tie notice, and none of the guilty
have been caught. Last night two
little girls, aged 10 and IA years,
were seen passing Fitzgerald's saloon
ON Washington avenue and twentieth
street, crying. Several men on the
sidewalk saw them: Constable Fuller
asked them why they were crying
and they said they had been insuited
by couple of young negroes at
Nineteenth and Washington. They
were told to walk back that way and
the officer and two companions fol-
lowed them. At Nineteenth street
they came upon the same two fel.
lows: the girls pointed them out and
they were arrested and taken toI
jail.
The Bulletin realizes that We have
not large enough police force; it
has contended all along that we need
more men. But this fact only en-
phasizes protest against police
policy by the force that we have,
which for years has recognized the
vicious element in the community as
the controlling element in the city
and which more than
any other influence, is to blame for
the boIdness of these cattle.

RED IN THE FACE

In explanation of its failure to give
even the merest hint OF the affair at
Dick Taylor's dive Saturday after
noon the evening contemporary says
The Citizen declined to give sup
port to the present administration in
April just because such affairs as the
very esteemed Bulletin speaks of now
were allowed To go unchecked ia
Cairo The very esteemed Bulletin
saw no reason for "A protest at the
polls against such affairs II Rich

cution of any evil doer? They hare
found protests at the head of the

Bulletin expect by getting red in the

plish anything in Cairo?'

contemporary assurance that it ode

official record as mayor of Cairo hal

police government. as that of the Par
sons administration has been, with
out any Of the latter's rcdeemilg OF

There was no double dealing in the
attitude of The Bulletin toward Mayor
Parscus and the public in the recent
electioa Neither The Bulletin nor any
of its readers who supported hin
were misled-all would do the SAINT
thing again under the same circum
stances. This paper gave the mayor
and its readers plainly to understand
: repeatedly and forcibly. that it did not
like his police policy and that il sup
ported him in spite of that, believing
that IL had been and would he no
worse than might be reasonably ex
pected from his opponent, and that
the good which had come TO the PEG
pie from his administration greatly
outweighed the evil The Bulletin de
clared then. and pledged itself to thu
public. that il would not fail to criti
else and denounce anything in his fu
ture administration that called fol
such treatment, and it is trying tc
keep that pledge.

Season for CanteLoupes
Is NoB Practically Ended

The watermelon and cantaloupe sea-
sons have practically ended. There will
be struggling shipments of each through
the remainder Of this month. but the
bulk of them has ceased.
About the only cantaloupes that will
be received from now will be Rocky
Fords from Colorado. The watermelons.
principally, will be of the home grown
variety. and those raised along river
points. As far as quality goes, conclud-
ing shipments of both kinds Of melons
promise to be of a high order.
The present season, from the con-
sumer's standpoint, has been one of the
best ever known for watermelOns and
cantaloupes. Both have been plentiful.
and, considering the early drought, have
been OF unusual quality, so that there
has been a constant demand FOR them.
The later crop of watermelons prom
ises to be even better than the first and
the Rocky FOrds now reaching the mar
kets are selling almost at a premium.
Fortunately, demand for the melons
seems to be declining in exactly the
same ratio as supply is diminishing, so
that. in all probability, the market will
not be burdened with surplus supply.
Indications are that the season will be
one of the most evenly timed. as far

mand is concerned. of any ever known
