already known TO uien yersed i'm the

The alarm which this widespread
dishonesty has occasioned is the keen

Detection and punishment. although

Several OF the large banking insti-

that here i'm Roanoke there oxIsts a

bid defiance TO law and order and
who have no more terror OF police.
or the police court, than they have
OF shadow. These youngsters range
In age from six to rlfteen years, and
the police and police Justice have
exhausted every device known to the
law TO suhiugats them, without ef-
feet. They march In band over the
olty. stealing. robbing. destroying
property, and with boldness which
would put TO shame the most daring
hikhwayman. They have had sum

ter of fact some OF them have been
sent to the state rerormatory, but
their parents effected their release
only to return to the city to continue
thir shameful record.
II Is easy to- understand how such
boys can have sway OF the city with
out being amendable 20 the law, for
there Is little law to apply In such
cases These youngsters need a for

diiiicult TO foresee the ultimate out

every one OF them will commit some
crime which viii land them In the
state penitentiary, but In the mean
time the people Of the city must toll
crate their misdoingB until they have
reached that age whore they become
legally responsible. One evening this
week the youthful gang discovered
the basement OF one OF the churches
Of the city open for a church meeting

these youngsters had taken posses

them out but they refused TO go.

they left OF their own accord.
But the worst part about such
youthful cTiminRls having their lIb-

thing should be done 10 break up the
youthful gang. Hardly q day passes
but that they are heard from I'm some

the whole grain trade here lie NOV

Back of the present Weighing is
the certiAcation of the Merchants'
Exchange, which acts promptly
and inpartially in the interests OF
the parties concerned. To strike
down this system, universally
approved by shippers and dealers,
and substitute for it a strictly
political supervision, could easily
derange the grain interest and
drive shippers elsewhere, because
their faith in inspection and
weighing would be broken down,
or at least disturbed until restored
