In Their New Home W. W. Edmonds la moved into bis hla fine new residence this week and has one of the pnUlest homes In the city.

The Streets of the City Should be Kept Clean Captain Illack had a delinquent wh had looked upon thu wlno too long whllo It vvne rail, at work on our itrcets last Saturdny, This Is an excellent way to servo thoso trans, grcssora upon the poaco and welfare of our enterprising llttlo city. On tho other hnnd, several of tho prin cipal thoroughfares certainly do need a general cleaning up, and thon It would bo In ordei for tho council to pass an ordinance niaktng It a mlrnlo monitor for any ono to throw old paper and rubbish on nny of tho streets' and publlo places. Tho flno should bo mado strong onough so that parties guilt) of tho offonco would roallxo that thero was no Joko about tho mattor, Nlco clean well kept streets please the oyo of so journers within our gates.

Tho loading ono was larceny, of which there wore 121,all boys, Tho next largest was 88 for Immorality, on which thero woro 31 boys and 61 girls, Tho worst foaturo of tho whole showing Is that of tho 780 children sent to tho lnBtltutlon.532 Woro child ren of capablo parents, whoro It Is natural to look for a hotter class and whoso children wo would not oxpoct to find in tho courts, Thero Is somo excuse for children of careless or vi cious parents going to the bad, but of thoso 632 chlldron of capablo pa rents thoro can bo but ono reason nnd that Is that the bocIIii) environments counterbalanced tho Instructions nnd oxamplo of thoso over them and tho young pooplo will doubtless hold thom responsible for tholr undoing. 80 long as tho saloon.tho brothol, tho dives of endless variety aro per mltted to flourish to pander to tho vicious tastes of tho depraved and to entlco by their alluremonts the young boys and girls of both our city and country, wo will have to pay thli tribute of disgraco and lost souls to tholr greed for gold. And this 700 or 800 Is not all by any means that are lost. They are but tho few who are caught by an Indifferent and Ineffi cient police sorvlco In tho city and perhaps represents but a very small portion of those actually thus degrad ed by this rottenness of our sock life. This report of the Juvenile Court should be in tho hands of overy pa rent in the county, for thero can bo no stronger argument for a clean-up In the social llfo of our entiro county than this report. If the fathers and mothers who love their children will permit these rotten degeneiates to op erate these dens of vice and thus edu cato our young to lives of vice and con ruptlott they will always do so, and the politicians, tho most of them, at pull It will give them with this class pull I twill giro them with thto class of voters. It is this class of people too who will put up the money most liberally for a campaign fund.
