Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicage, Da HERR MONDAY, MARCH 4, 1929 EE renation SEPARATING CHILDREN FROM } CRIMINALS Judge R, S. Hoskins, of the Toronto juvenile court, at the Kiwanis Club luncheon on Friday, summed up in a nutshell the great advantages which are to be obtained by the establishment of a juvenile court in Oshawa, ; The first benefit mentioned is that it separates 'children from criminals, When a young boy or girl commits a misdemeanour, not serious in itself, but showing a dangerous mental trend, that child is not a criminal, In most cases, the offence results from an over-abundance of energy being used in the wrong direction, To brand the child as a criminal by using the formal police court procedure is folly of the worst kind, Yet that is the condition which prevails where there is no juvenile court, The point that the aim of the juvenile court is re- formation rather than punishment is another strong factor in favor of the juvenile court, This was well brought out by Judge Hoskins, who, from the depth of his experience, knows just what can be accom- plished by the juvenile court in keeping boys from descending to lives of crime, Another idea worth remembering is that the func- tion of the juvenile court is to teach respect for the 'law, instead of inculcating in the child a feeling of terror of judges and policemen, After all, the chief function of these officials should be preventive rather than corrective, and the best time for preventive methods is in the days of youth, when the first wrong steps can be checked and the child turned into the right paths, All of these are strong arguments in favor of the establishment of a juvenile court in Oshawa, and they are strong enough to compel the city council to take the necessary steps to have such a court brought into being here as quickly as possible, THE MINERS' REAL NEEDS Funds in aid of the destitute British miners are be- ing raised in many parts of Canada, and are being given good support by the people generally, This is highly commendable, for it shows a realization of the fact that Britishers are brothers all the world over, and that there is a duty in helping to ameliorate the "conditions of brothers in distress, The fact that such funds are being raised, how- ever, only emphasizes the appeal which is now being made in Canada by Sir Alfred Cope, who has come from Wales in an effort to increase the market for Welsh coal in this country, His belief is that Wales, 8s well as Alberta, could supply a large proportion of the coal which is now being imported into this country from the United States, and that this would do more than anything else to solye the problems of the British miners, ; It is a fact that Welsh coal has already a small market in this country, In 1927, for instance, 250,000 tons of Welsh coal were imported into Canada, This made it possible to give employment to 12,000 miners, One can readily see what it would mean in employ- ment were even one million tons of Welsh coal to be brought in and marketed in this country, for it would give work to close to 50,000 miners, While it is a fact that there is a campaign in Can- ada to have the people of this country use a larger proportion of Canadian coal, it might be quite pos- . sible to import more anthracite coal from Wales, thus displacing some of the United States product in the Canadian market. This would be an act of real patriotism within the empire, and would be a practical measure for the relief of the unemployed miners in Wales. THE WOMEN'S VOTE IN QUEBEC Once again the provincial legislature of Quebec has rejected a proposal to extend the franchise to women, This is a peculiar attitude for a Canadian province to fake in these enlightened days, when universal suffrage for both sexes has become common in most modern countries, and is the rule all over the Dominion, except in the French-Canadian pro- vince. It may be, of course, that the French-Canadian women in Quebec are not so anxious to have the vote as are those of their sex in the other provinces. Perhaps they feel that the way to progress for their sex lies mot through the ballot-box, but rather in their homes, where large broods of children are the mule rather than the exception, ; Jt may be that therein lies the main reason why the legislators of Quebec have refused to allow the women to vole. They see all around them the women and their children, not families of one or two, as in the other provinces, but large broods of them, suf- ficient to tax the energy and capabilities of even the strongest women, without loading on them the added responsibility of trying to study public questions Perhaps in such regulations will be put into effect in the the federal department of agricul While there will be those who will object to beef there have been objectors to the and other commodities, the step is a 'good ome, The primary object of all grading laws Ia to create higher standards of quality for Canadian produce. There are two reasons for this, The first is to protect the ultimate consumer, and to give the pur chasing public some guarantee as to the grade and quality of what is being bought, The second rea son, and the most important one, is that by well enforced grading laws, quality can be consistently roved until markets and enlarged and new mai markets created for the products of Canadian farms, The striking success achieved by the egg and fruit grading laws in opening up larger and better mar kets for Canadian produce has amply justified them. Canadian beef has for years been somewhat under a cloud, and if the grading laws will set new atand- ards of quality for this product, then the result should be highly satisfactory to both producer and consumer, i.e EDITORIAL NOTES The department of agriculture is planning to keep official records of goats, This, of course, only refers to the four-legged variety, There is one good reason why Ontaric should not have a divorce court, It would remove about the last reason for having a Senate in Canada, Washington will next week be flooded with visitors for the inauguration of President Hoover, And half of the visitors will remain there in the guise of office seekers, The governor of Florida has decreed that all forms of gambling must stop at once in that state, Is he really going to put a stop to the favorite Florida pastime, that of selling real estate, The tax on gasoline having increased to five cents, benefits are likely to be felt in two ways, It will reduce the consumption of gas, and at the same time reduce the wear and tear on the highways, Many citizens have left Winnipeg for the winter because it is too cold, says the Winnipeg Tribune, Imagine a Winnipeg newspaper exploding the old story that it never feels cold out in the west, It is gratifying to know that Canada had a favor- able trade balance in the last ten months, but it would cause greater satisfaction if a larger part of that balance was made up of fully manufactured goods, « Other Editors' Comment ~ WON'T QUESTION IT (New York Evening Post) There are times when we question the pronounce ments of the learned, but one of the things we have decided not to prove for ourselves is the recent state ment of a prominent naturalist that lions are near- sighted, ONLY A FEW OF THEM (London Advertiser) A small company of social climbers at Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa are doubtless saddened as a result of the titles vote, but the House of Commons may be certain that it expresses the mind of the country, FLYING FOR ALL (London Daily Chronicle) . If we are to keep pace with other countries in that form of transport which is most vital to the main. tenance of the Empire, several things are needed, We must have a large number of persons who have scquired an air sense--persons qualified as pilots, We must also have a great aeroplane industry--and for this British skill in engineering peculiarly quali- files us, Yet we are far behind several Continental countries, where Germany is easily first. The third need, that of a far-flung network of international sir- routes, is supremely important, but we shall not have it till a bigger subsidy is granted, In the mean- time industrialists will wisely catch at every straw, and may be expected to make progress in the manu- facture of light machines, COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA (Peter Simple in the London Morning Post) It would be a mistake to take too seriously the an- tics of the Communist party; which has recently in its annual confernce been deploring the falling off of its membership and resolving to have done with the Left Wingers. The performance, given thus osten- tatiously in the public gaze, is so much dope to Jull vigilance and suspicion, The Communist Party has never depended on numbers, and has never possessed them, It is more of a secret society than a political party, and its activities are underground.

Wilfrid Bovey, of McGill Uni- versity, said in concluding an address before members of the Lions Club of Montreal at a luncheon meeting in the Mount Royal Hotel, | Col, Bovey brought forth some of the interesting and what appears to day as ludicrous anecdotes of the early history of Canada during his lecture which he entitled "Humors of Canadian History." He stressed the need for Canadians to have not only a historical knowledge of the principal events in the formation of the Domirtion but also to sustain their interest by reading more widely the romantic stories of the early ioneers not revealed in history text ooks, An Early Traveller Among the many revealing stories told by the speaker was an extract from the journal of a lady traveller of all supplications, prayers, inter | respect and to my humble prayers | PRAYER: Almighty Ged, Ruler | RES 80 Acres of grounds in the Bvery lmown § Bacellent 'onnected with COUNTRY CLU ATMOSPHERE NAUTILUS One of America's finest and most modern fireproof resort hotels, An Unequalled Winter Playground out-of-doors and hea creation under Seal climatte Dothing--Yachting--Motor Boating Fishing sixteen non-housekeeping villas, GEORGE 8, XROM, Mi anager HOTEL ha center of all activities, giving ve.

About two o'- clock we reach Carillon, A train runs alongside the vessel" Then followed a description of a two hours' train ride through burnt over country, following which the traveller again took a small steamer to reach Ottawa about 6 o'clock, In telling of the rapid advance of transportation facilities, Colonel Bo- vey stated that though the lady was a good raconteuse she was a poor prophet, "Within sixty years," said Colonel Bovey, "Ottawa and Montreal were properly linked, the last spike in the Canadian Pacific had been driven at Craigellachie, Canada with ! one-tenth of the population had done as great a thing as the United States in transcontinental railway building and had two-thirds of the mileage of Great Britain," INCOMING IMMIGRANTS TAKE UP HOMESTEADS Of the 2,582 families directed to new farm Jocations in Western Can- ada through the efforts of the Can- adian National Railways Land Settlement Association during 1928, a total of 1614 took up homesteads.
