the line was announced by the Standard
Oil companies last week. 1t costs more
to run several companies than one and
the people of course must pay for it.
1t is doubtful if you will ever see gaso-
line at 10 cents per gallon again and
the chances are there will be still an
other advance before many weeks.

Following the store robbery and
shooting of policeman in Cleveland
by boy, infamed by stories Of Wild
West life and highwaymen, council
man Of that city has introduced an or
dinance prohibiting the sale Of trashy
and immoral books to the youth.
| There should be such legislation in
! every city, says the Ohio State Journal.
We spend millions to educate boy
right; why not do something to keep
him from being educated wrong? We
have laws to prevent people from pois-
oning their bodies, why not regula-
ton to restrain them from poisoning
their minds? To give a boy book
that will make highwayman of him
is black offense that should not be-
permitted. II is an attack on society
that society should not tolerate We
are greatly excited upon the question
what schoolbooks shall be furnished tho
children. We should be a great dea
more excited upon the question ot
keeping harmful books away from
them Ordinances are needed for thi
purpose. There is vast amount o.
bad citizenship made by bad books, an,
there are stacks Of bad boys. tx.
