According to Mr. Churchill's statement, New York

grade schools is that the salary only $3.50 and
reaches maximum of $500 at the end of 10 years.
Mr. Churchill contends with reason that it matters little

by woman or man. 1t is the next four years that

STRICT ENFORCEMENT
OF CURFfW ORDINANCE

Boys and girls under Is years of
age would better keep off the streets
after the prohibited hour, unless ac-
companied by adults, for Chief OF Po-
lice Parker says his department in
tends to enforce the curfew ordinance
quite vigorously. and he expresses
himself in the following language re-
garding the matter:
"As it is made the duty of the chief
of police to enforce the curfew ordi-
nance of this city. sha4i endeavor 10
the very best of my ability to do so.
I have frequently seen boys and girls
under 16 years of age on the streets,
in chilli parlors. noodle houses and
other places after the prohibited hour,
and no doubt in not a few of the cases
observed as we'll as numerous others
the results have been decidedly bad,
working to the very great harm of
those involved. The said ordinance
provides that no person under the age
of 16 is allowed on the streets, public
grounds or unoccupied lots in Boise

the hour Of Q p. m. during the months
of April, May, June. July August and
September, unless in company with q
parent or other adult, or is sent for
medicine, medical or other assistance in
case Of sickness or accident.
"The place for the child under 16
years of age after the hour stated for
each period is the home on all occa-
sions aside from those excepted in the
curfew ordinance, and parents and
guardians are largely responsible for
the whereabouts of their charges after
that hour. 1t should be the constant
effort of those having the care or Gus
tody Of children under the age stated
above to cooperate with the authori-
ties in their endeavors to safeguard
them and keep them out OF trouble.
The joint responsibility is vastly i'm
portant and should not on any ac-
count be overlooked. The boys and
girls Of Boise, especially those effect
ed by the ordinance in question, we
should be deeply concerned about and
strenuously endeavor to protect, for
they are the coming men and women of
this city.
The penalty for a violation of the
curfew ordinance may be any sum not
exceeding So and parents are subject
to arrest for any such violation"

ance OF my duties as a constable.
Some few days ago Mr.. CANCER started
an election suit against a poor family in
debted to him for nonpuyment Of rent. 1t
was my duty to serve the papers and to fore
IDLY move this family into the street.
When | called at the home I found con-
ditions there were pitiAble. The father was
without work and money. food was scarce,
and the family was not possessed Of too
much furniture. Above all the mother was
in delicate condition. and to have attempted
to move her under the circumstances might
have resulted in severe sickness. and pos
sibly death. refused to interfere with
them and would not think Of throwing them
out into the street. The father said he would
move as soon as he could, which he did in
due time.
! have always performed my duty as a
constable and will continue to do SO within
the law. But whenever I nnd such q case
wherein must compel poor family to move
out into the street in such besstly hot
weather, there to endang-r the life Of a
mother. ! will refrain from serving papers
and resign my position. It's too cold. blooded
a proposition. even for small rent bill.
am glad to submit a plain statement
of the facts as they existed so that the
public may pass candid opinion upon my
rction In the case as to whether or not
acted In a manner unbecoming 4 man and
