A Word to PdrdntS.

The attention of fathers and mothers
is called to the deplorable conditions
which obtain in this city as far as young
girls are concerned. On Wednesday,
Saturday and Sunday nights when the
weather is fair, young girls not out Of their
teens and many of them in short dresses
can be seen wandering up and down
Main street flirting with whomsoever
they can, talking loud and otherwise mis-
behaving, What WatertOwn needs the
most at the present time, is watchfulness
upon the part Of parents over their girls.
know were they are and how they spend
their evenings with whom, but best of
all is to see that they are at home in
stead of gadding the street, catching
On and eventually getting into trouble to
mortify you and ruin your child for life.
AS we have said before no young man
of worth and high ideals, wants gadder
and the other kind, those who hang
around the corners smoke cigaIeett are
not worth fifty cents ton except, for
ferteliZing purposes. Every little while
we hear Of some unfortunate girl who
can be traced to street walking
night. when she should have been at
home. Who is to blame? The parents
who should have exercised loving super
vision over their daughters. The min
listers in the city should denounce from
the pulpit the practice and admonish
parents to be more watchful over the
life. conduct and moral welfare of their
girls-and also their sons. -"
Pictures of genius loafers have been
taken, a sample of which can be seen in
the windows of the building at the cor
ner of West Main and North Water streets
in the store room below the Gazette Office.
The city Art Association should have the
pictures enlarged and hang up over the
city.

STEEL TRUST DIssoLvING.

II is a pity to see that our harsh.
relentless legislation is about to COM
! pei tho dissolution Of the philanthropic
patriotic Steel Trust Dispatches from
New York indicate that the Steel Trust
is really contemplating dissolution; that
by the advice of counsel, IL has actually
come 10 the conclusion that il is an
illegal trust. What hardship it is to
have God.fcaring, patriotic. country
saving institution like the Steel Trust
put out of existence by cruel and OPP
pressive lawsl
We have the word of Col Roose-
welt TO the point that il was the Steel
Trust and the manipulators who gave
il birth. that saved he counry in the
great panic Of 1907 Col. Roosevelt
not only promptly assured the mauipu.
Iators of that financial benevolcnce at
the time, that they might not only pro-
ceed without any danger of prosecu-
tion for violation of law but that they
were entitled TO the thanks OF the coun-
try and the gratitude of the people for
coming 70 the rescue of a peri lous
financial situation. Recently, in his
testimony before the House investigat-
ing committee, Col, Roosevelt gloried in
his great deed of saving the country
and E'stopping the panic Of 1907 by
allowing the Steel Trust to have its
way and to absorb the great obstacle IT
found i'll the way of completing its COM
bination, in taking in the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Company. Col. Roose'
welt not only said that the movement
for forming the Steel Trust at that
time was a signal patriotic benefit, but
that he considered himself a great pub
lie benefactor in assuring the trust that
it would not be molested in its viola
tions of the law if only it would come
TO the rescue and save the financial
situation by stopping the panic. AS
matter of fact, the panic continued
just tho same and was not stopped
by the Steel Trust, nor by Col Roose-
welt. On the contrary the panic got
worse and worse in spite Of the cheer
fnl trust manipulation, and of (then)
President Roosevelt 3 assurance of i'm
munity TO that trust for it's lawbreak.
ing.
Still, when President of the United
States assures the country, on his faith
and honor, that this Steel Trust was
benevolent, patriotic instrument
which saved immcasurable and iuesti
mable disaster but a short four years
ago, surely it is a hard heart which
would keep the eye dry in contemplat-
ing the dissolution Of such d patriotic,
beneficial organization as the Steel
Trust 1t goes into dissolution because
the law compels il TO do so, and this
in defiance of the tremendous bene-
fits which it has conferred upon the
country, upon the public, and upon the
Roosevelt administration. Surely
floods of tears are due at the demise
of this sympathetic, humane. and al
together admirable trust. Col Roosevelt
will doubtless go into mourning for at
least thirty days; and if he were Pres
ident he would presumably issue an or
der for the firing Of requiem guns over
