Which?

Through an oversight It was stated yesterday In these columns that the Wayne County Board of Charities Is demanding that there be an addition to the jail to take care of the Insane. Just the opposite Is the case. The County Board of Charities Is protesting that no addition be made to the jail and that the same course be pursued with the male insane which has been used with the women who were removed from the Home for the Friendless. It appears that the Board of Charities has good reason for its position inasmuch as there are ten other counties in the state which have followed this plan with notable success and what is more to the point the afflicted women removed to the Wayne County Infirmary and cared for there are doing better nnder the condition of open air and air and competent attention. Moreover there is at the present time one man confined at the County Jail and the Superintendent at the Poor Farm has stated that there Is room for blm at that institution provided an attendant can be secured to take care of him. The general proposition under which this is done Is from considering the Insane, not as Insane, but as charges upon the county who are unable to care for themselves. It would seem that such attendance and nursing and medical attention should be the duty of the county toward all the men and women who need It at the Infirmary. The spirit of the law certainly upholds such a construction.

As we pointed out yesterday there has been too much delay and not enough Interest taken In this very vital concern of the county. When a man is helpless and at the disposal of society, the duty of society toward that man Increases in Intensity. It is a charge on every man and woman In the county that the poor, the sick, the unfortunate and the helpless shall receive the proper treatment. Else why protest that the present state of society has an excuse for being?

Police Power

When Henry Watterson some weeks ago called attention to the fact that with America enthusiastic over Roosevelt's return and a disposition on the part of many people to think of him as the one barrier' between themselves and the forces of predatory wealth It amounted to a confession that our system of government has failed it created some little stir. As an analysis of the reason for the feeling that there needs must be a strong tribune of the people in the national government we submit this paragraph from the United States Senator from Oregon Jonathan Bourne, which appeared recently in Collier's: "But search through our great charter of national Government for any adequate restraint upon the usurpation of police power by the Industrial force of society, and the search is vain. Since the dethronement of the industrialism of chattel slavery by the war, it Is again In the saddie in another form, and in consequence there is today impending a great conflict In America, as elsewhere, between the two factions, or differentiations, of this force, capital and labor, in which popular sovereignty is again to be tried out. Like the ivy covering a' great tree, plutocracy is choking the very life out of our boasted constitutional Government. It could not be otherwise. It is a perfectly logical sequence of every system of government, the construction of which permits of the usurpation by direct or indirect means of the functions of police power by the organized forces of either religion or industry. The organized forces of religion are effectively and forever excluded by the first amendment to our Constitution from acquiring police power. But the impending struggle in America sufficiently attests the usurpation of police power by capital, and if permitted to proceed on its present lines, can end in but one of two results in the establishment of a plutocratic despotism, or in the triumph of socialism, with the chances decidedly in favor of the former. In our Hamiltonian constitution unamended, undisturbed, there is no escape, because its "admirable system of checks and balances" has intrenched the usurper as it was intended to intrench the Government, almost beyond the reach of the electrorate, as attested by the . impotency of the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Impotency of the courts, and of an impotent but willing executive to reach in, any lawful manner the malefactors of great wealth, or to secure from Congress adequate legislation to dethrone the Interests. The people know the truth of the situation as certainly as the Interests know it through their counsel, and instinctively the people know the escape from an established plutocratic tyranny on the one hand, or from that of socialism on the other, lies in reclaiming to themselves direct control over the police powers of the nation."

Is merely their mlsfortim that they inevitobly follow the largest flood of printer's ink. It is their misfortune. It gives their efforts thi aspect of insincerity and inconsistency, of hysteria and instability. They attack one big thing, but do not find their complacency at all disturbed by twenty small things of similar nature. They run with the largest crowds and raise their voices in the loudes. clamor. The result may be good, but that will have o be proved. It is easy to become excited over the thing in the spotlight. It is more Intelllgen to bo interested against the thing in the shadow. Short Weights and Measures. From the New York Sun. Mayor Gay nor 's campaign against chenting tradesmen has resulted in revelations that nobody expected. "Fixed" scales and liquid and dry measures of short capacity arc unhappily familiar to all, but what has tho general public known of dry goods lacking Inches in the yard and barrels far tinder the statutory size? Thesi are described under the gentle title "trade customs," and all of them, wherever found, have one conspicuous and illuminating quality in common; the "trade custom" delivers always to the customer less than he thinks he la buying. It never results in Ms benefit, unless the "baker's dozen" still exists and puts an extra bun on the family breakfast table. Some Difference. From the Newark News. . Nevertheless, even Mr. Glenn Curtlss will probably admit that there's a big difference between dropping oranges on a pleasure yacht and dropping bombti on tho deck of a big battleship. A Sagacious Plan. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. London decreases manslaughter by permitting none but competent drivers at the steering wheels of automobiles. American cities might try what seoms to be the simplest-and most obvl'ms remedy. TWINKLES BY PHILANDER JOHNSON. A MIx-Up. "I shall have to get a secretary to keep my correspondence straight." said Mr. Percival Pinktee. "Trouble with your investments?" "Oh no. But I'm terribly annoyed

to find that while I was abroad I sent a lot of Paris post cards from Berlin."

The Test. "Has he a literary reputation?" "Not worth mentioning." replied the eminent novelist, Mr. Bill Hoboken. "I never saw him wearing a reporter's badge at a prize fight" The Weary Explainer. "Charley, dear," said young Mrs. Torkins, "why does the umpire wear a chest protector in this warm weather?" "Well," he replied, slowly, as a what's-the-use expression crept into his eye, "you see, an umpire has to take care of his health. Every once in a while, when he gives a decision, the catcher comes down and helps the pitcher say something and a lot of the other players join in. When all this conversation starts the draft the umpire stands In is something dreadful." The Muse's Workshop. By bold display of simple strength The poet now proceeds; He measures off a certain length Of line to fit his screeds. And if for rhyme he lacke the time His grief he does not nurse. He chops the stuff with nerve sublime And labels it "blank verse." A Self-Appointed Nemesis. "I'm afraid something is going to happen to that young man who is rocking the boat!" "Young lady." replied Farmer Ccrntossel, "you're a prophetess. I've been Rlttln here on the shore with this fence picket in my stout right hand to make sure somethln happens to him jes' as soon as he lands." Fearful Frankness Poor old thermometer, Hangin' in the sun. Never gettln any rest; Alius on the run! Have to keep In trainin For a promenade From somethln less than zero To a hundred in the shade! You're one of those companions Who think It's up to you " To tell ns without flinchin Just what you think is true. Poor old thermometer! Your candor ne'er unbends. We praise your sense of duty But you haven't any friends.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.

Copyrfsht. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye MARKJED AT TWELVE. Recently in an Indiana town the parents of a girl twelve years of age permitted her to marry a man of thirty. Which was a vicious crime against childhood. More than that, it was a crime against society, against civilization, a crime against the future. Think of it: A girl of twelve years, still in short dresses, whose place should be on her father's knee;f girl of tender years, whose ooly serious concern should be her school work and whose cbiefest pleasures should be ber dolls and playhouses! The pity of it! What does this baby of twelve yesrs know about a husband or marriage or love or life? No girl is physically fit to be a wife or mother at twelve. Marriages of that sort are made only in India and the orient, where wives are regarded only as toys or playthings. What sort of children may be expected from a child mother not yet in her teens? . Society puts its age limits upon marriage not only, for the protection of the contraction parties, but to protect itself from children born with a handicap. It is easy to predict the finish of this child if the marriage stands. At an age when otber young girls are beginning to entertain their earlier beaus she will be a broken, nervous wreck, doomed perhaps to an early grave. The wrong of it! It was a ruthless act. The tendency of our day is away from early marriages, and for a good reason. We are beginning to understand that wifehood and motherhood call for a maturity, physical and mental, of twice twelve years. If the race is to advance the mother must be fit and educated for ber duties. Poor little Hoosier girl! Justice and decency demand she should be taken from her new home by the humane or some otber society and sent to school. And decency and justice demand, that the mature parties to the conspiracy should be punished. " - TO A FATHER. You say Jimmie is twelve. Then it is high time, if you have not already done so, to become Jlmmie's chum. It was all right for bis mother to have charge of him so long as he was more baby tbau boy. He could tell her everything, and she could help him in everything. She knew where he was and what be was doing. It Is different now. The boy is big enough to be called "James." and secretly he yearns for long trousers. Unconsciously, maybe, but 'surely, be is tugging to get loose from his mother's apron strings. He begins to be a man. This is your opportunity to get close to him. JImmie wants a mate to talk to and confide In. You can be that mate if you want to be. Jimmie would rather be your sworn pal tban to take up with any otber person on earth. It would please him mightily. 1 The danger is this: He may become either ashamed or afraid to confide in you. And if he is either he may consult some barum sea rum of the street. Some fathers, altogether too dignified or stern, proceed on the theory that the son must recognize the parental authority, and they lay down the law and punish' the least Infraction of It They believe that will keep the boy straight. It will doubtless keep blm from wrongdoing where It can be found out. You see. the danger Is that Jimmie. being afraid of you. may become a sneak. He will not tell you the truth. He will deceive you. And Jimmie is likely to become not only a sneak, but a liar. Also If Jimmie is ashamed to tell you about some things he may do things of which he ought to be ashamed. My -dear sir, you may so have the confidence of your son that be will tell you everything everything! Nothing la too delicate for father and son to discuss If they are chums. JimnSe must know from some sourcethe things you know about life. How much better you should tell him than some other! Do you want your boy to face temptations Ignorantly or wrongly instructed? What are you in the world for anyway? To make money for Jimmie? No! You are In the world to help your boy make a man of himself a man as good as you nre or better. For that :irej.ytm n father. And if Jitunile fails to make- a good man it will largely be your fault and your shame. But if he succeeds: Why. that will be the joy aud triumph of your life. ' defect IfeuUeW!
