THE R OF EXAMPLE,

n NEWS item relates the trying experiences OF
IAparents and the police in Mexico City follow
ing tho appearance there OF a human fly" The
''fy' performed some hair raising feats Of climb
ing; displaying all the ease and Indifference of the
his performance. The small boys of Mexico City
have been putting in all spare time since trying to
duplicate the exhibition, and various mishaps have
followed. Lads, have had to be rescued from win
dow lodges, roofs, and other perilous positions, and
the police have had TO do a lot of climbing around
that had not been figured in when they applied for
their Jobs.
1t takes something OF this kind to really open
the eyes to the profound influence OF example. The
stunts of this man called forth an outward and
visible emulation that might be followed and con.
trolled, bnt what Of the hidden mental and moral
emulation that is most difficult to cope with II 1t
happens TO be harmful. No man or woman realizes
to what extent he or she may be a hero or heroine
to youth, Few adults there are who cannot recall
men and women of their day whose unconscious
word or act made imprint that remains clear and
distinct even to the present.

other day and declared emphatically against the
use Of ctsarets. Ruth is a popular idol OF Amert.
can boyhood. Every word he said to those boys
will be treasured by them. The few words from
Ruth regarding the harmtulness Of cigarette smok-
ing will receive more consideration than a year OF
sermons by the most impressive minister.
1t is well to walk carefully. One false step
upon the part Of a hero will undo a world Of moral
education instilled with painstaking care by con-
scientious teacher or parent.

THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 8, 1922.
FoR rHE GOOD on al.

HE statement made by a prominent Union
District resident about the chance that road
Improvement would offer for employment In the
district Is a good one and one that should appeal to
thelnumbers OF men who are out OF work, and who
would be glad to get a steady job for months to
come.
The point Is we'll taken that men residing>in the
district would make better workmen 10 construct
The new roads than laborers picked up elsewhere.
These men would have a personal interest in
Tie work upon which they were engaged and their
best efforts would be spent to see that no faulty
work entered into the road building, and
that every foot, OF 1t was. honest and perfect con-
s%trttetton. II Union District roads were built by
Union District men, thousands Of dollars expended
nstheir construction would come directly back into
the district by way OF wages, SO that the district
would mol. only have Its improved roads but a great
part of its money too, at the close OF the operation.
The miles Of road which the bond issue would
permit IL the people give their assent, will take
months TO build. The employment to be had during
these months will tide over many idle men until
their regular places of employment are open again.
Y would be the best time in the world to build the
roads for the work would begin at a time when the
people need it very greatly. Teams that are now
consuming quantities ot feed and bringing in no
return, would again be put into harness and earn
for their owners a most welcome income.
Union District needs the improved roads, her
men need the work, then why NOT go ahead with
the good roads movement and give Union District
her greatly needed improvement, and her men
employment by which they: can support their
Families.

MIGHT FRY THE KLAN

ID RoBABLY the largest number OF bandits on
| record operating together upon one Job
made their appearance in New York this week,
when forty OF them assembled to rob a freight train
OF the New York Central line.
The bandits were after silk. Nearly two million
dollars worth OF silk was thought by them to be on
this particular train. Fortunately for the owners
Of the silk, and the railroad company, the shipment
did not fall upon this trip and the disappointed
robbers found carloads Of sugar instead.
This banding together Of outlaws adds the last
touch OF western realism to the eastern crime
wave, Forty criminals making up an attacking
party touches a new high point in crime annals. II
the silk had been accessible 1t would undoubtedly
have been taken, for 1t would have required a small
army OF prepared guards to repell such an attack.
Thieves are getting remarkably bold when they
fear betrayal SO little that they will enter into
criminal operations with forty others. There is
apparently no reason now why such a band should
not expand itself and rob an entire block or a street
at one time very successfully. The next day after
the attack of the forty upon the freight train, five
bandits entered a fine residence at midday in
Washington Square, New York, locked the family
and servants in the cellar, and stripped the house
of nearly 100000 worth of valuables. The men
had a pass key and proceeded ~leisurely about their
business with utmost unconcern.
Since January 1, New York has had nInety-nine
holdups and hfty-seyen homicides. Can New York
control her criminals at all, the public is beginning
to inquire. The situation seems entirely out Of
hand and while the New York press was loudest in
denunciation Of the Ku Klux Khan yet it is condl-
lions of this kind that give birth 10 such .~organiza-
tons. New York needs some remedy for crime. 1t
might try out The Khan for a change. Nothing
could be much worse than the present condition.

Berton Braley's Poem
WAYFARERs

OF all the Joys Of travel,
North. south, or east or west,
In city streets or country lanes
The people are the best;
The ordinary humdrum folk
Whose simple human code
Is CHEEKY kindness 10 those
They meet along the road.
In homes, in stations and hotels,
On trains and on the street,
These pleasant, open-hearted folk
Are mighty good to meet;
| like their talk of home and toll,
OF babies, and OF books,
OF prohibition, politics,
Of baseball. golf and cooks.
And whether they be wise or not.
From each and every one
I add q little to my store
OF wisdom and Of fun;
For they are salt OF all the earth
Whatever their abode.
The pleasant hum-drum friendly
folk
l meet along the road.
