The Rapid Journal reports a tough lot
of boys in that place, who take par.icu
lar delight in breaking windows, while
they do not hesitate to destroy other
property Of greater value. The Journal
says it is no probable that the boys of
that place are worse than those of other
places but attributes their acts of van
dalism to the fact of their not being
restrained by the officials as they are in
most places. That paper further says,
it is bad enough to allow boys to act
like vandals on the 3lst of October, but
to permit them to keep it up during the
rest of the year is not good enforcement
of law. and that IL parents do not control
their children, the officials should step
in. There is being much complaint in
this direction all over the state of late,
and 1t would be a wise proceeding oil
the part of town officials to undertake at
once, the enforcement of the law against
acts of vandalism even should the acts
be committed on the night Of October
3lst, which are no more justifable than
they would be upon any other day or
night in the year. Halloween is being
perverted into n of the most intoler
able nuisances that has ever been in
ficted upon q patient aud much abused
