WHITHER ARE WK DRIFTING?
It Is very much likr the pot calling; the kettle black for
any city, to mention moral conditions in a neighboring city,
but the need for general attention to He uirecteil to the lax
way of living; prompts the Observer to reprint from the pen
of I. B. Bowen, of the Baker Morning Democrat a lecture which
Is very appropriate. Evidently something has come to light
in P-aker that has aroused the ire of the veteran editor and he
usss1 the following language in scorching a few of Baker's
citizens :
. 'Out of police court come3 exposure of frightful immoral
doings in which Baker young -people figure as principals and
it-makes solicltious parents anxious in the extreme regarding
the. welfare of their children and the awful temptations that
beset them... Well, it doesn't cost anything to give advice and
t(iat .article is very gratituously handed out. The best we have
heard is : .
V "Make the low neck dresses higher, the skirts lower and
put the young lady at work in the kitchen helping mamma
Teach' her. things practical and cut out a few dances and auto
rides' in the evening."
.' '"For the young fellow, put him to work, if he wants a
new suit let him earn it. Make him understand that home is
His ''.place at 9 o'clock in the evening. Stop giving lim money
to'.buy cigarettes and tomfoolery. In short start in early with
club and use it unsparingly. He will then better respect home
and. authority. The pampered child loses respect for parents
arid early embraces the idea that he has the whip hand."
