This is a subject that should be deep
ly and seriously considered, not only
those who already reside in our town,
but especially by those contemplating
making this their future home and rear
ing their children here
Conditions, environments-close and
intimate associations, are largely re-
sponsible as to what our children may
be. Home life is not what it used to
be, owing largely to changed conditions
in our advanced civilization. Greater
freedom-more unrstrained liberty, and
the frequent coming together at vari-
Gus places Of amusement has developed
the social instinct in our people-which
holds, either a grave menace and dan
ger, or splendid oppotunitv-for the
development Of the highest social NOR
ais and religious sensibilities.
The danger, and often fatal calam-
ity Of any community lies in low
moral code, and lax and careless regard
for sacred and religious ideals.

 sharp words followed, and the visitor called the editor a coward and left, rowing that a man who was afraid to print the news had no right to be an editor. To our mind, that editor was a brave man. The irformer who de- manded that his name be kept secret, was the coward. The editor ran a paper in small
