Mr.. EDITOR: While newspa per con /.
troversv IS anything but interesting 10 the
public. your corre= pondent begs leave to .
say, in reply to the article from &C. in last .
weeks MONITOR. that We were not '!nis .
informed il regard 70 statements made .
by Mrs. Fessendeu. but reported what We
distinctly understood her O say. And as
these remarks have called forth severe
criticisms from large proportion Of her
best listeners, z 10 are ready to substan-
tiate the statements reported by your
CORES ondent. it would har5Iy seem
probable that we entirely misunderstood,
O misinterpreted the speaker. We would
$50 add that these criticisms did not .
c ONE from those who oppose the cause in .
question. If you % not think as dc
about this matter was not given as 8 quo
tatiop from the lecture. Mrs. Fessenden .
did not say just these words. but that was
theidea which lead up to those expressions,
or in other words. if you have not at
tanned to this advanced way Of looking a .
the matter, ''it i on account OF your igno- .
rance" And later on, after very fairly
dealing with her subject and the advan- +
tages to be gained from '.equaI citizen
Ship the sentiment conveyed was. that il .
one cannot understand it IN that light il +
Is because ''they don't know anything"
However we admit that SUCH expressions /
do not seem in harmony with person Of F
the culture ability. and quality Of Mrs.
Fessenden. And while :. remains a fact .
that they were listened to in a public lee +
ture, it might have bsen better to have
left them undisturbei. That ''Vermont" +
should be first to criticise such an lin
fuence'' Is perhaps unfortunate, but we
trust she viii eventually rise to her former +
charitable position and III the future re-
frain from passing adverse criticisms upon /
distinguished representatives, from her /
sister states.
