crushed. His proposal to have a COM
mittee on woman suffrage appointed
was failure of course. but it ought
to win for him certain amount of
sympathy and admiration from women,
and he doesn't seem to receive any
extensive supply of sympathy and
admiration from anybody else. and
consequently stands in need OF fem
mime support. After all there IS
nothing the matter with Keifer. he
is not, perhaps, the most retiring OF

is the result of his Ohio environment.

TRASH LITERATURE OUGHT TO GO.

There seems to be a general awaken
ing to the danger of allowing young
men aud boys to read the obscene and
flash literature that is sent Oat by the
Police Gazette and kindred publiGa-
tions. In number Of states the sale of
the Police Gazette has been prohibited
by imposing heavy fines upon those
who attempt to sell it. War is also being
made upon sensational and worthless
novels aid people have made up their
minds that they, too. ought to go. A
great deal has been said and written of
late in regard the evils which flow
from The reading of bad literature, and
it is high time that these protests
against that which is known to be per-
niciuus should take tie form of action
in trying to prevent ITS further spread,
Law is powerless to deal with the
matter unless backed by a strong pub
lie sentiment in condemnation Of all
publications that are low and degrad-
ing. Every parent as well as every
person who has the cause Of humanity
at heart, is interested in this matter.
If YOU would have your Sous and
daughters grow to be pure and viz
tu0us, noble men and women, see well
to it what kind of literature they are
supplied with. There are SO many
publications of the day that are in
structlve. entertaining ana enrolling
that there can be no excuse for the
reading Of that which is inferior or
positively bad. Keep trash literature
out of your homes. that you may not
be called upon to mourn over the deS-
olation it has wrought in the hearts
and minds of your children. 1t is more
dangerous than war, peStilence OF fam
ine-a lurking foe continually crush
ing out that which is good and noble
i'll humanity, and instilling into the
heart and mind that which is unreal,
unnatural, devlish.
