A STORY THAT MIGHT BE TRUE,

/
taxes credulity. 1t Is Of a father who
sent his three children from a country
home to a Des Moines business col
! lege, supplied them with funds liber-
ally and trusted that they would inn
prove their opportunity. Two girls,
the elder II, were accompanied by q
younger brother OF Is. When the IA
Their came to visit his children the
other day, he failed to find them at the
business school. They had never been
there He found them, so he says, in
Cherry street resort of infamous
character. He came away heartbroken
and left them there. This was the
story Grant Napier of Abba told the
police Judge the morning after he had
been arrested for intoxication.
There Is something about the story
that whispers of con" thrown into a
police judge and swallowed by a TRUST
full reporter at least by a reporter who
needed copy the worst way. Indeed
the story might carry a Sac City date
line deservedly. so far as meritorious-
ness from single view point is con-
cerned. But it doesn't sound true. The
reason 1t doesn't sound true is that
children born and bred in a decent
country home do not go that way to-
4 .s.,{a hot
farmer, however able to send $1,000 to
his children at 81 business school,
doesn't do It without inquiry. Human
nature is against 1t.
But these are the only reasons 1t
might not be true as related. Des
Moines had done her part to make it
true. The resort was there. The sa-
looms and the vileness of drunkenness
and prostitution are as much institu-
tons in that city as the. business col
lIege. The harpies that prey on inno-
|cence and ignorance are more numer-
GUS than the college professors, and
the shorthand teachers. Unless the de-
cency bred into humanity saved the
children, the story is true.
There is point in the story. whether
1t is true or not, that cities may well
consider-the presence of resorts and
their accessories are not the highest
recommendation to the father looking
for place to educate his children.
Another point to consider us that the
brotllels and the dives of one kind and
another are serious obstacles to the
father who wishes to rear children at
home decently and to the higher man
d hood and wonlanhood. Still more, the
balance sheet would show that one
business college, one fairly attended
school of any kind. is Infinitely more
profitable to community than all the
resorts and dens Of vice in any city
No town deserves to become a college
town that is not willing to trade its
vicious resorts for the privilege and
profit that attend on schools and COLI
leges. And until the figures have been
gone over carefully, few citizens can
understand or realize the immense
financial and commercial advantages
big school or a number Of smaller
ones afford a town or city.
Aside from the common decencies
of life that should drive out the most
glazing indecencies and vices, does the
dive pay?
