CONVENTION (B y Mary A m a K elly.) The following is an address given by Mias K elly in Portland, and read at the W. C. T. U. convention in this city last Friday. We are printing it on request of a number of the ladies of this organisation.— Ed. Before the prairie schooners, drawn by Jaded oxen and piloted by the aturdy race who peopled our glo- rioua west, bad oeaaed to creak their way acroaa the Cascade mountains, the valleys of Oregon already had begun to glow with rosy mists of apple blossoms— vernal offerings of the trees planted on sunqy slopes by the earliest pioneers, and here and there, in newly made (Hearings and between the stumps of fallen forest giants, tender garden patches grew green and luxuriant. And such apples as those trees produced! Big and red and Juicy, deliciously flavored and sound to the core, bushels and bushels o f them, lit to be eaten In daylight or dark ness by the men and women of taf- lowdip days, with never a startling encounter to mar the enjoyment. Then, ** years rolled by, gradual ly, silently, insiduously, fungus growths and codling moths arrived, destructive ' rust, San Jose scale, wooly aphis and tent caterpillars-1- Innocent appearing amall tourists to the inexperienced orchardlsts. but vicious little demons to those who know the evil of their ways. No sooner did the dawn kissed pet- of the apple trees unfold than a dosen pests were up and at the dainty hearts with an agility and precision that did credit to their progenitor, the serpent, in the gar den of Eden. All over this great state, flourish ing orchards soon became breeding places for these Satanic hordes who stood not on the order of their going but pressed steadily on to attack and plunder fruit crops of adjoining farms— till all at once growers real ised that if marketable crops of ap ples were to be produced, prompt ac tion must be taken and relentless war be waged. But, though farmers Brown and Smithj and Jones might plow and prune * and eprsy. often neighbors White or Johnson “ didn’ t see no call to get excited,” and resolved to let Dame Nature take her course, with the result that much of the time and effort of the thrifty, wideawake brotherhood went for naught, as moths and millers and caterpillars can scale a division fence or navi gate the air as quickly and success fully as small boys or army planes. In time, however, all came to see that one neglected, infected orchard was a menace to all that wery well cared for— and it was only when all pulled together that the Hood River and Willamette valley applee and Rogue river pears came into their own. , - And as with the orchards, so also with the citizenry of the greaf-new west— and back of that the middle west and the eastern portion of our great republic. No nation on earth ever had so thrilling, so divine an inception as AmerijcaL Never before was a wilder ness wrested from savagery by so high minded, God fearing a group of human beings as those who colon ized. civilized and democratized this country of ours— and yet, as in the glorious gardens of Eden, of Noah’s time, .of ancient Babylon, Jerusalem, Tyre and Sldon, of rival Rome and Carthage, even now, in our own day, cankerous rust and noxious weeds are attacking and choking out much of the fairest growth of our civiliza tion. Of all sweet, lovely, animate thingB God ever made, what Is so sweet, so lovely, so desirable as a healthy, happy baby? What so greatly entitled to be well born, of vigorous, clean blooded, clean mind ed parents? What so amenable to right upbringing, and correct disci pline? And then, talk of spring time, of azure skies and apple bloesoms, of bird notes rippling from sweetbrier thickets, of the nectar o f honeysuck les and attar of roses— what are they compared to the purity and sweet ness of a radiant young girl? Why. she personifies and excels them all. She is exquisite in her simplicity, and in her innocence lies her charm. But instead of this delightful, girlish woman in the making, what do we find wherever we go? In the street cars, on the side walks, behind counters, anywhere and everywhere, are crowds of girls between the agee of fourteen and twenty, (yee, and many older than that) mincing along In mal-fdrmed pumps, scantily clad, plucked as to eyebrows, rouged as to face, llp- sticked as to mouth, heads bobbed ojr plied high In baled hay or hair mat tress effects— and containing few re sponsibilities beside wsds of gum and a few croesed wires thrilling with hopes of a dsnce, a motor ride and datsllng raiment. They are not bad g irls They are not utterly vapid. They are not hopelessly selfish and vulgar. They are simply a Job lot o f v e r y " poor “ seconds,” put out by inferior home factories thst lacked everything from proper foundation to a satis factory superintendent. They sre not to blame. Nobody ever taught them anything worth w h lls There la a trite saying that "F or every goose, there Is a gander.” In the light of preeent day uses and abuses. It surely seems thst for every sudden fad, for every eccentric prop aganda there is a score o f silly geese. The war has been blamed for every thing that has happened during the last eight years, but it seems as If the wave of crime, of immorality and Incorrigibility should at least be traced straight back to Its origin, which is not the war alone, by any manner of means. Without stretching our meniorles to the breaking point. If we pause for a moment, we will soon remem ber the aocalled child culture propa ganda that has been flooding our znagaslnss for ten or twelve years— articles writtan, for the greater part, by theorists, or aspiring authors who bad no children, or experimenters anxious to «tart something, to try anything new, or different or eccen tric, little realizing that not every dh&nge Is an Improvement, and car ing less that diseased grain, falling on Impoverished soil might produce the moet appalling crop of weeds a defenseless nation ever has had to reap. The gist of this false doctrine ran something like this: “ Never, .never say ‘don’t’ to a child. Never mar the unfolding Of the perfect flower of Its personality by having it do anything whatsoever that it doesn't want to. Its Individu ality might be crippled for life if a great big, cruel parent should at tempt to exact obedience. Should it attempt to become unruly. Impudent, or obstreperous, and commence to break up the furniture or “ sass its pa,” or Us ma. said ps and ma were to retire meekly from the room and leave the young cherub to see the error of his 'Ways, or to evolve his own moral code and self control. Above all thing, parents never were to tell a child It was naughty, no matter how unbecoming its conduct, and as for thst relic of barbarism, a paternal or maternal meeting in the woodshed, with a good right hand or a, keen little switch as the party of the first part, the child cul ture reformers would swoon com pletely away at the very thought of such heathenism. In some hazy, intangible manner, these "faults” — and I deliberately Well It f-a-u-l-t-s— prophets convey ed the idea to thousands of parents that being allowed to have biB own way and to rule the roost from dawn to dark, day in and day out, was what young America needed above everything else to make him— or her -a quiet, orderly respectful little gentleman or lady. In short, child ren were to be allowed absolute spiritual, mental and moral freedom in order to “ develop their Individu ality” and to "discover their souls.” Even at that time thoughtful peo ple knew there was trouble ahead and predicted that they would ulti mately “ discover” the Juvenile courts and “ develop” in to the re form schools and penitentiaries, and they are doing it by hundreds, every week. And what are their "souls” worth, now that they, and the courts, have discovered them? Not ten cents a great gross. In a prlma facie sur vey. , Being undisciplined, untrained in self control, thoughfulneas and un selfishness. they are the most stri dent, most blatant, shoddiest, moet persistently self advertising “ bunch” that the public has to endure today. Sullen, hepvy eyed youths, with burly frame k and selfish faces, rush ghead of ladies to board street cars, pre-empt the seats and sit stolidly and effectually while gray haired (Continued on page eight) B a k e r T h e a tre Wednesday and Thursday A p r il 1 9 a n d 2 0 Jesse L.
