These i . ' . 9 young ladies have been accused of. a very grave crime against society and the iaws of the state and the nation. The. accusation has been .made through the medium of the press and their names have been heralded far and near in such manner as to make them the targets of every scandal-- ; monger in the. land. The head of that family, a man whose name has been, and still is, connected with the names of those young ladies has contented himself with the declaration that the charges are absurd and the ladies have been left to combat the scandal alone. .When the subject of a vindication was mentioned to him he is reported to have replied that a prosecution for libel would be useless for the reason that no judgment against a certain paper for damages could be collected. He claims that the whole tale is a false and malicious slander and libel; but he has done nothing to wipe away the scandal from the fair names of those two young ladies. It would have been some vindication of them and himself if he had had the courage to have used a ball bat on the head of the author of the damaging tale; but he has no such courage. A chicken in comparison would be a Homeric hero. A suit for libel prosecuted with energy and In good faith would surely have brought vindication, unless forsooth the defense would be able to prove the truth of the subject matter of complaint.. But he will not prosecute such an action because he Is not able to see any money in it. If nothing were at stake except his' own good name it would-ban affair for him to manage or treat in his own way; but ten thousand times more priceless than his own reputation are the reputations of those young ladies.

The front page, ornate with flowers, cherubs, doves and chicks, commemorative of the glad Easter time, the anniversary of the resurrection of the Savior of. the world, would have produced a pleasing effect, had not the scene been spoiled by the anomaly of a cartoon of inanimate things, two rotten eggs. The welcome spring atmosphere bore the fragrance of lilies, carnations and roses.; From numerous sanctuaries, rose the song, The Lord is risen, indeed. The whole Christian world was. rejoicing in unison. At such time the introduction of the garbage cart was repulsive. It was coarse, even to bru- tality. The pictured utterance of scrambled stale eggs garnished with vlnerf and babies displayed more of sacrilege than of wit. By pressing Into messenger service the symbols of innocence and purity, a vulgar specimen of political venom was offensively forced upon unwilling readers, and another attempt to mould public opinion In the far west by a masterful stroke fell of its own weight. The degraded effort was intended to typify m the members of the city council and the board of education. None of tiiese officers have ever been compelled to resign from a public position before their terms had expired,: and even lf they had it would have been well for those living In glass houses ' not .to much' less to throw throw ws eggs.
