Are all the names on the list now

the victims OF the 'mentioner?"
Nothing Is more characteristic Of
our one-sided Vermont politics than
this biennial mentioning" frivol that

helps all too often to misrepresent
some good citizen before the public
Many a man that never entertained
the slightest idea OF seeking an Office
awakes some morning to find that he
is posed before the people of Yer
mont, as having that bee in his bon
net and to discover that his every
move in the ante-convention period Is
thereafter followed and interpreted in
the light of a personal interest or am
bition that has been credited to him
without his knowledge or consent.

words so that the victim is not actu'
ally represented as a positive self
seeking cndldate. The average read

ordinations and easily falls into the
impression that So-and-So. who has
in reality only been suggested, Is al
out-and-out aspirant for place. Ant
this popular impression follows hin

to find In after time that large par

slnless JUDGE and Simmer

Judge Smelzer of lola who sentenc-
ed Mrs. Reese to the chain gang for
immoral conduct, says:
Il am not against Mrs. Reese per
sonally, but rather | am against the
type of women she represents. Such
women are the ruination of the rising
generation, and this sickly sentiment
tally and soft talk about lack of chiv-
airy is positively disgusting"
We assume for the sake OF argu-
ment, that Judge Smelzer never sui
lied the pristine purity of his own
life by one solitary deviation from the
most stringent moral code.
II he had lived 1000 years ago, he
would have been entitled to cast that
first stone. Perhaps it took all these
decades, however, TO raise up a man
scripturally without sin, and we
should be grateful for living in the
spotlessness his austere judgment In
dicates,
But Mrs. Reese-poor, soiled, ignor-
ant, hapless outcast-is 1t indeed she
and those like her who are hurting the
rising generation?
Was she hedged about during her
girlhood by the adequate protection
of society, or was she early prey
to that age of consent which makes
a girl-child thing to be hunted, ru'
ined and laughed at?
Do such bedraggled wrecks OF WON
anhood hold forth TO the rising gener
alton examples for envy and emula
ton? Or do not the chaste wives
and daughters, who fiaunt their eleg
ant attire, their beautiful homes and
smart equipages. bought with the i'll
gotten gains of husbands and fathers
show to the youth OF the land the
power and glory of Money-no mat
ter how obtained?
Isn't Mrs. Reese representative o.
the last worthless by-product of soc
ial neglect?
We are willing to reform men anC
II is right. The old ideas of yenge
ance yield TO the theory of reclama
ton.
We no longer abhor the drunkard
we put him in hospitals
We no longer despise the drug fien'
we place him in sanitariums
But the woman whose vile calling
could not exist one day except for tn
patronage of men, she and she alone
must still by law and public opinion
be treated without charity or mercy

OHIO WAKES TO SHAME
Legislature for Years Burning
Crimson Disgrace

Nothing more sordidly and shame
lessly crooked has ever come to the
surface than Ohios legislative scan
dal And yet, strangely enough, those
who have been in touch with Ohio
affairs for the past several years can
only shrug their shoulders and wonder
that the expose has been so long de-

For as a matter OF fact-cold, indis-
putable fact-the Ohio legislature has
been, for score OF years. a burning
crimson disgrace.
Ohio has put up with conditions
that few states would tolerate. Col.
umbus, the capital has for years echo
ed with scandal Members of Ohio's
legislature have talked openly and
brazenly of the amount OF money they
believed their votes to be worth. Such
state of affairs was reached three
years ago that one member OF the
house In spirit of alcoholic frank
ness. declared in corridor OF the
Southern hotel that he ought to have
Ave hundred dollars tonight" In con-
sideration OF his prospective opposi-

Few who heard him took offense;
bribery was looked upon apparently
as more or less legitimate, just as
vote selling in Adams county was 9

A member of the state senate (he II
