MYSTERIOUSLY KILLED
in HIS OWN GARAGE
Atlantic City Police Investigating
Death of Wealthy Contractor.

ATLANTIC CITY. N j.. June 2s.-
Police officials are not altogether satis-
fed with the first theory that Randolph
Young, a wealthy contractor found dying
in his garage on North Ohio avenue,
late last night, was crushed to death by
an automobile truck. Young was pin
ioned between a truck with its machinery
in motion and the walls of the garage
when a neighbor discovered his fearful
plight after a single outcry. The as
sumption is that Young started the ma
chlnery and was hurled against the wall
when the truck jumped forward. He was
secretary of the Law Enforcement
League, which has been agltating the
suppression of all forms of Sunday
amusements, not excluding moving
pictures.

Messing that bloody spectacle. I
am going to refer to it today only
long enough to cite one thing which
shows hew the war spirit warps
the moral view of mankind, TO say
nothing of the loss of life and pro-
perty and the enormous cost of
carrying it on,
You probably read in the papers
within the past six months that,
in England, there were twenty
thousand unmarried girls who were
about to become mothers. These
girls have become known as war
brides. According to the newspa-
per accounts the England parlia-
ment passed a special act that the
children of these unmarried moth
GERS should be considered Legitimate
when born; and the government
made financial provision to take
care of these methers and their
children.
Now, we sometimes hear about
factory girl who, after a bitter
struggle to get along on an made
quate wage, gives way to tempta
tion and sacrifices her virtue for
some of the comforts of life. l am
not willing 10 admit that this hap
pens as often as some people claim,
but when it does happen society
brands such girl with disgrace.
Now, is there not something radi-
cally rotten with q moral condition
that puts the stigma of disgrace
upon the poor working girl who
loses her virtue in the struggle for
existence, and then put the badge
of honor upon the girl who gives
up her virtue to a soldier |
believe that purity is he brightest
gem that can bedeck the brow of
of weman, but if we are going to
discriminate these two, l think it
should lie in favor of the poor
working girl who loses her virtue
battling against the temptations of
life, rather than the girl who be
comes the willing victim of sol
dier's lust
Hundreds of millions of dollars
have been spent by the various ma
tions in the prosecution of this,
war and hundreds of millions more
will perhaps be spent. In the end
all that these nations will have to
show for this enormous expendi-
ture of money will be the unmarked
graves OF thousands of their best
physical manhood; thousands of
wives and mothers With crushed
and broken hearts, with nothing 10
look forward to but drcary and
hopeless future; and thov sands of
children bereft of 3 fathers care,
compelled to go to the workshops
in their tender years in order to
keep poverty from the door.
Just think what a great improve
ment could have been made If these
hundreds of millions of dollars had
been spent in an effort to improve
the social and industrial conditions
of these people. 1t would then
have been used to build up strong
physical manhood Instead of bring
ing destruction to the able bodied
men of the respective nations; and
instead of crushing and breaking
the hearts of the wives and mothers
it would have brought to them the
sunshine of happiness; and instead
of heavy burden of taxation max
ing the beacon of gloom and misery
they would have before them a flu
ture radiant with hope and with
the promise of a brighter, better
and happier day.
