told over day by day, with tears
and with sneers. But the pity of
it, the terribleness and wasteful-
ness and pity Of it all. And we go
of nights past the dark stairways
whence comes the whispering of
girlish voices. see the childish maid
ems wandering at will here and
there the helpless prey Of every
proving animal and wonder how
God came to entrust girl soul to
such parents as theirs must be.
Sympathize with them as we
must, the parents Of the young girl
who goes wrong are in ninety-fiye
cases out of the hundred the per-
sons most responsible for her down
fall. Whether it be carelessness or
that idiocy of management into
which some fathers and mothers
twist love for their children the
cold fact remains that the fault is
more at home than elsewhere. 1t is
idle to rail at conditions in general,
unjust to blame schools and other
institutions which have partial
care of the children while the care
lessness of fathers and the laxity or
foolish fondness of mothers operate
with natural impulses to the wreck
age of morals and lives.
Overdress, and under work, lack
of any responsibility in the home or
abroad, social idiocy, the natural
desire for a good time and the par
entail weakness which listens to the
plea that the Soandso girls don't
have to tell their folks where they
are going and where and with
whom they have been, too much
running wild and not enough house
work, the theory that Il had to
work hard when I was a girl and
my girls simply shan't,' picture
shows, theaters, dances and spoony
seances until midnight, and break
fast after the rest have gone to
work, these are some of the main
circumstances which lie behind the
pitiful story which runs from lip to
lip, whispered in families, canvass
ed loudly in the pool rooms and liv-
ed in an agony of shame in the
home where its shadow settles.
But the utter pity of it, the sad
unutterable pity OF It!

It also appears to me that when
prejudices persist obstinately it is
the fault of nobody SO much as
those who make point Of proclaim

for never joining in an attempt to
remove them. Any prejudice what

who do not share in it themselves
truckle to it and flatter it and &C

THE PITY OF 1T.

Times Republican: The finest
thing that walks the earth is q
young and innocent girl. When
God, out Of his perpetual kindness
and loving mercy, gives girl baby
to family He has granted one OF
the supreme gifts OF his power.
Nothing in all the world approaches
in purity Of physical beauty and
sweetness OF mind the innocence Of
girlhood. 1t is as sacred as the ark
Of the covenant, holy thing to be
kept in tenderness and guarded
with fidelity. With girl baby is
born infinite possibilities of good
ness or Of impurity. In the travail
of childbirth is born responsibility
Of parenthood, not alone the respon-
sibility of parentage but a general
responsibility for the training and
teaching and guarding of that child
from evil which rests upon every
decent man and woman in the COM
munity and state and nation. For
as we are our brothers keeper 50
are we parents and guardians of all
children.
But how much do we realize this
responsibility? The streets of every
city after nightfall are moving
pictures OF parental and neighbor-
hood irresponsibility and denial Of
the claims OF childhood. The story
nf the Young girl gone wrong is

There is scarcely a doubt but

It is one OF the faults Of custom

IoWA,s OPPORTUNITY.

Des Moines Capital: The Regis
ter and Leader this morning Joins
The Capital in a strong editorial de.
mand for iowa republicans to speed
lily unite in the interests of the
movement to present the name OF
Senator A. B. Cummins as the logi-
cal nominee Of the Chicago national
convention. .
Few believe that either Taft OF
Roosevelt will have enough to nom
mate on the first ballot.
No one imagines for a moment
that there will be any compromise
between the two. The Chicago con.
vention, realizing the incalculable
harm already done to the republican
cause by factionalism and bitter
strife, will hardly permit any aggra-
vations of this situation by a pro-
longed convention deadlock.
The convention will Immediately
begin the consideration of third
man. It is useless to deny that
Senator Cummins comes nearer to
measuring up to the qualifications
of compromise candidate than any
man now being considered.
Iowa occupies large and influ-
entail place in the thought of the
nation. For nearly half century
she has been recognized as the home

II the national committee ignores
the merit Of contests and seats dele
gates merely because they are for
Taft the republican party will meet
the most pronounced defeat at the
polls in November in the history Of
political parties, as it will deserve.

the national committee, if it per-
mits its. prejudices to control, will
aid in the theft. In some OF the
counties in Washington primaries
were held and Taft was SO badly
beaten that he didn't have a look
in. In one county Roosevelt beat
him forty to one and LaFollelle de-
feated him badly in the same coun-
ty. In a statewide primary Wash
ington would have been Roosevelt's
by tremendous popular majority.
Yet Taft and his henchmen are hop
ing, with the aid of the national
committee, to secure the vote OF
Washington. 1t is one of the most
fragrant and outrageous attempts to
thwart the viii of the people ever
concocted in the history of the re-
public.
John OConnor, a wealthy bach
elor, says he believes it to be the du-
ty of every bachelor who can afford
it to adopt children. He himself has
taken six within the shelter of his
foster parental wing. -Four years ago
he adopted little Johnny Meder,
then ten years old. A year later a
mother died on ranch in Montana.
She left five bright, handsome
daughters. Mr.. O'Connor brought
them all to Chicago and took the re-
sponsibility OF raising them. He says
he couldn't get along without the
children News Item.
Mr.. O'Connor has solved the mys-
terry. A great many people have
wondered what an cold bach" is
good for and now comes one from
Chicago and demonstrates by actual
works that they can fill place in
the world. There are many rich
bachelors throughout the country
who would find genuine happiness in
doing as Mr.. O'Connor has done, and
at the same time perform work
that would be of great benefit-the
beneficial results extending through
generations to come. But Mr.. O'Con-
nor is the first bachelor Of the kind
to get his name in the newspapers
and it may be there are no more
like him in the whole world.

EDITORS AS CANDIDATES

EDITORS AS CANDIDATES.
Story City Herald: The way LATE
Young was showed under shows
once more that the man who edits
q paper that amounts to anything
has no business being a candidate
for public office. The Daily Capital
has performed great public SER
vice during the past year in expos
ing the illegal acts of supervisors,
the extravaganza of school directors
and the inefficiency Of town coun-
cilmen, but every act of this kind
meant powerful enemies for the edi-
tor of the paper. And that they
were not slow to take advantage Of
an opportunity ''to get even," the
election returns show. Still, it is
probable that the state of Iowa will
gain as much by having LATE Young
in Des Moines as it would have gain
ed by sending him to Washington.
"A man in office has his hands more
or less tied; he has to have his ears
continually turned to the fellows
who deliver the votes" A news
paper publisher, however, can go on
his sweet way and put in his ticks
for the public veal where they will
do the most good, without regard to
the wire pullers and political ma
nipulators. So here's more power
to your editorial pen, Bro. Young!
RoosEvELT's FRIENDS AND
FOES.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: The
fellows who oppose Roosevelt are
for the most part ,sticklers for pre-
cedents and against reforms gener-
ally.
The men who are for Roosevelt
include largely those who have no.
ted carefully his career from police
commissioner in New York on
down through to his refusal to ac-
cept what would have counted as a
third consecutive term In the presi-
dency.
Jacob Riis, in his lectures given
through the country, uses stere-
opticon lantern with which he
shows pictures taken in New York
back in the eighties and nineties of
old rookeries and disease infested
quarters. After Roosevelt's regime
as police commissioner these spots
were photographed again. This
time they showed beautiful parks
and sanitary tenements surrounding
great playground courts filed with
happy children. Roosevelt is de-
stroyer of evil conditions and a
builder OF clean institutions. He is
a man of tremendous energy, and a
fair view Of his whole career shows
that his heart is in the right place
and of large capacity.
Roosevelt's friends sweep away
the petty objections of his critics.
His supporters, his campaign con-
tributions. his third term declara-
tons, his robust language, the
OF his policies, his i'm
portance-all these are swept into
the rubbish heap by his admirers as
of no more consequence than fies,

.BUT THREE COLUMNS ON N. d.
PRESIDENTIAL BALLOT.

Bismarck, Sept. 30.-There will
be but three columns on the official
ballot at the election this fall, Re-
publican, Democratic and individ-
ual nominations. That is the decis-
ion of Secretary of State Norton and
it is backed up by an opinion from
the attorney general. The attorney
general and secretary of state held
there were only two national parties
entitled to recognition in the state,
all others will be relegated to the
column for individual nominations.
AS there have been named by in
dividual nomination five electors
each by the Progressive, Prohibition
ist, and Socialist parties, these fifteen
names will all be run in the third
column, the voter picking out the
five for whom he desires to cast his
ballot
