BURNING WORDS oUTLAwED.
An authoritative -ExplanatiOn of The
Reform Movement at Bertha, Neb.

Some days ago a dispatch to The Bee
outlined the prospectus OF a society for
the suppression Of swearing organized at
Bertha, Neb. BY way Of frills the dis
patch intimated that the society was COM
posed exclusively OF females, and that the
next step in the reform movement would
be to ostracize socially boys and men ad-
dicted to the shocking habit. Naturally
the males whose liberties were jeopardized
threw a few hot expletives into the VIII
lage gossip, declaring the members Of the
organization had pledged themselves never
to marry a man who swears, and declaring
In tones Of indignation: THE girls should
wait until they are asked" In this way
envious and malicious spirits sought to
array the sexes against each other in a
community where peace and harmony,
hearth fires Of joyous union. hitherto
reigned. Newspapers we're made uncon-
scious vehicles Of magnihed gossip piled
about a solitary fact. It is a source Of
qualification to be able to reveal that fact
and restore, in part at least. the union
which has made Bertha the envy and
despair OF rival villages.
