Those people who claim that they
know the parties that are wilfully
damaging private property about town
should give such information as is in
their possession to the police authori
ties and see what effect a dose in the
police court will have upon people who
make practice of that kind of busi-
ness. It is true that private individ-
uals are opposed to going into court
when the offenders are their neigh
bors' children, but there is a limit to
what people should be expected to put
up with and it looks as If the limit
has been reached during the past few
days in more than one place. If this
business is allowed to go on without
someone being punished it will lead to
something worse than the destruction
of private property.
