tj , The case of John Pender, convicted of murder many years
ago and pardoned after part of his life term had been served,
should not reflect discredit upon the individuals or organiza
tions responsible for his release at the time now that he has
'hacn caught in the act of another hideous crime. What it
should do, however, is impress people with the fact that the
decision of trial juries deserves more than ordinary consid-

! Reviewing the more serious depredations, one would ai
live at the conclusion that tho original spirit of Hallowe'en
had suffered since the holiday came into existence. The prac
tical jokes, tho scares,, the hanging of gates on telephone
poles such things have become too tamo for our modern
youth,' it seems. And since wanton destruction of private
property is a public menace, it becomes a serious public
problem.
The fact Unit buildings are empty and in disuse, that the
owners may lie glad lo have the insurance instead of the
property should not be sufficient excuse for even the most
mischievous youth in starting a fire. Somewhere there has
been a woeful lack of training in what constitutes citizenship
end good sportsmanship. Wilful destruction of property is
Sn the same category with thieving and burglary. Tho youth
who can be guilty of one, even on Hallowe'en, can be guilty
of the other on other occasions. He has never had or has lost
his sense of responsibility as a unit of society.
The boy who is guilty in a case of this kind isn't entirely
(o blame. Parents are lamely responsible where such van
dalism exists. And though it is not possible to correct past
crimes, it is possible lo guard against a repetition of them in
the future. The two fires last night offer parents an ad- i Mm0?Ta
miiaoie excuse 10 iracii a lesson on me lespoiisiiiiiuy ol cit
izenship, on the iniKrtance of respect for the property of
others. I!y so doing they may be preventing a more serious
misdemeanor with resulting public punishment in the years
to come.
