J Wliv Do Three Times as Many Boys Go Wrong in Kansas? J. K. Codding, warden of the Kansas penitentiary, lays the blame on “The Little Alley Joints” that exist all over Kansas, where, he'says, men and boys congregate night after night to play poker, shoot craps, and indulge in debauchery. [See the warden’* report on page 43 of the Proceeding* of the Kan*a* Conference of Charitle* and Correctlona, held at Lawrence, Kaunas, November, 1915*] Judge Roy T. Osborne, of Independence, Kansas On page 13 ol the name report, says: “In the little more than ten years the juvenile court has been estab lished in Kansas, children under sixteen years of age, in this, state, have committed practically every crime in the calendar, including murder in the first degree. * * * ft is astounding to observe the absolute indifference of many parents to the moral welfare of their offspring. * * * In nearly every community there are places and forms of amusement unwholesome for children.” * * * M. G. McKenzie, Chaplain of the Reformatory in Kansas Says on page 59 ol the First Biennial Report, Kansas State Board of Cor. rectionsi “Of these boys, 202 acknowledged they drank more or less; 275 used tobacco, 77 gambled. Most of these boys ran around considerable, and were away from home. when they got into trouble; 265 were from homes broken by death or divorce.” * * * THE ALLEY JOINT in Kansas is the corrupting in fluence that lands so many Kansas hoys in the Re formatory and Industrial School.
