BLAMING THE WOMAN

Blaming the woman has been a
favorite indoor sport since the days
of Adam. If one cannot blame a
woman under any other pretex, put
the fault upon her for having a son
who does something he shouldn't!
Apparently so reason those doubt
less well-intentioned but short Wis
toned occupants of pulpits who see
in the economic and political rise Of
women from a dependent to an in
dependent state the cause of all the
ills to which modern civilization is
heir.
A well-known revivalist declares
that "the next war" is to be caused
by the "flapper." He adds that all
wars have been caused by "the de-
pravity Of women"
A noted woman worker in social
hygiene advocates more women in
politics and more laws as cure for
vice and the activities of vicious
women.
A national legislator wants marri-
age laws so amended that from ten
days to two weeks must elapse be-
tween issuance of license and marri-
age, as a cure for>divorce, the di-
vorced women being one of the evils
of the country!
If would be dull world if we all
thought alike. Yet one is reminded
that a fundamental of the govern
ment of what we revere as the land
of the free is tolerance; willingness
to concede to the other fellow the
right to his opinion, even as we
hold inalienable the right to our
own,
No good American has any objec
tion to anyone thinking that flap
pers cause wars, that women are
evil creatures, that hasty marriages
undermined the American home, or
that vice can be cured by don't dc
it, laws. But there is great objec-
ton of evangelists, educators and
stating as facts which they wish tc
be the basis of legal action what are
after all, only personal opinions, the
truth of which it is difficult to sub
stantiate by any evidence.
| One does wonder, at times, wheth-
er these reformers who decry wo-
men really had mothers, or if, like
Topsy, they 'just grOwed!"

THE OLD-FASHIONED BOY

What has become of the Old-fash-
toned boy who loved his mother, was
polite to his sisters, and respected
all womanhood? We mean the boy
who got up and gave his mother the
easy chair when she came into the
room; the boy who refused to laugh
when dirty story was told, and who
looked upon his sisters as his
special charge when they were out
in company. The young fellows who
wear dog-caps on the sides of their
heads and stand about on the street
corners, talking to somebody's sister
and putting smoke though their
noses, are as different from the old
fashioned boy as day is from night.
Can't you remember when there
were a lot of old-fashioned boys here
in Paris? They swan in the creek
and they played the innocent FRANKS
of boyhood. Not always gentle, but
always respectful. They called the
older men Mr.. So and So, and they
lifted their hats to the ladies.S They
worked for their spending money and
generally helped mother with a con-
tribution toward the household ex-
penses on Saturday night. We just
don't seem to get used to this tur-
key-trot, shimmy, slangy, lack OF re-
spect for anybody or anything era.
If we were a girl we'd tie can
to some Of the nincompoOps that
come sneaking around. We would
rather be q bachelor girl for thous-
and years than to tie up to the no
account young man that cutters the
earth to-day. We do not say there
are no clean, earnest. industrious
young men In Paris. There are
