The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1908-07-24
GIRL DEFENDERS.

The second district Is considering
the question, what shall we do with
our girl offenders?" and wishes the
first district to give it thought. we
had not intended mentioning the
subject in Echoes just yet, we think
it is the intention of the district
presidents to do so. However, there
is case in point being tried In the
court house at Blackfoot at the time
this is being written that may prove
an incentive to both thought and
quick action. 1t is called the Mary
Robb case" and it is the intention of
of the editor OF the Republican to
write it up without either cover or
color, in the interest Of our moral
conditions being made better and the
early life of our girls and boys more
carefully looked after. Such as it
proves to be, 1t will reach you
through the columns of this paper
This Is written to call your attention
to the fact and to suggest reading
by those interested in hayward boys
and girls. We are told the guilty
girl was young, her paramOur and
the girl friend are but little past
girlhood and boyhood.

Mrs. P. W. Harding of Dennison,
Iowa is prominent club woman of
that town, who visits Idaho frequent
ly when her husband (who belongs
to the legal fraternity has business
to transact in our state. She spent
several weeks in Blackfoot last sum-
mer and we are looking forward to
repetition of the stay with delightful
anticipation. A Dennison exchange
has the following to say of recent
entertainment Mrs. Harding gave at
her home. Should you ever locate
her in your town for ever so short a
time, have her visit your club and
call on her for an impromptu speech
That is where she shines and If she
isn't witty Irishwoman, she must
have had some Irish kin anyway.
MRS. P. W. Harding received in
honor of Mrs. Judge w. r. Green
last Wednesday afternoon, IT'S
guests being invited to enjoy the
pleasant afternoon. The occasion was
one of the highest social pleasure,
and all enjoyed very much meeting

flags and bunting and looked pretty
and cheerful in the national colors.
On the west porch Miss Junia Ro-

they wished it, having a booth of
flags. The refreshments were dainty
