for public favor. Daniel Sully wishes
to announce that it is bv far the
greatest play he has ever offered. 1t

and pathos, combined with a story

MRS. HowE'S LECTURE.
Mrs. &. II. Howe, state presi-
dent of the Missouri w. G. T. u,
who has been speaking in Vermont
towns since September under the
auspices Of the state organization,
and who recently addressed the leg
spoke at the Congrega- i
tional church Thursday evening. !
There was a good attendance and
the audience was very attentive.
Mrs. Howe is a rapid speaker, but
her words are we'll chosen and she
made many good points.
She took her text from Lamenta-
tions-"Is it nothing to you, all We
who pass by and proceeded to
show that the conditions which
moved the prophet in these early
DAYS to the exclamation are rife in
the morning of the Goth century in
our own country. Vice and crime, {
she asserted, are on the increase in
these United States of ours, vice be-
ing in excess of the population,
which denotes something radically
wrong in the country. i
In Vermont today a righteous law {
that has been in operation for 80
years is on trial for its life, and its
bitterest enemies cannot bring sim
gle, solitary charge against it of hav
ing debauched, degraded or de-
spoiled any grown person, or worked
to the injury of any little child.
What evil hath it done'
To repeal the prohibtory law be-
cause or its violations is the height
of absurdity. There never was a
law passed that wasn't violated.
The law against stealing is violated
every hour in the day, vet nobod,
wants it repealed. More is required
of the prohibitory law than OF any
other statute, which is neither Just
nor right. That with license there
will be no unlawful drinking is not a
strong argument either.
