A BASE LJBEL

Pennsylvania Grit says: "An uplift organi-
cation has set out to find and reform the
champion bad boy. Look for the lad with red
hair, freckles and 'yaller dog"
The writer of the above should either be
sentenced to a heavy penalty for libel or
fired from his job for his woeful lack of
knowledge of human nature
In the first place, he hasn't given single
symptom of the bad boy
First, red hair. Now, whoever saw red
headed boy who was coward? Cowardice is
the first prominent characteristic of the really
badness with bravery. The bad boy is also
sneak, and the fiery-headed youngster is too
imeptuous to even entertain a sneaking
thought. He is if anything too frank and
downright for his own good in this age of
diplomacy.
They usually so with pug nose, too
Fancy the combination in a bad boy Why,
he is the incarnation of all that is jolly rollck-
ing sunny tempered and all round clever"
in doing favor He may be tease, he's an
invetcrate rogue for fun and practical jokes
but bad-nevcr.
And owns ''yHer dog"
The most .dafnnable libel of all.
Psychologists have sought in vain to ac-
count for the strange affinity between the boy
and his unlovely dumb friend, but one thing
surc-it is there and in full force. Can it be
that in the poor brute the urchin finds that
for which he vainly seeks elsewhere -recipro-
cal love that is perfect and without flaw? 1t
would fully account for the yaller dag.
If the uplift society ever finds the typical
bad boy, he will bear not the slightest resembl-
ance to Grit's picture.
First he will be outwardly faultless. His
person, and his manners will be found pleasing
and his smile will be peculiarly winning. He
will be accomplished, even polished in his con-
versa ton.
And then he will never be brought to the
notice of the uplft society for the reason that
all his charm of person is almost sufficient to
blind even the angels of heaven to the fact that
at the core--deep down in his hcart-he is
BAD. rotten as hell
Yes. he is walking the streets of our cities
and towns every day. but the uplift society will
never get him..
