EXCESSES.-To my mind, know
ing what l know, seeing what I:have
seen in various parts of the world,
as well as in Chicago, it would be
well for the government to step in
and curtail the liberty and freedom
that some people acquire.
The laws granting liberty and free
dom should include people abusing
themselves with that which makes
them lower than the beasts of the
field. Rotting livers, kidneys, stom-
achs, spleens, etc., destroy home life
and make the lives of mothers, wives,
sisters and sweethearts a veritable
hell on earth. We might have said
congested ivers, floating kidneys,
gastritis of the stomach, etc., which
would have been more scientific, but
the ruder word, rotting, covers all.
If a man drank, used snuff or to-
bacco and only he himself suffered,
then he might go ahead, but what
might to do to myself to injure my
self, causing my carcass slowly to
rot, causing me to give vent to anger,
hate, malice, emitting poisonous mat
ter from the very pores of my hands,
to anything touch, all these destruc-
tive agencies go far, far beyond my
sphere, therefore it is my place to do
nothing that will interfere with the
normal organic functions of my per-
son. So with every other individual.
For abusing liberty and freedom
the government might well step in
and abolish alcoholics and tobaccos.
A great cry would go up from those
who are making easy living from ILL
gotten gains; but mems bodies would
be healthier, their minds more clear;
asylums, jails, prisons, redlight dis

ANOTHER WIFE's CONFESSION.

HlNO TEN WIT 2 y SSlNT EOOISINs
I just want to write to you and
tell you how very much 1 appreciate
the Confessions of Wife" That is
the truest story have ever read. 1t
seems as though Margie Waverly
were writing the story of my life.
Her thoughts and ideas are exactly
like mine. have often wondered if
any one else thought as l did, be-
cause people think I am the strang-
est person they have ever met.
Dear Aunt Mary, how love her!
1t seems as though l know every
character personally. Mrs. Waverly
wrote, if she had had her baby moth
ing would hurt her. Ihave my baby,
but still the neglect hurts just the
same.
When read of Mollie going to mar
ry Chadwick Hatton how sorry felt
for poor Pat Sullivan. How happy
she is now, but l am just wondering
how long it will be before the love-
light goes out from her eyes? Here's
hoping it never goes out and that she
will never know neglect and unhap-
piness. 1 am only 10, but 1 sit and
think a great deal and get so lone
some l do not know what to do, so
thought I would write to thank you
for the story. Every night can
hardly wait for The Day Book to read
that story, and l can't tell you how
much it helps me.

Town Council Decides to Abbre, iate

Our readers will note this week that
the Town Council have only published
the bills as allowed at their last meet
ing. They did this because this pa
per refused to publish other matter
unless we were paid for 1t the came as
an individual would be charged II they
brought in legal.
This is probably all that is required
by law but with the Council as with
the BUurd of County Commissioners we
do not believe this Is what the Tax
payers want. In fact we know 1t is not
for we have had frequent complaints
because they did not publish the pro-
ceedings SO that the people would
know what was being done and We
think botll bodies are making a mis-
take in not giving to the public their
entire proceedings. For January, Feb
ruary and March of the present year
the difference in the cost of the publi-
cation for the town amounts to only
$40 or Il difference in expense of only
$40 for the year. OF course II the peo-
pie are satisfied we are, but one thing
y sure we are going to play no rov-
orites. We are going to charge the
Town exactly the same as we charge
