The Morals of the Poor.
Durham Herald.

Durham Herald.
They are now afraid that the NOV
ing picture shows will have a demor-
alizing effect upon. the poor people OF
the cities. Itperhaps does not occur
to them that the poor are as likely
to discriminate in the nature of their
amusement as are those with more
money. 1t is not the poor who are
keeping the divorce courts busy and
it is not the poor who are furnishing
court scandals that are not fit to
print. So far as morals are con-
eerned the poor can perhaps look
out for themselves.
