The era of representation
through which we are passing is di-
rectly responsible for the breakdown
OF character and common sense that
is evidenced on every hand.
The wild parties that are being
thrown, the flask on the college boys
hip, the t-give-a-damn look that
is creeping into so many young
eyes and all the lamentable things
that are happening as a result have
direct connection with the moral
stampede by which we have been
inspired to make each other over by
making law.
We face condition where one
form Of fanaticism is breeding an
other, whore public prudishness is
almost compelling private looseness.
