Burke who observed that “the writers against religion whilst they oppose every system are wisely careful never to set up any of their own” Of destructive criticism against churchgoing there is much and to spare of constructive criticism there Is none The infidel and the' iconoclast busy themselves in destroying the faith of the Impressionable without offering him any substitute therefor Stripped of the hope that alone renders endurable an existence he finds unsatisfying the credulous pupil of the scoffers is left unsheltered against adversities which but serve to quicken in the true believer

appointment Page at the Court of St James was Mr Wilson’s publisher in the years agone when the President as an author was a liability and his selection for the place paid a debt Several of the others were of gratitude chosen by Mr Bryan when Secretary of State after searching his memory concerning those who were faithful in those unfruitful dass when Wall street was the Most of them must by enemy’s country now have solved at least the rudiments of their occupation and it seems profoundly unwise to dismiss them just when they have become useful One of the solemn pledges of this administration was that the diplomatic service should not be prostituted to the redemption of political obligations That pledge was repudiated but not a few of the men chosen have developed with their responsibilities and are infinitely more competent than In- t tax-eate- rs Childish Culprits in Utah r progressed' far beyond the UTAH has that the substantial expression of humanitarian impulses is a luxury which may he abandoned when the expense of necessities exhausts the apparent" income There are obligations society in the mass owes its individual units that cannot be evaded with Impunity Among these is the conservation of human resources which is the particular business for which the juvenile court was Introduced and Is maintained Criminal and Immoral tendencies are largely the result of environment Heredity may enter into the equation but hereditary predisposition to crime or Immorality is susceptible of correction precisely as the wise physician may curb or overcome in a given patient a predisposition to a particular malady And the role the physician enacts in the processes of pathology is enacted by the juvenile court in the processes of The childish offender responds sociology to rational treatment as the enervated body responds to intelligent medication Juvenile tribunals were created to eradicate the evils which were promoted by herding juvenile culprits with hardened offenders and arraigning them In courts too congested to devote sufficient time to the individual case It Is the purpose of the juvenile court not to punish but to reform The juvenile judge Is not a stern taskmaster but a comprehening friend more concerned with definite mercy than abstract justice If the presiding judge is worthy his incumbency his value to society far outweighs his salary and the expense of his court Crime is more readily' stemmed at Its inception than at its flood When ihe youthful criminal is turned to paths of righteousness and good citizenship the problem is

to be doubtful whether the regulation of all mankind from Washington Is a successful experiment Mr Wilson' is President not of humanity but of the United States The chief executive of one hundred millions of Americans is a more imposing figure as' viewed from Europe than front - the immediate or the middle distance Americans read without excitement the hint in hi peace note that the war had reached a deadlock because he is probably no better judge than any of hla uninformed fellows But his words ring among the subject peoples of Europe as those of one having authority' and we may question whether any of the governments in question relish the doubts of eventual triumph he has thus created At the most the President can only be considered as having obtruded his opinions into a

Library r One of the 'first things that attract : attention are theV cement-- ' or marble Z floors which everywhere prevail in these buildings The floors looked cold but-iactual experience it was not so v The 'walls and floors were all warmed comfortably: and - one felt no sense 'of discomfort from this hygienic and entirely satisfactory floor arrangement Ip the public library the furnishings- are oak'-- - The walls are tinted a- - restful cream The steel bookcases divide the many halls and reading rooms' into alcoves with the exception-othe genealogical section' This the west especial ball is on "the top floor-icorner’ of the library and is perhaps 60 by 10Q feet ‘the books are eJl in unglassed cases around the wall with a little iron fence railing tc keep out visitors and students- There is a" platform running around inside About eight feet above the floor thus any books permitting the attendantsor- to reach the the visitor oncen-tewanted by the student upper tiers of shelves The desk in the oner holds first of all the) register where must sign his name and address before asking the attendant for a book All books are handed out by the attendants except reference books A paint of attraction is the arrangement of the books They are classified in something the same way li-as these same books are at the "antiquarian and brary of the New York Genealogicalstreet Biographical society on Fifty-eight- h In the Public library all the genealogical books are catalogued and- indexed first according to subject and seconu according to th® author The latter 'process seems a very unnecessary one- to the genealogist but is declared necessary by the busy attendants The visitor on entering the hall to registers his name and then may-stat- surname the attendant any particular family he is Interested in and thus receive help from the attendant in getting the books which he requires but the visitor may also all apply to the card index ana mere find the books listed under any special name After filling out a slip with his own name and the title of the books which he' wishes to use he hands it to the attendant and he receives the books for use without any speThe cial consultation with the tieimant stranand students used method is first by The second gers in the Public library method is of course the one practiced by the familiar New York genealogists who classified work a good deal in Fifty-eight- h street on library The attendant answered the question as to the number of books in the library by 16000 bound saying that they had about books without counting at all the thousands of city directories wmch completely line the walls of an adjacent reading room perhaps 200 feet long and 100 feet wide Directories were a new idea to the visitor from Utah Why directories?
