inasmuch as a certain class Of church
goers in this city haven't sufficient respect
for themselves or others to properly be-
have while in Gods sanctuary, the con-
stituted authorities of the several
churches in town certainly owe it to the
well-behaved and orderly portions OF
their con gregations and to their ministers
to see that the hoodlums are suppressed.
If they are incompetent to do this, they
can easily obtain the needed assistance of
The constituted legal authorities. In the
iiame of common decency let us have an
Improvement on the existing order OF
things.
