It. For yrs and yrs past brillyunt
writers has been writing about
Capitol & L.aber"- they have
wrote pages & pages and vollums
& vollums and yet what is the re
suit, we aslk7
The result is that in spite of all
t11st has been wrote & said and
did concerning Capitol & Laber
we know less about it today than
we ever did which amt saying
n1utrh being as we didn't never
know not11ink about it in the first

thort it would be a good idee to
dash off 4 eddytoriul on this in

Capitol & Laber" IL = terrible

laber there wouldn't be no capitol
and if it wasn't for capitol why
there wouldn't be no wise versa, 50
there you are. In other words
one is independent of tother as
you might say and yet if it was
sent for both there wouldn't be
neither. We hope we have made
ourself clear to them of our read
ers who flatters theirselfs that
they possess signs Of almost
human intel1igents.
Capitol tries to get laber to work
for as near nothink Is possible
while all laber asks for is 4 eight
hour day and ersaf wages to pay
the rent & other necessities of life
and the privilege to strike If il
lean think Of ennythink else that il
would like to have.

Ieven at the risk of being criticised
and havink our readers disagree
with US which we. don't care il
they do, that capitol is all right

A. everybuddy knows the Deacon
has ! red Jersey bull which enjoys .
reputation of being crosa Only two
wlks ago that bull chased Hank Dew
berry outen breath as he was crossing
the Deacons pastchure where the bull
il kept and would of gored him into
the ground If h had of leetched him.
Thursday p. m. it was turrible hot
90 the Deacon who was bilding stone
fence knocked off work about z o'clock
and went across to Hen Weathersbys
store to Get in the shade on the front
piaxxer with some of his nabers and
VISIT and smoke and engage in sosfial
intercourse.
Well the Deacon passed the time
very pleasant for \ cupp1e Of hours
or 20 then he started home. A he
was passing along the pastchure where
the red bull was confined he notised
that there was bad break in the fence
90 he thort he would repair same ut
onct. So he went right home and got
! hammer & some nails and being rs
it was still t1rrible hot he TUX off his

Then the Deacon set ont acrost the
pastchure never thinlkin of the bull
which wassent in sight until he got
most half way aerost the pastchure
when he heerd terrible beller befint
him and looking around blamed If
there diddent come the bull full tilt
for him with its head down and its
tail in the air and bellering ~ threat

At first the Deacon was parrylised
with fear. He couldn't turn back be-
in9 Is the bull would ketch him before
he got to the fence and if he went
ahead it would ke4ch him before he
reached the fence on tother side. He
was in : awful perdick1ment and that
bull comm for him like mad.
An to onct the Deacon spied big

Why do boys go wrong? We never
have stopped to think much about it,
have we? That old saying boys will
be boys has made us a little care
less, am afraid, and until they get
into serious difficulty with the law we
never wonder if they are being train
ed properly, but Just gloss over their
little escapades.
Yesterday, however, l learned from
one of the best authorities on the
subject, big Brother" Tom Scully,
judge of the Boys Court, what are
some of the principal reasons why
boys go wrong.
had taken one of my friends to
the court, a mother of two boys, and
she had told the judge she would like
to bring her oldest son there to visit
some day so that he might see how
the law dealt with boys who were
considered guilty of misdemeanOTs.
''My sons are good boys" she said
proudly, "bUt l think it is well for
them to have this knowledge. 1t may
save them from any future unpleas-
ant experience"
Proper home training will save
them from that" Judge ScullY re-
sponded. "In my childhood and
doubtless in yours there were no
juvenile courts nor boys courts.
There wasn't a need of them. We
didn't hear of boys running wild, as
they do today.
"And mothers gave all of their time
to the proper raising Of their chill
dren. They did not spend it going to
card parties and matinees and teas,
as some of them do today.
There are boys brought into this
court, sons of business men in many
cases, brought in for some trouble
with a girl or for being drunk, and
their parents seem to think nothing

bring in boys of 8 and 10 years, and
say to the Judge: 4 have no control
over my boy. 1 cannot make him
obey
Boys of 16 and over will come into
this court who haven't an idea of
what an oath is. They have never
had any religious training.
And then, of course, there are the
boys who never had a chance. There
are lots of those. People live such
selfish lives. They don't know and
many of them do not care how their
neighbors are living.

cause I cannot help feeling when
see money spent for rare foods and
rare wines how many, many families
are starving and how many boys that
money that is wasted would help to-
ward a splendid manhood.
eve ought to get back to the sim
pie life, to the time when boys who
had homes to stay in remained at
home with the family and didn't run
around to poolrOOms and dance halls.
There are boys who come into
this court that astonish me. That
bridegroom burglar, who held up a
woman in an Office building, was one
of the most hardened boys I have
seen. He was absolutely Indifferent
to the magnitude of the thing he had
done. He seemed to think it was part
of days play to hold a gun to some
ones head. Like going into a moving
picture show.
'This idea that it is necessary for
a boy to be wild, that it is to be ex-
pected of him and there is something
wrong with him if he isn't wild, is all
wrong. I didn't have escapades in
my boyhood l would have been
afraid to have them"
