For several weeks quite a force of

There has been considerable talk of
late about man in this city not pro-
yiding for his family, and communica-
tions have been written to the local

tions will do any good, nor would the
White Cap theory be of much value.
as II Is well known that there Is a law
for man who does not provide for his
family, and in regard TO fining some of
these loafers, that is only myth, as
they have no money and could not pay
a fine. To send them to the county Jail
the economical commissioners make
kick and often let them out on
parole. While in the county Jail they
have no work and are we'll fed and
clothed This supposed punishment is
only a luxury for such men. and il is
easily TO see the law fails in making
the punishment severe enough TO teach
the vlolater lesson. But there is a
remedy, and one that would teach these
lazy men who will not support their
families. and also the class that have
no livelihood, lesson and set an ex-
ample. This remedy is a county work
house, which the county, every one
knows, is in great need of. Let the
citizens go after the county commits
sioners and push this workhouse. and
when the citizens get aroused they will
secure this need. and not until then.
The workhouse should be the cry, and
keep II up until il is secured.
