THE LVIL TOO (1REAT FOR SILENT
INACTIVE!!-
We hope it will not be in vain;
that we appeal to all true, honest,
upright citizens, of our town to
come to the rescue against this
most. festering ore on the body
of our citizenship, gambling.
This agitation is merely acci
dental if not providential but
who will say that it is not time-
'. ' !
iArtn,l Txrnc Tint, ne XVP at first'
thought, the prompting of some
one that was burdened with
knowledge of facts and conveyed
them to the minister, but was
ona of these incidents that the
Christian yorld believes was an
inspiration in the fulness of time
for the staying of a destructive
force.' . .
"While aware that there is a
circle of incorrigible "blacklegs"
in the tjwn we were not aware
until that discourse was preach
,ed and noted in print that this
eVil is so absorbing.
A citizen came i to our office
Wednesday -and told us that our
editorial Tuesday was timely,;
but conveyed a minimun of the
reality. Said he it is a fact that
mere kids will collect in out of
the way places on Sunday with
their little week's earnings in
pennies to be put up on games
at cards.
A very material loss by fire
was sustained by one of our
citizens within a few'years that
is tr&cable to none other than a
group rff gamblers though con
victing evidence is lacking. The
interested party is ndt in posi
tion to give all the facts known
about the prevalence of the evil
lest worse losses be sustained.
So here we are facing an old set
of hardened habitues of these
densof'vice who threaten our
property with destruction,, buj
tea thousand times worse the
thought, nay the withering
reality that they are leading oub
boys don into the depths of an
evil from which they can not
rise to true manhood, till freed
fronthis mania. ,
Shall we as citizens be silent
and inactive while this vice is
drawing its venomous tendrils
about our boys, the hope of the
future, alienating them from the
church and the purest t strata of
society and chaining them down
to the haunts of moral pollution?
m We iuvake the strong arm of
the law but this arm is weak if
not sustained by a wholesome
vigorous public sentiment. It is
emphatically the duty, the privi
lege, the interest of every vir
tuous citizen to stay with par
ental authority, with social in
fluence and with vegilant detec
tive serVicethisyouth Delighting
evil. .
Let no one accuse, a "public
officer of dereliction of duty
while withholding needed infor
mation to convict. Let no one
deplore the evil and lay the
responsibility at the door of
others while his own means for
betterment is unexhausted.
There is too much at siake. to
let tnis matter rest. Reader will
you not give it serious, prayer-
fu.l thought and personal exer
tion for the rscue?
Bernard Weithias, of Spring
field, Mass., murdered his wife aj
few days ago and to avoid arrest
when escape was impossible he
swam into the river and let him
self down. The officers, how-,
ever, went down after him, grap
pled him out, drained the water!
out of him and got breath into
him all for the satisfaction, it
seejis, of taking him off from the
gallows. Funny way we have of
doing thing in this world. It
does seem that when a man kills
his wife he ought to be humored
enough to be allowed to take
himself off.
Peace Conferences are being
held between the British and the
Boers but little seems effected
yet. If terms are reached it will
probably be on a basis of Boer
representation in a government
whose head will be British, some
thing like he government of
Canada. Its early consumacion
will save a brave and heroic peo
ple from annihilation and a great
proud nation from the handicap
of an immense burden in prose
cuting a war too costly to main
tain till the sturdy natives can
resist no more.
Reason for not Taking a Newspaper.
The editor of an exchange
claims that his town has three
of the stingiest men on record.
The first will not drink as much
water as he wants,uriless it coms
from a neighbor's well. The
second forbids any of his family
writing any but a small hand, as
it is a waste of ink to make large
letters. The third stops the
clock atnight to save wear and
tear of machinery. All of them
refuse to ake a newspaper on
the giound that it is such a strin
on the spectacles to read. .
