JUDGE WARRANTED IN
SENTENCE IMPOSED

ED E. LEAKE, United States
appraiser-Mr. and Mrs. ]. p.
Diggs were next door neighbors
TO my family in Woodland for
many years. One OF the young
women in the case Is a native OF
Woodland and her father was en-
gagged in business there for long
time. and when he left carried
with him the good wishes and
high esteem of all with whom he
was acquainted. The Caminettis
have for long time been our
warm personal friends 1t is
therefore delicate matter to
discuss the comments made by
Judge Van Fleet in passing SEN
tence upon Maury Dlggs and
Drew Caminetti. and I can only
Go SO in a general way.
without expressing any opin-
Ion as to the merits of the case
may say / am opposed to any
oouble standard of morals. No
one viii deny that a crime had
been committed against society
and the home, but the RESPONSE
biiity should be fixed fairly and
impartialIy. and there should be
no discrimination in melting out
the punishment If the law per
mits that 1t should be amended.
From my point of view. Judge
Van Fleet is fully warranted in
holding the opinion that but for
the laxity In social conditions and
the failure to exercise proper par
entail control over the two young
women the crime which has
wrecked four families and cast
such blight over the lives of ALI
those who were in any way re-
lated to it would never have oc-
Cured.
Mothers who willfully neglect
TO exercise proper control over
their daughters. and who make
no effort to restrain them from
the indulgence in amusements and
practices that have a tendency to
weaken home Influences and make
home and healthful moral asso-
Citations unpleasant and distaste-
ful are In great measure re-
sponsible for social conditions
that make such crimes possible.
1t was, no doubt, q consideration
OF these phases of the question
that influenced Judge Van Fleet
TO remark that the crime which
these young men must expiate is
essentially one OF opportunity.

MOTHERS ASLEEP, SAYS
PROBATION OEFLCER

MISS MARY CONLIS. assistant
probation officer in charge Of the
girls department-There is GER
tainly great lack of training for
girls. but it is partly because the
parents are so apt to be too trust
ing.
The mothers say: My girl is
safe. She is a good girl. and can
Look out for herself. And per-
haps her girl is autOmobiiing off
to the beach without a chaperon
or going to dance halls or some
place where she Is in all kinds of
danger.
Mothers are too apt to judge
conditions of the present day by
those which existed when they
were girls. Some of them do not
keep abreast of the times, l am
afraid.
When you talk to them they
will declare that they don't know
about this thing of so many temp
tations now. There was not so
much of that sort of thing when
they were young, and they don't
believe matters have changed ma
terially since then. In that way
they excuse their lack of super
vision when you speak to them
about il.
Then the mothers are so often
afraid that the girls will think
they are distrusting them, and
they fear to antagonize their
daughters.
Of course, if the mothers could
manage to be more companionable
with their daughters they could
let the girls see that they do not
sdistrust them, but are simply ex-
ercising a wise supervision. The
mothers have been asleep really
.sfn many instances, I think; but
matters like these cases are wax
ezing them, and 1 think that SUI
pervision of girls will become
more geaeral.

GOOD FATHERS NEEDED,
SAYS TO KAL0N LEADEF

MRS. r. W. THOMPSON, leader
civic section of To Kalon-Lack
of parental training from fathers
for their sons is the prime cause
of the trouble in the Diggs-Cam-
inetti cases. and in all like in
stances.
Mothers practically all train
their children TO be good. but
fathers excuse their sons IN a way
that they never do their daugh-
ters.
Good fathers are more of
necessity just now than almost
g anything else. When men are
trained from their boyhood UP TO
manhood to realize that all women
should he sacred matters they
will be on a very different plane

With young girls many things

feel very strongly on this sub
ject, as I have always been in
very close contact with many
girls. And I have known many Of
them who had the very best of
times, but always gave their COM
pletest confidence to their moth
ers. That was because the moth
ers showed the right sort Of in

well.
There is much in the work of any
grade that is important but not vital
All that is essential for promotion is
that he can do the essential features

be expected TO do them with his
talents
1t is OF no consequence whether or
not he has learned all the stuff that
you wanted him to learn about ASIA
Africa, or Australia whether or not
he can give your formula in the so
luton of a problem, not even whet-
her or not he has done the best he
could do, or has tried his best to do
his best-are you sure that in all
things you could answer that test?
1t was your business to have him
get such of the essentials as are
most important for the work of the
next grade. 1t was your business TO
have him ready for promotion.
1t is not simply that you send him
forward; oh, no, but you got him
