 I. --It is but fair to state that our last weeks Temperance item was written at n &he- suggestion of. Q lady. who now writes ~s NahSnking us warmly fot. it Her letter is ratker too complimentary for publication
 but We are none the less pleesed to receive it. The Enquirer is too much of wo- mans rights paper and too little of a wo- sS Naana papeF1to be popular with women, s Aspeeially yin tle''prophet's ogn coHptry. " ~ We venture one suggestions, howevsr, to which we hope even unwilling minds will give fair consideration:
 Nineteen twentieths of the women of
 Litchfeld are almost total abstinents. It would stthem no appreciable self deni- 3 kelto-becope entirely total abstinent and / A%0 A1ak8 pfofession of the pfineiple which practically regulates their lives by joining a temperance society or taking temper sance pledge. Would not the moral effect ,of such practice and profession, especially if enforced by such system of rewards
 and punishments as they know so well hO~stO adhinistsE to dissmtispts of the
 weaker" sex, be moro than considerable?
 We have. never heard any reason urged
 for an open profession of religious faith that would not apply with equal force to an open profession of Temperance faith.
