SHOULD GO TO SCHOOL.
There Would be Less Crime If Boys
We're Forced to Do SO.

Judge Wilcox is an advocate Of the
policy that boys should go to school
and stay there until they have reached
the statutory age when they are per-
mitted to go out into the world and
seek their living. Were this practice
carried out and no temptations thrown
in the way of the youngsters who are
prone to play truant. he says the Re-
form School would not open its doors so
often 10 let them in.
The Judge lays the blame to their in
creasing penchant for shooting craps,
or I'll and their great desire to fol-
low ice wagons on their delivery tours.
On Saturday, Willie lincoln and Man
vel Costa were given sentences to the
Reform School. The first received three
years and the second two years. There
was weeping and wailing when the boys
heard they were to be incarcerated in
the school, but as the parents claimed
they WE'RE incorrigib1e. the Judge was
inexorabIe. Two other boys, David Ke-
au and Kulua, were reprimanded and
allowed to go home with their parents
David was employed by the ice man to
deliver frigid blocks at the munificent
salary OF 10 cents per day. Kulua was
an expert crap-shooter.

|OBJECT TO TRUCKS
ON FORT STREET
Merchants Complain They are
a Serious Menace to Life
and Property.

Merchants on Fort street are coma
planning of the numerous drivers of big
drays and cunbrous wagons who per-
sist in making use of that street during
the busy hours of the day. E. A. Nc
Inerny states that at times these waSE
one obstruct travel at his corner, Fort
and Merchant streets, to such an extent
that the lives of many persons, espec-
tally ladies and children, are endan-
gered.
He is of the opinion that Fort street
should be essentially a shopping street,
where ladies can drive their own We
hicles and feel secure from being
crashed into by heavier vehicles. Mr.
! McInerny says that the driver of
wagon loaded heavily with lumber and
long poles fully forty feet in length had
considera BILE difficulty in making his
way up the street. Half way between
King and Merchant streets he was met
by a large dray loaded with hay bales.
| When the two neared each other an
obstruction had to be avoided in the
shape of a light buggy. and for several
minutes the drivers almost lost their
heads. Two or three ladies in carriages
Z, lost their heads as we'll, and had any
of the animals taken fright at that in
slant, Mr.. McInerny believes it would
have resulted in tragedy. With the
introduction of electric cars on For
street the difficulties Of horse manage
ment will be increased. There IS po-
lice regulation which prohibits the use
of Fort street by drays and other heavy
wagons which seems more honored II
the breach than the observance. 1t Il
probable that concerted action will b.
taken shortly by Fort street merchant
to have such vehicles ruled
street during business hours.
