SPEAKING OF high SCHOOL GIRLS.

Mrs Young, superintendent of the
Chicago schools, said an excellent thing
the other day. Replying to an implied
criticism of the conduct of high school
girls by a speaker of high repute in
his profession before a medical associ-
alton meeting, Mrs. Young said:
'tIn the old fashioned high schools 1
think I am safe in saying there was no
girl unchasta, Yet now it appears TO
be growing Fashionable to intimate that
the girls in the high schools are not
strictly moral. This is not the truth
in Chicago, 1 know. 1t is the custom
for many girls arrested for misconduct
to say they are high school girls, but
We have vet to find one erring girl in
any institution who has passed above
the fifth grade Of our schools. 1t is
possible that now and then one may
fall-the angels in heaven fell-but 1t
is wrong to speak lightly of the
chastity of young high school girls
And this was we'll said. 1t was main
ly true. High school girls. young girls
who have had respectable parentage
and anything like a fair chance TO be-
gin with are chaste. There are no i'm
moral children whatever the thought
less may say and the ignorant believe.
Mrs. Young speaks for Chicago. Others
may speak assuredly for other towns.
big and little, and even more assuredly
for the girls of the schools OF smaller
towns and cities. Talk of immortality
in the high schools is not only unwise
but untrue and slanderous Foolish
ness and weakness are not unknown
among high school children nor for the
matter Of that among their elders, but
the men and women who lend their
voices to the general charge of un-
chasteness among high school girls are
merely repeating the mouthings of the
street loafer and the misunderstanding
OF evil minds.
Mrs Young's assertion is true: ut
is wrong to speak lightly OF the chassti-
ty of young high school girls" 1t is
wrong to speak lightly of the chastity
OF any young girl, wrong TO speak
lightly Of the chastity Of women in
general. More than that il is a sort of
villainy to which no friend of human
kind should lend tongue.

TIE PERFECT LIBERTY.


There is no genuine. dependable
service of men aside from the service
OF God. That truth is easily trans
posed so that it may read that there
is no genuine. dependable service Of
God aside from the service of men.
one thing can not be done to men and
assumeGly another thing to God and
therefrom gather the fruits Of right

for good, things true and therefore

IN THE SEVENTH.

[Des Moines Register and Leader.J
1t seems to be generally accepted
that Judge Prouty is to retire from
congress.
It seems to be generally understood
! that this retirement is not in conse-
quence of any particular dislike 1ol
congressional service. ncr because OF
any particular dissatisfaction IN the
district. On the contrary. the judge
has enjoyed his four years in Washing
ton, and has had much more success
full time of 1t than many predicted tor
him four years ago.
The rumor is current that the judges
retirement is being forced Upon him by
number Of Des Moinas politicians
who made the condition Ct their sup
port when he was first nominated tna'
he would make room for Senator Dow
ell at this time. and to insure a
prompt compliance insisted upon a
written agreement, which the judge
very unwisely gave.
This rumor has been given enough
publicity within the past few weeks to
warrant attention. II there is no fcun-
dation for it: but Senator Dowells
friends. who have gone about organic
ing the campaign for him with an air
of unquestioned assurance that would
seem to have something behind 1t, nave
refused to confirm or deny.
The time has come for frank. open
statement about the matter. for it VIII
not down; on the contrary, ii Will grow
more embarrassing for everybody the
longer it is allowed to run. II Judge
Prouty is quitting public life because
his hand was forced in the trying time
Of his first candidacy, he has nothing
to lose by telling his friends his real
reason for refusing to again be can
didate If Senator Dowell's friends were
so shortsighted as to thir.K they could
force a contract upon Judge Prouty,
that would foreclose the :ituation. the
more promptly they confess judgment
and throw themselves on the mercy
of the district the better.
The Register and Leader does not
appear as the champion Of Judge
Prouty. nor as the advocate of lohg
terms of service in congress-. Neither
is it going out of its way TO put stones
in the path OF Senator Dcwells ambi-
ton. But the Register end Leader in
these days OF putting 1t Up to the peo-
pie" does not propose by 'ts silence to
contribute in any way to the further
exploitation Of the old back closet

the LESSON OF THE WORLDS SERIES.

The annual orgasm if baseball is on
in full force, the world series is being
played and from Maine u Mexico the
United States stops once day to listen
and look while eighteen men dispute
over little ball worth a dollar and
half at retail.
Well. now, why not? Some excite
ment and outside interest the average
man must have. 1t belongs TO him. 1t
keeps him healthy mentally, keeps him
human. And can any one name a bet
ter game or cleaner spor. than base
ball? Not prize fighting, surely tho
that is one of the elementary sports
which attract men. Not horse racing
which has the same element of at
traction in it. For these latter are
Siimed with the hands of GO mblers and
their value double crossed to the pub
lie by crooks. Baseball, every boys
game is every mans interest and when
the eighteen who have been selected
to finish under the rule of the survival
of the fttest clash in the final contest
for supremacy what wonder that the
bulletin boards are crowded and that
young and old seek the thrill of the
spectator?
1t ought 10 teach us something If
the game is worth all that it is worth
preserving, not as a professional pas
time but for the boys who will be born
and who will find themselv shut out
Of the great American game thru la ok
of opportunity TO play it. That is what
it is coming to. The baseball grounds
have disappeared. They are overed by
buildings. There remains no place for
baseball in the average small city And
1t is a good game. developer of man
illness and muscle. 1t is altogether too
good a game to lose for its own value
and in view OF the sports and games
which are certain to force themselves
in as substitutes for it.
The enthusiasm displayed by the de-
voices Of baseball needs to go farther
than the excitement consequent upon
professional contest waged by pro-
fessionals for pay and managed to
monetary profit. If the game is worth
so much why shouldn't the boys Of this
year and next and the years after have
place to play it in?
