ADDRESS READ BEFORE
f . C. T. U. 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
