LETTER WHICH MOTHERS
MIGHT BE INTERESTED TN


My Dear Mr.. Watson: In reading
a book of essays (Women and the
Aiphabet), by T. w. Higginson. T
came across the following, of which
l thought you might make use for
the purpose of quotation, or to fill
up an odd corner. 1t occurs on page
2O7, under the title, Society,"
An able newspaper writer.
quoted with apparent approval by
the Boston Daily Advertiser
praises the supposed foreign method
for the habit of dependence and
Difference that it produces: and
because it gives to a young man a
wife whose habit of difference is
established. But it must be renem-
bered that, where this theory is es-
tab1fshed, the habit of Difference is
logically carried much farther than
mere conjugal convenience would
take it. It's natural outcome is the
authority of the priest, not of the
husband. That domination Of the
Women or France by the priesthood
which forms even now the chief
peril OF the Republic-which is the
strength Of legiU1mism and imperial
ism and all other conspiraeies
against the liberty of the French
peoples the only visible and in
evitable result of this dangerous
decility."
This paragraph might cause some
motAer who contemplates sending q
daughter to convent schee1 for the
sake of the accomplishments to be
therein obtained, to pause before
putting her unWise intentions into
effect. Yours truly,

PROKRBFTTONIST ASKS WHY
WE DON'T SUPPORT HIS
TICKET,

Dear Sir: I am a prohibitionist.

Democratic Party. Why do you do
that? 1t is Roman Catholic and a
whfsRey party. Why not vote the
Prohibition ticket? 1t is not con
tre1led by the Roman Catholics.
The ''Clean Politics. admits anti
RSman Catholic ads. I conclude ven
exchange with that paper. Southern
people vote the Democratic ticket
because of the negro question. The
prohibition party is not a negro

trelled by Roman Catholics. Come

for pure democracy for twenty-five
years, while, at the same time year
those who beast en- party loyalty
and yet vote against pure dem

pedia, page 1888, democracy is thus
defined: That ferm ef government
in which the sovereign power Is in
the HANDS OF the people collectively,
and Is exercised by then either
directly OF indirectly through elected
representatives or delegates Have
we got this forna of democracy in
