Current Comment


H.|....... W. OSSsb 100 .I'.. 1874.
In today's mail we get two grand,
good ideas; two somewhat novel
views of life problems which, II uni
vcrsally adopted and lived up to, would
mean revolution such as the world
has not yet seen.
Mrs. Anna sempIe. a California
woman, takes into her homo the girl
whom her husband betrayed, and
would befriend her until she "gets
straight with life again." Mrs. Sem
ple believes that women are too ready
to scorn the woman who is down; all
women should stand by each other"
Suppose that women should stand
by the fallen women as men stand by
the fallen man. 1t would put an end
to the obsession that there is a fe-
male morality and a male morality.
wouldn't it? Yes, it would smash the
double standard" and more men
would live clean lives. What a ire
mendous social revolution If, when a
woman falls, the ome should think
and act as C%hristianlike as they do
toward fallen men
