AN EPITAPH--HE DIED a CONVICT

Cardenio F. King was the original
Of Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford, immor-
talized in story by an American novel
ist and dramatized into fame by
George M. Conan.
He was country boy, born on a
stony North Carolina farm. He be-
came a printer-a newspaper cor
RESPONDENT.
He drifted out in the big world and
saw big men and big things.
He became a promoter and float
er of bubbles.
He launched great enterprises, and
all his enterprises we're bubbles. !.
Gold poured into his Golfers. He
spent 1t like lord.
Men believed in him.
Believing in him, they gave him
their money for investment.
He floated newspaper and oil prop
ositions in Texas; all bubbles.
His head was high in the heavens.
His feet never touched the earth.
He was a Napoleon of finance in
New York and a Monte Cristo CAPT
talist in Boston. This was after he
launched newspaper at Fort Worth
and became an oil king in Texas in
q field where there was no oil
He amazed men with his daring
and dazzled men with his promises.
He was Colonel Mulberry Sellers
one day and Monte Cristo the next.
His audacity won the plaudits of the
mob. His winning personality, the
smiles of money nabobs.
He played every game of chance
that was worth the while, and float
ed bubbles on sea and on land.
There came panic one day and
his dupes lost millions.
He was caught in the meshes of the
law and the jury found him guilty
and sentenced him to a term OF
servitude in penal cell.
HE DIED A CONVICT.
What an epitaph for one of the
most daring floaters of bubbles and
financial butterflies of his time.
1t isn't safe to play with other
mems money.
It isn't safe to cross the danger
line OF the law.
1t isn't safe to lure into a net the
querdons of society.
1t is better to play the game ac
cording to the rules.
1t is better to be poor and honest
than to be rich and dishonest
1t is better to keep ones feet or
the ground
It is only short journey from the
cradle to the grave.
Ill-gotten gains fly away like the

bubbles that Cardinio F. King floated
from coast to coast and from Canada
to Mexico.
A poor man may have his load to
carry, but he never wears stripes.
There may be rocks in the road to
bruise his feet, but he will not die a
convict.
There may be thorns everywhere
for him, but there are roses as well.

POLICE MATRON
WRITES ARTICLE
MISS IRMA ERWIN, FARGO Po-
LICE MATRoN, AUTHOR OF AR
TlcLE ON WHY WOMEN POLICE?
PUBLISHED IN OCTOBER NUM-
Der OF THE BUTTERFLY.

In O. recent issue Of The Butterfly,
a magazine published ain the interests
of humanity" by The Butterfly Asso-
citation Of Chicago, there appears an
article by Miss Irma Erwin, Fargo's
police woman. on the subject. Why
Women Police? This Is a subject
which is engaging the minds Of a
great many people at the present
time, and in the following article Miss
Erwin sets forth the reasons Why she
considers women police a necessary
factor Of the police organizations of
every city. The article runs:
Those who have thought about this
new place for women in the law-en-
forcing body of the city all give about
the same reasons for the need OF Wom-
Ssaaa, police. The forward looking citi-
zen in every city hopes to raise the
standard and the status OF the police
force to which he must look for pro-
and his community morality. Women
would surely have some influence on
the elevation of this standard, and in
protection they have a definite share.
It is generally conceded that women
should be given power over that part
of a city's life which has to do espe-
cially with its youth-the city's great
est asset.
There are ONE who are doing
much in juvenile work now as truant
officers, probation officers. Investigate
ors. and in many other places con-
nected with courts. and
But why should not women like these
be used by the city rather than by
private organizations, n be given
r,a1;,oa rr,ya . +. TFF %hayy q ra trained FOR
the work and given the necessary au-
thority, they can surely deal all the
more successfully with situations
which need this added power. There
should be women police in places OF
public amusement to protect he boys
and girls who throng there. When we
fully realize that the big majority OF
this endless throng get their only
ideas of social enjoyment from these
public amusement centers. it behooves
us to make these places as desirable
as possible. They surely must not
be places where modesty is outraged
and moral tendencies blunted ano
deadened.
There is the evil work of the white
where youth congregates. But there
is also the necessity for raising the
moral tone and atmosphere SO that u
will be hard for this monster to Ply
his trade. Good women, using police
power when necessary for decisive
action or for protection. can do much
In changing habits Of familiarity AND
immodesty to those of Formally anc
decency, whether 1t be in the parks
dance halls, theatres, or on ths
streets. Girls, as a rule, want to be
decent and prefer to be modest. but
their holder associates, and many
eviI-rninded adults have established
their rude social code for them. They

so they are powerless to escape the
fragrant or hidden in~decencies which
present themselves. We all agree that
nothing can take the place of good
home training. but since many are
lacking this, it Is the business of So
ciety to offer the best possible subst1-
tute. And surely a city is called to-
answer every day for it's negligence
in the protection of youth and the
adequacy OF the substitute.
Boys and girls unmothered by their
mothers u have someone who will
supply that need . This someone must
inspire and hold confidence, n be
one on whose sincerity they can fear
lessly rely. These public chaperones
have the double duty Of protecting
youth from itself as well as from It's
environment. They must elevate
ideals of amusement by demanding
sobriety, self-control in speech and
least, of formality. To accomplish
this task of protection and elevation,
they must have the power of person
atty backed by the indisputable pow
er of a police officer. We all need di-
~rection, and the women can help.

It seems that above all else we need

| force is not so high as it might be,
but a correction of that alone would
not bring about the desired end. We
certainly need. also, a better under
standing of the needs of both ends of
the social order, in our citizenship
body. Women must understand all
womankind and it's needs, or who
will? Until women learn to stand to-
gether, to work together, and to con
quer the a%ntipathy between those Of o
side, there will continue to exist the
double standard Of morality n the
social evil and the exploitation of
: youth.
, If there be any truth in the state
ment of one of life's u~nfortunates,
that 'men send women, to- the bad,
but women keep them there, let us
by all mean put women, good wom-
en-, in the courts, on the police force,
and in public places where they will
learn the conditions under which their
weaker sisters struggle. Then when
they have learned they will help those

claiming the gospel of Tive and let
