HAD SHE KNOWN.

Now comes Evelyn Thaw's mother
and says that had she known before
the tragedy what she knows now,
Harry Thaw would never have had
the, opportunity of killing Stanford
White-she would have done II
herself. There is food for thought
in those few words for the mothers,
and fathers, too, of our land. How
many mothers, especially in our
large cities, make any effort to
ascertain the character of the men
with whom their daughters associate,
or even so much as ask their daugh-
tiers the nature of the entertainments
they attend or why they did not get
home until the wee sma' hours of
the morning. How many mothers
have had their hearts broken with
grief because they were too lenient-
with their daughters; because they
had SAID to themselves my daughter
is able to take care of herself, she
will never do anything wrong"
But after that daughter has fallen
lured to a life of shame by becom-
ing infatuated with man who is ga
devil in Disguise" the mother then
says chad | only known" In many
cases that mother could have known
had she only exercised mothers
prerogatlve. 1t is true. young girls
occasionally go astray whose
mothers have done all within their
power to prevent it. But the girls
who fall because of the lack of
proper parental training, and be-
cause they are permitted to choose
their male associates and go and
come at will from the time they are
IA years of age, are numbered by
the hundreds.
The boys, also, should come in
for their share of mothers advice
and training. They should be
taught that there Is nothing more
sacred than girls honor; they
should be taught that there is no
baser crime in the category than
that of robbing girl of her virtue.
Often it Is that young boys minds
become inoculated with evil
thoughts-thoughts that lead them
to look lightly upon a girls honor,
by being permitted to associate
freely with men who talk principal
ly of things that are lewd and de-
baslng. GAS the twig Is bent, so
the tree inclineth, = is as true as
gospel and if the minds of boys and
girls are permitted TO become satur-
ated with evil thoughts, BY associat-
ing with lewd characters, just that
sure will the minds of vast major
ity of those young people be SO in
cliued when they grow older. 1t is
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1907-04-26

one of the frailties of man TO learn
more quickly and cling more tenac-
iously to the things that are evil
than 1t is to those that are pure and
good.

game that fairly brimmed over with

It was the first George Washington

They connected for eight hits yester-

been making recently.
With the score 8 to ? at the end of

four runs across the plate in the next
inning and looked to have the game
safely tucked away. but poor judgment
