Are the days of Sodon> and Gomor rah returning? Are our great American cities be coming so wicked they must V>e over thrown before they can be cleansgj? Newspaper men in our metropolitan centers of population are indefatiga ble news gatherers ? Their "nose for news" has been sharpened and developed to the point Where they have becomq^he keenest detectives in the world. Thoy are exposing luttcuuesM mill corruption to an extent that is ap palling to all decent and self respect-" ing people. If one-tenth of all the stories they, financial filth anfc a mire of moral de dauchery. When sworn officers of the law are "uiiable" to detect crime the newspa per-nren gu out, dig it up, and expose Jr. in the columns of their papers. But unfortunately the reporter is not a policeman, and neither is he a j court or jury. He can not arrest, 1 prosecute. _ or sentence, ? And others do not ? in the most fla grant cases. It is the old, old story of protected vice and corruption running rampant and defying all law, order and de cency. If you have a son or daughter who se welfare you value, keep him or her away from the big city. The smite ofthe deadly rattlesnake is no more dangerous than the streets where the bright light burn and the hellhounds lurk for their unwary prey. The country town may be small and dull, but it is clean and wholesome. It is a better place in which to live than the modern Sodom or Gomorrah. This automotive age no longer re fers to a political warrior as a "war horse." * Cotton and wool both being cheap er, it seems natural in these topsy turby times for clothes to be higher. Bud Jones says he has found out how to reduce his meat bill ? he is be coming more vegetarian. THE FRANKLIN TIMES $1.50 Per Year In Advance.
