after the burial of Mrs. Bradley they
will talk over their future course, but
they are still adamant in their de-
termination that they will keep little
Lena Swift, aged 3 years, who was
willed to their care by Mrs. Bradley.
In fact, they are throwing every
precaution about their treatment of
the child. A nurse, who is devoted to
the child and who knows strangers in.
Washington, is constantly caring for
the baby and is seeing to it that no
untoward conduct of anyone shall in
terpose.
That kidnapping is feared there is
no doubt, but what the Wendells are
expecting is a habeas corpus proceed
ing in the District of Columbia SUI
preme Court on the part of the father,
Thomas Swift, to gain custody of the
child. They find that the decisions
of the court in this regard are some
what against them, the policy Of the
courts being to give a child to the
nearest of blood kin in such cases
where the nearest in kin can show
! that they are the proper person to
have custody of the child and are able
! to provide comfort and education.
1t developed to-day that the Wen
dells would have friends and in le-
gal battle for custody of the child
they will have all of the financial aid
that they may desire. because the
| Wendells in Indiana are prominent
| people and have become interested in
| the lot that has come to the Wendells
| in Washington In having the beauti-
| full little charge thrust upon them.
Despite Mrs. Swift's large acquaint-
| ances among stage folk of Mrs. Brad
! ley, none were present at the funeral
but two floral offerings were sent by
stage folk in Washington, with whom
| Mrs. Bradley had been associated,
though here she had lived the quiet
life of an invalid. her only thought
! being of her child.

>bo,ist,ine Segregated Districts.

The authorities of Petersburg have ordered
tho closing OF the segregated district. havsfig
reached the decision that there Is no more rea-
son why the laws against vice shall be permitted
10 go unenforced than that any other set of laws
shall go unenforced
Either these laws, which State laws,
should be enforced, they should be repealed
and on whom the responsibility rests
of enforcing these laws has the right to permit
their violation if he prevent 1t. and he owes
it to the state to undertake. with all the power
at his command. enforce these laws. Taey
have been enforced in all parts of the country,
wherever in fact attempt has sincerely been
made to enforce them.
These laws are not enforced In stanton, but
in law-abiding a community as stanton all
that is necessary to instruct the chief of police
to enforce them. and let the chief of police see
that he means what he says, and in twenty-four
hours the disreputable class in Staunton will be
hunting other fields. Reduced to it's last
analysis II would simply be question of en-
forcing the laws finding chief and new
patromen. We feel confident it would not be
necessary to find new a chief, as
of them has shown desire to separate
himself from the job.
Why should not the segregated district in
Staunton be permanently abolished? This is a
question that ought to be asked by the decent
people of Staunton until satisfactory answer
lis given,Staunton Leader.
