men saved.
On every hand crimes are com
mitted daily, and largely they glow
out OF disregard Of marriage VOWS,
as was the case in the Maryland
murder. There a man whose wife
and Child resided in New York City
met woman whose husband was
in California--the first untrue to his
wife, the second untrue to her hus-
band. These two became "particu-
lar friends" going here, there and
yonder together, ending in infatua-
ton, murder and suicide.
This class OF vice and sin and
crime Is bound to increase unti' the
American people, rich and poor
alike, recognize that we have stepped
down from the high moral plane of
our forefathers, and bring ourselves
once again to full realization of
our rightful position in the bettering
of ourselves and our fellow men, and
the raising Of our country from the
depths Of moral turpitude into which
disregard Of right has brought it.
