The Oazuttu cannot believe that parents of Berrien county children urc opposed to “Lotid tux for Public' Babools.” it is true that, at the elec tion on the 4th inst., the measure was lost because it failed to 'receive the endorsement of two-thirds of the registered voters of the couuty. It is also true that an overwhelming majority of those wiio voted expressed themselves by their votes in favor of ths project, It was lost because the voters did not go to the polls and Vote; net having had time'to inves tigate tlio merits of the question,they did not fully understand it, hence their indifference.

Bur these urc, not the only repre hensible literature tlmt is being cir culated in tlie state, In their effort to rcucli the topmost niche in modern journalistic enterprise our daily pa pers frequently commit gricyous wrongs against tlie youth of our land by giving too much prominence to gl'cat criminal and the detuils of their crimes. It is proper and right for the daily papers to give tlie news of the day—good, bad and indifferent —but away witli that journalistic en terprise having a tendency to poison tlie mind of llig young in the manner indicated! The details of some crimes are not proper to bo printed under any uircnmstunces, but modern daily papers give them to tlie pnblin with a flourish in the name of jour nal Islicetnerprise, Ho long as this deleterious litera ture is permitted to he circulated just so long will Col.

I t is de duced from these facts and llgures tliut “the lime will soon come when Georgia’s convict army will number II,000"— men, women mid children. But whence comes this condition of great moral depravity? Col, Rob ertson spys the principal cause "is flic abandonment of country homes and tlie congestion of negro popula tion in and near the towns and cit ies,” mid tlm enforced idle brains tliut naturally follow tile congestion furnish workshops for tlie devil and ids aides, 't’liis condition is nodoubt a fruitful source of crime, but is It I ho principal source ? The Gazeti'K joins issue with the sage, and con tends Unit the most fruitful source of crime in Georgia to-duy is the perni cious literalnro which the laws, or the lax performance of duty by. offi cers of the law, permit to bo seatiered broadcast throughout the length and breadth of tlie state.
