MAKE CHARLESTON SAFE
From TIE Charleston MaiI)

SO it appears that a crime wave
has broken out in Charleston. Ger.
tainly robbcries and hoId-ups are
becoming more frequent. For years
Charleston has been noted as one of
the safest cities in the country, size
considered. 1t must regain its old
reputation. Vigorous action is re.
CURED Safety is the first require.
ment and must be obtained and
maintained at all costs
Proper measures must be taken
to secure safety and TO make Char.
lesion safe, day and night. That the
police force Of Charleston is pain
fully inadequate in numbers to GOV.
or the city properly Is a fact long
known, and also that up to recent
times the order of Charleston has
been so good has been owing to the
quality of its citizenship than to
fear of the law The police force Of
Charleston should be doubled at
once.
The restoration of law and order
and the protection CT the citizenry
requires two essential things and
these requirements should be pro-
vided: first, force sufficient to
hunt down the criminals, and then
prompt trial. vigorous prosecutions
and adequate punishment Instead
of becoming a mecca for eyil-doers

be made place to be stunned. 1t

Notes
A PRACTICAL PROBLEM.


The New York Sun, somewhat
facetiously and yet perhaps coming
near to the mark suggests a prob
lem. which, under the Einstein
theory. may be i'll the grade school
books of the future. 1t puts the time
within 20 years. Here's the rela-
lively nut to crack by mathemati-
cal processes:
An ant is crawling around the
outside of baseball which has just
been projected. with whirling out
curve motion, from the hand of a
youth. The youth is standing on
a fat car which is proceeding to.
ward Akron. Ohio, at the rate of
eighteen miles an hour. The flat
car is moving over an earth which
is spinning at the rate of 1000 miles
an hour and at the same time circl.
ing the sun at a speed of eighteen
miles a second. The sun is revolv-
ing at 1000 miles an hour and NOV
ing toward Hercules at the rate of
twenty miles second. Problem {:
When the ant is on the bottom of
the baseball what is its relatively, in
speed, direction and location, to Her
cules?"

benefit of that community.
The citizen Of Charleston, the hon
est, lawabiding citizen, has been
disarmed In the presence OF the
criminal he is like the lamb led 10
the slaughter. The criminal is arm
ed because he will not obey the
law. The law-abiding and defense
less are at the mercy of the crooks,
who are ready to commit murder at
the wink of an eye. The state, there
fore, having disarmed the law-abid.
ing without also disarming those
who seek to rob and would murder
them, must do its full duty toward
protecting the defenseless.
There are idle men in Charleston
today; but not all idle men are
dishonest. Far from it. Then there
are the loafers who constitutionally
loaf or who live to spend without
earning spending money by work.
Vagrancy is the first promotiye Of
crime. 1t is up to the mayor and
council and all other proper law en-
forcement officers to enforce the
law. and to make Charleston safe,
day and night.
