JOIN the party of Flenner and Arney and
Dubois and Jackson in order that their
husbands, fathers and sons be taught
lesson on the question of social purity?
Is it the western man who is supposed
in the east TO pack a six-shooter on each
hip and take his occasional bath in blood
but who does not really do so. to be eX-
plotted as the greatest moral sinner on
earth by these crusaders from that hot
bed of purity-New York City?
How about the private character of
their own men? Wouldn't it be as well
for these "social purity ladies of the
east to reform their own husbands and
leave US poor men alone in our iniqui-
ties? Why not devote little attention
to the reformation of New York City
and Chicago and New Orleans and Phil
adelphia, if you please, instead of at
tempting to reform Idaho. Baltimore
might need little instruction; also Bos-
ton and possibly Pittsburg.
This question of "social purity is not
confined within state limits and it has
vet to be demonstrated that the womer
of Idaho and the men of Idaho are les:
pure than inhabitants of other states
At least they require no lesson from
abroad.
The women of Idaho are not to be de
ceived by the false arguments OF i'm
ported campaigners. -Pocatella Tribune
