Rev. Sidney Love, Secretary of the North Carolina Prison’s Aid Society, spoke at the Air Dome Sunday afternoon at 5 o’clock to an interested audience on the subject “The Daughter Though Gavest Me.” Mr. Love is right on the subject of discrimination shown to the benefit of the man when a woman is put on trial for misconduct. He claims, and rightly so, that the man who caused the woman’s downfall or any way contributes to her degredation is equally guilty. “Remove the cause,” he says and the woman will remain clean and virtuous and that means for the man to keep away and when he is guilty to make him pay the penalty the same as the woman, and that will go a long ways towards keeping the woman from further erring.
