DREADFUL JOY RIDING.

The other day out in Los Angeles,
Cal. a young woman was discovered in
an automobile on the rear seat uncon-
scious in a dreadful condition. The
story is too horrible for details in these
columns. The machine was. at last
tracked to its owner. and finally to the
white rapist, who affirmed that he was
a graduate of Michigan university. The
young woman's sister rode for awhile
during this night joy ride on the seat
with the driver. But she alighted at her
home, and her sister remained in the
car to be drugged. piled with liquor and
at last abandoned in an insensible con-
dition A dozen bottles of beer and q
quantity of whisky were also left in the
car. So much for California joy riding
Attention is called TO this circum-
stance to induce the readers of The
Semi-Weekly Journal TO advise their
young friends or maybe volatile COM
panions. TO give up this so-called Joy
riding after night.
IL is a pretty safe proposition to an
tagonize the habit of taking young wom-
en- out I'm the dark to rfde all night or
until the deluded victim is ready for
hospital attendance in Georgia as wei
as in California And the graduate Of
Michigan university ought TO have a
dose Of tar and feathers and another joy
ride on a rail Down south. the lynch
ing of black rapists has been continu-
ously denounced by people in other lati-
tudes. and it is aIterrible remedy for a
more terrible crime, but the graduate
of Michigan university ought to have
a penalty inflicted on him that would
make him forsake. joy riding with help
