Americans fondness for chewing
gum, but we are assured that they

spread of the habit is purely a
triumph OF natural weakness and

THE CHILD THAT RUNS AROUND
NIGHTS
Duluth, Mimi, HeraldD.

Duluth, Mimi, Herald).
There was a piece in the paper
the other evening saying that the
humane society wants a bill for
bidding children under II to attend
the movies unless accompanied by
their elders.
The idea is that children of that
age ought not TO be out nights alone,
and that some of them make tho
movies the excuse for being out
sometimes when they are not at the
movies at all.
There is no question whatever
that young children ought to be
home nights-that if they do so out
their elders ought to be with them,
or at least absolutely sure where
they are and what they are doing
But would barring them from the
movies accomplish this? 1t might.
unhappily. drive them 10 worse
places.
I.
one ignores the real source Of blame
and that is the home and the par
ents.
Everybody who has to do with
juvenile delinquency knows that
children go wrong usually because
they have careless parents who let
them out nights without knowing
where they are and what they are
doing, and so permit them TO stray
into temptation which is always in
wait for unguarded and undirected
childhood.
When a child goes wrong because
il has been allowed TO stray loose
at night. the child is punished. Yet
in point Of fact the blame lies with
the parents, and il is they who
should be punished if there were
any way to do it,
A law forbidding unaccompanied
children 10 attend the movies would
keep them out Of the movies, no
doubt Would il keep them at home /?
Would IT remedy the home condi-
tons that make il possible for them
TO be out at night unmatched? IN
fortunately it would not.
Children Of the right kind of
parents need no such law as this.
for parents Of the right kind do not
let their children wander about at
night, even when they are supposed
TO be at the movies. The proposed
law would keep them out OF the
movies: hut II wouldn't keep them
at home.
This isn't TO say that such n law
shouldn't be passed. Maybe It should.

lem. Z wouldn't solve the problem.

The problems which lie ahead in
the era OF expansion into which
everyone seems agreed South Bend

which will require the utmost in
executive ability and the utmost in

policy OF Law enforcement.
South Bends next mayor should
be a man without political obliga-
tions or hampering associations, who
can marshal all of the constructive
forces at his command for a bigger
and better South Bend. Next year
the state goes dry. The problems
which will follow in South Bend
call for a man who will earnestly
