Petersburg Editor Tears Into GOssips of

{Petersburg Report)

Petersburg Report
 @ Worse than the evils of strong drink are the evils of gossip Strong drink causes the downfall of men and women who are too weak to withstand it's ravages but gossip causes the downfall of innocent and women, men and women who are the heads of families and living honorable and upright lives
 Gossip those who have been friends to part
 Gossip has blasted the name of more honest, up- right and vrtuous than all the drink in the world Like unto the serpents tooth is the sneering word spoken behind the back
 There is old saying that Truth can never overtake the evils which have caused its downfall. the lightning while true facts are as the snail.
 Gossip has caused hard feelings in Peters burg than all the saloons that existed here. Gossip has driven honorable and away who would have made good citizens but who have left rather than endure the misey of malicious tongues.
 Gossip is the offspring of idleness. If all the women and kept busy attending to their own affairs they would be too busy to spread talk about others mind the affairs of others. Many unthinking woman who has nothing better to occupy her time than to talk about her neighbors
 Petersburg is gaining unenviabe reputation for this evil; unless it is stopped great evils will result Three women meet:
 Mrs So and So left for the South a certain boat says
 Yes and such and such a man on the same boat, says another.
 Why they went together and coming back, says the third, and the gossip has started Within day the reputation of the absent woman IS blasted although she may have been good wife md her trip may have been from entirely innocent
 
 Gossip investigates, never looks for facts never recognizes the truth but is like a vampire sucking its life blood from the filthy thoughts of its authors and those who listen to it.
 Filth is the life of gossip and if thoughts clean gossip cannot live

 Marriage teaches us that it is a durn sight easier to follow woman than it is to lead her. A woman's idea of an appropriate lid to wear to the movies would probably be a picture hat with a filmy stuff on it. There are so many bum sports in the world that every man believes that he gets the worst of an evn break
 together on the same premises. But you can't raise a small boy and a prize fern on the same premises. Anyway, the year 1918 will be not able for the crope of hopeless white hopes it produced z Your affinity may look to be the whole cheese when you are happy and carefree. But your wife sure looks good to you when you are sick. Any married man can tell you that 2 wife is person who is always wanting something she can't afford.
 Don't get discouraged just because you make a few mistakes. Every big league breaks into the error column occasionally.
 Funny how meek-looking little men want strong cigars and how big husky men prefer mild cigars.
 Never let your head get swelled. You will find that the acquaintances from whom you have been separated IS long as six weeks have forgotten all about you.
 A wife would have mighty few quarrels with her husbands if she would proceed upon the theory that what she doesn't know won't hurt her.
 When her face is her fortune and his face is her fortune the betting is that they will put their fortunes to- gether after he has called on her ike or six times.
 And you may have noticed that the girl who. is just, crazy about Holsters isn't a bit that way after she marries one.

Each of us from his and through his little telescope attempts to form true concep- tion of the material and moral condition of human
 life as brought about by the war. So limited is our vision however, that constantly look through the eyes of people who have further and more than ourselves. Through those of other have we beheld a vision picturesque, or vivid and appalling than through those of Frank A. Van derlip one of the greatest of financiers At a meeting of the Economic Club in New York City he summed up his observations and conclusions during and after his recent trip through Eurofe.
 It was a. dark picture which he painted from which it would be delightful to turn away as from some incomprehenshle and impossible cubist can To reproduce that picture in few brief words would be impossible, but its principal features can at least, be mentioned Financially the whole of Europe is saddled with almost inextinguishable debt and Hooded with flat money, rapidly depreciat- ing in value Commercially business all but at standstill from lack of capital and material. Physicallyx hunger and ,exlfausion are decimatine the population and millions literally starving to death.

With the wolves bowling at their doors they are ready to destroy the foundations of the existing order and throw the world into a. primitive of lawIessness
