Use Horse Sense.

To be drunk in Maine is ysical-
ly, morally and legally impossible,
because Maine, the home of Neal
Dow, has a stringent prohibitory
law which it's friends say is vigor-
ously enforced. This being the
fact, the ten women of Maine who,
last month, filed petitions for divorce
from their husbands, charging ha-
bitual drunkenness, didn't know
what they were talking about
Weston Republican,
1t seems to be physically, NOR
ally, and legally" impossible for
some people to exercise the same
common horse-sense in reference to
the prohibition Of the liquor traffic
that they use in regard to the laws
prohibiting other public evils.
Stealing is strictly prohibited in
West Virginia, but it wouldn't take
Captain Mehen long to point you
out ten tnleVeS even IN 1arkeTS-
burg ;and we presume these wretch
ed women of Maine who are seeking
this last resort to escape a perpetual
burden of unlawful drunkenness,
know as well "what they are talk
ing about" as the women of West
Virginia knew last winter what
they were taking about in their pc
titions praying to be released from
legalized drunkenness.
But as Mr.. Faulkner thought our
women idiots, we suggest that he be
sent Canada-ward to investigate
these ten silly matrons of Maine,
whose efforts to escape from the
whisky curse gives some of our
brethren so much trouble.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1881-11-30
Several Mistakes.

An interesting point was decided
by Prof. Butcher, State Supt of
Schools, Monday. He received a
letter from a teacher of Pendleton
county, saying that the Board of
Education threatened to discharge
him because he was a Seventh-day
Baptist and worked on Sunday.
He wanted to know if the Board
could interfere with his religious
principles by discharging him:
Prof. Butcher decided the Board
could not-MoundsuiIe Reporter.
Either there are several mistakes
in the foregoing item, or there was
a foolish thing done by the Board of
Education, a foolish inquiry made
of the Superintendent, and a foolish
decision made by him. Surely the
Board could not discharge a teacher
for being Seventh-Day Baptist,
but Just as surely might they refuse
to retain teacher who fagrantly
violated the laws of the land by
working on Sunday.
And it was foolish question to
ask if the "Board could interfere
with his religious principles" and
it was as foolish to answer such a
question in the negative, if the
Professor meant to decide in the
answer that the people could be
compelled to retain in the Public
Schools a teacher who persisted in
openly violating the law.
We know nothing of the facts, ex-
cept as we find them in the above
item, and we hope it contains the
several mistakes.

Modest Maud and May Bell.

Leaving off the Post Office, which
is not thousand miles from Par
kersburg, we insert the following,
as requested:
November "a, 1881.
ED. FREEMAN: Will you please
insert these advertisements in your
paper?
WANTED-A young lady wishes
to correspond with some gentlemen.
Address, MAY BELL.
WANTED-A modest young lady
wishes to form the acquaintance of
some gentleman of same descrlp-
ton.
Address, MAUD.
Of course we have too much re-
gard for the peace, happiness and
welfare Of any young lady to allow
her to set a trap for her own trouble
and sorrow in the columns of the
FREEMAN, and 50 we omit the adj
dress of these fictitious maids.
Knowing nothing of the real par
ties, we cannot even surmlse, but
if May Bell be the innocent young
girl we hope she is, wesuggest that
she use that womanly tact that can
do, yet not seem to be doing, to
moGestly bring about the gratifi-
cation of her wishes, and not throw
her bait into the filthy pool of socie-
ty to be seized by the social sharks
that swim there and slyly watch
for prey.
And if Maud be the modest Maud
she advertises herself, she would do
well to modestly pursue her kitch-
en- work, or home duties, or even
pailing the COWS, and let her be
we'll assured that in good, due time
some worthy gentleman of the
same description" will be drawn
that way, and turn aside to form
the acquaintance" as longed for.
Before young ladies decide to adj
vertise for their own trouble and
sorrow, they should be thoughtful
enough to first confer with their
mothers, or some safe gentleman
friend.
