KICK OF FRENZIED
PONY KILLS YOUTH
Clarendon, June 26.—David Lewis
Stapp, 16, ia dead, the result of being
kicked by his pet pony, frenzied by
the kick of a horse.
Stapp had gone into the lot to cetch
his pony. He grabbed it by the tail
as he had often done before. A horse
bit the pony on the neck. Twinkling
hind feet lashed out. Stapp was struck
down, but in a short while was able
to go home.
The only injury observed was a cut
on the chin and it was not considered
serious enough to summon a doctor.
The boy refused to submit to a family
vigil, but shortly after midnight,
members of his family found him
breathing his last. An investigation
showed a broken collar bone had cut
through a blood vessel and the boy
had bled to death internally.

SLANDERING YOUTH
It is quite the fashion to rail ut our
young people and say that something
must be done to prevent their decad
ence.
Bruce Findley, superintendent of
schools in a western city, declares
that if society at large were one-tenth
as good as the school children, the
criminal courts would not have so
much to-do.
He asserted that with rare excep-
tions every report of narcotics sold
in the school grounds had been found
to be an infamous or a slanderous
rumor started by persons who could
not substantiate it.
He said that the boys and girls of
today are better than those of any
other generation and he read from a
newspaper of 1862 remarks about the
youth of that age, which showed the
terrible things that were going on,
much more terrible than at present.
Yale University has been declared
the wettest in the United States.
There is no way to decide this ex-
cept by the testimony of those who
are familiar with condtions there. •
President Angell said that despite
the all too frequent violation of the
law, the amount of drinking at pres-
ent is very much less than it was in
earlier years.
Mr. Angier, dean of the freshmen,
said that among the freshmen the
situation was getting better from
year to year.
Charles H. Warren, dean of the
science school, said: “I am not a pro-
hibitionist and never was, I will ad-
mit, however, that the effect of pro-
hibition at Yale University has been
good.”
Frederick S. Jones, outgoing dean
of, Yale College, said: “On the whole
Iftere is decidedly less drinking than
before prohibtion, and conditions
have been improving with time."
Thus the, testimony of inside in-
formed witnesses, the charges against
Yale have been shown to be pure de-
famations.
As-to the other colleges, according
to statistics taken at the same time
as those of Yale, two-thirds of the
female students favored strict en
forcement of the eighteenth amend-
ment.
The fact is that our youth are
more serious and law abiding now
than they ever were before.—Dr.
Frank Crane.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR VOTE

Mr. Gandy said.
