FACTS AND OPINIONS GATHERED
FROM CONTEMPORARIES.
THOSE GADD1NG GIRLS.

The Era has been asked to publish an
editorial that recently appeared in the
Emporia, Kansas, Gazette, that is sup
posed to have been written by William
Allen White, than who there are few
better or stronger writers. The article
should first be read by the parents, next
by the parents to the girls and last by
the gadding girls themselves. 1t is as
fOllows:-
The mothers of this town have had
lesson-but it dosen't seem to have
done them any good. There are Just as
many girls gadding around town after
school now getting their mail from
| private boxes in the post Office as there
were 10 days ago. Two years ago the
! Gazette went after the mothers of En-
poria for neglecting their daughters
and the result was that a half dozen
private mail boxes were discontinued and
Il lot of little girls that were in the habit
Of gadding too much were kept in for
a time
Those girls are now developing into
| fine Young women. but another crop of
gadding' girls has come ON and the
/ Gazette hopes no ones modestv will be-
shocked by saving that these little nus
sizes ought to be- spanked good and red.
They are between II and II years old
and are Just SO everlastinglv boy struck
! that they can't sit still. If their mothers
know thetype of boys and interviewing
humau plUs-thcSe girls are running
with their mothers would throw tits.
But their mothers know nothing of
the situation. They think their litt,
girls are so sweet and pure That nothing
can harm Them The truth g. fl9t Those

Memorial day will endure says the Brat
tleboro Phoenix The soldiers will come
in for the greatest attention ON that day,
but the custom of honoring the memory
of those now gone who were near and
dear to us is growing. There is nothing
finer in life than sentiment, and it is Il
good form of sentiment to intensity each
year the memory of those relations
which were the best part of life. Let
us not forget that our sorrows are
worth having.

PISTOLS AND cOFFEE.

We gather from some remarks of the
Nergennes Enterprise that it does not
entertain the kndliest feelings toward
the Bristol Herald. This a fair inference
from the following editorial comment:
That comminuted intellectualist, the
Bristol Herald, always steps over the
border line of decency when it gets into
a tight place and plunges into the yiscid
slime of personal abuse. We are I'M
able to follow the Herald in its favorte
diversion of mud bathing, even though,
as it emerges. dog fashion. the filthy
spray may be shaken in our direction. ''
We detect bias here, and we feel that
under provocation the Enterprise might
temporarily lose control of itself and call
the Bristol Herald anything but gentle
man and scholar Rutland Herald.

We commend the following from the
Montpelier Daily Journal to the thought
full consideration of all our readers
AS the years 60 by, the need of
temperance work along practical lines
will be more apparent in Vermont, The
Temperance enthusiasts of the state have
heretofore bent all their energies to pre-
venting the source of all intemperance
from getting hold in Vermont. Their
methods of procedure We're more or less
impracticable and they failed in conse-
quence. The liquor traffic is legalized
and the way is clear for the temperance
societies to work for their ideals along
lines approved 10y those who have been
successful in other states.
Here in Vermont there has been too
much attention paid to the law, and too
little to the teaching Of the lessons OF
temperance and self-restraint.

At the annual convention of the Con-
gregational churches of Vermont held
at Burlington last week the following
significant resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That the Congregational
churches of Vermont, i'm convention
assembled, refuse to regard the open
saloon licensed for private gain as a
satisfactory or final solution Of the liquor
problem. We believe the only fruit of the
present law so far apparent is a marked
increase in the Incorporate consumption
of liquor; nevertheless, we believe that
the statute should be fairly tested, and
that all laws, whatever they may be,
should be enforced.
1--WE therefore call for a strict observ-
ance Of the instructive features of this
law and study open-mindedly tine re-
suit. We seek TO create, by all influ-
ences in our power, the extension of
personal temperance and by investiga-
ton and agitation to prepare the way
for legislative enactments which shall
more fairly represent the conscience of
our churches.
Resolved, That a committee of in
quiry consisting of five members, with
power TO enlarge their number, be ap-
pointed to investigate the subject of
temperance legislation in the light of the
latest facts and the needs of our state,
TO report their conclusion at the next
meeting of this body.
