The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1914-07-14
YOU DID IT.!

Who started the vile lie upon it's
way?
Why, you did! You heartless assas-
sin of regulations! You CHANGED up
on the sweet mOrsel of untruth. You
rolled it around under your tongue,
cunningly embellished it and then
passed it on to some wretch as heart
less and depraved as yourself, who adj
ded quote of lies and dealt it out to
an ever widening circle of thoughtless
fools who did their duty as they saw
it. You muck-rakeri You creature of
the slime, you were the very center of
this concentric circles of SANDER that
have widened and enlarged until they
have reached remote cities and
towns.
Why did you do it? This is why.
Because you are a favorite child OF
the Devil, Prince of Liars, and you
wish to convince people that others
are just as bad as you. Had you not
passed that lie on, you would have
choked If you had not retouched it
and colored it, you would would have
died of jaundice.
| You are a member of the church
and you are always ready to fly into
| the face of anyone who says aught
against your blessed belief, but the
spirit of Christ has never entered
your heart nor the sermon on the
Mount addressed itself to your under
standing.
| If your remarks could have been
confined to those who knwO you
they would not have hurt SO much, for
what you say about your acquaintan-
ces cannot be worse than what your
own family says about you. But re-
marks cannot be confined to circum-
scribed limits.
J A young girl takes a position as
| stenographer Who smirched her
reputation? You, you harry! If you
did not do it with blatant lie you
did it with shrug of the shoulder OF
a toss of the head. Why did you dc
lit? She is better than you. She is
self-sustaining, independent, clear
eyed, thoughtful, chaste. And you!
You are a slattern evil-minded shrew
dependent upon some one-gallusee
lignoramus for your Vlctuals anC
lc1othes. se
A man and his wife had quarrel
Married people who do not quarrel oc
casionally, have no brains, or they are
so unmindful of each other that moth
ling matters What did you do abou
if? You magnified that quarrel int
a battle royal, swOre that they threw
dishes at each other, had separated
and would be divorced. Why did yol
do it? Because you cannot tell the
truth and also because the wretch II
whom YOU carried the news would no
have been pleased with anything 81
ordinary as family quarrel. Botl
YOU and the other creature deal to
gether in superlatiVes.
, Lay this truth to your heart rlSn
now. before you lay down this paper
recall it every time any one attempt
to tell you something harmful aDou
any one else. A scandal-monger
ALWAYS a mirror in which are ref1ecte
the faults complained of. A woma
who on slight evidencse condemns al
, other woman of immortality is hersel
, immoral. Young women who form
!, tcabal to discuss the conduct or tnel
!, friends will bear watching. A drunk
: on man imagines the world is DRUM
r A dope fiend is fully persuaded ever!
I body dopes. A liar thinks on Oh
$ speaks the truth.
: Reputable people of this city hav
o been injured because liars Take
y about them. The reputation OF ID
people of Paris has become a by-war
and a joke in surrounding cities an
towns. A perfect epidemic OF gossl
lis flooding this community. Decen
:. selfrespecting people did not start
Upright people have not circulated
e A few thoughtless, but not vlclou
d have helped, but the great harm nj
e been done by the vicious ana vi
,e talking about their ~betters. Put
n stop to it.
