At the annual banquet of tbe Iowa Hu
mane society at the Bavery hotel the
Juvenile court law was declared worthless
by Judge W. H. McHenry of the Polk
county district bench. The Judge went
further and declared that after a carefjil
consideration h was convinced that the
men who framed the law were deficient in
intelligence. That a Juvenile court law is
very desirable be was convinced hut
thought the present law framed and passed
at tne last lerialatur was a mass of mean
ingless phrases which could not be carried
into execution because no mtans were nr-
vided. It is probable that at the mxt
session of the legislature the law win be
amended so as to provide lor an appro
priation. Those back of the measure at
