THE BOY AND HIS COMPANIONS.
In all the country- there Ik probably
no man who understands the boy bet
ter than JudKe Hen Lindsay, of Den
ver. The enviable record which this
father of city boys has made is a
sufficient warrant of authority for
whatever he utters pertaining to the
boy's training, and to the duty of
others toward him. When Judge
Lindsay says, therefore, that in the
cast* of the average boy of wayward
inclinations, who has parents living,
the fault lies with the parents rather
than with the boy. we are bound to
believe that the statement is true.
For Judge Lindsay is a man who has
observed these things beyond ordinary
men. and he knows.

This is Just what Judge Lindsay
dot's say in a recent article on "The
Boy anil Mis Companions." "There
are two kinds of companiouship for
children." says the judge. "One. of
course, is in the juvenile world with
their churns and playmates. The
other is in that new world into which
they are growing This latter should
be with their parents. If there be
no parents it should be with someone
who can take that place. Companion
ship ? comradeship ? begets mutual In
terest anil confidence. The evils that
sometimes come from companionship
among children would b<- avoided in
nearly every i asc if it was offset by
the other kind of companionship
which should exist with parents or
those who sustain that relationship
to the child. If every l>oy could talk
as ft^elv to his father, for instance,
as he talks to his chum, the father
would know just as milch about his
boy as the chum knows: but unless
there be perfect companionship be
tween father and son. the father is
apt to know little about his boy."
Of course this is homely preach
ment. and on a trite subject. There
are doubtless hundreds of fathers
who will read it. or who have
read It. to whom it will
;tppeal as an axiom hardly worth
repeating Uut it should not be dis
missed carelessly by any parent. II
fits in admirably and logically with
the complaint heard so frequently of
late; that too much responsibility in
the rearing of children is shifted to
the schools; and that the tendency is
toward the school training rathet
than toward the home training.
A great many of us are accustomed
to think that the boys who turn out
dismally as men are the boys from
homes beset by poverty, or the boys
whom we say are from the streets.
A little reflection will convince an>
observant person that such is not the
fact: that the so-called respectable
home contributes more than its fair
share to the ranks of wayward youth
who graduate to crime. Respectablt
negligence has more to answer for
than the other; and it Is the respect
able conscience that Judge Lindse}
seeks to arouse ? Portland Telegram
LYNCH LAW STILL RIFE.
A record of lynchlngs has beer
kept by the New York Times. Thif
shows that from 1S82 to 1901. the an
nual lynchlngs in the 1'nited State^
have been considerably over lOo a
year, ranging from as low as 107 ir
1899 to 23'. In 1892.
Since 1901. with two exceptions. to
wit. 1908 and last year the lynching!
have beeh considerably below 100. Ir
1907 there were only fifty-one. bul
last year they jumped to 100. Of
ttese. ninety -seven were committed
in the south and ninety-three of th?
persons lynched were negroes
Lynch law in not so (treat a re
proach to the United States as It has
been in the past, but in still disgrace
ful enough to call for further educa
tion in good morals as a means of re
pressing this wholly American crime
in those states where it still dis
graces the fair name of these 1'nited
States. ? Seattle P.-I.
