C., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1920 IS HISTORY REPEATING? Are the days of Sodom and Gomorrah returning? Are our great Ameri -.m cities becoming so wicked they must be overthrown before they can be -ioansed ? Newspaper men in our metropolitan centers of population are in diefatigable news gatherers. Their "nose for news" has been sharpened and etveloped to the point where they have become the keenest detectives in the vorld. They are exposing rOttUnness and corruption to an extent that is ppalling to all decent and self r'especting people. If one-tenth of all the stor! s they print are true the more populous see io'is of this country are a l hotoed of financial tilth and a mire of moral de .gJchery. When sworn officers of the law are "unable" to detect crime the news :i per mer' go out, dig it up, and expose it in the columns of their papers. But u fortunately the reporter is not a policenian, and neither is he a ourt or jury. Ile can not arrest, prosecute, or sentence. And others (1o t---in the most flagrant cases. It is the old, old story of protected vice nd corruption i-umiing rampant and defying all law, order and decency. If you have a son or daughter whose welfare you value, keel) him or her iway from the big city. The smite of the deadly rattlesnake is no more -;ngerous thai tihe +treets where the bright lights burn and the hellhounds urk for their unwary prey. The country town may be small and dull, but it is clean and wholesome. - is a better plac inl which to live than the modern Sodom or Gomorralh. KEEPx THE SPORT CLEAN ---o Every time a hand is shovel into the baseball mess a bunch of fresh rot oness is pulled out. Just what will be the punisshment meted out to these rooked players adil the gamblers who bought them we don't know. Just what should be done to them the whole country knows. But one r)mg is certain. The public can cleanse the national sport by refusing to sriend any game in which a player appears against whom there are any well 'rounded suspicions. It may savor of the boycott, but there are times when tenuous methods are justifiable. No honest man wants to pay out his good' iey to boost a crooked game amd enrich a bunch of rotten grafters.
