Friday, October 19, 1928 ■ _ —_ , -> » . I Where Does the Trouble Lie? / __L_: . ' V ' Unfavorable condition* in the home, poor training and associations have been given as a cause for crime and trouble among the youth of today. But with five young boys, all white and not one over 18 years of age. in a small county jail accused of stealing, it causes one to wonder. One of the five boys steals just to b- stealing; he is classed as slightly "off." A second boy Would be clqssed along with the first, though his case is slightly different.. While the cases of the two boys are lo be deplored, a. more pitiful situation arises with the other three. Easy money and thoughts of a good time were too great for them. They would run a risk of going to jail and burdening their parents with trouble, and did so without once stopping to think; their desire for pleasure was, too great. Sorrow was expressed by the three young men as they waited in jail here this week for the law to handle them as it might see fit. But it late to save themselves from disgrace; they took a chance and were caught and should be turned from such paths by adequate punishment.

It will be little less than a miracle for the Republicans to register a win in this State this year, after the Democrats have increased with the population over a period of years. It is hardly reasonable to believe that a party builded over a period of years will fall in one year. In 1876 the vote was 125/427 Democrats to 108,417 Republicans—a party lead of about 17,000. In 1924 it was 248,270 to 191,753—a dominance of nearly 93,000- and if 1924 is objected to as a three-ticket year, then 1920 can be adduced, with Democrats 305,447 and Republicans 232,848. If the Republicans would Carry this State, they will be obliged to wage a warmer battle here than in Vir ginia and several of the other Southern States. Ihe Republican campaign weapons have been hurled at the Democratic Party in the South, but they have no v more than hit the edges, for the true heart-beat of the party continues on as before. No Real Issues For many people in this section of the country there are no real issues in this presidential .campaign; it is only a time for us to learn what isVeligious tol erance, how prohibition has fared in the hands of its enforcers during the past seven and one-half years, and who and what is that Tammany Hall., They are the three issues that should not be there, no doubt, but we have yet to go to hear a sjieech where all three are not'brought up.._L_ But there is some good in it after all. Possibly a few officials in Washington have learned that we are supposed to have prohibition,; we have learned that there is more than one church and that Tammany Hall does not have a membership confined to millionaires. Tariff questions, the question of Federal aid to the States, and dozens of others, are important, but not in this section, where certain articles written in the American Constitution by James Madison and others are to be reviewed and defined. "Give us prohibition '. is the cry; little do the criers care whether Federal aid will come to the States from the Federal sources. same wise |*>licy and intent which o|>en the doors of our free schools our young also suggest the completion of the plap thus entered upon by placing books in the hands of those who in our schools have been taught to read.—Grover Cleveland. Public libraries are necessary for the education and betterment of the people.— Sir James Barrie. It is hard for me to speak of the value of libraries in terms which would not seem exaggerated. Books have l>een my delight these thirty yars, and from them I have received incalculable benefits. Sir Wil liam Osier. The im|x>rtance of > the public library can hardly , lie exaggerated. -George Bernard Shaw.
