ABOUT OUR TOwNSMAN
HON. NJ. X. SMITH
The American Minister Transmits to
General Oreste Zamor the Congrat-
ulations of President Wilson.


This morning at 1890 o'clock the
Honorable Madison r. Smith, Envoy
Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of
the United States of America, was re-
ceived at a private audience by Gen
eral Oreste Zamor, president Of the
Republic, to whom he transmitted the
congratulations Of tn President on the
occasion of his election to the First
Magistracy of the State.
The Honorable Mr.. Smith was ac-
companied by the Captains Of the
SOUTH CAROLINA and MASH
VILE"
The ceremony was clothed with a
simplicity Of character which greatly
heightened its significance. This bril-
liant mark Of confidence given TO the
Government of General Zamor was
welcomed by the President with salts
faction. 1t will have a Statutory echo
in all spheres. 1t is new guage Of
the excellent disposition which has
from the outset animated American
diplomacy toward the present power.

SCIENCE IN SEX MATTERS


The policy of retience which we
have maintained in the bringing up
of boys and girls in the nineteenth
century, certainly did not minimize
in any way the risk of social pun
ishment that the disclosure of sexual
immortality involved; and this was es-
pecially so with girls. Therefore, It
would seem to be idle to argue that
under the old system there was not
present a restraint OF the utmost
force operating upon all young girls
TO prevent their yielding to such
temptation.
1t may be that they did not know
the truth, anatomical, physiological
and pathological, but they knew what
the wages OF sin were: and the num-
ber of instances in which girls could
be led into sin, without knowing that
, they were SHINING, is so small that
in a candid discussion, it is to be
treated as negligible.
Nor is it at all c1ear-indeed, ex-
! perience seems to show otherwise
| that young men will be deferred from
sexual immortality because of the aw-
full consequences that may follow
from infectious disease. 1t is true
that there is some evidence that a
knowledge OF the awful results that
may follow an immoral course ON the
part Of a young man for his innocent
wife and children in future marri-
age, sometimes acts as a deterrent
but the general rule seems TO be that
in those who indulge in immoral
practice, the passion Is so strong. the
power of restraint so little. that the
young man takes the chance either OF
escaping infection or OF effeeting
! cure. should he be unfortunate.
When the moral training and tht
/ fear of social condemnation involved
In public discclosure fail to operate al
sufficient restraining force, the DIFF
