Critic.
TO YOUNG MOTHER."-The let
ter signed "A Young Mother, which
appeared in the Forum, is surprising
and, l must confess, hUmiliating to
me.
Have men become so selfish and
hypOcritical that they would throw
stones upon a girl on account of her
past life? How many men can say
that there is nothing in their lives
that might be criticized if looked
upon it in the same manner.
Many a girl has a past and the
world knows nothing about it. If
Young Mother has been more UnfOr-
tunate, she is to be pitied on account
of the scOrn Of her pure" sister, but
no man with common sense and
enough honesty to confess his own
past will respect her any less for her
mistake.
1t is the present that counts, and
not the past. Let the dead ones bury
the dead and bygones be bygOnes.
Even nature herself, the most meT-
CHESS lawgiver, will forgive and for
get sins committed against her COM
mands. AS DR.. Hall puts it: mo
matter how much you have violated
the laws of nature, if you begin to
obey them, ike a merciful mother,
she heals all wounds with a kiss"
Why should man set a standard
for the other half of humanity which
he himself is not willing to obey?
How about it, fellows? Come on,
boys. Let's make it unanimous
AIois Knapp.

mately 100000 aeropIanes, according

Fifth Days Meeting Runs True to Form and Lit tie Competition
 Furnished

Columbus, o., September 21.-Four class events were raced this afternoon in the fifth days meeting of the Grand Circuit and ,in every event a favorite was victor, in sharp contrast to the de- feat of well played first choices on pre- vious days.
