country?
We are asking a very serious question. A question
which it behooves us, all, to consider. And a question to
which there is a discoverable answer.
In public discourse, this writer has often used these
words: Our boys are the hope of our country. The
strict, inward meaning of which expression may be fairly
rendered thus: The hope of our country is in our boys.
Which is the same as saying, The future expectation of
our country is bound up in our boys. Or, fully explicated,
Our country can expect nothing in the future, can legiti
mately hope for nothing in the days to come, better than
the boys of the present day are making for it—and of it.
What are they doing about it?
But the girls are also to be considered in this same
question of the hereafter. As a matter of fact, the moral
complexion of the future is largely pre-dependent upon
the girls of today. Then, what are the girls of the now
doing, (no matter how unintentionally), with reference to
the then? For, as with the boys, so with the girls, whether
they deliberately purpose such or not, their doings of to
day are their makings for tomorrow.
Let us now consider somewhat closely, the pending
question; What about the future of our country?
And first, with reference to the boys. For it is incon-
trovertibly true that no matter how potential, or even po
tent, feminine influence may be, the country is going to
continue, (for a long time, at least), under masculine do
mination.
Now, please remember that we are not talking about
your boy. Every crow’s young ones, you know, are as
white as snow. The trouble is with other people’s boys.
And we are sure of your approbation in anything we may
say about them.
Then, let us proceed to say it. And that end we pur
pose to accomplish by the answers you are going to make
to our questions.
How many boys, of ages between seven and twenty
years, have you seen who manifest no respect for old peo
ple? for ladies? for ministers of the gospel? How many
especially under fifteen, who show no regard for the pro
prieties, in public places?-Acting the parts of toughs and
hoodlums, about the doors of churches; in the postoffice
lobby; at the entrances, along the corridors and within the
auditorium of the court house, at concerts and other pub
lic entertainments; around the musicians when the band
plays on the street; ripping and tearing among the grown
people assembled on such occasions; yelling, shrieking
noisily whistling, snatching hats and caps, throwing mud
and dirt, or hard pasteboard fans with the handles brok
en off, in every direction, utterly regardless of consequenes
to heads and faces of ladies and gentlemen? And how
often have you seen some of the parents of such rowdies
standing or sitting by and making no effort to restrain
their shameless offsnring from such horrible rudenp^?
But why write this? Who will read? Ah there! Who
indeed?
What do boys betwaen the ages specified-and even
older-read, anyhow? How often have you seen kids o-
pen the daily papers in the portoffice lobby, to read- 7

offices, there is an inflexible rule
that requires every communica
tion to be accompanied by the
name of some responsible person;
not necessarily for publication,
but for the protection of the
managing editor. In many cases,
such a rule would appear un
necessary: but if anonymous ar
ticles of a harmless character
were allowed, the same privilege
could be claimed for those of an
other character. Therefore, no
deviation from this universal
rule can be permitted. H.
