In last Sundays Astoriaa, Mr. w. H. Gray, Of
0lney, complains that the columns Of the New
NORTHWEST have been "opened for an article
from man called Bishop Lunt, on the genuine
Bible arguments in favor of a polygamous sys-
tenn and ''prostituted in the interests of men
calling themselves a religious sect" Mr.. G.. is
needessly worried, and might restrain his un-
Seemlv warmth. He has been subscriber TO this
Journal since its infancy, and knows that it has
never lost an opportunity to depict the horrors Of
MormOnism and denounce the crime Of polygamy.
No other paper in the state has commented so
Freely on the practices Of the Mormons. In the
introduction to the article which so excited him,
Il was expressly stated that the NEW NORTHWEST
tavOrs the dsfranchisement of polygamists "be-
cause they are offenders sgainst the laws and no
more deserving of the ballot than other crimi-
mails" that ''the statutes against their practices
could be enforced if they deprived of politi-
cal power and that ''the remarks made in de-
fense of polygamy by Bishop Lunt' were pub
nshed because 1--WE always wish to be fair in
discussing any question" and to give both
sides. With these sentences staring Mr.. G. i'm
the face, he is guilty Of demagogy in holding
this journal up as an endorser Of the Mormons
and charging that its editors pen is 'prostituted'

PROSECUTING DRUNKEN HUSBANDS.

Attention is called to an article on the preced-
ing page Of this paper, entitled "Woman's Work
in the Temperance Field" from the wel-known
pen of David Newsome. There is much food for
thought in it. Men often wonder why women
who are victims to the abuse Of drunken husbands
dislike to make complaint and get the offenders
punished. Mr. Newsome explains the matter in
these few words: ''The fines take from the
drunkards families the means of their support"
If the fines thus imposed were for the benefit Of
the wives and children of the offenders, there
would he no lack of complaint against drunken
husbands. But the wife, who knows she will be
robbed of her means of subsistence to pay the
imaginary damages to outraged law forthe oflense
committed against her by her husband, will be
slow to make her coniugaI indignities known,
and, when impelled to do so under stress of sud-
den excitement or alarm, the officers who ex-
pect liberal fees for protecting p? her, are sur
prised that she makes no further complaint and
they get no further fees.
Mr. Newsome's remarks about fast" young
men are well taken. While the NEW NORTH
WEST does not believe that laws made in advance
Of public sentiment can be executed, and there
fore fears that the fruiton Of the correspondents
idea of universal prohibition will be long deferred,
yet it does believe that when women become as
'' t'iSi''i 9"Si"iiE1 iilaiclalIy anu PolIiC'liS'
as men now are, they will hold husbands and
suitors strictly to the lines of moral rectitude
as men to-day hold their wives and sweethearts.
This is the only practical way to deal with drunk
enness. Men will not tolerate drunken wives,
and women would not tolerable drunken husbands
if not compelled 10. \ few decades Of such liberty
and power FOR women as men possess, and which
will by and 10y accrue TO women through the bal
lot, will successfully settle the temperance prob
lem i'm families

Parents cannot be too particular in the kind Of
newspaper literature they introduce to their fam
lilies. Newspapers that abound in coarse and in
decent alluson, indicative OF the natural coarse
ness and indecency Of their editors, are not
the kind Of papers that children should have
daily access to. Parents do not want paper in
the house that they cannot trust i'm this respect
one that they are obliged to read i'm advance to
see if it will do to submit to their children.
They have a right 10 insist that their family paper
shall at least be clean, though ii be wanting
in honesty or ability \ liberal exercise Of this
sacred right would soon crowd out Of circulation
all nasty newspapers.
