most disgusting thing in the world is a
drunken youth.
As matter OF fact, there ought to
be some sort Of curfew law in this town
to compel boys under q years Of age
to be home before midnight
This probably sounds extreme to you,
but if you had worked for few years
on a morning newspaper what you would
see would convince you that something
OF this sort might be good method Of
keeping young boys straight.
Therea re too many prize fight clubs in
Memphis As a matter OF fact, one
club would be one too many. The fight
ers themselves do not create much trou-
BILE, but they are usually attended by
large crowd Of hangers-on who are
yagrants, who would not hesitate to
steal or hold up or to do any unlawful
thing that will get them money.
Some OF the picture shows also need
a little attention In one of them re-
Gently white slave was pictured. The
suggestions we're salacious and the whole
thing was bad.
It would be a good thing if Mr. Riech-
man would have veteran policeman,
some one like Chief Davis, or Perry, or
Condor, to make tour Of these shows

Straight Talk for Memphis.

The lawbreakers received distinci
shock last week when, in spite OF the
jury's recommendation for mercy,
Judge Edgington sentenced man to be
hanged on charge of numbering wo-
man.
Probably the most surprised man is
the defendant himself.
He was 'rounder. " He was ON
speaking terms with a number Of police
officers. He wrote letters to some OF
them. He never has done much honest
work in his life. His everyday life was
violation of the law. He lived with
out work, and secured money from the
woman, whose occupation was thing
worse than death. And because this
woman did not give him all the money
he required, he is charged with murder
ing her.
This mans case will be appealed to
the Supreme Court. We have no pur-
pose of commenting on it one way or the
other. If the Supreme Court decides
there is an element Of doubt in the case,
it will be solved in the young mans
favor.
The result Of this trial came as a tonic
in this town, credit to the Attorney
Generals Office, to the judges and the
jury.
1t would be good thing to make this
Fitzgerald verdict a starting point for a
general checking up in this town.
There are gamblers in Memphis who
are not content with their own nefarious
way of making living. 1t is charged
that several Of them have been preying
upon young girls. This charge ought
to be investigated to the bottom, and if
the men are caught, the law-enforcing
officers should make the fight OF their
lives to convict them.
There are young and old loafers in
this town who hang around the streets
and ogle women. Women are often
compelled by their work to remain in
offices or stores after nightfall, and they
cannot walk two blocks without being
by some OF these wretches.
A few nights ago, about half dozen

PROBABLY WILL DIE.

Miss Light is in a critical condition
and the hospital attendants are not
sanguine Of her recovery At first it was
thought the fireman was not seriously
injured This was due to the fact that
he bore up brayely, never complaining
and insisted that the nurses give their
attention TO other victims OF the disaster.
More careful examination Of his person
revealed the fact that he was injured in
ternally and his burns extensive. His
death is momentarily looked for.
Relatives and friends of the Utica dead
are at the morgue in Phillipsburg, n.
j., where the fragmentary remains Of
the victims we're taken last night. Every
effort is being made TO arrive az identifi-
cation, but the remains are in such con-

the recovered parts will be placed in one
casket and there will be one funeral.
