WHEN THE KID NEEDS
KILLING INSTEAD OF NEWS

There are few days in any news
paper Office when some one does not
call in behalf Of either himself or a
friend to beg the suppression Of some
story of disgrace. 1t is usually stated
that the favor is not asked for the
delinquent but to save his mother,
wife, sister or daughter from the
humiliation of publicity. Newspapers
as rule weaken before such appeals,
unless the story is of a kind that de-
fies Killing" so that great deal of
"cussedness" is kept under cover. We
have often thought that newspapers
which so weaken fail in their duty.
II is proper not only that the guilty
should be punished but that the public
should be appraised of their guilt and
put on guard against them. Also, a
rigid policy Of such publicity, we
think, would do much toward deter
ring others from the commission Of
such offenses.
On this subject under the caption
"On Account Of His Mother the

mother" And the Gazette, being
long-suffering, generally shows a re-
spect for the boys mother that the
boy himself does not show, and grants
the request.
"It takes a lot of nerve for a man
or boy to ask newspaper to with
hold his name in connection with a
police court story, because the person
who makes the request virtually adj
mits that he expects the paper to
show respect that he lacks.
Getting into police court and stay
ing out Of police court is optional with
most persons. But until the end of
time, white-livered individuals who
get in will crawl to the newspaper
offices and ask others to respect

in police court, show that they do not

Dissertation on the Duck

A little school girl in Michigan has
written the following esay on the
duck:
"The duck is a low, heavy-set bird.
He is a mighty poor singer having a
coarse voice caused by getting so
many frogs in his neck and he likes
the water and carries toy balloon
in his stomach to keep from sinking
the duck has only two legs and they
are set so far back on his running
gears by, nature that they come pretty
near missing his body some ducks
when they get big curls on their tails
are called brakes and don't have to
set or hatch and eat everything in
sight if | were to be duck l would
rather be drake they have wide
bill like they use it for spade they
walk like a drunk man they bounce
and jump about from side to side If
you scare them they will flap their
wings and try to make pass at sing
ing"

The Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon of the Colorado
is small scratch on the earth's sur
face made by Nature to show man
what an insignificant insect he is. 1t
is 100 miles long, 13 miles wide and
5000 feet deep. Viewed from Mars,
it would look like a wrinkle on the
face of Nature. Viewed from the
brink, it is so awe-inspiring that even
Commercial Travellers look at it in
silence, and famous writers claw
hopelessly for adequate adjectives.
The Grand Canyon was made by
the Colorado river about the time
the mother-in-law joke was invented.
The Colorado is not large stream,
but it has always been very busy.
It has eaten its way through mile
of sandstone and thousand feet Of
granite and has produced a chasm
filled with weird temples Of red, yell
low, white and black rock, 5000 feet
high. 1t is estimated that it has
taken to accomplish this enough horse
power to light boulevard between
here and the moon. One can always
tell a power magnate by the way he
weeps when he sees the canyon,
The Grand Canyon runs through
a vast desert and begins without
warning. At any point for a hundred
miles. It would be possible for the
casual wonderer to step of Of the
United States and to starve to death
before he got through falling. This
shows the wisdom Of Nature. Had
she placed the Canyon near New
York, 100000 people year would
fall into it, while in its present posi-
ton it does not need to be fenced at
all. However, owing to its isolated
position, the Canyon does not draw
nearly as much tourist Patronage as
Niagara Falls, Mt Vesuvius, Uncle
Joe Cannon and other natural pheno-
mena. More people see Coney Island
in a night than see Grand Canyon in
a year This is partly what is the
matter with New York.
The Canyon is located in Arizona,
65 miles away from the nearest drug
store, and Is already in the hands Of
a trust, there being only one railroad
to it. II Is so vast that thunder
storms not only rage in it while the
spectator watches them from above,
but sometimes they wander off and
get lost in the side canyons. Its
grandeur is heightened by the fact
that not single sign adorns its
walls. In spite Of the unparalleled
opportunity to announce the virtues
of soaps and soups in letters half a
mile high, no sign painter with nerve
enough to tackle the job has been
found. There is only one trail to the
water below-the Bright Angel trail,
named for the people who have fall
en- off; and by mounting burro the
tourist can find himself in two hours
in a scene of utter desolation which
has never been penetrated by the
automobile, the book agent, the pia-
nola, the hobble skirt, the tariff ques-
ton or the senatorial scandal. Many
tourist have taken this spot for Para
disc and have had to be removed by
force.
The Grand Canyon is the greatest
natural curiosity in existence, and it
is a comfort to reflect that no mat
ter what man may do to it, or how
long he may keep on doing it, the
results will only be visible through
a strong glass. 1t is one thing in
the world that is too big to be abused.

Brooklyn. Oct. 1O-BiH Carrfgan tried
a dangerous experiment this afternoon
and 1t cost his Red Sox the third game
of the world series. Bill sent Mays to
the mound in the hope that his subway
delivery would baffle the Dodgers, and
the BrookIynites promptly maced It for
four runs and seven hits which gave
them the battle by a count of to s.
Living up to their never say die repu-
tation, the red-hosed warriors from Bos-
ton tried gamely and desperately to over
come the handicap, but they fell one run
short. It was a ball game featured by
plainly of clean hitting and devoid of
any really glaring errors; a contest that
was won by the Dodgers because they
outbatted their rivals and outplayed
them.
And now the series count is Red Sox,
2; Dodgers, l, with the Dodgers thorough
ly recovered from their initial nervous
ness; with the clansmen of c. Hercules
Ebbets back on earth again and play
ing the kind Of baseball that lifted them
to the crest Of the National League. 1t
looked like the Red Sox to win in four
out of five, at the most. after that first
miserable exhibition in Boston, with the
qualification IF the Dodgers don't get
hold Of themselves Immediately"
But they've made that clutch, those
Dodgers; they are playing now like world
series veterans. They have come to rea-
ltLe that titular combat Is not one whit
different than any other-and they are
playing 1t that way. Best of all, from
the Brooklyn viewpoint, is the fact that
Jacobus Daubert, premier swatsmith of
the outfit, recovered his batting vision
this afternoon which augurs well for the
Dodgers in future games.
But the defeat must not reflect on the

their fighting spirit, or their superb
ability. They went down to defeat be-
cause their leader put in a pitcher who
began to wobble Immediately and who

to remain long after 1t was to be seen
that the Dodgers had him measured for
a severe walloping. If any one individual

Dear Editor
When l was a little boy
! always wanted to quit school
And go to work.
And 1 must have been crazy.
Or something.
Because wanted to be
druggist.
And my father
Had friend,
And he owned a drug store.
And one day
He told me
He'd got me a Job
With the druggist.
And the next Monday
I went to work
At o'clock
In the, morning
And swept up the store.
And after that
The rest of the day
They'd keep me
In the back of the store
Washing bottles
And cleaning goo
Out of little jars
where they'd mixed things.
And for a week
l did that
Every day.
And I'd cry nights,
And I wanted to quit.
But I'd been so anxious
To go to work
and to be a druggist
I didn't dare holler.
Till the second Monday
When the druggist sent me
With a veterinary
Who was going to see
A sick COW.
And ii was my lob
To hold the cows tongue.
And I couldn't.
It kept slipping
Out Of my fingers.
And 1t made me sick.
And I quit
And went back to my father
And told him
I'd quit my job.
And he laughed,
And sent me to school.
And ever since then
I've hated work.
And I'm telling you this
So you'll understand
That when 1 told you
I wanted to go
To the worlds series I meant 1t.
And 1 thought I'd like It,
But I don't
Everywhere I go
There's a band
Playing "Tessie."
And George McManus,
And Charlie Van Loan.
And when I'm in Boston
They won't let me sleep
And I'm sick
And I want to stay home,
II you'll let me.
I thank you.
