A JnenHe Courk
Every county in Maryland should
have a Juvenile Court. Only one
has —Allegany. Baltimore city has
had such a court for a number of
* years, but it does not consider coun
ty cases.
Under the present law, children
less than sixteen years old taken in
to custody for any reason, may be
put in jail. It matters not wheth
er they be offenders or offended
against, young thieves or neglected
children, without proper care or
guard'anshlp.
The Juvenile Court system aims
to do away with the necessity for
detention, but where, because oi
coming from a distance or other
valid reason, the child must be
held, it will be cared for in a suit
able private home until the case is
disposed of. Detention of this kind
could be by co-operation
with the Maryland Children’s Aid
Society.
It l a cruel thing te put a child
in jail. The stigma of having been
• “behind the bars” is hard to live
down. Then there is always danger
to the child in association with
adult criminals, even the brief inter
course of the j allyard. Old hands
at wronging coached one 13-year
old boy in Jail, drilling him how to
testify to his innocence of a charge
to which he had already pleaded
guilty.
Bverv county has cases of youth
ful offenders and neglected minors
to deal with and, lacking a Juvenile
Court, it must be left to (he discre
tion o* the Individual magistrate
how to handle eases where a boy
or 'girl faces a charge that seems
too serious to dismiss offhand. It
cannot but be a temptation to the
perplexed official to evade personal
responsibility by sending the case on
to court for trial. The fact that,
under the present law, the child
must be kept in jail in the mean
time, seems not to have any weight ;
in the matter.
In one county five boys robbed
a bakeshop and had a feast. They
were committed for court, the five
ol them bundled off to the county
jail together. There they were
in close contact, when the one thing
indispensable was to separate them
' , from each other. One boy was 1
( found to be feebleminded, one in- 1
corrigible, and the other three need
, ad only proper home influence. In
pMlng.not the iqact of the Juvenile
~v .Court's services to the public is
to light such deficiencies
}hat the un-
AUdTmaj'be P laced in an
S||f|pPSßsn where it will be so
that it will not drift into
' delinquency and be an evil associ
ate for other children.
This is a sample of the kind of
' cases that come up in the counties.
These should not be jail cases. Chil
dren under Id should be tried as
children, not as adult criminals. En
lightened communities everywhere
are demanding the Juvenile Court.
This county should be in the march
ef progress.
MaryM Preachers Going to
National Inti-Saloon league
Goonolioo.
The Anti-Saloon League of Mary
land gave out the following state
ment Saturday respecting the com
ing National Convention of the
League:
It is expected that a special train
—probably a long one. If not two
trains —will be needed to take the,
Maryland contingent to the next
National Convention of the Anti-
Saloon League of America, which
will be held at Columbus, Ohio, be
ginning Monday night, 10,and
running through Thursday night, of
the 13th.
It is expected that several hun
dred Maryland preachers will make
this trip. Having found out that a
number of congregations expect to
pay the expenses of their ministers,
the Antj-Saloon League is planning
to submit to every church official
ooard in the State of Maryland the
proposition of recognizing the pas
tor’s services and activity as a tem
perance leader of his people by pay
ing his expenses to this convention.
As no church in any community will
want to be the only one which does
not show such appreciation of its
pastor and of the temperance issue,
and as the pastors will undoubted
ly come back with material for
freshlv inspiring ,the congregations
on the question, it is believed that
the action will be general, as it will
probably not, cost more than $25
to S3O on the average to cover all
expenses.
It is too early, of course, to pre
dict the numbqr who may go, but
we shall not be surprised to see at
least five hundred delegates, and
possibly more, representing every
county in the State.
This will be the first general
convention of the League ever held.
Pormerly only denominational
'bodies were represented in the con
ventions, which were small affairs.
This time, every church, Sunday
School, or Young People’s Society
and temperance organization in the
country is entitled to a delegate,and
the National League and the Ohio
State League, jointly, are planning
to entertain 20,000 delegates. The
convention is expected to ratify the
proposition for a national prohibi
v- . lion amendment as the next step in

I Good Stenogrsptier. '
Ten must be accurate. Stenogra
phy is built on accuracy. You must
have great power of concentration;
without that you will never master
the mechanical side of stenography
or develop the fundamental princi
ples of shorthand. You must be
neat. No employer of any standing
will send out letters daubed with
blots and blurs from erasing and
rewriting.
You must be a good speller and
grammarian, and have a fair know
ledge of English. If you cannot
spell correctly in writing longhand,
how much more confused ‘ you
become when you have to transcribe
stenographic ’ notes. Nor is there
t s me in a busy, office for you to
consult a dictionary.
You must be close-mouthed. The
stenographer of even a small and
unimportant firm is often entrusted
with secrets that hold success or
failure for the employer. If you
are the sort of a girl who simply
must tell someone everything you
know, don’t try to be a stenogra
pher.
You must have quickness of mind
and of movement. Without these
you will find it difficult to take er
ratic and sometimes almost inaudi
ble dictations without annoying your
employer by questions. You must
have good eyesight; or, if you have
any visual defect, it can be mini
mized by learning what is known as
the touch system, and using glasses
while at work. A stenographer uses
her eyes practically eight hours a
day.
o
Oystermen Make Reply
Hoopersville, Md.,May 20, 1913.
Editor of The Baoner:
Please allow us space in your val
uable paper to reply to an interview
published in The Sun, under date of
May 12, of Mr. Carl Veach.of Hoop
ersville, Md., in regard to oyster
p’anting, etc.. In the surrounding
waters of Hooper’s Island.
We are very sorry that the re
porter of The Sun should have in
terviewed such a man as Mr.Veach
on this subject, owing to his entire
lack of experience, but if we are
correctly informed, Mr. Veach plac
ed himself in a very conspicuous po
sition In order to be interviewed on
this very important matter. We, as
oystermen, consider Mr. Carl Veach
a very poor authority, as he has
not been a resident of this county
for more than eight months. Prior
to his coming to Hooperville, he
waa employed 4n a shirt factory in
position of shell-wheeler in an oys
ter packing house, which constitutes
his entire experience in the oyster
business, and yet Mr. Veach pre
sumes, on this six or eight months’
experience, to criticise the actions
of the Governor and Coifaptroller of
the State of Maryland, the high
officials of our oyster navy, and the
practical oystermen of our district
and The State at large.
In hla article, Mr. Veach seemed
v tkeply concerned. A glance at the
charts on file at the Shellfish Com
mission’s office will show that Mr.
Veach’s fears are not groundless'
as he, himself, has applied for 60
acres for, himself and wife in one
of the best natural elumps (as he
terms them) in our waters, being in
the same locality that Capt. Ulman
White applied for —and in an inter
view with Capt. White today, he
proudly tells us that he has with
drawn his application, for, being a
practical oysterman, and in sympa
thy with the interests of the people,
h:s conscience condemns him, as he
considers it downright robbery of
the people’s rights, stating that he
has dredged from 50 to 75 bushels
of oysters per day from the very
bottom for which he had applied.
Mr. Veach takes pains to criti
cise the people amongst whom be
lives, who were making a living
by catching oysters on the bottom
for which he has applied, when he
was among the hills of Virglnia.har
vesting oak bark for a tannery,
cracking chestnuts, and treeing rac
coons in the back woods of the Al
leghany Mountains; and yet these
men, with years of experience, do
not presume to criticise the Legis
lature and the high officials of our
State. Truly, Solomon, with all his
wisdom, had nothing on Mr. Veach
for being the Original Wise Guy.
We do not criticise the action of
the Legislature in passing the plant
ing law, as all fair-thinking people
acknowledge that cultivation of the
barren bottoms means prosperity.
However, we do not favor the en
croachmeat on our natural rocks
and bars. Therefore, we are not
In harmony with the present sur
vey in our waters. We would have
the public know that we are law
abiding and God-fearing people. It
is to be regretted that Mr. Veach
is not acquainted well enough with
the prominent people of this State
to know that a portion of them
have risen from the ranks of “dis-
Baltimore, and last winter held the
gi untied oystermen,” as he terms
them. Therefore, as a body of oys
termen, we are not ashamed to pro
test against the hand of selfish
interests that we see in this, and
hold up for our God-given rights.
In his interview, Mr. Veach re
fers to an individual, whom he
claims has done more to build up
the Island than the combined ef
forts of others, being boycotted. We
will admit with Mr. Veach that this
one Individual to whom he refers
has been a benefit to this communi
ty, but the people have been a
far greater benefit to him, as a
view of his tax assessment and
bank account will show, since he
started im business at this place.
Yet, we do not condemn or envy his
prosperity, but are not in harmony
with his present attitude in regard
to leasing the natural oyster
grounds in these waters, and we
regret very much that part of this
disfavor was brought on by certain
acts of hie employees.
1m eweetuetoe, would say that.

Runaway Yesterday
A horse driven by Levyi Ma
nokey, colored, became frightened
yesterday afternoon, about 3 o’clock,
and ran away. The accident was
the result of the bridle bit break
ing and scaring him, and at the
same time, leaving the driver pow
erless either to control the direc
tion in which he should go, or to
stop it. The horse started run
ning at the gate of Mr. W. Lake
Robinson’s “Appleby” farm, and
continued until it was stopped in
the marshy land near “The Cedars,”
the home of Mrs. Mary Small, near
town.
Despite the fact that it ran for
a distance of more than two miles,
turning corners, meeting automo
biles, teams, etc., no damage was
done beyond the breaking of the
reins and the slight scare of Ma
nokey.

Although he may not realize it,
many a man is in luck because he
isn’t found out.

he didn’t eat all the good things

Told The Truth Once.
iSH||
An Illinois editor who became
j tired of wielding the whitewash in
the matter of obituaries, decided to
I reform and telj the truth just once.
He commented as follows upon the
death of a well-known citizen:
“Died. —Aged fifty-six years, six
months and thirteen days. Deceas
ed was a mild-mannered pirate,with
a mouth for whiskey and an eye
for booty. He came here in ' the
night with another man’s wife, and
joined the church at first chance-.
He owes us several dollars for
paper, a large meat bill, and you
could hear him pray six blocks. He
died singing, ‘Jesus Paid it All,’and
we think he*is right; he never paid
anything himself. He was buried in
an asbestos casket, and his many
friends threw palm leaf fans in his
grave, as he may need them. His
tombstone will be a favorite resting
place for hoot owls.”
o
Many a man rises in his own es
timation without really getting any j
nearer to the top.

help themselves to the things that
belong to other people.
