-ii "i " The officers or we umo orpuau
StSSi' Inm recently stated that they had no
trouble to find homes for the orphan
! i girls in their charge,, but that it was
impossible to find homes for all the
boys.
Only the exceptionally handsome or
bright boy is wanted for adoption. As
one of the officers concisely stated it,
"Boys are not appreciated."
Isn't this true In city, town, or coun
try? Our girls are going to school and
college, even when their parents are
far from wealthy. But the brother
of more than two-thirds of these girls
are doing odd jobs around town, or
working for day wages. True, thsy
earn something in this way for them
selves or their parents. But if the
good of the boys were to be consulted,
the parents ought rather to have lived
on bread and water, and worn patches
three deep, than to have handicapped
their sons with the lack of a good ed
ucation. Why shouldn't boys have a
chance to rise in the world asxwell as
girls?
Mothers watch after their small
daughters very carefully, taking much
pains that their associates are of the
best, but these same mothers will, in
many cases, allow their young sors
to run about the streets and play by
1he hour with boys that are bad, even
incipient thieves and drunkards.
Isn't it true that many fathers stand
by and hear without protest the ob
scene tales of other men, told before
thir half-grown sons. Had It been tbe
fcy's sisters who were present the nar-
jraierja woylsl bave been promptly hush
d up, perhapi tbrsbfd for, "trying to
roar a gjr's iHHIB??''
-Evidently a boy's innocence does not
count.
Suppose a young girl of our acquain
ance should be enticed into a salooi
and made drunk. Why our indigna
tion would know no bounds. The pub
lic does not think it makes much dif
ference when it is one of our boys. He
should be able to take care of himself.
Why not protect the boy? Isn't he
worth saving as well as the girl? Is
a lazy man a more edifying sight than
a lazy woman? Is an oath in a man's
mouth less blasphemous than in a wo
man's? Is a man drunkard cleaner
or purer than a woman drunkard?

' An observer asks, "What is the mat
ter with local option? Why cannot
temperance people concentrate their
forces upon that instead of aiming at
national or State prohibition?" The
matter with local option has always
been that it is too local and too optional.
