have been auto accidents where the
machine has killed someone and the
papers state the men had picked up
girls on the street or park and took
them out for aide; and then state the
girls were unknown to them. 5.4 N
What is your opinion Of a girl who
will go with unknown men out for a
ride into the country? Well, maybe
she is only green" and once in. a
while escape disgrace, but seldom.
Girls should be cautioned against
the immoral side of life and not just
be kept in close, not knowing why.
Both men and women are fighting
prohibition and all such which are a
ruination to men, but the poor limo
cent little girl, who should have the
most care, is neglected to lead the
wrong road.
The country can soon find out what
ia girl is by the old faithful long
tongued busy body gossipers who on
ly see the wrongs of others and none
of their own. But, in fact, they are
upholders of morals, after we find out
the truth, for the country woman will
be very careful about her morals for
1t may create a scandal if she mis-
conducts herself and it was found out.
When most girls go to the city it
means their downfall for they are
where they are not known and soon go
the limit.
/ have been through the dives of
many of our large cities and find for
the fact that most of these downfallen
girls are from country towns and
were let do as they pleased and soon
found they were below the eyes of ev-
en- the lowest man being.
They are never happy at heart and
often speak of home but find they are
not any more fit to face their folks
and friends who once welcomed them.
There are some sad scenes in the
underworld which mothers should see
and at once they would be giving their
daughters the best of care. If girl
can be kept under until she is 81 years
old she will seldom turn out bad.
Pm like that citizen. Girls should
be allowed only one fellow, and not
make their parlor stamping ground
for every fellow in the town. Girls
who have fellows each night in the
week are known to be the ones who
get divorces and then go to the dogs
later on.
The best time to moralize girl is
before she uas turned out bad.
There are 100000 women is this
country to each man so let each man
pick out the moral ones and discard
the ones who has been mussed over
with every one in town. A good rule
is, respect those only who are respect
full. If these loose character night
girls are shown respect it only encour-
ages the respectful girl to follow in
their tracks. believe when a girl is
arrested for misconduct her picture
and name should be printed in the pa
pers so her friends and folks can see
her life, and belive me, she wouldn't
like that but when her friends don't
know the fact of her life, what does
she care.
There are always people preaching
against the wrongs of the world but
never do anything to uphold the worlds
morals.
I have found several girls in this
city's underworld, who lives in your
neighboring towns and often read of
them where they are visiting home
folks who think they are employed in
the factory but there's no gossipers to
tell tales, so why do they care? So
you should thank your city gossipers
instead of passing them by.
A girl never knows her faith till it's
too late.
Every mother should keep her
daughter from these night rides and
fight for her daughters morals and
she'll find it will avoid many hours of
regret. feel all mothers can spare a
little time anyhow to raising her chill
dren instead of giving all her time to
societies and outings with friends. Let
the women show what they intend to
do for the worlds morals instead of
only using their rights to attend So
cieties and fashion balls and being out
flirting with the men.
Let everybody uphold our moral
girls.
