Uncle John Hindman Says Pearson
Places Low Estimate Upon
Female Virtue.
To The Newark Journal:

Probably you have noticed that
my friend Pearson is a hustler.
He gets in two articles to my one.
Well, | don't blame him for want
ing to make up in quantity what
he lacks IN quality. | did not
think that he could be freed" so
soon. In diatribe No. 2, he sets
out by insinuating on the morals
of certain persons, your humble
servant, for instance: but as to my
morals, [ will refer him TO my
neighbors and to all who know
me, and if my morals do not com
pare favorably with his, then |
will treat hinn to II spoonful of fiue
snake oil. My morals do not con
sist, however, in loud amens made
in public. Sometimes morals adj
vertised that way are hypocritical
He seems to know all about the
intentions and non-intentions of
the Creator. Ia fact from reading
his essay, one would suppose that
he was one of the trusted viceroys
of God. he says that God did
not create alcohol. Therein he as
sumes To speak for God. And if
commissioned SCI TO do, he Is the
vieeroy OF God to conduct His af-
fairs here on earth Who in the
world would have "thunk" it!
According to his theory the
kernal 81 a hickory nut was not
created, because it does not hang
on the outside Of the nut. But
my friend is excusable, as this is
about on an average with prohi
ideas. He speaks very enthusiasts
tieally about helng on Gods side:
does be know that he is on His
side! He condemns Gods works;
condemns what He undoubtedly
knew would come to pass. Yet he
wants to claim TO be on Gods sidel
If you were to 90 job of work,
and II man took It upon himself to
90 around over the country con
demning it. would you consider
him on your side, or on the side
of the other fellow His argu-
ment Is as weak rs Il rope of sand.
He says that God did not create
alcohol, yet in the next sentence,
he says that He did create corn,
wheat, rye. etc. Now everybody
knows that the grain would not be
perfect if il did not contain alec
hol. He says and with the Gre
alton Gods responsibility ceases,
and man S moral agency begins >
Do YOU suppose that the Crea
tor did not know from the very
beginning what man would doI To

doubt the knowledge of God in
one thing is to doubt Him in all
things. He gave to man his dis
position. He knew exactly how
he would use it. BY His decree
the temptation comes before US,
and He knows whether we will
partake of it or not. He knows
the cause of our coming into the
world and He knows what cause
will ia Ike us out of the world.
Friend Pearson speaks of person
whom he calls Satan" as being the
one who controls the destiny of
mankind to a great extent. | pre-
sumo that my friend thinks that
this man Satan is one who has un
limited power, regardless of the
power and wishes of God. Emil
nent men all over the world are
fast coming to the conclusion that
my friends acquaintance of whom
he speaks is of mythical origin,
and is used solely as a prohi scare
crow.
Friend Pearson says that there
are thirty thousand people in the
United States who fill drunkard's
graves annually" Well said, my
friend. That proves what | have
said in my former essays; that is
TO say, that it is Gods design to
remove from the human family all
those who cannot resist tempta-
ton, so that the human race may
attain to a higher standard, in
stead of degenerating. You say
they GO to damnation. | say that
you cannot prove it. You say that
you know that / do not approve of
men getting drunk; that is one of
your assertions that is true. That
is what | am working for, to Grad
icate the desire to get drunk, As
| have said before, | have raised
five boys TO manhood. | never
tried to keep one Of them out of
saloon, | never tried to keep one
of them from taking drink of
whiskey when he wanted it and
none of them are drunkards. |
can show them with pride as good
citizens. And the whole matter
in a nutshell is, that | kept plenty
of whiskey for their mother in her
period of CESSATION. Prohi teach
ing is what makes drunkards. You
can't preach away the law of ma
ture.
Now, let us see about your FIVE
million fallen women. You want
to lay that charge to intemper-
ance in the use of alcoholic liquors, |
when everybody knows that fallen
womanhood is attributable to 9th
er and more detestable causes.
The church itself is not immune
from harlotry. Mr.. Pearson is
not we'll posted in this matter, be-
sides he places very low estimate
on female virtue. He says we
have five million fallen girls, whose
average life of dissipation is about
five years. y Ladies what do you
think of thisl Don't you think
that he places low estimate on
your chastity! La the year of
1900 the female population of the
United States was 30,710,613 of
all ages. And of these there were
1925, 1868 under fourteen years
of age. This would leave 7,761,-
677 females over the age of four
teen years in the United States
for the year 1900. Our prohi
statistician has the brass" to say
that over one fourth of the female
population, over fourteen years of
age, are harlots. / know better
than that; don't YOU! / take it as
