Flaming YOUTH Defended in
Talk Before Monte Business Men

sity OF Colorado student gave
very able talk in defense of tho
youth OF today. Dwelling on tho
follies OF youth OF the present day
which the older heads are sure must
be leading them to the brink of per-
dition. he showed how the youth OF
fifty years ago were in exactly the
same boat as regards the opinion
of their elders. And even back in
King Tut's tomb a tablet was found
on which wise old head bad pre-
dicted the end of civilization II left
to the hands of flaming youth.
He deplored the publicity given
youthful crime and said that If a
youth or preacher committed
crime it was twice as good news as
when anyone else did it.
In summing up, Mexican said he
did not consider youth today was
any worse than In past generations
but he supposed that along in 1884
he would be as emphatic in his de-
nunciation of youth of that day AS
are the older heads who are CEN
suring youth today.
Theo. GARNER was the next speak
er introduced and as usual Mr.. Gar
nier demonstrated his ability to
deal with and to know boys and
hat ~. a 90
views he had had with the seven
worst kids in town on the subject
and said their angle on life invar-
iably was that men were their worst
enemy. Whenever the boy got into
court there was never anyone to
pass word OF cheer. go his bond.
or stand by him but II an ordinary
bootlegger was caught there was al
ways some man to slap him on the
shoulder. pass the cheer up stuff
and go his bond.
Mr.. GARNER said that in his opin-
ion the worst faul, with men was
not that they were enemies to boys
but that In the everyday business OF
life they didn't have time to notice
the little fellows.
