THE CASE OF ADELE BoAs.

THE CASE OF ADELE BOAS.
The case of Adele Boas. the New
York girl who ran away from a good
home to make her own way in the
world, has two or three lessons. Her
disappearance alarmed not only her
parents and friends. but all the resi-
dents of the district in which she
uyed A reward of $4,000 for infor-
nation was offered by her father,
and, the police, believing that she
had been kidnapped warned people
generally that it was unsafe to allow
their children 20 walk the streets
alone even in daylight. Parents
throughout the city were alarmed and
a newspaper discussion as to the best
way of making the streets safe had
begun, when Adele resolved TO return
home she had gone to Boston, secur-
ed a position in a restaurant at $3.50
week, and even that she had lost
by dismissal for awKwardness after a
few hours of service She had spent
most OF the money that she took
with her when she resolved to return
home and had a most difficult time
dodging the police and other persons
who We're looking for her in hope of
claiming the teward.
The first of the lessons is that a
money reward is a powerful incentive
to search for a missing person. The
second is that the ideas often enter
tanned by young people that they can
easily earn their own way in the
world are idle dreams, and a third is
that the safeguards thrown around
girls who are seeking to support
! themselves are inadequate and offer
the widest opportunity to the cor
Irupters of youth. What would have
befallen Adele Boas, if she had not
had the home from which she ran
away to crafty whim? The ques-
tion is all the more distressing be-
cause it is certain that the things
which rhe escaped in her three-day
excursion are overwhelming scores OF

SWEET SENTIMENT

If some cold-nearted individual
tells you that the day of sentiment
has passed, do not believe it. Under
the broadcloth coat and the soft silk
en- gown, under the worimans jacket
and the Immaculate shirt waist of the
tailor-made girl. the heart may beat
as warm and as true as in the old
days.
1t is a coward who is afraid OF
sentiment.
Sentiment does not mean sentiment
tality, for the fist is the genuine,
the second the counterfeit or the
over-drawn idea of the first. Recently.
in Dayton, a woman lost a fortune
when her home was entered and her
jewels carried away by a bold, bad
burglar. The woman did not mourn
the loss of the sparkling gems or the
simmer of pure gold. In one plain
little locket was a curl of soft, white
hair-her mothers hair IT was to
recover that locket that every effort
was bent Forgotten was the glitter
of the diamonds, valueless seemed
the lost bracelets, rings and orna-
ments
But the little ringlet of silver hair
became priceless to the owner, and
her one wish is that it may be re-
turned
1t is to be hoped that the Dayton
woman will recover all her jewels
for she is evidently woman of deep
feeling and earnest purpose. The
thief, should he read the papers
would certainly be man enough al
heart to return the locket, even If hl
kept the remainder of the spoils.
No sentiment is not dead, and we
see 1t often wnere least expected

GREAT TRUST IS
BRANDED AS A SNEAK.

There is universal contempt for the
sneak The boy who displays petty
meannesses, the thief who stoops to
pocket picking, the corporation which
sinks and grovels in dishonesty, are
alike held up to public scorn. There
is an element almost of respect in
ones feeling for a lawbreaker who
shows daring. originality or great
mental keenness in his crime; but for
a sneak, contempt

The LAST FLING

of the state have been given the inn
'pression that ea,h Marion man is go
ing around with a revolver on each
hip, knife in his teeth and a bed

to lynch. The truth of the matter Ia
that no Marion man has ever made
an attempt to lynch anybody, neither
has he seen a man who was even
talking about lynching Marion
people may be made of the stuff OF
which mobs are made and they may
only be waiting for the opportunity
to burst forth ald overule the courts,
but, as yet, they have given no
evidence of sucn smouldering flames
Mr., Curry was in no danger when he
was spirited away TO Delaware on the
night Of the affair west Of town, he
would at no time since have been in
danger mad he been walking the
streets OF Marion. he was in no dam
ger when the verdict of the jury was
announced and he is now perfectly
safe.
Marion people have not lost con-
tidence in the courts They may have
had it shaken a few times, but not
to the extent hat they are willing
to let go and trust no mob law or
no law. Marion people are as law
abiding as the common run of people
OF course they may wobble a little
in some instano IS, but they are not
ready to subs itute mob law, just
because some court ruling may not
be strictly in line with their concep,
ton of justice. It is time now to for
get the Jackson killing and the Curry
trial and it is time for those who
pretend to chronicle events in and
about Marion TO have some regard
for the truth when sending out ac-
counts at three dollars per column.
