The authorities of Spotsylvania,

sidering the advisability of erecting

probably be great expense saver as
there are but few prisoners confined

these places.
1t is said II the three jurisdictions
would combine their Jail at this
point. 1t would be easily accessible
to both Stafford and Spotsylvan!a
since large portions OF the roads in
both counties are improved. The
present lookup in Fredericksburg
has been condemned, and the jaiIs mt

Spokane is up in arms against the
road houses near the city, which dur
ing the past few months have claimed
a heavy toll in life. Young people
become drunk at these road houses
and then lose all sense of danger,
racing their cars madly into the city,
the result recently being the loss OF
several lives in automobile accidents.
The sense Of decency is lost often
times, as we'll as the sense of danger,
the road houses having frequently
been the scenes Of most ~disgraceful
brawls, due to drunkenness. The re-
suit is a developing sentiment in favor
of having the places closed. Law
breaking, which is drawing the limo
cent into It's vortex, is tolerated only
about so long in any community and
then the people rise up in their In
dignation and see hat it is crushed.
"a "a
The campaign hal about reached
that stage now where charges and
counter charges are being made from
the rostrum and published in the
press. We would suggest, that your
neighbor candidate is just as deserv-
ing of your confidence now as he was
before the campaign. He isn't any
more vicious, nor Is he any better,
than he was before his hat was
dragged into the ring by his friends.
In other words he is the same man
he has been for years, and If he was
deserving of your support six months
ago he is still deserving, in all pro-
liability. The campaign story is
usually without foundation in truth,
and many of them are despicable in
deed, leaving an impression on the
public mind that is not justified.
