The "tack-spreading sin" - 1905

Some people have a rose-tinted view of the past. The "Good Old Days" they call them; when everyone was kinder, more polite, and gentler - before the violence and mindless petty vandalism of our present times. So especially for those people who think the "Good Old Days" were so wonderful, here's a report of some mindless petty vandalism - from 1905 !
