DlSRESPECT FOR WOMEN
Correspondent DepIOres The Lack Of
Respect For WOmanhood.

We nave a law prohibiting
'pistol-toting," and law that pro-
hibits the sale of intoxicating liq-
uOrS, but we need law to prevent
men from standing on street corners
and in front of store buildings max
ing all kinds Of vulgar remarks
about women who pass by. We
have often wondered how a man
who has buried a devoted mother,
wife, sister Or daughter could speak
of good woman in any way except
with reverence.
There are ministers of the gospel
who stand around all week with an
eager crowd of men and boys about
them greedily devouring the OBJ
scene stories which he relates. On
the Sabbath these same ministers
will enact a pantomime of entering
the Holy of Holes and communin9
with the Most High. In that last
great day these men will hear the
Master say, "Ye workers of iniq-
uity depart from me, | never knew
you"
How can gray-haired man with
one foot in the grave and the other
on the brink indulge in foul lang
uage? How can he expect to entel
the gates of eternal life when the
Bible plainly says that nothing un
clean can enter thereY
| We once saw a man give his
baby girl to the Lord in baptism
and we wondered then if he expect
ed other men to make vulgar re-
marks about her when she grew tc
womanhood, as we knew him tC
make about his neighbor's daugh-
ters.
The men will talk about the
women having long tonguesl Yes,
women talk too much. They talk
about their neiehbors, their gardens,
their chickens and babies. Also
many an innocent girl has been
ruined by the venomous tongue of
a woman. But the men of the
town and neiehborhood will assem-
bic themselves together and tell
tales that would make the devils in
hell blush if it were not for their
smoke. begrimed faces
We wonder that so many boys
and young men think of nothing
but something mean and low.down
Perhaps that is about all some of
them have ever heard,
We trust what we have said in
our feeble way will cause some man
to right about face and change his
views about how a crowd of men
and boys should be entertained,
