Stanley Ogg, Charles ^Baylies and

s
Following is tftjp address o£ ^odge
Palmer in full:
"I am glad to speak to the labor
council," Judge Palmer said, "because
I know that when anyone wants any
thing, he goes to the persons who
Have a record for doing things.
"Juvenile Court is not' a criminal
Court,'' he said, "but rather a Court
of salvation for the redemption of
children, that they may be put on
the right path after one foot has
started in the wrong direction."
Judge Palmer voiced the need of a
school which will do for boys what
the Hamilton Training School ift do
ing for girls. v
•, Not Pretentious
"It need not be a pretentious build
Igfi," Jud£e Palmer said. "Some mod
est residence such as you have here
will suffice. Put in charge some
sensible man and woman. Then when
the children come to us we shall find
out as much about them as we can
after which we will put them in
charge of the superintendent and the
matrom
"I want to be able to com down
here and pick out somebody who
knows how the case ought to be
handled. Pick out a man and intro
duce him to the boy. Give him 'he
boy's record. Show him where the boy
has lacked opportunity. In other
words I want to parole him to you.
"Advise him like his own parents
ought to do and did not do. Know
where he spends his nights, with
whom Tie keeps company, whether he
is in school when he ought to be
there.
"When he has his little troubles let
him come to you to ask you what he
should do.
Guardianship
"Put yourself into a position that
when the occasion arises you can
stand up to it like a man. This coun
cil should be able to furnish all the
men to assume the guardianship and
control of as many boys as the court
sees fit to allot to you.
"All this/'Judge Palmer said, "after
we get the detention home which is
so necessary and whibh I am sure
we are going to get.
"The boy should have all of the
privileges to which he is entitled to
and must have to become a law-abid
ing citizen of the commurftty.
"This is our opinion. The law is
ample. The County Commissioners
have the authority to provide such
a home. Tp be fair to the commis
sioners, they are friendly to the
thought they think it is a big thing
but that stone wall comes up, the
money with which to provide the
home.
"You men ought not be expected
to go down into your pockets. Neither
should I be expected to. You all pay
your taxes.
Some Way Open
"The detention home is as i^ces
sary as the building of a briage or
the paving of a road. There is no
need for paved roads unless you've
got good law-abiding citizens. Worlds
and worlds of money are spent in
Butler County for bridges and roads
which are no more necessary than
what I am asking you to help me
get.
"I have no method to suggest"
Judge Palmer continued, "except that
when public officials are urged by
committees of various organizations
to provide these things, some way
is found to provide the funds.
Judge Palmer has addressed the
Optimist club, the Rotary club and
a number of church organizations, all
of which have appointed committees
to push the project. He urged co-op
eration of the various committees, in
the interest of the detention home.
"I hope this organization the men
it represents," Judge Palmer said,
"will co-operate to get the necessary
place so that the court can answer
at le.ist to some degree the ptm.ose
for which is was found.
Easiest Way
"The easiest way for the Court
would be to send the boy to Lan
caster. That school has done as well
as a school of that type can do, but
BUTLER COUNT*
it has been my experience that when:
a boy leaves that institution and re
turns to his parents, he comes back!
worse than he goes. I do not know
that it is the fault of the school.
"The boy there does not have that,
personal individual touch which is
necessary after he gets started in the
wrong direction,
"Nine put of ten boys who corie^
before the court and four out of five,
who go to Lancaster, if they had the
advice and attention which they
should have from the proper ntani
could be reclaimed to lives of useful-?
ness to society. When we do that'
yve
are fulfilling to some extent jurj
duty to society.
''We have n6t fulfilled ou~ 'utyf
when we have paid out taxes. We are
not doing anything toward society!
We are not reclaiming juveniles. Itl
is an individual problem and one
which the state cannot hope to cope^
with, without the help of men lik$
you and the ones you represent.
Helping the Boys
"Men will do it. Men are doing it
in Hamilton today. I have boys irf
Hamilton, paroled to Hamilton citi-*
:ens. They are responsible for these
boys u(ho otherwise would be in
Lancaster. I have placed only three
or four. The experience is young but
from what I can see, it is not only
:loing the boys good, but every man
who assumed such a duty, is getting
more good out of the experiment
than the boy. It is not a selfish
duty.
"I guarantiee that if you take on
this obligation, while you will do the
boy a world of good, you will your
telf twice as much good. I promise
that will be your reward. It is a big
thing to ask of you. We cannot do it
-ilone. We can do it with your ,he|p."

Anniversary of the Death of Sam 7 Gompers
s
By WILLIAM GREENF
4 President American Federation of Labor
Just before daybreak December 13, 1924, the news was flashed
throughout the world that Samuel Gompers, president of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, had passed away. The sorrow was universal.
The wage earnei-s had lost a loving, conscientious leader, the nation
a great statesman and the world a great soul.
On the first anniversary of his death the love for Samuel Gomperi
and the respect for his teachings are as great as ever. He was a man
who frowned upon all efforts to create classes or castes he was a true
seeker for the brotherhood of man. His vision was surpassing great.
As a boy of fourteen he became a leader in thought and principles
that afterward made the American.labor movement so successful.
As he looked forward every day to a better day and a still better
day for the wage earners let us follow his example. Let his spirit
guide us as he would have guided us.
UNA
Tis
It was an eventful life that passed when Samuel Gompers died.
For sixty years or more he had only one thought, one ambition—
to help in the advancement of his fellowmen.
Words are inadequate to express the love and veneration held for
l|im in life and now in memory.
Let us make his ambition our ambition. Let us hew to the line
as he hewed to the line, so that in time his vision will become a realijty.
HOUGH not in general usage, Una
one of the most interesting of
feminine names. It means "famine,"
according to etymologists, though the
great and only Spenser who brought
the name into fashion rejected this
interpretation. It is typically an Irish
name and since It resembles ''one,"
Spenser gave the title of Una to his
lovely personation of the one truth,
the one true undivided church, the
guide tf the Red Cruss Knight.
Una is queen of the fairies in the
loamy onnond, in which she ap
pears in one version of the story of
the soldier billeted on a miser. The
man was amazed at his hospitable re
ception and entertainment as he
thought by the avaricious squire, until
morning disclosed the fact that Una
had raised the mansion and provided
the supper.
Una is much in use today among the
Irish peasantry. It is often pro
nounced Oonagh and has been Angli
cized as Winny.
The pearl is Una's tallsmanie gem.
it is the emblem of purity, popularity
and affability. She whw wears it wil1
have many friends and admirer?
Tuesday Is her lucky day and A he'
