WHY YOUNG MEN GO WRONG.

Why Young Men Go Wrong is subject
that is being widely discussed in the east
just now and Judge O'Sullivan attributes the
cause of SO many young men going wrong
to:
A lack of religious or moral instructions
in the schools
Reduced wages which have deprived par
ents and their children of former comforts
and luxuries.
A disinc1ination on the part of young men
to work, partly because of their having been
spoiled at home and partly because of their
own realization of the inadequacy of the
wages they will get in the trades.
Bad associations on the streets at night.
All of the above statements are undeniable
causes that lead young men to commit
crime, but to Our mind there is still another
that the Judge did not enumerate and it is
the get rich spirit on the part of the Ameri-
cans, which leads the young man with lucta
tive employment to try to live like man
with a million at his command Americans
are money mad and that drives not only
young men, but old men to commit crime to
get the money.

A MUNICIPAL TELEPHONE.

In advocating municipal telephone sys-
tenn for Seattle there is no disposition on the
part Of the Seattle Republican to punish the
Sunset Telephone Company for either fan
cied or real grievances, but because it is
business proposition for the people. The
Sunset is a business proposition for the
stockholders of that company and each
month they are reaping their rewards at the
expense of the people. On the other hand
a municipal telephone system will do no one
an injustice, but will be an ever lasting bene-
fit a we'll as a great financial as
set to the whole community. So far as this
paper is concerned it has always opposed
the dual telephone system in Seattle and
never consented to use the Independent, but
years of experience has convinced us that
the telephone system of community like
the light and water system, should be owned
lighting system of Seattle been in honest
hands-in hands that would have pushed it
as would private enterprise been pushed
the city would today be getting greater re-
turns from its lighting system than from its
water system, and that is saying good deal.
Less the corns of some private enterprise be
tread upon even at this time those having
charge'of the city lighting plant refuse to
put a solicitor out or give the plant line
of publicity in the newspapers which, if done,
would result in twice as many contracts be-
ing made than are now on file. So also
would municipal telephone system put in
honest hands in six months time have more
patrons than both the systems now operated
in Seattle. The people are being bled by
private corporate greed for every necessity
and they themselves can remedy the evils
and if they themselves do not do it then
they are fit only for slaves.

CURREN6 COMMENT

of the publishers of weekly papers of the
county met in Kent last Saturday and after
talking the matter over went into a tempor-
ary organization, with ]. D. Dean chairman
and H. R. Cayton secretary and treasurer.
After an hours consultation they adjourned
for two weeks and will meet in the George
town Hall Saturday, November rs, at l
o'clock
If but twenty out of the twenty
seven weekly papers of the county affiliate
with the organization and do SO with earn
estness and zeal, there will soon be
marked Improvement in the general condl-
ton OF the weekly press of King County.
With an organization working in perfect
harmony the weekly press will be more in
Auential in the county than any one OF the
metropolitan papers and will even make both
Of them look to their laurels.
Why would it not be more profitable for
advertisers to deal with number of papers
in the various parts of the county than with
a daily, the most of whose readers are per-
sons who do little else than scan the head
lines. It is safe to say that twenty weekly
papers of King County can be selected which
have a reading patronage of between 100000
and 100000 each week and advertisements
wisely gotten up and placed in their columns
would get more publicity than any of the
dailies could possibly give it and at the same
time cost the advertiser less than half what
it would cost in the daily. This, Of course,
does not apply to bargain day advertisers,
but to legitimate advertisement, such as
great many business concerns seek to get.

night was the initial effort of the mem
bers OF the Lewistown Typographical
Union in social way, but if their
debut into the social whirl is any cri-
terion, last nights event will certainly
call for return engagement. Wheth-

ance with the secrets of advertising or
other causes, the local printers pulled
Off easily the best dance of the season

TRUE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT WAS
EVERYWHERE IN EVIDENCE
IN THIS CITY.
AT sCHURCHES SUNDAY
Knights TempIar at Presbyterian
Church-The Christmas Trees.
Many Reunions and Social Enter
tainments Marked Christmas Day
The Rush at the Postoffice.

1t was white Christmas and a
merry one in Lewistown. Never be-
fore has the true Christmas spirit
been more in evidence and it pervaded
the whole city. The religious OBJ
servance Of the day came on Sunday,
when services were held at all the
churches except the Episcopal, which
is without rector. The knights
Templar marched in body from the
temple to the Presbyterian church at
II O'Clock, turning out in their hand
some and striking uniforms. The SER
mon of Rev. E. w. Wright was an elo-
quent one and here as elsewhere there
was special Christmas music.
Rev. E. L. White preached the
Christmas sermon at the Methodist
church, Rev. A. L. VanSlyke at the
Christian church, DR.. T. M. Patter-
son at the Baptist church. Father
Van den Brock officiated at the Cath
olic church Sunday and Monday, as
sisted by Father ROGUE, and Monday
morning Father Van den Brock went
to Kendall to hold services.
Yesterday afternoon English Luz
theran services were held at the Pres
byterian church by Rev. Paul E.
Meyer.
The Christmas trees and exercises
for the children were held at most of
the churches Sunday evening. The
exercises for the Presbyterian Sunday
school will be held tonight
A. Postotfice.
Senders Of presents timed their
gifts for Lewistown friends more ac-
curately this year than last, and up
to Friday night Postmaster Albert
Pfaus was inclined to think that the
total Of the holiday business this sea-
son was going to run considerably be-
hind last year. Beginning with Friday
night, however, the mails were very
large and the total stands as a record
for the Lewistown office. Facilities
for handling the mail are better now
than ever and there is little confusion
attending the rush.
The express company also did an
immense business. The bulk of the
packages arrived Saturday night and
Sunday afternoon and the distribu
ton went on all day yesterday.
Family Gatherings.
1t was in the family circle that the
real celebration of the great day was
held. There was feasting, family re-
unions and exchange of gifts every
where and the special effort seemed
to be to make the little ones under
stand that Christmas was their day.
Business was, Of course, complete
ly suspended yesterday. The windup
OF the Christmas shopping came Sat
urday and the amount of it proved
conclusively that the vast majority of
the buyers do not belong to the ranks
of the 'early shoppers" The stores
were crowded Saturday afternoon and
in the evening most of them were
jammed with customers.
II was truly a merry Christmas,
presaging a happy New Year.
