton the assemblers and adjusters have joined the 3«w organisation. So far no Indiana has become affiliated with the American Labor Union, although organisers have been In the State. The American Labor Union makes socialism one of Its chief tenets, and its member* support the Socialist party at the polls. The executive council of the American Federation of Labor made a trip through the Weal last winter In an effort to counteract the new movement, and it waa partly successful, but the opinion of those that keep In touch with labor affairs Is that the Federation will have a fight on It* hands In the East before the Western movement Is finally overthrown. Recant!? the leaders In the Western movement have criticised Max Hayes, of Cleveland, who 1* the high prieat of socialism, because he is a stanch supporter of the American Federation of Labor as against the American labor Union. The criticism has not been well
Action of Machinists' Union at
waukee Has Possibilities.
Should the action of the Machinists' Union, at its convention at Milwaukee, be what appears on Its fnce, there Is promise of another tig squabble over - Ihe jurisdiction question. If the action taken means that the machinists assume jurlsd let low over all the men employed about the machine shops and grades them, it means the absorption of the allied metal mechanics, who have a strong organization, and whose membership la composed of what Is known as handy men and spe-
cialists.
It is not believed that the allied metal mechanics will show a disposition to be thus benevolently assimilated, and will doubtless put In a protest. There are several b.anches of the Mechanics' Union that are not eligible to the Machinists’ Union, and these would have to find dif- j f«r*nt borne*. , , j Several weeks ago, the local union of the mechanics protested to the seating of S the Toothers' Union delegates In the Central Labor Union. The Toothers are part of tho-saw-maklng Industry, but the mechanics claimed jurisdiction over them, and the matter is atlll In abeyance, question that those interested are now

But no matter what the consequences, leaders In the movement assert that the action of the mechanics Is along right lines, and that it 1* only a question of a short time when many of the internationals will disappear, and the membership will be distributed

Union. No official word has been received
by any of the local unions.
Pressmen's and Pressfeeders' delegates to the Cincinnati convention next month are making preparations to wage an active canvass to secure the headquarters The I fcr this city. It seems more than likely, however, that the headquarters will remain in the East, it being reported that there will be sixty-one delegates from

To Push Home-Made Cigars. Following the settlement of their troubles, the Cigar Makers' Union has appointed committees to visit all the local unions In the city and ask that renewed efforts be put forth to further the sale of home-made cigars. The union cigar makers assert that there are millions more foreign-made cigars handled In this city than there are home-made goods, and that while the workingmen do not, as a rule, smoke these goods, they can do much to further the sale of homemade goods by asking their dealers to discriminate against the foreign article. They point, to the fact that the local manufacturer Is In favor of good wages, but that he has to meet the competition of outsiders.
Union* will Affiliate. The Boiler Maker Helpers' Union has voted to affiliate with the Boiler Makers’ Union, and when this la done It will mean one of the strongest unions In the city In point of number*, the membership going up Into the hundreds. This will leave two charters of the boiler makers In this city, the other being held by the sheet metal workers.
Strike at Bedford. Requests have been received In this city for speakers to go to Bedford. Strikers in the quarries assert that they do not intend to capitulate, and the employers are equally positive in their assertions that they will not grant the demands. An A.

During the past four or five years the tendency toward rate readjustments upon a basis which will provide sufficient revenues with which to meet obligations has been operative. Nearly 26 per %ent. of the fraternal societies doing business in Connecticut have
readjusted their schedules.
“A few’ years ago the National Fraternal Congress, composed of representatives of various organizations, formulated and issued a schedule of rates whose adoption was expected to put the societies on a reasonably strong financial basis. Some of the societies have advanced rates even beyond that schedule and have met the situation courageously; others have not gone far enough; some have not read-
justed their rates at all. Strength and Stability.
“The readjustment now under way will naturally tend to promote financial strength and stability. The fact that the societies themselves recognize the necessity of doing this is a hopeful sign. The great problem is to teach the members

How large a fraction of the loss Is attributable to Increased rates is uncertain, and the societies themselves are not unnaturally reluctant to admit membership losses as the result of Increased rates. The Insurance department can not determine, because the returns cover lapses resulting not only from that cause, bun from a multitude of other causes, and It Is consequently impossible to distinguish in detail the causes of the
lapses.

Secretary of Democratic Committee Replies to Commercial Club. Secretary Hoover, of the Commercial Club, has received a letter from Secretary C. A. Walsh, of the Democratic national committee, acknowledging the receipt of the Commercial Club’s Invitation, In behalf of the city of Indianapolis, for the Democratic committee to hold Its national convention In this city. He said that Indianapolis has been placed In the “convention class,’' and pointed out some of the needs of a convention—such as press, telegraphiq and telephone service in the convention hall. He says the general executive committee will meet In Washington in January or February, and that the claims of various cltlee will be taken ud at that time.

When he was restored to her bosom a letter came to the Juvenile Court saying: “God bless you!” The Scandal Court. On Wednesday. Judge Stubbs holds hls "scandal court.” It is behind closed doors. There Judge Stubbs hears the stories of child degeneracy. It Is on Wednesday that the little scarlet girls of the street go before Judge Stubbs to whisper in hls ear why they fell and their hopes for reformation. He advises them, gives them a chance to reform, and tries to find a home for them. They are placed under the eye of the probation officers who know their every move. On Thursday the court hears cases per* tainlng to the adoption of children. The Board of Children’s Guardians has this day set aside for their business. On Friday the delinquents are again heard. To crimes and misdemeanors are devoted two days a week—Tuesday and Friday. Saturday is truancy day. Then Judge Stubbs hears the stories of the boys and girls who have played “hookey." Week In and week out. the Juvenile Court strives for ths uplifting of the children of Indianapolis, and how happily it is succeeding can only be judged by the noticeable decrease in the number of child criminals. "I wiped the slate clean when I left the police bench for the juvenile bench,” said Judge Stubbs. “I have no record against any boy In Indianapolis except wbat has been made since the opening of this court. The boys and I are going to be chummy, but they have to be good and manly. Every bad boy gets a chance, but he must not tgke advantage of the court I H. HERSCHELU

A VARIETY OF C0MPUINTS
The new internes at the City Dispensary sat in the consultation room after breakfast and the talk drifted to their new experience—that of being a real doctor In a real city. Instead of In books. Just out of college and just into practice, they naturally fell to talking “shop.” They are now In the great college of experience. j Dr. D. W. Sheek, who was assigned to the consultation desk by Superintendent Lowry, looked over hls books to find the name of hls first patient. “Beulah Miller, white, twenty-two years old; bronchitis. Lives at S4 North Rural street.” > j She was Dr. Sheek’s first patient and he recalled that he had given her a prescription calling for bronchial cordial. She visited the dispensary last Saturday morning and was the earliest to arrive. Dr. Sheek has had scores of patients since then, but he remembers distinctly wbat she told him, how she looked and how anxiously he waited to bear her story so that he might prescribe for her. Of course, she was hls first patient, and he wanted to “make good.” A “Hopaleaa” FJrat Dr. Harry S. Mackey, who received the practice on the North Side, caught a "hopeless” first. He was called to 628 West North street and found an old negro dying with senility. He was eightyseven years old and was bora in Tennessee. but had never been a slave. The old negro was too near death to tell his name and all the young interne could do was to administer comfort to him. Dr. Mackey's first case was one full of pathos. To-day he found the old negro still living, but beyond human relief. In broad contrast to Dr. Mackey's first call wap the initial call of Dr. & B. Johnson. who answers calls from the South Side. Dr Johnson hurried to Ml Eddy street on a report that a boy was dying there. He found his patient, Carl Rosenberg. thirteen years old, lying between two feather beds. The boy had been running barefoot la advance of the season and as a result had a genuine case of the grip The young doctor started to question the parents about the boy’s case and found that thev could not speak a word of Bnglish. They were Russian Jews. Finally a little girl was found in the neighborhood who could interpret the chatter of the excited parents to the doctor. The boy is better now. Full of Excitement
