pared to reset rail ties when the Shriners'
train, running ut high rate Of speed,
passed over the weakened track and was
wrecked. The section foreman had

TUESDAY EVENING. MAY 81, 1907

THE matter of ''guides" is one which
those in authority should set upon at an
early date. At present there are at
least half a hundred boys, white and
colored, from twelve years of age up
ward. who hsve constituted themselves
"guides." and for consideration offer to
pilot strangers through the city ard
show them The points Of interest. These
H,nides" beset the street corners whtr,
the electric trains stop and offer their
services TO those who alight from the
cars. This they do in a boisterous and
frequently 10 8 most unseemly manner,
and when their offers are declined they
become insolent. frequently, too, these
n0uides" in considerable numbers will
follow and ieer party ofexcurslonistS
who happen to be passing through the
streets and 10 other ways annoy these
strangers. These ''guides" should be
kept of the atreets by the police. They
are no credit to themselves or to the
city; .heir place is in school. A city
official recently in speaking of this nuis-
ance to the writer of this article Sug-
gested that guides should be licensed
and that only reputable and well te'
havel persons be granted such licensee.
The suge estion is a good one.
