Non-W orking Y outh
Young men from 16 to 25 who refuse to work
are the leading element from whleh criminals are
recruited, aoeording to Chief Magistrate McAdoo
of New York. He finds that the derelicts of the
large cities are rarely criminals. «It is not the near
ly starving down and outs who Itecome the outlaws.
Bather it is the smart and flashily dressed young
men who expect to live in luxury on the proceeds
of crooked work, who make trouble in the com
munity.
Their outbreaks are the result of the youthful
folly, as a man over 30 ia a curiosity among crim
inal* T^hen they get tha( age, they learn that it
is foolish to fight the whole community.
The trouble comes when boys get the idea in
their heads that there are short cuts to money, by
which they can live by their wits and get along
without working. A boy who gets that notion might
well be taken around to visit a number of jails,
so os to see how fellows have ended up as the
result of working on that plan.
M aking Industry Attractive
The question is often raised here in Ashland
as to how boys who are indolent* and indisposed
to work, can be made to take hold and make them
selves useful.
The motive of competition is effective in stimu
lating ambition. It used often to be noted that a
lazy horse would be aroused to quicken his paces,
if some driver behind tried to pass him. All at
once the indolent creature would bestir hipself
and show speed. BoyB also dislike to have it appear
that they are inferior. If they hear about this boy
or that who has done some good stroke of work
and has been well rewarded, they are also likely to
feel a spirit of emulation. They should be shown
at an early age that the community has little use
for idlers.
Can’t B e Controlled
Ludwig Schneider, fan employe of the Austrian
government, sued for divorce because his wife wore
short flurts which he considered immodest. - The
court ’decided against him, and he will have to
accustom himself to the shooking sight of his wife’s
legs.
Very few Americans wozld ever start divorce
proceedings for such .a cause, though some still
criticize the prevailing dress customs of the women.
But the men everywhere might as well make up
their minds that they can not control their wo
men folks as respects their clothes, or anything
else either.
As the women have net yet demanded divorces
beca use fee men wear too wide trousers, they will
feel that their men should let them establish the
altitude of their dresses.

A shland As It Could B e
One of the finest steps taken by local merchants
wag that of Henry Enders recently when he gave
general orders in his large department store* to
the effect that any clerk heard talking *in pessi
mistic tones about the future of Ashland, would
be automatically dismissed. Mr. Enders appreciates
the fact that more harm can be done to a com
munity by the spreading of gloomy stories than by
any other means, and he has .taken thia step as
his part in doing what he can to see that the truth
concerning Ashland ig broadcast as much as possible.
I f other institutions would adopt a similar
policy, if every individual would take the time
and trouble to ascertain the true conditions, there
would not be the feeling of hysteria that seems to
he becoming more prevalent.
Ashland is endowed with a natural heritage«
about which much has been said. The citizenry
is of a high type, and one look at the savjpgs de
posits in the various banks, as was evidenced in
the last published statements should be convincing
proof that there is sufficient money in Ashland,
to cause little financial worry.
Now, with all of these blessings, apparent on
every hand, there is little need for pessimistic
talk. The chamber of commerce could do well to
make a campaign among our own people, telling
them of some of the advantages that exist here.
The ministers could find no better gospel to preach
on some sabbath day- than that of Ashland. If
every one would get behind the movement that Mr.
Enders has started, there would be a decided differ
ence. We who live here have the power to make
Ashland what we want it to be. Let’s make it the
most optonystic, enthusiastic community on the

advice. One of the things he said
that I remember was that it did
little good to swear over split
glue. H e strutted around show
