The Dangerous Path


and parents do not often enough warn
or instruct the innocent and ignorant
youth about it.
Any every year the shadow falls on
some Canon City home and mother
is brought to face a grief greater by
far than any death could bring.
Why this false modesty and the
fear to look the danger square in the
face? For my part cannot tell.
But this do know, that the path
speak of has more dangers and sees
more horrors every year than VIC
would see If the pathway to the school
house led along the very brink at the
top of the Royal Gorge and all school
children had to go that way.
Now then, how can your club help
to remedy this greatest of all evils is
our town today?
must iTduhiy Sdy w hoe hho".
But believe that if forty good wo-
men started out earnestly to try 70
find remedy to protect the youth OF
our city that much igood s.Eould be
done. It might Ibe,py education, or by
more restrictions. Or by agitation. o.
by better supervision or by personal
persuasion or by helping to find homes
for the homeless but some way ought
to be found.
We spend a lot of sympathy every
year over the tales in the press of
how some white SLAYER gets a Greek
immigrant in his tolls. We contribute
money every year for rescue work in
the big cities. We know there is dan
ger over there-we read about it. But
what of our own little town?
Is 1t worth while to look the prob
lem here square in the face and to
see II something cannot be done to-
keep the shadow from some neigh
bor's home?
1 have heard of a man who fell
over a high rocky precipice and lived
l have never heard of a young woman
who fell to the depths who returned.
The time to rescue them is before
they fall.
Now IL you think l have drawn too
dark a picture or that the danger is
not here, ask you to go down town
few nights between ten o'clock and
one Keep your eyes open and see the
young girls on the street. Not many
perhaps, but too many And ask the
night marshal, ask the physician, ask
the liverystable man, ask the driver
OF the midnight automobile, ask the
rooming house keeper. ask the man
whose business 1t is to be out late az
night-but always keep your eyes
open.
And tell me this-if a little good
could be done along this line in what
other field OF endeavor would any
amount of effort count for SO much?

Tears are trembling on my lashes az

At the very youngness of her; just a
little girl she seems:
Smiling at me from the distance,
singing TO me in my dreams
Lullabies we. all remember; but l
mostly see her face
Smiling through the clouds of steam
that almost hide the old wash
place. ~
Sometimes in my dreams a dogwood
blossom glimmers in her hair,
And / hear a redbird whistle. and the
dream is free from care
Then man comes in the picture like
a dream, and goes away
Waving to the little mother from the
ranks of men in gray;
And from then the dogwood blossoms
never glimmer any more,
And the redbird sings no longer
round the wash place as of yore.
Three of us--and just the little bit o.
mother to the BROOD
Singing while her heart was breaking
in the woodland solitude
With the homely tubs and kettle and
the soap gourd and the stick
The old battling stick, The memory
catches at my throat SO quick
That scarce can choke the sob back.

We must help to bear, the burden

with her heart bowed down with

Canon City. He prepared his notes bu,
couldn't be present, so his talk is pub
lished here by request. The remarks
are worth reading by every member
of every club in Canon City and also
by otter women)
If pathway led along the edge Of
a steep precipice overlooking the riv-
er and every year one or two or three
Canon City children fell over the
precipice and were heard of no more,
it would become the concern of every
man and woman in town. The horror
of it all would rack our souls and
keep people awake nights.
Every effort possible would be
made to protect the youth of the city
from the danger.
The newspapers would talk about
it; the women's clubs would discuss
it; ministers would preach about it:
every city authority would interest
himself in it and parents would in
struct their children of the dangers
of the river bank path.
If the path along the precipice
could not be abandoned every safe
guard would be thrown about it in an
effort to reduce the danger AND loss
Of life 70 "a minimum. .1FG
You do not for one moment imagine
that the interest about this dangerous
way would be confined only to those
families who had lost child-we
would all make 1t our business to see
if we could not prevent all future
loss.
There is. however, pathway in
Canon City which leads along the side
of dismal abyss, more dangerous
than any rock-cleft precipice that
could be described and 1t is being fol-
lowed by many an innocent, or near
innocent girl today. Every year. for
many years. some fair daughter. the
pride of some Canon mothers home
has plunged over and has been lost
forever.
II any half dozen people will mere
ly recall the number OF losses known
to them during the last fifteen years
the number who have gone out from
the homes OF our little community,
never more to be seen among good
people again-the result will stagger
the most unconcerned.
The path I refer to is OF course. the
unspeakable one. II is not premittc1
that ministers should preach about 1t
or newspapers write about it. without
fear Of being misunderstood or criti-
cised. Womens Clubs do not discuss
it. town authorities do not take it up
