Gentlemen" — I shall say there are a great many gentlemen in Salt Lake City and in the world And the wonder of it all is how does it happen that there are after the way too many of the women and young girls conduct themselves today Years ago an attorney advised men not to stop and offer help to women Too many were being taken in for rape With the women as bold and free as they are today a man would have to be real dumb or brave to stop and help a woman any time of the day or ttight When we have trouble on the road all we do is put the hood up and In no time a real right?"
