the sacred and hidden parts of life
may be freely talked in the parlor
but that it should not be talked un
necessarily free even in secret.
There are times of course when the
girl must have some things explained
and times when the boy will ash
questions which give the liberal per
son the chance of his life to tread or
forbidden grounds, but explaining ad
olescence does not necessarily NEAR
that you must tell all that will follow
the true adult period. Only naked
tribes in the jungles or swamps can
converse on these subjects with that
| freedom that some people would now
have us undertake. The swamp folks
talk it less than We do here in our
civilized haunts.
The unagain-born youth must be
guarded. From the moment his
primer is put under his arm and he
is headed for the school room, some
body must have cardinal point in
view for him and the first one of
these to come into his life is Adde'S
cence. AS everything in the early
holy writings point forward to the
cross of Christ, so must everything
in the young child's life be made to
center in his cross, which is the day
of his adolescence, and he who al
lows his child to be prostituted at
his cross, allows him to be crucified
then and there.

At the door of his house I was met
by girl eleven years of age. She

information that she was entirely
prepared to talk intelligently up on
the subject. saw no blush on her
face, but she could have noticed
something akin to it on mine.
I tried to get away, but the eleven
year old girl told me she would
"open the ball" just to show me that
she was wise to things. Well, she
did open the ball" by telling me that
a certain surgical operation was at
that hour being performed on her

Better tag around after her now

old girl to bed at nine and let her

than to have her drift into the sea
of unrest. Our children know too
much. Your eleyen-year-old girl will
surprise you by telling you some
things your mother didn't know at
twenty-five. Your ten-year-old son
is very wise to his shame. The
youth today will talk as glibly on
certain matters as talked your broth
ers at twenty-five. The slightest hint
at certain facts will be picked up by
a ten-year-old child today, that would
have passed unnoticed by your moth

Walla Walla. Testimony introduced
by the government showed that
Griffin tried to carry out the regular
program of real white SLAYER" but
that the girl was rescued and brought
back to her home. She was finally
brought to the Children's Home Find
ing society in Boise where she has
been for several months.
Girl Admitted Forgery
Griffin has worked in Nampa and
Is known there where he has always
borne good reputation, according
to witnesses for the defense. He is
21 years old, while she Is about II
years of age. Though the girl ad-
mitted that she had forged the
check, her foster father promptly
paid it and no further steps will be
taken by anybody to punish her for
that offense against the state law.
Youth Saved Him
In giving Griffin the sentence, the
court declared that he was influenced
simply out of consideration for his
youth. The defendant made a state
ment to the court in which he blamed
the girl for the whole affair and
charged the government with pick
ing him out of several with whom she
had been acquainted because he was
the youngest.
"Your youth is the only thing
that appeals to me for clemency,"
said the court. "The evidence that
has been introduced here shows con-
clusively that you attempted to make
the girl a commercial proposition.
Men everywhere regard that as the
lowest depths of immortality to which
a human being can sink. l have
been astonished through the entire
course of this trial that one so young
could go SO far in apparently so short
a time"

ance that promptly followed, where
upon she went even deeper into the
cause and effect that had made II
necessary for her mother to go into
the valley and shadow of death on
the operating table, and just last
week the papers in the capital city
told us a stupendous crime that
has been permitted against the life
of the youth in the neighboring city,
and to the door of this diabolical
mistake may be traced ninety-eight
per cent of all the published shame
of Boise youths.
The unborn-again youth knows
nothing of the Christ save that which
he has read. No flesh outside of the
Christ Is safe. No amount of dis
cussion will make this anything but
true. No amount of discussion will
true. He who teaches otherwise than
this betrays his Master with kiss.
The scripture remarks that "As is
the mother, SO is the daughter" The
holy writ might with equal truth go
on and say LASS is the father, so ass
the son." and on this basis the aver
age parent should know too well to
entrust the child with an implement
so dangerous as that one that cut
the throat Of Adams peace in the
Garden of Eden.
Not only on the school grounds is
there danger for your child, but dan
ger is where 1t is found.
My drunk man said the sheep have
chaperons, the flocks nave their ad-
mirals and that technical men are
spoiled by neglect, but the child is
often ruined by knowledge.
The unborn-again youth must not
be handed over to that history fitted
for only born-again adult life, and
much of that adult life We have about
us on every side is unborn-again and
unfit for the kingdom, and how shall
we escape if we entrust innocent
childhood to the guidance of that
which is only wreckage in the first
place?

SLAVE CASE
(Statesman)

(StateSman)
After deliberating on the case only
15 minutes, the jury in the federal
court yesterday afternoon returned a
verdict of guilty against Lloyd Grif-
fin, charged with the transportation
of woman from one state to an
other for immoral purposes. A few
minutes later Judge Frank s. Die
trich had sentenced him to Is months
in the federal penitentiary at Fort
Leavenworth.
The government brought out
through the course of the trial that
Griffin had become intimate with
Alice Bisset of Nampa, and that after
he had gone on to WalIa Walla, he
had written to her to come on to
him there. It was testified that she
forged her foster fathers name to
a $50 check to get the money and
that she made her way to him in
