Prohibition, Poisoned Whiskey,

effective if every citizen will cooperate to put booeggers

frowned upon not only because it illegal but because it

IempterS of the Weak Should
Share the Penalty of Guilt
Editor Washington Times:
December 80.


Editor Washington Times:
There is case in the paper today about two young
boys that given three hundred thousand dollars in
bonds and sent out to deliver them somewhere These boys
were tempted by the amount of money other valuable
securities which they regarded money and stole
Of them.
OF course, the boys to blame and there is no
doubt that they will be punished sufficiently In all proba
bity, they will be punished excessively in such way
to ruin them for life and make habua and hardened crm
mails Of them
But what about the who thoughtessy put great
temptation in the of weak and inexperienced youths
They are more to blame really than the boys.
There should be law under which they could be pros
ecuted and sent to Jail.
These boys probably good enough boys, with the
virtues and also the faults and weaknesses of the
boy Under proper circumstances they might have grown
up to be useful men, with least much honesty the
average financial magnate
But having been put in very trying position, in
charge of very large of money, they unduly
tempted and fell.
The transformation of these boys therefore,
useful into convcts lies squarey the shoulders
of the who thoughtlessy and nderently subjected
IN to this extraordinary temptation.
Under present laws nothing will be done to them
\$Awn get their money back The police force, at
Nble expense to the State will be employed recover
money.
The will be called upon pass upon these
and will devote proportion Of their valuable time to them
The boys will be arraigned convicted of course
associate with hardened prisoners in criminal instu
ton and graduated from there, at length thoroughly de-
praved and wholly confirmed in a career of crime.
And the men who morally responsible for this ex
pense and this injury to the individual will 60 scot Free and
air of special virtue and injured innocence
The who puts undue temptation in the way of the
weak shares the moral guilt of any crime that committed
and should share the penalty.

THAT FIFTH STREET CONDITION

We call the attention of the city

street II is the main thorofare into
the city and certain it Is that more
people get on poor opinion OF Crystal

We understand that the county has
taken over the street we also know
the reason why II hasn't been improv-
cd. That Is no excuse for adding to
tho discomfort OF our own people and
visitors when a couple Of truck loads
Of rock and barrel OF tar would
nut the street into very passibie con-
dtion.
The county is not in position TO i'm
prove the street until the state grants
the permission; that Is no reason why
we shouldn't give the street such
slight attention as Is needed. not leave
Il TO the county.
We hope to see something done tc
eradicate the condition that exists
there so that the people of the city
and the officials in particular, will no
be subjected longer to the sewers
