We often wonder why 1T is so
many young men can be soen loafingr
about our streets until late hour at
night. Many of them are from our
best homes. The fathers OF these
young men, many Of them at least,
are numbered among our best citi-
zens II their COW or horse, OF even
their favorite dog, was away from
home after dark they would be out
on search, but their own children
can roam the town all night WITH
apparently no effort being made to
find them. The boys seem to be
turned loose at tender age to
wander at Will into the paths of sin
and vice and then we wonder where
an on, tramps and worthless speci-
ms humanity come from. 1t is
a IeereLable fact that too many of
them come from good seed sown in a
careless manner upon our streets and
back alleys. Reader, is your boy
wasting his time upon our streets?
If so should you not, at least look
after him as carefully at nightfall as
you would your horse or COW? We
do not intimate that this evil exists
to a greater extent iE this communitv
than in our sister towns, but the
evil seems universal and increases in
magnitude as the years roll by.
