partment of failure to comply
with the act will be without

LOCAL EDITORIAL

A few weeks ago a lady mis-
sionary spoke in one of the
churches here. Among other
matters, she told of the evils of
Mormonism. The picture she
painted caused a shudder to
pass through the congregation,
when the thought came home of
the ruination of the lives of so
many young women to keep
alive the revolving system of
polygamy. Really, though, is
there any evidence that the
Mormons are any worse than
we are? The other day the
writer stood on street corner
in conversation with an officer Of
the law. A girl passed by. The
officer remarked, There goes a
girl who is on her way to per-
diction." A glance in her di-
rection showed a girl of thirteen
or fourteen years of rather un-
der size. The narrator went on
to state that night after night
this child is chasing the streets
with men of questionable charac-
ter, staying out with them far in
to the night. Furthermore, he
stated that this was not an iso-
lated case. 1t is easy to give a
few dollars toward rescue work
elsewhere, but there is a big
problem to consider right here
at home. How is it to be met?
The case pointed out is but one
of many, so we are told. The
same temptations that are be-
setting the girls are surround.
ing the boys, which only makes
the problem a double one.
tt +
In this connection we will
quote few words from an ar
ticle in the Summit Independent,
headed Pastors Farewell and
written by Thos.. H. Ratcliff, as
heinp TO the nOint.
What is there in Summit for
the boys and girls after leaving
SCHOOL,. For the boys nothing
but mischief, the saloon and the
pool room; for the girls, gossip
ing, streetwalking and dance
room. The fault lies with you,
my friend. You mean well and
deserve good but you are un-
attached and therefore your
strength and desire run to waste.
A good gymnasium, free read
ing room, a suitable conversation
room, a weekly debating or lee
ture club, entertainments for
winter evenings and healthy rec.
reation for summer nights, all
these things are possible with
out breaking anyone's back. The
christian churches must not be
backward in esta ablishing those
things which will be means of
making strong men and pure
women"
