snbject that deserves the serious
thought of every citiz n and particularly
every parent in the land
Might it not be well to call halt in
the way Of reading SO much light liter
ature and so many trashy papers, and
go back, to some degree at least to good
standard books and ar: icles Of solid val
ne published by leading magazines :?
One trouble with the most enterpriSing
daiies IS this (: They gather up and
publish, in detail, accounts of all the
murders, suicides, and rascality in gen.
eral, and in their descriptions throw a
sort Of enchantment abOnt the affair
that captivates many whose minds may
he running, at the time, on the proba-
Bile determination of committing a
crime somewhat similar and the de-
tails given serve as an easy lesson to
the commission Of that particular class
of crime. If mere prosaic paragraph,
giving the hard ia a;ts only, were pub
lished, without being accompanied by
the glamor of romance, it would have a
tendency to discourage murders, sui
cides, robbers, sc. We're the papers
to say merely for instance "On the
18th inst, John Jones was murdered
by low semi -lunatic nomad, who was
imprisoned and Will be promptly hung
privately, within few days, "and then,
after the hanging, merely announce
that lie was hung, and say no more a
bout it, that would put a damper on
the commission of such crimes. Noto-
riety in some cases, is sought for even
| at the risk of q neck rnnA for nothing
