A Girls Opinion.

After awaiting for the discussions
OF Innocent" ! am going to write
my opinion. l may not agree with
some readers, but anyone who has
a little common sense will under
stand me.
The letter written by interested
Pals" does not give the girl justice.
Maybe she is a good girl We don't
know. Maybe she has tried to do
her level best to be good. Again
they say they feel sorry for him.
for shame. girl should run down
her own sex. God should curse
him eternally. and If he is guilty
God will punish him.
Don't we all think we have good
characters? Don't we think We
have good reputation? Of
course we do
1t is true no man ever respects
or loves a woman he Is compelled
to marry, but It isn't because he is
compelled to marry her, it's because
he doesn't love or respect her be-
fore this occurs. No man, no mat
ter who he is. will ever drag girl
down IL he really loves her.
or course If a girl wishes to
throw her life away in that man
ner, why she is to blame. but how
do you know she wishes that? In
the first place, Pals" respectable
boy isn't going with that sort of a
GIRL we'll -, II he isn't respecta-
Bile. let him suffer
/ know this to be true, as I have
seen it tried by my dear girl
chum. She was a good girl and is
yet Her companion was most a
brother to her. Four years he had
kept her steady company, and one
day she came to me and confided
in me. l felt sorry for her, but l
could do nothing, so she pleaded to
him. He promised to save her from
the disgrace that was Detailing her.
Marriage. he said, was beyond the
limit, because he was too young,
but he promised and she chung to
him, and he had her lifted from
the disgrace that was weaving itself
around her. But did he tell that
1t was he who was guilty? Not
much! 1t was another fellow, you
see, some one else, who was as in
nocent as God, but he loved her, you
know, and made her believe he
was going to marry her, but did not
want another mans child. He lied,
and II one can go that far and lie,
one can lie at the beginning.
"A Woman" says all males are
not men. She sure knows what she
is talking about. Why don't men
help to uplift this world instead of
dragging 1t down?
/ am only a. slip Of a girl yet,
Just girl of II summers, but try
to do my best and live clean life
for my mothers sake and no one
else.
Thanking you for any trouble I
have caused. I am. A GIRL.
A New Idea.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Being q man, l can understand
man, but l cannot understand
girls plea that man has wronged
her if she knows that they both
know it isn't true.
In the case of Innocent 1t seems
to me that the girl has every right
to believe that he could be the
father of the child, for how could
any girl expect to live and be happy
with a man that was absolutely
certain" there could not possibly be
anything to her statement? With
all due respect to the girl, let me
say, though, that of course there
might possibly be a doubt as to his
being the actual father, etc, but,
believe me, there Is no doubt in
my mind as to her having a reason
to believe he probably is, and, be-
ing a man, it is my first duty to
respect a woman until it Is thor
oughly proven beyond all possible
doubt that they are totally unwor-
thy Of respect.
That being the case, 1 would sug-
gest that all those who seem inter-
ested in this particular case donate
sufficient funds to provide an hon
orahts and able lawyer to see that
this girl gets square deal" In
any case the girl is to be pitied
rather than censured. She needs
friends and I for one never could
believe In this dainty kind of Chris
tianity that you've got to carry
around on a chip. We are here to
help each other, and because of the
fact that 1t is but human to err. we
should as far as could reasonably
be expected bear one another's bur-
dens. lending assistance where it
seems the most needed. I'm not an
angel and I don't want to be for
. while. at least as long as I stay
down here IA sooner be man"
I like that idea better. I'm not the
my boat and I'm sure we would all
like to see both innocent" and the
girl get square shake-up in our
courts. I'll come in a bit on the
girls side. How many of her sup
porters will throw in, provided she
will accept our offer; If not well.
let's forget it. "a married man in
q happy home.)
