Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1874-02-11


doubt Of our convictions touching what
we ale to say, following. We are want
ing in confidence as to our acceptability
as a moral guide, philosopher and friend;
but we know that Carson street breeds
hoodlums as fast as the Barbary Coast
of San Francisco. Who's to blame
That s the question. The maternal and
paternal instinct, and the self excusatiye
instinct of the hoodlum's big brother
and sister lay it to the rum shops and
the gambling house and the too plenti-
full basnios. We think that this is beg
ging the question. Hood!unism IS
merely the new name for r0wdyism,
vicious boyhood. youthful dep.avity.
It is like calling the toothache neural gia.
It comes of sparing the rod. That's.
mainly, whats the matter. People are
afraid to be as strict with tLeir children
as justice to the children demands.
Some idiot or association OF idiots has
injected the notion into their heads that
the rod, vel! laid on, breaks the lad 5
spirit. Fudge, A blis:ered b-tt-m is
better than stretched neck. The road
20 the Devil lies, largely, through the
shades of night. You may let the best
boy in the country have full swing Of his
evenings and liberty to roam TIE streets
at night, and as that Missouri preacher
said of the man who had baekslid for
the third time-''its COED bye John"
