COULD NOT ENFORCE ORDERS Youths it Was Designated to Punish Were Quick to Realize Their Advantage. The junior juvenile court of St. Loujs, in which young lawyers acted as judges and schoolboys as police officers, has proven a failure. The court tended to make tattlers of the boys. it sought to correct and will therefore be abolished. That was an- nounced by Judge Rhodes E. Cave of | the juvenile court, The junior court was launched sev- eral months ago as an experiment to try boys for offenses not serious enough for the juvenile couct. An of- fender could be sentenced to wash his mother’s*dishes, carry coal or just “to be a good boy,” but the junior court had_no legal authority to compel ful- fillment of the sentence. “The boys were quick to see that,” Judge Cave said. Operation of the junior court and its elaborate system of boy officials was supervised by municipal probation of- ficers and the juvenile judge. Gave Up Fight for Freedom. Robert Burris, the young farmer of New Cambria neighborhood who was convicted at the September term of the Macon Circuit Court of killing D. D. Dowell, the father of Burris’s sweetheart, came in and voluntarily surrendered himself to the sheriff, an- nouncing that he would dismiss his appeal to the supreme court and go to the penitentiary for ten years in ac- cordance with the jury's. verdict. Young Burris was accompanied by his ‘father, Jesse Burris, to Jefferson City. Hyde Case Goes Over. The fourth trial of Dr. B. Clark Hyde, charged with the murder of Thomas H.

John Montgom- ery, jr., was toastmaster. Hurled Cop Through Window. After he had hurled one policeman through a window and had cut an- other with a knife, William Richard- son, a negro of giant stature, was shot and killed by Patrolman Franklin J. Herbert, of St. Louis, whom the negro had thrown from the building. Prairie Chicken Thick There. The farmers living in the northeast part of Linn county report great num- bers of prairie chickens in that 1l9- cality. They estimate as many a8 five hundred in one field at one time feeding from the cane: and corn shocks. Refused $1,000 Bequest. Refusal of $1,000 bequeathed her in the will of the late Valda S.

Quite a compliment (?) was passed on the music class the other day. The ' Teachers’ Training class was review- ‘ing ‘‘Attention and_Behavior.’’ Miss | Smith had been explaining the fluctu- | ation of attention, and wished to - illus- | trate it by a concrete example. Sud- jdenly, she said, ‘‘Perhaps you hadn’t | been noticing the noise up above.”’ Im- | mediately we all turned our attention tothe noise and to our amusement, recognized the music class. A bit of oneof our frequently occuring class lectures is well worthsrepeating. Be it known first, that the lecture was ‘addressed to the Seniors but not AT , them. The European war, I believe, | started it, This is the summary: ‘“‘A trait of human nature—We are very | much inclined to judge other people by ourselves; very much inclined to meas- ure our own corn in the other fellow’s spected and maintained in our great|of recipes which they have tried out half bushel.’”’ ‘It is to be deplored besic industries,” tn. the inquiry many noted men and wemen—capitalists, philanthrop- ists, social workers, labor writers and others—will nesses, The Employes’ Side of It. “The fundamental principle of de- mocracy is that the people shall hav a compelling voice’in determining the laws and torm of government under whicli they live,’ Mr. Walsh — said. “That principle is now being applied to industry and public opinion is rapidly coming to concede the neces- sity of giving wage-earners a voice in determining working conditions if they are to enjoy the measure of free- dom which the founders of our coun- try intended. “The men who control our greatest industries are in many instances the Men who are most active in promot- ing philanthropy and social better- tment work, They have set aside vast | sums of money as permanent endow- ments and their expenditures are rapidly giving them a compelling in- fluence in the fields of philanthropy, be wit- education, economic and sociological resources and other branches of social betterment work by-which the thought of the country is molded. The Coal Miners’ Investigation. “If the record of these men in the management of industry shows a be- lief in democratic principles and a firm adherence to those principles, then we have nothing to tear, for the present, at least, in their interest in philanthropic and educational moves. {ut the commission's recent inquiry into-the coal miners’ strike in Colorado indicated that this is not the fact and that the Rockefeller in- terests at least prefer paternalism or benevolent absolutism to democracy. interests toward their employes in Colorado is to be maintained in di- recting the work of the Rockefeller Foundation, incliding the investiga- tion of industrial relations, the public should know of it. In both activities the control is in the hands of the same men, This is not generally un- derstood by the public.” No Monarchial Trend. Mr, Walsh said he did not mean to suggest that there is danger of “a trend toward monarchial. government” in this country. “Such talk is absurd,” he declared, “I domean that an industrial organization where- in the empioyes have no voice in de- democratic and incompatible American ideals. “We have held several investiga- tions {In the West, going into indus- trial conditions in the mining, lumber- ing and other industries. Now we are. coming here to.examine the peo- ple who own, direct or control these interests. We want to investizate the effect these philanthropic foundations have upon industries, directly and also the advertising from these industries with their relation to industry.” ‘KANSAS CITY BANK BURNS Fire Starting in Basement of Corn Belt Institution Causes a Loss of $75,000. Kansas City, Jan. 12.—A fire that started from an unknown cause short- ly after 2 o’clock yesterday morning in the basement of the Corn Belt bank building, 1017-19 Grand avenue, practically gestroyed the two-story building, causing a loss of around $75,- 000, Because of the inability of the firemen to gain access to the build- ing in the intense heat and smoke, the fire was not extinguishel until 6 o'clock. The ground floor of the building housed the Citizens’ Savings Trust Compaay, D. C. Prudden, -optigian, and the Hall Craft-Gift shop. The sec- ond floor was occupied by the Corn Belt Mortgage Company, Adelstein’s Jadies’ tallor shop, the Kansas City News service, the Merchants’ asso- ciation and a few small-offices. ——— St. Louls Boy Fugitive Found.

Class yells rang back and forth for a few minutes. | Then the assembly rose and led by the 'Glee Club sang “I Need Thee Every | Hour” and ‘‘Sunshine in My Soul.” Rev.

Miss Fenton had the pa- |pers graded by the members of the class. As they have not yet been hack, the result is still pretty doubtful. ‘One girl started to write ‘‘What three years of High School has did for muh,’’ for a joke, but a sudden vivid mental image of her grade caused her to change her mind precipitately.

Sophmore Notes. ~ Frank: Adams, who has. previously been a student in the QJathe, Kans., High School, has lately entered our no- ble class of B. H. S. We sincerely welcome him into our activities as one of the Sophs. B The Sophmore girls played a game of basket ball with the Senior girls last week and were defeated by only six points: . The Sophmores are very enthusiastic over their games just now in regard to rooting. We have some new yells and also a new yell-leader, Frank Adams. He knows how it is done and if you hear us ull yell you would think about this way—‘‘Sophs are here, get off the map.” Senior Notes. Nearly half of our last year of school is gone.
