YOUNG GIRLS LIBERTY.
Years Are a Woman's Protection, and
Youth Ia "A Time of Danger.

LChTb arc "A WOmhnb AEotCcthone anu
Youth Is "A Time of Danger.
The liberty and freedom of action al
lowed young girls of today is the sub
ject Of a forcible editorial by Edward
w. Box in the Ladies' Home Journal.
THAT everything in life is tending to
make people freer in thought and ac-
ton is undoubtedly true, and 1t Is
healthful tendency in the main-health-
hui for people of years and self-controi,"
writes Mr.. Box. But no advantage Ia
without its disadvantages. The freer
our lives become along beautiful and
safe lines the healthier will our minds
become. But before We can safely
profit by these advantages we must
have lived long enough to know how to
use them and to understand what
phases of them TO disregard. Because
women are freer to travel alone than
ever before, 1t does not necessarily fol-
low that 1t is wise and right that young
girls should be permitted to travel
alone. Here comes the truth of the
proverb that what's one mans poison
is another's meat" The time was when
a woman could not, with self-respect,
go TO place of entertainment unat-
tended. Now she can. But that does
not make 1t right for a girl to do so.
The chaperon is none the less indis-
pensable to girls today than she was 80
years ago. She is really more neces-
sary. for, as things become more and
more possible for women, they should
become more impossible for girls. This
may sound hard and severe, but young
girls must remember that a woman's
years are her protection, where as a
girls lack Of years is her danger. The
very aim and purpose Of the present
tendency for woman's greater freedom
will be defeated If we allow 1t to guide
the actions of our girls. The danger
to immaturity always becomes greater
as the danger to maturity grows less
That we should never overlook. 1t is
blessed change that things are safely
possible to women which were absolute
ly impossible few years ago. But prog
ress is dangerous as well as healthful
If parents interpret the present chang
ing conditions by allowing greater free
dom to their daughters they will make
a very sad mistake"

No district in America presents, during the
Winter season. so many varied attractions as
the State of Florida. Besides its delightful
climate, which to one estapng from the cold
and unhealthful changes OF the North seems
almost ethereal. it is pre-eminently a land of
sport and pleasure, Along its eleven hundred
miles of saltwater coast and in its twelve
hundred fresh-wator lakes are fish of almost
every conceivable variety, from the migra-
cory tribes common TO Northern waters to the
tarpon pompanO, and others of more
tropical character Nowhere in all our broad
land can the angler find greater variety Of
game or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds safety. Deer, turkeys, bears, panthers,
and wild cats roam at large through the more
sparsely settled regions, while birds of all
kinds may be found in abundance through
out the State The more novel sport Of al
lgator and manatce hunting may also be in
dulged in by the more adventurous tourist.
With its matchless climate, its orange
groves its rivers and lakes, its boating and
bathing, its fishing and hunting, and its
extensive forests, Florida presents unrivaled
attractions for the valetudinarian, the lover
of nature, the sportsman and the explorer.

Ter, when asked to furnish the Associ-
ated Press with a statement of the
reasons for seeking a postponement Of

duty Of the senate on such an import
ant matter, urging against undue
haste and concluding as follows: Il
am decidedly in favor of arbitration
in all cases that can be arbitrated, but
this is no reason why I should join in
ratifying a treaty that lacks the great
est essential of a treaty. When the
treaty is put in proper form, as 1 hope
1t will be, it win be ratified. I regret
that the agreement has not been con-
sidered in open senate, so that the peo-
pie could see the defects in it."
