J; ;> also tated that they are to be prosecuted to the fullest extent
( : ihi law, and that undoubtedly many of them must go to the pen-
i nti.Lnes, as the evidence against them is of a positive nature.
This sort of thing is enough to make most of us stop and I
I- ink. What is the world, society and our rising genera-
t n coming to, with- uch damming crimes, as this true.' \\ hy is |
it'.' Wha* is the remedy?
The why of it is twofold. First, the ranid. killing pace that |
r ost everybody is traveling at, and especially the young men.
Sto-nd, The bringing tin, or ivther lack of bringing up, which these -
young men, and m -si a'l young men of this age, have received at j
j ie hands of their i arents.
No young man would stooi to such a cowardly, miserable, low-
i wn, dishonest and dishonor:;!)!".' act if he had been given a prop-
♦ / bringing up. It would be utterly imi ossible. I he fault lies \
a ith the i arents, and, to some extent, with ihe teachers who have
1 id the education of these young men in hand.
Just imagine it! These poor soldier boys by the thousands J
went into battle ai d fought the foes of our country unto death's
door, suffering untold hardships and dangers for the cause of lib-1
< ty and right. They got no nay for such a service, nor asked for j
; ly Theirs was ;■ heroism and patriotism we should all honor and I
ivspect, and hallow and rejoice in. Thousands of them cornel
home wounded, crippled, diseased, broken down in health and!
hell less. And then those for whom liberty and life they ha<!
1ought for, and gave up all for, turned round and rob them of the
lew paltry dollars they had coming to them from the Government
they aved! It is hard to think that such a tiling can be possible.
What is this country coming to if our young men
who have been in college and have been given t laces of trust and
responsibility at good salaries, will rob thi maimed and suffering
it.urned soldiers in order to get money for high living. It is a
gloomy outlook.
The remedy lies with the parents and teachers, and must be-
gin in the cradle. Probably little can be done to reform those who
iue now going the pace, but a check can be nut upon such shame-
I d dishonesty and disloyalty by bringing the present children up
1 have within them the honor and honesty which the young men
! 1 -t above them in age are so dreadfully and shamefuly lacking
in.

tective they can do an enor-
mous amount of work with-
