The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-09-08
ADMONITORY

No word can be said or should be said in paliaton, excuse
or explanation Of the vile act committed by three ruffians who
took three young girls riding in an automobile, and in a lonely
place assaulted them, Neither is any warning necessary for the
young girls in question, They have learned their bitter lesson,
and need no advice to convince them of their folly, Other fool
ish girls who have SO far escaped may be benefited by being
reminded that it is not only the height OF improperly, but the
peak Of danger to trust themselves joyrding at night with men,
and especially with characterless ruffans they do not know.
Parents and guardians should impress this on the minds of young
people when native modesty does not cause them to shrink from
the danger and exposure, ~Joyriding may be pleasant, but pleas
ure purchased at too high a price is often a poignant pain, 1t
seems an innocent thing for a girl to jump into an automobile
beside a young man for an exhilaratng spin for a half-hour or
so, but, once in, the girl is at the mercy of her companion, who
can 60 in what direction he likes, and as far as he likes, In his
power and away from the protection of others, she must take
her chances, and these chances are often desperate and always
dangerous. To be chaperoned is an old idea but a wise and a
safe one, and when this cannot be done, and even when 1t can
be done, young women should refuse impairment invitations to
enter automobiles with strange men,
The three seoundres in question have assaulted the law,
and the law will strike, and its hand is heavy, as they may find
out to their sorrow. There should be more maidenly reserve
and more circumspect behavior all around. The criminals may
be c%ondignly punished, but this does not restore the girls to
their innocency and l%ighthearted happiness.
