Why Girls Go Wrong.

Omaha, Neb.. Feb. 2.-To the Edi-
tor Of The Bee: Much is being said
about the social evil and the under
world In our daily papers. As man
OF large family and many years of
travel In many states and cities / am
convinced Judge Fosters conclusion
that fallen women lead the life be-
cause they prefer it" is near the truth,
though every rule has its exception.
Ignorance and the low moral stand
ards Of the rising generation has much
to do with it. The public dance hall
and drink is the next big factor. A
false idea as to the value of fine
clothes, which is only another form
OF ignorance, Is also a factor.
No matter how we may differ as
to the cause of so many fallen women,
what is the best way to aid in pre-
venting that vast army of constant
recruits? | suggest that parents teach
their sons and daughters all the mys-
teries of life as early as they become
curious to know. Show them the
beauty of fatherhod and motherhood
let mothers keep their young daugh-
tiers off the streets and fathers keep
their sons interested in athletics and
away from the public dance hall.
Guard with Jealous care our children,
inculcate high ideals of morality and
teach that character is the standard of
manhood and womanhood.
By knowing the evils and pitfalls
our children can be brought to the
age of manhood and womanhod
where they are able to take care of
themselves. Is it not ignorance that
would cause any young girl to go auto
ing with strange young men? Would
any but an ignorant girl permit the
fast immoral young man to grab
round hen with both arms and she
place both arms around his neck, then
seal their cheeks together and go on
the dance floor in that vulgar position
Another thing worthy of careful
study is the separation of our boys
and girls in the high school. A care
full investigation of conditions in our
high schools revealed some very start
ling facts. Why should immature
young men and women be thrown
together daily for the four years of
high school life? How many of the
high school children have not some
love affair on hand?
But why dwell upon the matter
longer? There always has been and
always will be those "Magdelines,"
mostly by choice secondly through ig-
norance, but let every young man and
woman get this firmly fixed in mind:
The fast life leadeth to misery, de-
spair, disease and often suicide. Just
remember: 'The hiring of harlot
Is an abomination in the sight of the
Lord" A TRAVELLING MAN.
No Violation Of that Sacred Code.

If We Are To Spread
the Spirit, Why Begin i.
< To Crush 1t At Home!

Sixteen women, among them woman
Of our own city, were thrown into JAN IN
the national capital the other day Tor
warning their government against iaiiihg
into the ways of darkest Russia.
They paraded the streets of Washing
tom. carving banners, calling attention
10 their cause.-the right to vote.
They paraded knowing they would be
thrown into Jail for it, on some charge
which developed to be that of obstructlng
traffic.
There is something the matter with the
Americanism of the man who does not
admire the spirit and the pluck Of these
women.
His understanding of the meaning OF
his flag is defective if he will venture the
opinion that they were not within then
constitutional rights.
And there is no disposition at all on
his part to be fair if he refuses to admit
that the throwing of these women INTO
iail was done in an effort to BREAK
THEIR SPIRIT.
Our government is found on dangerous
ground here.
It has contracted for job that calls
upon all the spirit we have, INTACT.
It needs all the American spirit OF men
and all the American spirit of women
to wage this fight for democracy sue
cessfully.
It is dangerous to trife with 1t to the
extent of trying to break it anywhere. 1t
is the thing that must be counted on to
WIN THE WAR.
That which we hope to scatter to the
very corners of the world, is the spirit OF
democracy, guaranteeing freedom and
the representation of independence.
It is most certainly the time for be-
thinning it, on behalf of these women,
rather than for crushing it, at home.

The Food Gamblers Are
Gambling Just AS If We
Had No Congress At All

That the food spectators have in cold
storage over 80 million pounds OF poul-
try, 30 millions of cured and 30 OF
frozen meats, and eggs almost without
number. doesn't tell the whole story, by
a long shot. Notwithstanding the enor-
nous increase of such storage over last
years.
All of this stored stuff has been bought
by the SPECTATORS at heavy advances
on last years prices.
Mr.. Consumer. recall last years prices.
Sky high, weren't they?
Well. the food spectators are betting
that you will pay higher this year.
We have a war on our hands, this year,
with a foreign demand for food stutfs
that's bound TO be simply wolfish.
Our grain is going abroad as never be-
fore.
Poultry eats grain.
Our allies and our own soldiers must
have meats.
Meat that goes into cans doesn't go
onto ordinary tables
If you have to pay So per 100 lbs. for
chicken feed, you eat your chickens
rather than board them along for their
eggs. and hence 40-cent eggs enter cold
storage today to emerge as 80-cent eggs
in December.
Upon these things the food spectators
have gambled as never before, and they
win your money.
That is to say, they win your money
unless you let UP on eating poultry,
meat and eggs. or there is government
food control at a very early date.
You can have meatless days and par
alySe the gamblers, easily.
Congress can give us food control leg
islation and accomplish the same result.
Congress has almost got as far as
whisky and beer but it must vet discuss
why do girls 90 wrong?" Where's the
lost Charlie Ross?" and other matters
germane to the food question before Civ
INC Us food control
The food gamblers are betting big
money that there will be plenty of fools
20 paw 80 cents for bacon and 90 cents
for storage eggs and that congress won't
give government control enough TO at All

business Of skinning folks who viii stand

The Children of Dishonesty
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

Dishonesty might not be so bad il il
did not breed. We wouldn't object to it
so much if it were not for its family.
But when it is present in the mind it is
as prolific as house fly, and its progeny
as pestiferous. Let us make the ac-
quaintance of few of them.
It's eldest and first-born son is Fear.
When you have stolen dollar from your
employers till, or told your mother you
were at school when you were playing
hockey, or cheated at cards or said you
had been to Rome when you never have
been east of Nantucket, the trouble is
that you Immediately are possessed by
the fear that you will be found out.
Truth fits 1.-The scheme of things en-
tire" For lie you have to imagine a
new order. This requires creative
genius, besides a constant watchfulness
lest you forget
A dishonest person Is like one with
thorn in his foot. His contentment is
spoiled. His quiet Of mind is destroyed.
He becomes irritable. His nerves suffer.
Fear. to greater or less degree, be-
comes his inseparable companion. And
fear is a bore and nuisance.
Another of Dishonestys offspring is
Contempt. There are some people
whom it is a comfort to detest, but your
self is not among them.
You can keep away from other dis
agreeable folks, but yourself you cannot
escape You are always with you. And
what condition can be more wretched
than to have TO nurse unremittingly
little secret sore of chagrin, to know that
Whatever others may think of you, you
think Of yourself as contemplate!
Honesty is to be recommended as the
virtue nearest contentment.
And again, whatever unpleasantness
maybe incident to being honest, it all
comes at first and at once, and you are
done with it. It's like paying cash; it
may not be easy to do, but when done it's
done and there's no worry ahead. Dis
honesty is a charge account; by it we
weekly cumulate trouble for the future,
and the longer the day Of wrath Is de-
ferred the worse it is. So if you've done
wrong, out with it and let's have it over.
so we can kiss and make up
Another of the litter Of Dishonesty is
Shame.
There is also Humiliation.
And Suspicion.
And Loss of Credit.
And those and many other ugly In
sects Of torment increase and multiply
as Dishonesty goes forward. The mesh
grows more complicated. Strand after
strand Of the sticky web of embarrass-
ment is spun around us, our struggles
grow weaker until the old spider, Dis
grace, gobbles US.
Dishonesty is often very clever, but
it is human shrewdness, and the puzzle
of consequences is too intricate for NOR
tai minds. But honesty is Gods wis
dom, by it we follow the logic Of the
cosmos, the stars in their courses fight
for US.
By and by we realize the strangely
cumulative tragedy of Dishonesty; as
the old couplet expresses it,
"Oh what tangled web weave
urhan nrst W uracfisn q deceiyei"

Our Police Must Fight
the Sicilian Fire on the
East Side With Fire

Emmanuel Rogers, the detective who
was better qualified than any officer on
the force to work on the numerous kill
ings that have occurred in the Sicilian
quarter this year, has fallen victim of
the gang which he sought to extermin-
ate.
Tom Balone, an officer who should
have been great help to Rogers, be-
cause of his knowledge of the Italians
and their ways, is in jail, and high Off
GERS intimate that he might have been
connected with the plot against Rog-
gers.
There isn't an italian detective left in
the local bureau.
Rogers and his companions worked
hard, but casting aside sentiment and
respect for this faithful officer, on look
ing at the record one must say that no
great progress was made in rounding up
the gunner. There might have been as
many as two prosecutions, but that is
the maximum.
Even Rogers could not rid Detroit
of the Sicilian bandits. They showed
their murderous IMMUNITY by killing him
as they had killed lowly countrymen.
Now the question is Who is going to
do what everyone in Detroit knows must
be done? Who is going to wipe out this
gang?
The Sicilans were secretive and sus-
picious even in the presence of Rogers.
They will be more canny when they
match wits against the officers who are
not Italian.
The department says it has more tan
gible evidence in the Rogers case than
in any other similar one they have dealt
with. Similar statements have been
made in other Sicilian cases.
If results aren't produced quickly,
Commissioner Couzens, who insists on
results, might try to equip Detroit's po-
lice department with few good Italian
officers and show favors to no one.
If these officers came from other
cities and were unknown here and RE-
NAMED unknown TO the Sicilians and
other officers as well, until they had ac-
complished the job of making the Ital-
Ian quarter a safe part of the city in
stead of neighborhood Of lawlessnessl
the trial might produce the results
which Couzens seeks.
Certainly, it could not be more dis
Swinging than the record Of the last
, - xannkha.
