Agrees With DIR. Kelly

Did you hear DIR. Kelly's lecture?
Yes, I heard with a great deal
of pleasure and satisfaction the
lecture upon the ills affecting the
condition of the public health
delivered in this city, a few weeks
ago, by DR.. Kelly. under the aus
pices of the Dauphin County
Medical Society, and heartily
agree with him in every particu-
lar. He made clear and able
diagnosis of the case and force
fully expressed his opinion of the
remedy and the manner in which
it should be applied.
This remedy, in my opinion,
does not mean what is frequent
ly termed a crusade" Personal
ly 1 do not believe in crusades.
They are merely spasmodic at
tempts for the suppression of vice,
productive of no permanent good.
and frequently without any other
result than to give to an ordin-

community a great deal of unde-
sirable advertisement and an un-

quires years to remove
As in the Beginning
Laws have been violated in the
past and will continue to be vio-
lated in the future. Sin is in
herent to man. and no permanent
cure can ever be effected. The
only solution to the question lies
in the successful maintenance of
an active public sentiment that
will continually and constantly
insist upon the suppression Of
all manner of vice and immor-
ality, the performance by public
officers of the duty imposed upon
them and the steady enforcement
of the law.
You may also say, that I shall
be glad at all times to receive ad-
vice and suggestions from all
sources, upon any matter having
for its purpose the advancement
and betterment of the morals Of
the community.

last evening with a curious crowd of
men who were attracted there to hear
the Rev. A. X. Wier pastor of the

help others. Last evenings meeting
held each evening this week. The ad-
