ZOE DECENCY IN TRAVEL.

The police made commendable beginning Of
the season on Sunday in arrestiug no fewer
than thirty-one young rufians and incipient
criminals who were outraging decency and act
ually imperilling lives on elevated railroad
trains. For years complaints have been increas-
ingly numerous and bitter of the rOwdyism Of
boys and young in public conveyances on
Sunday afternoons and evenings. Assaulting
passengers, insulting women. tearing and dirty
Ing the clothes of men and women, breaking
windows, putting ont lights and tampering with
train signals have been common practices, and
in some cases still worse acts have been com
mitted with impunity. 1t has scarcely been safe
for decent people to ride on the elevated trains
at certain hours of Sundays
In the great majority of cases these Young
rufians appear TO be baseball players or spec
fatOrs returning from games. They are among
those In whose behalf earnest appeals are period
ically made for such relaxation of the Sunday
laws as will permit them TO indulge I'm their inro
cent sports and healthful exercise. We have heard
heart touching accounts Of the way in which
they are cOOped up in city workshops all the
week and how much they need the chance TO
get out into the open air and on the green grass
for few hours on Sunday in order that the
Joyous spirits OF youth may not be altogether
repressed and stined. We have no doubt that
such appeals and representations are merited in
Nus AaJOE1y or cases. That is all the more rea-
soh for greater strictness In dealing with those
who shsw themselves unworthy Of such consid-
Grafton.
These brawleTs have, indeed, no possible ex-
cuse. Much may be forgiven to the natural
rOmpishness and hilarity Of youth and to the
ebuiiItiOns Of simply irrepressible animal sprite
but mot TO such things are these outbreaks duo
Tie brawlefs have had their day OF snort and
tuh, upon which to eKpend their merrymakinr
energies At the end OF it they should have the
GecEncy 20 behave with some regard for the
comfort and safety % others. The fact is. no
doubt. that in the majority Of cases OF
such dlsorder the young rufians deliber.
ateiy plan in advance to make themselves
as much OF a nuisance as possible to the
other passengers. They organize their rowdy
ism as pHrpOsely as they organize theiP games
We need not say that with inadequate Gccom
mOdations and Overcrowded cars conditions OF
public tuavel in this city are at best not en-
urely creditable 10 civilization. Et Is intoIer
able that they should be wantonly made less
comfortable and less safe. For the sake of the
travelling public and for the sake Of Sunday
pleasure seekers who h@ve selfrcspect aud re

THE SPRINGFIELD (oHIoJ RIOTS.

The grand jury recently sitting in Springfield.
Ohio, has handed in presentment which should
do much TO awaken that town to a sense of its
civic responsibilities Negro hunting Is a sport
which does not commend itself to all the resi-
dents of Clark County, and a tender regard on
the part Of officials for the white men who
burn and destroy the habitatiOns Of the colOred
residents Of the town receives a severe and
merited rebuke. If the grand jury is not mis-
taken Springfield would be greatly benefited by
change Of officials, from Mayor and District
Attorney down to the humblest policemen. The
Mayor might have stopped the rlOting in its
inception If ne had ordered out the local mill
TN promptly. He is presented for ''inexcusable
hardness" and "ridicuIOusly feeble efforts -
The Sheriff exhibited such evidences of in
competency as to render his important office
ridiculous in the estimation of the public
For District Attorney Springfield needs "a man
OF experience and ability" who is absolutely
fearless and keenly alert in the prosecution OF
criminals, thereby maintaining a wholesome
respect for law" By implication Springfield
has not such one. The police are condemned
by name and in detail and dismissals and re-
auctions in rank are recommended. In general
IL IS said OF the force that 1t was "reprehensi-
'Dly passive evidencing an unmistakable alb
sence or any desire or vigorous effort toward
The Identification or arrest of the active mar
uclpants OF the mob" There is more to the
same effect, and the whole is to the credit and
hOnOr OF the grand jury. Its work results only
IN preSentment, for the reason that official
neglect, reprehensibIe passivity or sympathy
with the white mob, simply because It was
white, left the grand jury utterly without evil
dence connecting any man with two days' riot
Ing and large destruction of property.
Official incompetence seems to be the cause
OF contempt Of law in Springfield. ''The News. :"
of that city, not an administration paper. COM
menting on the presentment, calls the Sheriff,
Billy" AlmOny, "a pretty good sort of fellow
whom every one was glad to see get the office
but 'Billy'S' best friends never accused him of
being competent" Mayor Todd is described
by the same authority as "a kindly disposed old
gentleman" Neither of them seems to be equal
TO handling the ruffianly mobs that are giving
Springfield an evil reputation. They are typical
OF the officials who make race rioting and
ynching q crying evil-gOod fellows liked by
the boys," with a constitutional objection TO
real bullets, passion for blank cartridges and
such an adherence for the shedding of the
blood of any Of their white constituents that
they would see all the laws violated rather
than one riOter brought to a timely end Laws
are not self-enfOrcing, and where there is re-
peated riOtng, as in Springfield, look for the
weak and incompetent executive. If Won NAV
not indict whole community you may at least
present all its officials

SCHOOL REPORTS.
In Them Is Found Good Argument For
Amendment No. 8.
County Examiner, W. H. Watkins.D


The annual report of each
board of school di rectors in the
Southern District Of Sharp Coun-
ty reached me in time to be filed
Monday, July %, This is good
record. | am now serving my
fourth term as county examiner
OF this and an adjoining county,
and the directors this time have
responded more readily than ever
before. | think this is a good
sign. have seen directors act
as if they did not care whether
the children in their district re-
ceived their share OF the State
apportionment or not.
Many interesting items have
been reported. l believe, how
ever, that the most interesting is
the fact that, out of As districts
reporting to this office, only eight
report more money from district
tax than from State apportion-
ment. These eight are 7, 10, 24,
90, 81, ga, So, and 76. Districts
80, 81, 81, and 76 have 80, 80, "A,
and 80 pupils respectively. So
it is easily seen why they do not
get much from the state. Dis
tricts 10 and "a are two Of the
richest towns in the county, and
it is readily seen why they have
a large district tax. | suppose
districts 7 and 65 are rich coun-
try districts, comparatively
speaking.
Say, is it not plain that we
need to vote for the proposed
amendment, and thereby add 80
per cent to the income from the
State tax without necessarily in
creasing our taxes? 1t will not
necessarily increase our taxes,
because we can vote down our
district tax and tn hereby pay the
sane we have paid before; but
nine districts out of ten will get
more money than before, because
they are not as rich on an aver
age as is the State.
