What are you gv gt do about itt The thief will never be a thief in his own or his fond mothers, until he is made to look out between jyea hars. or do time in the chain gang ' And ' because 'parents wanse and palliate, officers will not enforce the law. How May bicycle or auto thieves are caught? They must all be Inown by some one whose civic duty it is to deliver them nrer And when caught, how many are even fined? It is afe to say that none are jailed- this laxness will breed retribution. Vigilance com mittees become a social necessity, where citizens and civil of-Beers wink at crime.
