The temperance women of Benning-
ton are wondering if the men of our
| town have sufficient backbone to close
the saloons even on election day?
They have thought of sending petit
ion to the 'powers that be-" but to beg
to have done what is so manifestly a
duty and necessity was too great hu-
initiation.
An now they enter a strong protest
that the saloons be closed. The child
rem have died of contagious diseases re-
Gently; their homes were quarantined
and the graded school was closed.
These were wise precautions. Why
not use the same care aud judgment
when far greater evils menace our well
fare?
The saloons are becoming a stencil in
our nostrils-six within stones throw
of the corners, and fifty or more scat
tered throughout the town.
Men and boys are being ruined body
and soul, and the men of Bennington
seem utterly Indifferent to their fate.
Christian men are daily praying DE
liver us from evil" as though they ex-
pected the Lord would do, in some mir
aculous way, what they know is their
duty to do, and theirs alone.
The Lord does not hear such prayers,
and of course they remain unanswered.
Meanwhile the terrible work is going
on. Heart broken wives, mothers and
sisters sit helpless in their agony, while
men, who have sworn to protect them
and enforce the laws, smile at their tears,
or defy them to help themselves.
Where is our special prosecutor, who
promised so faithfully to execute the
laws?
How many saloons has he closed?
Where is the chivalry, The manhood, the
backbone of the men of Bennington
Do they wish their wives, daughters
and sisters to start upon crusade
against the rum holes?
The women of Bennington have not
the spirit of prayer and of pity, with
which the crusade was started in Ohio.
In their desperation, they feel that if
they went to these dens of hell, and
utterly destroyed every particle of the
deadly poison they would be sure to
find, it would be the right thing to do.
The mills of the Gods grind slowly"
but if the citizens of Bennington do not
arise to their duty, God has said, ven
geance is mine, will repay.
A TEMPERANCE WOMAN.
