"1 had never thought .there was
such a thing W friendship in
the world," declared Henry
Bellar, 18 years old, who had
the privilege of sentencing him-
self In the federal court after
he had pleaded guilty to robbery
and denounced the reformatory
system as It exists today.
Justice J. Warren Davis, af-
ter the young man had made a
speech to the court, told the
youth to suggest his own sen-
tence. The boy, facing ten years
In jail, suggested one year, but
the court made it two and young
Bellar said he was satisfied.
"I am no first offender." Bel-
lar said. "1 have probably had
a hand In as much crime as any
boy in the country, yet, ycu
would find. If you had me ex-
amined, that I am not a criminal
at heart. 1 am just as moral as
the average boy.
"Why. then, have I committed
thes£ crimes; why am I at 18
facing a long term In a federal
prison? My answer is that the
very Institutions of which this
court Is a part have driven me to
a lift? of crime. I have spent all
but two years of my life since I
was 9 vears old In Institutions,
so-called reformatory Institu-
tions.

verting sincere. <>f reclaiming the
i fallen who have con&rioubly entered
a life of sin. have not been making
i the mistake of paying too little at-
1 tention to methods of prevention, by
I implanting the germs of truth and
j justice In the hearts and minds of
our boys and girls, befote tempta-
tions to evil have entered the por-
j tals. "The boy is father to the man."
"A# the twig is hent, the tree is in-

, should be kept constantly In mind by
I those who become responsible for
the destinies of the young.
Would It not be useful to ask our-
selves the question, whether the
: world is growing better or worse?
Ami if we may perhaps—and most of
us honestly—answer that the world
is growing better, and point to many
1 slfens which seem to support our
j view, yet we must be constrained to
admit, that progress in the upward
! direction has been slow—dlstreaslng-

be much less than half what these
experimenting counties had to pay.
Also the Oklahoman fails to make
allowance for the difference in the
cost of labor and superintendence
for a single isolated experiment, and
the cost for the state at large. Again
the Oklahoman artfully ignores the
fact that all these county roads are
eighteen feet wide and assumes that
the state road will be of that width,
when it knows that the general sen-
timent of the legislature when fram-
ing the bill was that few roads would
be over 12 feet wide.
Again, the Oklahoman fails to
make allowance for tire fact that the
state will not be compelled to pur-
chase any material at all, but can es-
tablish plants ih this state at places
where material is fdund in abun-
dance, and manufacture its own road
material, and also that such action
was contemplated and is expected by
the e worthy and public spirited
legislators, who brought forth this
bill through great labor and persw*
verance. When the state establishes
its plant; these cement trusts, and
.tone trusts, and sand and gravel
trust# will put down prices, so that
the state can possibly afford to buy,
and let its plants remain idle. Even
in that case, the plants for material
would be a good Investment.

Field Marshal Hindenburg and Army
Staf'i Observed the Birthday of
the Former Kaiser.
From a report of the Cus?**! All-
g-meine Zeitung, as cited In the Vos-
S'Che Zeitung, it appears that, despite
all denials, the ex-kaiser's birthday
was celebrated at the Germany army
headquarters. The journal says that
Marshal von Hindenburg referred to
the ex-kalser as follows:
"Even people of different views j
would consider It cowardice and dis-
loyalty if we should hesitate to admit
frankly that we are thinking today j
with love, gratitude, reverence and j
great sorrow of the kaiser, to whom
we have hitherto devoted our lives and
our actions, and for whom we were 1
ever ready to stake oirr blood aud our
treasure for the welfare of the father-
land. May God bless him and give
him strength to bear the heavy bur-!
den which God's inscrutable will has i
placed upon him. Let us drink a si- ;
lent toast to his health with this sin-
cere wish from our loyal hearts."

Another thing, that is very en-
couraging, after tsueh a pessimistic
dose from the Oklahoman, is the in-
formation we have that all those
counties, including Oklahoma county,
are satisfied with their experiment
and enthusiastic for the bill. That
