A Wave Of Reform.

There il a wave OF reform sweeping
over this country that will never cease
until every evil is stamped out and good
is established throughout the land
Everywhere people are demanding that
criminals. high and low, cease their OPP
erations; that they he apprehended and
tried in the courts Of our country. and
that Justice be meted out TO them in
full measure. There is sentiment
spreading in every State in the Union
against crime and vice Of every nature,
it matters not how insignificant. In
deed the day has dawned when the
breakers Of law and doors Of evil, big
and little, rich and poor, are being
marched up to the toe line, and 'sight
down the finger points of mighty JUS
tice, =" they behold the handwriting upon
the wall, and the fOrtresses Of these
latter-pay Belshazzars are crumbling
like pillars Of ashes. The procession OF
those who are carrying on this good
work is going steadily on, growing as il
goes. and the people everywhere. of
every religious faith and every political
belief, in every walk of life, are join
ing hands and hearts in the crusade be-
ing mace against vice throughout the
whole country. In Kentucky Governor
Beckham is receiving the plaudits Of

the evil-dOers on thegO. Mayor Weaver
of Philadelphia has "Iindled fires" UNI
der the nestlings Of things and thieves
in that city, and his efforts TO put down
evil by an enforcement of the law have
been felt by the scalawags and law
breakers throughout the whole State Of
Pennsylvania. And now comes reports
from New York and from Chicago that
the people of those two great cities are
taking up this grand reform movement,
and will strive to become leaders in this
glorious fight TO put down evil and es-
tablish higher standard of morality
throughout the entire country.
These reform movements are not due
to the work of any political party they
are due to a determination on the part
Of the people TO pinion crime, to con-
Wet criminals and to build thrones upon
which righteousness must reign. Peo-
pie Of all political parties are behind the
servants In Office, demanding that they
perform their duties we'll, and behind
the people is that mighty power, the
consciousness of right.
Yea, this movement Of reform is
spreading, and evil is on the wane.
The "grafters" and other thieves in
high positions are being brought down
on the level with the petty thieves and
common criminals, and are receiving
punishment in accordance with the enor-
nifty Of the wrong committed.
All hail to the worldwide movement

Good Roads.

At the good roads convention in Tai
lahassee a deeper interest was inspired
and a broader conception was gained OF
the question of improved highways fol
Florida.
In State like ours all sorts and con.
ditiOns of men and women are more OF
less dependent upon the best means OF
communication and transportation
Good road building is public matter,
and greater necessity than some real
ize. We are far behind in the cOnstruc-
ton and maintenance Of good roads
which is a reflection on our energy.
The difference between good roads
and bad roads is the difference between
profit and loss. Good roads have a
money value far beyond our conception.
Good roads mean prosperous farmers
bad roads mean abandoned farms and
sparsely settled country districts.
Everyone should have an abiding in
terest in the all-absOrbing question of
better highways. II means progress
and prosperity, a benefit to the people
who live in the cities and an advantage
to the people who live in the country,
and it will help every section in our vast
domain.
Good roads, like good streets, make
habitatiOn along them most desirable;
they enhance the value of farm lands,
facilitate transportation, and add untold
wealth to the producers and consumers
Of the country; they are the milestones
marking the march Of civilization; they
economic time, labor and money; they
save wear and tear and worry and
waste; they beautify the country, bring
II in touch with the city, and aid the
s.I Il a
industrial advancement of the people;
they make better homes and happier
hearthsides; they are the avenues Of
trade, the highways of commerce, the
mail routes of information, and the
agencies of speedy communication; they
mean the economical transportation Of
marketable products - the maximum
burden at the minimum cost; they are
the ligaments that bind the country to-
gether in thrift and industry and intel
ligence and patriotism; they promote
social intercourse, prevent intellectual
stagnatiOn. and increase the happiness
and prosperity Of our producing masses
they contribute to the glory Of the cOun-
try, give employment TO our idle work
men, distribute the necessities Of life
the products Of the fields and the for
ests and the factories encourage en-
ergy and husbandry, inculcate love for
our scenic grandeur, and make mankind
better and greater and " ander.
Good roads have made the glory OF
the nations Of the past, and good roads
will add to our greater glory and make
us all that we hope to be, the most be-
nefcent power that ever blessed an ad-
vancing and progressing humanity. -

expressed by DR.. Louise G. burlington,
of Massachusetts:
cit would be difficult to overestimate
the work accomplished by Mary H.
Hunt. 1t makes no difference where or
by whom the seed-thought was dropped;
it terminated in her achieving soul and
came to splendid fruition.''
The inception, as told by her Hyde
Park pastor, Rev. Perley B. Davis, was
something in this wise. Mrs. Hunt was
one of band of earnest, praying
women, the comfort and blessing of
pastors heart. Mr.. Davis said to her
at one time: MRS. Hunt, you are fitted
for larger place in the world, wider
service The seed was dropped; the
terminating time was very serious ill
ness that followed. During that illness
the call came-something in the nature
of a vow. eff I recover" she said in

The Vermont WAY

The jury in the case of the State of
Vermont against Almon White, of Rich
ford, charged with the illegal sale of
liquor, growing out of the so-called
wood alcohol poisoning case, came into
court of st. Adams on Saturday after
noon with verdict of guilty of four
offenses, and the respondent was SEN
fenced to pay fine of $4,000 and costs
of prosecution, with an alternate SEN
tence of Imprisonment in the house of
correction of three days for every dollar
of the fine and COSTS
If the alternative sentence is taken
by White it means that he will serve
nearly seventeen years in the house of
correction at Rutland for four violations
of the Vermont excise law.-Ticonde-

The brief announcement in our last
issue of Mrs. Mary H. Hunts transla-
ton was, to many of our readers, the
first intimation that the valiant leader
of our Scientific Temperance Instruc-
ton department was other than in her
usual robust health Though she was
unable to attend the Los Angeles con-
vention-the first national convention
she had missed in twenty-six years
her work has gone on without Interrupt
ton and her friends and co-workers
hoped that her illness was but tempo
rary. The news that she had been
called to higher fields of service came
with a shock of unbelief, and it is only
now, after she has been laid away to
rest, that we fully realize the loss sus-
tanned.
The story of the battle for scientific
temperance instruction for the children
of this country and of the world has
been, in sense, the life story of Mary
H. Hunt. Words of eulogy and appre-
citation of her heroic achievement have
come to us from many pens. The trib
ute of the rank and file in the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union is fittingly

Mrs Hunts especial fitness for this
work has not been, perhaps, thoroughly
understood and appreciated. In her
student days she developed a decided
taste for science, especially chemistry
and physiology, and she afterwards be-
came a teacher of these branches. A
solid basis was thus acquired for fur
Their educational work along these lines,
and it was while assisting her son in
some chemical experiments during his
course at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology that Mrs. Hunts attention
was first called to the nature and con-
sequent effects of alcohol as a beverage.
Recognizing the necessity of profound
knowledge on the subject, she began
to study it with systematic thorough
ness Her introduction to the national
convention of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union held at Indianapolis
in 1879, and her subsequent career as
superintendent of this important de-
partment are matters of current w. G.
