GAIESBURG, H., Jan. 20.--Julia
Flake the pretty l5-year-old school
girl, who confessed her part in the
pact that resulted In the Staying Of
her mother. Mrs. Robert Flake Hig.
gins. was taken 10 Aledo today and
placed In custody OF a probation OH
Ger. She probably will escape prose
cution.
The confession OF her stepfather,
Robert Higgins, that he shot the
girls mother because OF his infatua
ton for Julia. brought no display Of
emotion from the girl. But she in
dlgnanuy denied she had promised to
marry Higgins after he slew her
mother. and told the county authori-
ties that only the discovery by her
mother OF her relations with heT step
father prompted her TO play the part
she did in the crime
Higgins appeared greatly relieved
today and told the states attorney he
was glad the story was off his mind.
In It's principal details his statement
cOrroborated that made by the girl
lie shot his wife, be said, while she
was reading a newspaper, and then
worked himself into frenzy of APP

bors OF his innocence.

we Are All a Bad LOt---
English Author Says So"

Mr. Begbie believes that the beset-
ting sin OF cur aga IS the materiallstic
thought that "impurity is natural and
that purity is unnatural" Hence has
sprung tolerance Tor evil. Hence
has come the widespread opinion that
women are thus and thus and have
been so from ancient times.
Women are what men force them
to be- they make pretense TO be what
men desire them 70 be"
AS overwhelming evidence OF this
statement Mr. Begbe cites Woman $
completely In the social evil her ac-
Quiescence in the modern doctrine or
materialism which he describes IA a
belief that life is a jig and spree.
or course. this is profoundly true.
II ever the human race attains the
moral level OF what IL thinks OF as the
lower animals" the greatest reform liz
the history OF the world Will have
taken place. The female OF the spe-
cies-eyery species save the human
is naturally profoundly mJral. she
lives TO care for her offspring. She
Is economically independent. She has
no use for the male save as fa;her
and all the sex crimes of civilization
are unknown to her.
II remained for the so-cslled lord
of creation" TO invent the social
eva" and the moral and physical dis
eases 20 which it has given birth.
But while Mr. Regb;e nnds gloom
in the words OF the seer | read In It
message OF great hope for the world
and particularly for our own country.
For more and more American men
arc realizing that II you put woman
on pedestal" you merely afford her
an extra good view OF what Is going
on below and that a great many wom-
eli in these times insist on vacating
their pedestals to sweep up around the
