Re needs some one to take his breeches off aad wear a goad buggy whip out on his lower extremities, but we insist be le not altogether bad. The big problem is how to curb these upstarts who want pleasure and hare not the means or the sense to get it la a lawful way. They would taste of the sweets of life but are not sensible enough to got at the sweets without becoming entangled with the law of the land. Most of this trouble is due to the faulty training of these young people. They have not been taught to respect the rights of others, aad they have net bee* trained so that they are able to earn enough money to permit them to live as thoee about them are living. The fault is not altogether with the young criminals. It takes a wise Judge to deal with such characters. Taken as a whole, oar courts are meeting with the situation admirably.
