sged from twelve to eighteen years,
nave been allowed to run at will so
long. and permitted to escape pun
jshment for the many misdemeanors
which they have been guilty of, now
seem to have gone so far as to stand
facing the law.
Robert A. Warren's pool room and
grocery store has been entered with
false keys at least three times in the
mast week. Quite some goods were
taken, until the last time when Mr..
warren was waiting for them when
they entered, and shot so as to scare
them. They retreated at once but
Mr.. Warren was able to see who it
was who entered his place of busi-
ness. Since then one of the party has
confessed and implicated several
other boys who had hand in the
pilfering.
The writer on several occasions
called parents attention to the
dasSnward course some of the boys
Of this town were pursuing. The
warnings fell on deaf ears, and no
restraining hand was put forth to
stay theiK onward movement, which
Generally leads to crime.
It is a pity that the boys and girls
of today are allowed so much liber-
ty. They are learning those things
which will bring tears and sorrow to
mothers and fathers hearts. A cur
few bell should be rung in every
town and an ordinance enforced
causing young girls and boys of ten
der age to be in the home after a
certain early hour of the evening
had expired.
Another Death Due to Liquor
The terrible accident which Oc-
lcnrred on Friday afternoon last near
lClendaniel's Mill Pond, two and one
half miles north of Ellendale where
woman was killed and her hus-
hand badly MANNED was carried to
one of the hospitals of Milford, for
treatment. It seems that the driver
Iof the automobile being under the
influence Of liquor drove directly in
lto a truck being driven by J. j.
smith. also of Milford, tearing
wheel loose from the truck and de-
molishing the auto beyond repair
with the result quoted above. Mr..
smith and his assistant escaped in
Jury of any kind.
How long will the people Of Del
aware whose business compells
them to travel the highways of the
state be subject to the danger oi
meeting drunken drivers of automo-
biles? And when, if ever, will it DC
safe for a woman to travel the high
wavs alone without the fear Of meet
ing one of these intoxicated beings
who seem to have no thought OF tnt
damage which they may do and pu'
No vaIue on human life whatever?
