SOME PLAIN TALK
TOO MUCH VICE. WRECKS, SUI.
CIDEs AND MURDER FOR HER.
Mrs. Gabrielle 8. Mulliner Indulges
Gives Her Views of Things at a
Wonan's Meeting.

The New York World says before
seventy-fve women Mrs. Muiliner
read a long paper in which she dis
cuesed the menace to .ociety of wo-
men of the half world. unfalthfui
husbands and divorces. She classed
the city of New York as one huge
receptacle of everything foul under
the sun.
"Theye is more vice per capita IN
New York." said Mrs. MulliDer,
than In any other city of the world.
There are more wrecks, more sui
c,des, more illiteracy, more accidents
upon the public highways, more
thefts, more murders, more depraV-
ity, more misery and distress. And
the woman who surveys 1t all and
understands it all and wants to bet
ter 1t all is beginning to make or
herself a true suffragist."
Mrs. Mulliner said the old Puritan
standards that had Inspired the writ
ing Of "The Scarlet Letter. had been
mashed fat. Women, she said, were
looking upon the breeders OF evil
feminine home wreckers and the like
with pity and patience instead OF
working for legislation that should
punish the woman who enter5 home
and steals a husband as it Furnishes
the thief who breaks In and carries
off the silver.
There Is such thing as the un-
written law" went on the woman
lawyer, "and the written law often
countenances 1t II, upon the spur OF
the occasion. husband kills the man
he finds with his wife. Why should
1t not be Just as much the recognized
right of tho wife to kill the woman
who steals her husband? That thief
is not stealing alone from the family;
she is stealing from the social well
fare and that OF the soul in futurity.
Hers is marvellously wicked crime.
1T Is the woman whom the law
allows to walk the streets and openly
attract men by her bedizement that
is the criminal at the base Of New
York's degeneracy, and at the base
Of the evil in all cities. She Is the
community wife. And the decent wo-
men are not helping conditions Dy
,pIng her in the mater OF the hobble
skirt, the mob hat and the paint and
cosmetic. But even the demi-mol-
iaine and the woman who tolerates
':er existence are not the ones to
hiame. It Is the law Itself and the
:ot;enness in politics that sees the
hing calmly through that IS to
',lame. Good women should work
% become elective constituents Of
-ight-minded men upon the Board OF
Ndermen and in other positions sig
1ifcant to the pubic good.
"Raise the standard by setting a
ralue on chastity! Make an infringe
'nent Of that standard punishable by
law"
Mrs. Mulliner next presented her
pet topic, divorce. Every core
sDondent ought TO be impounded in
the penitentiary for certain term
she asserted. Such an offender
against the public good Is criminal
Of tee worst type"
EYeTv women Rt the meeting
pledged herself to keep close watch
On her own drawing room and to do
her part IN the proposed purging Of
society.

In fact, many of our old citizens
are of the opinion that it will be
the biggest crop in the history of
the county. Better hold your
hogs and feed them corn. Then
the county will not be forced to
import high-priced bacon next
year. Take lesson from the past
and keep your money at home.
