who isn't in their minds a sport
is a quiet girl who stays at home,
and is seldom called up for date.
But in the long run, she is the
real, true, American girl, and will
be one to be appreciated and looked
up to, when some of our men catch
themselves mapping, wake up, and
get over some Of their foolish

Then the girls will not have to

"The present styles of dress have
a demoralizing effect, and instead
of helping our felowmen to purcr
and nobler thoughts. we have placed
temptations before them which have
dragged them down to the vilest>
crimes, and in many ways lost Our
influence for cool.
women appear in public in dress
which should put to shame any pure

TO us, the influence of mother

pure exemplary influence is the
foundation of Christian civilization.
"The present day styles of dres.

ITO my mind, this is the one
great cause of our women slipping
away from the paths Of modesty
and virtue, and losing their one,

touch their own.

Modern Woman Has Gained.

Demand Instead of Plead.
Don't you think that the woman
of today who helps to lift this young
girl up again and show her the way
stands a better chance of gaining
entrance to heaven than the pious
hypocrite of former days, who would
scorn her and give her an extra
shove downward?

carry on the sham and falseness OF
the old church doctrines, when the
church was used as a means to cove.

Public discussions of the question,
Are Our Women Slipping" drew
deluge of answers from the read
ers of The Bee to such a number
that many could not be put into
print this week.
This open forum will be continued
for several weeks to come, however,
and readers are invited to express
their personal views on the question.
AS many of the answers received
will be published, as space will per-
NIT. Following are some of the
opening arguments:
Prodded by Editorial.
Editor The Bee: The question
propounded by The Bee Are Our
Women Slipping? is one that l
was pleased to see taken up, and |
looked forward to reading with
some interest the views that might
be drawn forth. The question is
one that has been raised by large
number of thoughtful people, men
and women, and great many have
approached the subject unconscious
ly, as | have maAy times overheard
remarks such as: You mustn't al
low Margaret to read that story or
You must see that the children do
not go to this picture Such re-
marks occur naturally along the
pathway of thought that leads to
the question: Are our women (and
men) slipping?
Il had no intention of discussing
the matter myself in response to
the query of The Bee, but have
been moved to do so on reading
a challenge issued on the subject
in the editorial columns of the
World Herald. The attack on The
Bee was thinly yelled in its pre-
tended argument, but the heart of
the subject was missed, or adroitly
avoided. That such a serious ques-
ton should be lodged, or used as
shield behind which to aim an
editorial dart at The Bee, is some
thing extremely reprehensible. The
allegations made by Tue Bee, and
the conclusions to be drawn-there-
from are indisputable, and we'll
known to everyone, and generally
acknowledged. The fact that the
courts of the French kings were
VIGOROUSLY dissolutc, and that
women were coarse and vulgar in
the days of Shakespeare and Good
Queen Bess,' are admitted condi-
lions that do not in any way con-
. ,ern the issue under discussion.
A Modern Question.
"The question raised does mot

years ago, in this country.

der no more than the citizen should
illegally take life.
Only one writer calls up what
ever doubt there may be as to the
guilt of the two men in appealing
for clemency, and another blames
the crime upon liquor, expressing the
opinion that the seller of the intoxi-
cants which the writer alleges the
boys drank is equally guilty, or more
guilty, and should bear the burden
of the crime.
None of the writer's advocate free
ing the men. The letters are as fol-
lows:
How About Kirk Case?.
Omaha, Neb., Jan. S, 1920.
do l think these boys should be
electrocuted? By all means-no
Why do the officials of the state of
Nebraska allow these boys to be ex-
ecuted when they allow such a man
as Kirk his freedom? It's just an
other case of money talking. Look
at the past reputation of these boys
and the past reputation of Kirk?
Which of them should be fur
loughed?' There is no doubt but
that one of these men is innocent,
and it is not justice that the innocent
should suffer for the guilty. Why
not give these boys prison term?
"A. R."
Need Capital Punishment.
Omaha, Neb., Jan. 4, 1920.
with reference to the Grammer-
Cole case my opinion is that they
should be given capital punishment.
If there were more capital punish
ment in the state there would not
be as many murders and crimes as
there are. 1t looks as if the GRIM
inals are running the city. How
few are caught and go to the peni-
tertiary, where they are turned
loose as fast as they come in so
that they san go forth to commit
more crimes. ! should think the
policemen would get so disguised
that they would refuse to catch any
more. The criminals don't fear the
penitentiary because they know
they won't have to stay there but
short time. l have lived in Omaha
for 10 years, and we are having the
worst period l ever lived through
with regard to the number of crimes,

terrible is the best deterrent of
crime? The families of these two
men are going to suffer far more
than the murderers will. Is this
right? No. Is it fair? No. And
is it justihable? No. Life imprison-
ment is being used, believe, as a
substitute for the so-called capital
punishment, and taking all things
Omaha daily bee., 1920-01-11

never will. Is it less wrong for
the state to take a human life than
for Grammer and Cole to have
taken the life of Mrs. Vogt? Is the
death penalty to be inflicted upon
these two men going to make them
realize as fully as they should what
they have done? OF course the
penalty of death is the most hor-
rible that can be inflicted, but do
you think the very fact that it is
Omaha daily bee., 1920-01-11

"Since punishment is for the cor
rection of faults and the teaching
of lesson, do not think that cap
ital punishment quite meets the re-
quirements. How much easier is it
for these men to die than to live the
rest of their lives in repentance to
correct the terrible mistake they
made. OF cohrse, murder is wrong,
but, did ever two wrongs make
rightf No. 1t never has, and it
