Mr.. EDrroR:-Nearly all OF us have
been compelled to experience the
annoying impudence and i'll breed
ing of certain lot OF grown up
young men and boys who at the
close OF the exercises infest the hall
ways leading from. and the side
walk Immediately in front OF some of
our churches and public halls. Their
object. of course, is to make an ex-
hibition OF their smartness by laugh
ing. slanging each other, staring in
the faces Of the passers and making
general pests OF themselves.
Would it not be well enough for
some of our public speakers to enter
tain their audiences occasionally by
injecting into their speeche as few
suggestions on this subject OF man
ners generally? Is our city marshal
doing his whole duty when he allows
a mob Of this kind to constantly in
suit public gatherings In this way?
Does not the law not only permit him,
but make 1t his imperative duty, to
take sufficient force OF assistance
and proceed to. club and kick into the
street all such Ill bred and heathenish
characters? III the law does not re-
quire it Of him why does not the city
council proceed to enact an ordi-
nance authorizing a general stam-
peding Of all such herds of loafers
Or, II this conduct is not a violation
Of law or etiquette. why do not the
managers OF our public meetings. at
the close, give them a fairer show by
requesting the female portion OF the
audience. at least, to remain seated
until after the hoodlums have located
themselves, and commenced their
sucffiing. pushing, slanging. etc?
And. besides, would not the respecta-
BILE portion of the audience better
appreciate their staring. gaping and
general vulgarity by such an ar
rangement?
