To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Dear Sir: For myself individually and in
behalf of North Capitol Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, of which / have the
honor to be president. want to thank you
for the manly, outspoken and much-needed
editorial in The Star OF February con-
corning the Shea pardon. At a large gath
ering Monday night of representative
Christian men and women nothing was
heard but disapprobation of the President
action and commentator for The Star
When the chief executive of this great ma
ton SO far forgets the best interests of So
ciety, insults the moral element and IAN
ders to the criminal class as to pardon so
notorious laworeaker as Shea the public
press should thunder with no uncertain
sound. The rebuke given in The Star ia
well deserved. We thank you for IL. and
want that you should know how well a
great majority of the people are pleased
with your course.
