What crimes against childhood have been Der
petrated in the name of righteousness! And what
effort has been put forth to hide wrong beneath the
mantle of childish innocence!
. History tells of the children's crusade, by
means of which children's hands were to wrest con
troll Of the Holy land from the Turk. The story is
a sad one. Thousands of children, animated by re-
ligious feFvor, left their homes to join a procession
OF whose nature they knew nothing, whose expert
ences they could not imagine, and of whose purpose
they were in utter ignorance save that their act, as
they understood it, was in the service of God. The
mania that inspired the learners of that insane en-
terprise, and which led fathers and mothers to per-
init their little ones to be led away, is incomprehen-
siDie IN this age. The expedition met its only pos
slbie fate. Hunger, cold and disease decimated the
ranks OF the hopeful band which set forth, until only
a small remnant reached the shores of the sea. The
pathway was marked by dead bodies, and the few
who survived must have carried with them to their
graves tormenting memories of those awful months.
Inc time was one of strange religious fervor. The
visionary and impractical nature of the entire cru
SADIE movement seems to have reached a climax in
that strange expedition.
OF another Character was the Crusade of re-
cent days whose objective was the city of Washing
ton. A woman, notorious for her own conte1npt1-
Gus defiance OF the laws of her country, and for her
persistent effort to obstruct the >marshaling of the
man power of the nation in the nations time of ex-
tremity, gather the children of others who, like her
self, had committed crimes against the government,
and who, like herself, had been imprisoned because
OF their ofenses, and with them set out for Wash
iIineton to present to the President a demand for the
release of these offenders.
These children did not act of their own accord.
They were gathered up by interested persons, and
taken to Washington in order to influence the public
imagination and throw around the cases of the i'm
lprisoned persons an atmosphere of pathos and SYM
|pathy.
! Whether or not the president should receive
such a delegation was for him to decide. He de-
cided. He decided in the negative. Had he decided
otherwise, his decision could have no effect on his
treatment Of the cases of the prisoners whose re-
lease was sought
The policy Of the government in relation to
these cases has long since been declared. It is the
only policy that could be justified. Any man who is
imprisoned tor the commission of crime is irnpris-
oned as an individual. His application for elem
:ency, If madc,avih be considered separately and will
be treated on its merits: entirely apart from the
cases. OF other prisoners. To drag children into such
a situation, as has been done. is an ofensc against
childhood and an irsult to American citizenship.

frantic. yet there seemed to him no
way to turn TO avenge her ruin.
AS we parted, more than ever,
it was imperative to watch Bresh-
kaya. Kennedy tried to outline some
way of doing 1t, but indeed 1t Wns
no light task, for she was popular
and had a host of friends.
Therefore, the following day I spent
down at. the Star and about town in
nation about Breshkaya and p2rtic-
ularly about Minna 0akleigh as might
prove of value.
II ]. fancied that Breshkaya would
go into hiding after what had hap
pened, ! found that ! Yves grossly mis-
taken.
I was able to find out very little
about either Minna Oakleigh or
Breshkaya. The newspapers were of
in social circles, but when one dug
under h vast mount Of sob stuff
that was printed. nj found very lit
tie information.
AS for Breshkaya, reports that l
was able to get OF her during the day
from those whom l knew in the
white Light section of Broadway
seemed to indicate that the death
OF Thorne had been a hard blow to
her. Somehow her dancing partner
exercised q power over, her that no
other man seemed yet to have awak-
ened.
More than that. as nearly as / could
make out, Rreshkaya seemed to be a
changed woman. 1t vas not merely
fancy. There was now a hardness
and heartlessness in her that had
been lacking before.
A Change in Attitude.
Many noticed the sudden differ
ence.. No longer was she merely the
gay butterfly, thoughtless, pleasure
loving. Actually now her every ac-
uon seemed to be coldly calculating.
As I placed together What l learned
from hss intfmate~, 1 could do no p.l-
ter than compare her to q modern
Gorgon. II seemed ii if she was az
termired that every man who looked
on her should be turned to stone. as
it were. and perish.
The more that I thought OF the
change, the more 1 saw that our
search for the Black Menace must re-
volve around this dancer, ana the
more difficult 1t was going to be.
What the hold was that the Black
Menace might have on her at once
became the absorbing of prob
lens for us,
1t was after dinner that night that
! finished my collection Of details
and decided upon returning to re-.
port to Kennedy.

Our return to the city with Glars

thrilling recital she gave Of how she
had been carried on. 81.
In spite Of her nervousness. she

much. Always 1t was only e~nissaries

Thome, that we succeeded in getting

1t seemed that after receiving the
falsified message from Minna Oak

her that he had been sent by Mrs.

TURN TRAFFIC BACK ON
EAST OKLAWAHA TO-DAY

Unless something unforeseen occurs
to cause delay, East Oklawaha avenue
from Torrey avenue to Fox Lane will
be opened to the public this afternoon.
Brick has been laid as far as the An
thony road and this is now being roll
ed but it may not be completed and
sanded in time to open the street this
week. The grading crews are hard at
work on the street between the An
thony road and Tuscawilla street and
will have it ready for the brick laying
crew early next week. There are
nearly enough blocks on hand to finish
the paving to Watula street, where
vitrified brick will be used to pave the
block to the railroad. The asphalt
block plant in Tampa has closed down
because of a shortage of rock. Owing
to railroad embargo on rock the
plant has been unable to get more at
present. The city will be forced to
wait on asphalt block until the plant
reopens, but this will not affect the
paving on Oklawaha.

BROTHER OF T. J. KEMP
EASILY GAVE BOND

Mr.. T. J. Kemp has returned from
Lumberton, n. c., where he went to
provide bail for his brother, J. B.
Kemp, who was recently arrested In
St. Augustine for killing a man in
North Carolina forty-four years ago
There was no trouble in securing
bail for Mr.. ]. B. Kemp. His bond
was fixed at $4,000, and the amount
was easily secured, several prominent
citizens signing the bond. He return
ed with his brother to ST. Augustine,
where he will remain until summoned
back TO North Carolina for trial. An
acquittal is confidently expected. He
was a mere boy when the killing took
place and would probably have been
acquitted if he had remained and
stood trial then. He became frighten-
ed, ran away and came to Florida,
where he has lived and been a good
citizen for over forty years.
Mr.. T. J. Kemp has lived in Marion
county for some time and has made
numerous friends here. He has been
most of the time in the turpentine bus
mess, in which he had been successful
At present, he and Mrs. Kemp are
| living at Reddick, tho Mr.. Kemp is
transacting business in Ocala every
day. We regret to learn that oul
county may soon lose Mr.. Kemp. H,
is considering timber and turpentin,
proposition in st. Johns county ant
will probably accept it.
