-_ Sinless Judge and Sinner Judge Smelsor, of Iola, who sentenced a Mra, Roe to the chain-gang for immoral conduct, says: “Tam not against Mrs. Reese personally, but rather I am against the type of women she represents, Such women are the ruination of the rising generation and this sickly sentimentality and soft talk about a lack of chivalry ts positively disgusting.” We assume, for the sake of argument, that Judge Smelser never sullied the pristine purity of his own life by one solitary deviation from the most stringent moral code, If he bad lived. 2000 years ago, he would have been entitled to cast that first stone, Perhaps it took all these decades, however, to raise up a maw Scripturally with out sin and we should be grateful for iiving in the spotlessness his austere judgment tndicates, But Mrs. Reese—poor, sotled, ignorant, hapleas outcast-—ts tt and those ike her who are hurting the rising generation? Was she hedged about during her girlhood by the adequate pro tection of society, or w ye early a prey to that age of consent which makes a girichild a thing to be hunted, rutaod and laughed at? Do such bedraggled, tawdy wrecks of womanhood hold forth to the rising generation examples for envy and emulation? Or do not the chaste wives and daughters, who flaunt their elegant attire, their gains of husbands and fathers, show to the youth of the land the power and glory of Money—-uo matter how obtained?
