Show JUDGE BROWN STICKS. Tho refusal of Judge Willis Brown to sense -the scnthing rebuke administered admin-istered to him by the Supromo Court; his callousness to the demand from the source from whence ho derived his appointment; his wholly perverse and personally selfish view of tho present situation as it concerns himself and tho Juvenile Court, establish irrefutable ir-refutable and new evidence of his unfitness un-fitness for tho position which he holds with a firmness that is in inverse ratio to his fitness to hold it at all. Judge Brown has shockod and disgusted dis-gusted every ono who knows his methods meth-ods and his characteristics. It is prob ably not too much to say that tho uest friends of tho Juvenile Court would feel that it should be abandoned if Judge Brown wero to bo permanently saddled uppn it. Secretary Cox of the Y. M. C. A., alwa3s a firm and strong supporter of the Juvenile Court, sayB that he cannot stand for Brown personally. per-sonally. And many others aro quito in accord with his view. And yot Brown insists upon inflicting upon tho Juvenile Court the injury which his presence at the head of it imposes. There would seem, then, but one right and safe thing to do. The Juvenile Juve-nile Court must not be abandoned: hut this "old man oC the sea'' must bo thrown off. And sinco the Legislature will necessarily have to change in some essential particulars, tho law which created this Juvenile Court, it ought to make a thorough, clean job of it, enact an entirely now statute on the subject, specificalh' repealing the old entirely, and thus continue the Juvenile Juve-nile Court, allowing it to live and to obtain tho respect of the community, which it now emphatically lacks. |
