Editors Letter Box
A Question for Mr.. Thompson,

Editor Kennebec Journal:
If there are any Journal readers who
dId not read the letter Of Past State
Master Gardner in recent issue,
touching the question of equal suffrage,
they certainly should have done so, as
expresses the sentiment Of large
majority of the members of the order
At the annual meeting of the State
Grange in Portland. in 1902, Mrs. Car
RE Chapman Gait, during an open ses-
sion, gave a very interesting talk on
equal suffrage, and at a later session
Of that meeting, the grange, by
unanimous vote, adopted a resolution
in favor of giving the tax-paying
women of Maine. the right to vote.
Later bill in favor Of this proposition
was introduced in the legislature, re-
ferred to a committee, which evident
ly reported favorably as it was voted
on in each branch Of the legislature.
At that time the present state master
was lecturer of the State grange, and
a member Of the House of Represen-
tatives, and on a yea and nay vote on
this BILL he voted, no; evidently be-
cause he was not in favor Of it; but
there were many members of the or
der who believed that holding so i'm
portant an office in the grange, ne
should have voted yes. and thus en-
dorsed the action taken by the grange.
Since that time, a large number of
the subordinate and Pomona oranges
have endorsed equal suffrage. and the
State grange has repeatedly adopted
resolutions in it's favor and thera aro
many members of the order who
would like to know just what Bro.
Thompson's position is regarding this
constitutional amendment, not so
much as to his personal position. as
that Of the head of the order Of Pat
rons OF Hushandry in Maine, with a
total membership Of about $1,000; and
what part, if any, the grange is to
take in this campaign.

Army and Navy Must Fiaht Vice.


In August Physical Culture Bernarr
Macfadden writes:
A report was recently circulated
that whole regiments OF the Austrian
Army had been disbanded because of
sexual diseases.
OmciaIs OF the United States Army
and Navy have recently shown active
interest In the elimination of the vice
resorts that ordinarily spring I'D like
mushrooms wherever soldiers are sta.
toned.
When a young man is away from
nome and free from the restrictions
which have hitherto bound him. he is
peculiarly liable to temptations that
would not ordinarily appeal to him.
The demand for female companionship
or the part of young men springs from
& dominant impulse in human nature.
II they have leisure they are abso-
tuely sure to seek the comprehensive
OF the opposite sex. If they cannot
find decent, respectable girls, they will
take whatever sort they can get.
If the soldier has an opportunity TO
come In touch with family life. to talk
with and associate. even on infreouent
occasions. with respectable young wo-
men he will be much less inclined to
seek female companionship in the
faunts Of vice.
1t Is tbs Governments duty to pro-
tect the young men that are being
placed in its care. Vice resorts of
every sort should be removed from the
vicinity of training camps; the i'm
moral women who frequent such dis
tricts will often infect an entire camp.
There are wounds deeper and more
lasting than any made by the arms of

cscapade. even death might, in some
cases, be preferable.
