me Non w at 8 o'clock, in the Free Reading
Room. lust above the first bridge on Frent
rect Every lady in Marietta is earnestly
invited to attend all the meetings, as work
Of unusual interest will begin with the
new campaign.
The above stands at the head of
a department in the Marietta CO.,
Reqister, which is made up, weekly,
of current matters of interest in
Temperance work. We note this
as being just'such a feature of adj
yanced journalism as ought to char
acterize every secular newspaper in
our land, and such as every respect
able paper must have, to keep
abreast of the times and be honest
with the people.
No man, of unseared conscience,
WHO'S in a position to educate the
young and mould public opinion in
any degree, can possibly ignore the
greatest question of public morals,
and of civil polity, that has ever
stirred the hearts and consciences
of men; and surely no man setting
himself before the community as an
honest dissemination of the current
news of the day, and safe teacher
in all the families that he can in
duce to receive his weekly lessons
and become his pupils, can be just
to his patrons or free from fragrant
guilt, in Withholding from his sub
scription school, secured through
his representations of honesty and
capacity, the very news and infor-
nation that will most interest and
inspire with hope his every pupil,
and the instruction and exhortation
that he is eager to receive, in the
matter second only in Importance
to that of his eternal salvation.
And aside from the question of
right and common honesty to his
patrons, the shrewd manager of
secular newspaper will, as a matter
of business policy, so conduct his
journal as to commend it's general
makeup and it's teachings to the
Judgment and conscience of the
honest, the good and the true, en-
bracing all the better classes Of the
community. These are the patrons
and friends on whom he can rely for
taithfulness and permanency, and
1t is an encouraging and glorious
tact of the present, that these class
es are rapidly augmenting in
numbers, strength and influence !;
and managers Of the press through
out the land are realizing as never
before, the uncertainty and insin-
cerlty Of the selfish patronage that
comes from the liquor-traffic and
sabbath decorators; that these
classes of friends only value friend
snip so long as it can be made avail
able IN dollars and cents, and I'M
less they can reap the same sort Of
harvest from an editors friendship,
mat they reap from the drunken
victims at their bar, they want
none Of it, and as they thrust the
miserable drunkard into the gutter,
hungry and Naked when they get
al MS money, SO they thrust out
the newspaper man the moment he
ceases to contribute in some way to
their Golfers.
"eare glad, the country is glad,
lor the determination SO rapidly
spreading throughout the country
press, to break away from this
wicked, corrupt and improbable
friendship, to the freedom and in
dependence that dares defy and as
sail wrong wherever found, and we
"re more glad for the still better
