The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1911-01-20


society don't demand it.
Did We ever hear lot Of women when
they got together,
At a quiltln err an "aid" society er
some sort % meetin .er other,
An they didn'tknow that you'saround
an you'd hear what they'd say
About some poor unfortunate gal who
had fallen by the way,
Some dear old sister would Civ her a
start then they'd all keep shown
an shown,
Jes like they wanted to git her away
ez fer ez possible from Heaven.
Someone would say wouldn't speak
eff I'd meet her face to face"
Another, "She can't associate with
my gals ner set foot on our place."
But they never said nuthin about the
boys an alus thought they orter
An jes like ez not the one that's to
blame they'd invite to call on
their darter.
Now that poor gal wouldn't do no
thing to hurt her darter bit,
But you know ez we'll ez | do that,
that onery Teller might.
An still its hard to blame the boys ez
much ez we realy-O rt
Fer the most of them's brought up to
think that sort % sins is smart.
Virtue amt drilled into them from
the time they're three er four
Till they grow up an their heads er
so full they won't hold ANYMORE.
An eff parents I'D only think % this an
commence on them in time,
1t might save them man, a heart-ache
an their boys from many crime.
Be keerful what you say fer many a
gals been slandered that is per-
fectly innocent,
An sometime the knave who started
it will receive just punishment,
So don't be too harsh in your judg-
ment till you ponder this matter
WE'LL
One thoughtless act of yours might
help consign some soul to the
depths of hell,
Or course we don't know what'el be
done er what the punishment will
be
But jes believe 1t ell be worse than
hell an last thru eternity,
Fer l can't think of a thing bad
enough to do to an ornery cuss
That would besmirch the name of an
innocent gal an drag it in the dirt,
To make him feel the remorse an the
enormity of his crime.
But there's a God above who will at
tend to sin an heel git his some
time,
An eff gal goes wrong regardless of
her course,
You'll find some man to blame an that
his character was worse
Fer before she met him she was ez
innocent ez a mournin dove.
An to accomplish his purpose he first
had to win her love,
The gal had his persuasiOns, her pas
sions an love fer him to fight,
An put their souls up side by side an
his would be black ez night.
An there's another class o fellers that
is almost ez bad,
Who stand right up an lie about the
conqueSts they have made
An tarnish the name of some pure
gal that they probably tried to
side
But failed an in order to get even
they jes stood up an lied.
An eff one o them ever succeeds in
pursuading God to save his soul,
He'll be mighty sight buster than a
hound at a rabbit hole
Fer many a good gals been drug down
to a life of shame,
Jes by some low browed scallowag at
lacking her good name.
It's strange but true you'll find in
every town, that some
GOOD women" are active In helping
to drag her down,
Fer they'll start with Jus a suspicion
err something somebody said
That somebody else told somebody
they wuz sure that she wuz bad.
Till the whole towns In an uproal
wherever the poor gal goes,
An likely 1t wuz started by the moth.
er of gal who had no beaux.
Sech things has happened many time
right under my observation,
An many a gals been worried to death
by jes sech defamation.
So | believe that IL would be best ell
you think a gals about to fall,
To give her boost, say something
good, OF else say nothing at al
Fer there's time comm by an by
when we'll have to swear
