ROOSEVELT MANIA.

Down in Oklahoma at the republi-

young woman at Il Hammond hotel.
All three of the young men were hab-H
itual loafers in one OF the shady pool
rooms about the city.
No. man who values his reputation
would be seen loafng in certain pool
rooms in the city. no man with even
the remnant of self respect would
throw himself away for the sake of a
common prostitute. no man who val
ued his name would spend his time in
idleness even though he was temper
arily out of work.
Idleness, immortality. intemper-
ence spelled ruin in the case of three
Hammond young men who today might
be an honor to the fathers who reared
them and the community which sup
ported them.
Others are following in the same
footsteps. The lesson taught the
whole community. by the careers of
these young men, will soon be for
gotten and doubtless others, faced by
similar circumstances, will take the
easiest way out. which is always
the hardest in the end
These young men were beyond par
entail control, so the problem becomes
one of closer supervising shady pool
rooms and questionable hotels.
When Bianch Adair decided there
We're easier ways OF earning a living
than clerking in store, she probably
did not realize that she was a poten.

three men would be ruined by hel
course.

his point of view. A course of actor
that is impossible today becomes pos
sible tomorrow and probable the mex

THE VAMPIRE.

Yesterday three Hammond young
men stood up before the judge in the
Lake superior court and received indie
terminate sentences to the reformatory
at Jacksonville.
These young men did not have the
appearance of criminals, not one of
them had ever been arrested before.
The antecedents of two of them we're

The third has a dissolute sister and
brother who is under parole to the
truant officer. The parents are repu-
ted to be decent, law-abiding people
and there is no accounting for the de-
generacy of their progeny
The question naturally arises,
What combination of circumstances

cushioned deep with needles. He took
advantage of these great natural re-
