BUT few people realize the evils
that result from the unrestricted and
unlicensed sale of fashy, immoral
and debasing literature.
The fash stories and "blOod and

broadcast over the land, lead humid
reds of boys into crimes that their
unassisted imaginations would never
have dreamed of. But this is no
thing compared with the foul and
dangerous influence spread by the
circulation of Police Gazettes, and
other sensational and indecent pa
Ders that are sold at news stands
and on the public streets; debasing
our youth, and scattering a moral
miasma which feeds the dance house
and the brothel. 1t would be diff

About Il Lincoln School District.

The following. signed by a number of
prominent residents of Lincoln who GER
tify to the Truth of the statements. is sent
us for publication:
People who contribute for missionary
purposes will be interested to learn that
District No. 10 in Lincoln voted, at the
meeting held May 1. to rescind the vote
to build new school house. taken at the
annual meeting. They also refused to
repair the present building, which is not
worth $50, and has no outbuildings. The
scholars attending the school now in SEES
sion answer to the call of nature in the
public Highway. Eight women attended
the meeting for the purpose Of voting to
rescnd the vote to build. There were
grandmothers of children attending the
present school. one is the mother of two
little girls who attend. and. strange to
say. one is IN old school teacher. The
reason given for all this is poverty; and
yet the district has a list of S525. The
new house was to cost 500 and was to
be paid for in four annual iustalments
by the proceeds of Il tax of 81 cents on a
dollar each year.

THE newspapers are specializing good
deal rs to the cause of the disappoint-
ment that they hear expressed over the
news that England and Russia are not to
fight. 1t is said that the natural instincts
of mankind are for war; that these in
stincts are so strong that refinement, cul-
tivation and even the influences of Chris
tianity do not overcome them. While
there may be some truth in this view. it
does not seem to cover the whole ground.
The sympathy of the majority in this
country is with Russia rather than with
England and Gladstone. 1t is not for
gotten. in the North at least, that the lat
ter declared in parliament. during the
progress of the rebellion, that Jefferson
Davis had created nation: nor has the
position taken by England in those days
passed from the recollection of patriotic
Americans. And, seeing Gladstone and
England embarrassed with the Soudan
affair. they hoped for a war with Russia
in which Russia should stand a fair
chance of coming of victorious. This is
why Americans are disappointed at the
peaceful result of the recent differences
between these two great nations.
