OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF MARSHFIKLD. ;; The Slanderer and Gossiper THERE Is something jtucrllo nml contemptible In the man who In life's Kamo, however, It may run, re3orts to scandal as his weapon nml slander and blackmail as his fur. her aids. When such n cur, for mnn ik-fiio noblo a nnnio to stultify It by dcslRtintlnB n moral pervert with tho till, when such a cur makes a woman tho victim of his hideous and coarse assaults, It Is high tlmo thnt decent peoplo had tho measure of his atorals, or lack of morals, and his meanness. Every city and community has Its sharo of Idle, eternal and dangorous jussfp that Is had enough, but when a cur barks his bitterness abroad It jiny not bo amiss to deal with tho evil In a fair and frank fashion for ilie communal good. Today it Is one Individual, tomorrow another that Is to bo traduced and a fair namo dragged through tho foul false hoods of baseless slander by one who wantonly and wittingly besmirches oral bemoans thoso whom ho cannot corrupt or control. The common tattler Is a scourgo nml ovcryono of them finds his or her impulse to talk In tho fact that they, or theirs, arc peculiarly susccptlblo to adverse comment whon comment In necessary, nnd tho first urgenco to sssiadal Is thnt samo vulnerability: therefore gossip, tho godmother of olamlcr, finds hor gunesls In an ugly and Indefensible prcdlcnto nnd with :iaeh stnrt is always mean and contemptible. Tho sneaking cur who oscs the falsehoods of n sneaking, lying, spying girl as tho basis of his slander Is beyond tho charity of men. It has been said thnt women nro worse than men in dlssomlnntlon of nfl talk nnd the passing on of the vicious lie. Wo tnka Issuo with this conclusion nnd brond experience with tale-bearers proves thnt men nro not only as free with their slander but ofton bolder In their work. They leave Innuendo to the women nnd uso tlio hnrsher statement nnd cruollcr Ho with a braggadocla women never dnro omploy. Tho quality of malo gos sip Is plainer, more direct nnd more arrogant becnuso the cur In tho cor 3tt fights, while women, moro retiring nnd sonsltivo to tho open rupturo or attack, take refugo In tlio dlsgulso nnd secrocy of ambiguity, of veiled Jilnttng nnd facllo double-dealing which mny not bo easily fastened upon them or which may bo negatived by tho plea that something olso was meant. 3at, however, the weight of indulgence may He, tho moan nnd slavish iWtl thrives, without apparent lot or hindrance. The real "practition er," tho cur to whom It Is as "meat and bread" koops tho social air of the community nllvo with keen, killing, cruel shnfts, which flash nnd glaro to exposure, mirroring nnd attempted dishonor of homes, families sml tho civic stato generally. It is tho lowest of nil human weaknesses mhI wickedness nnd far and nwny tho most insidious nnd ruinous nnd .IgafnBt which society Is tho most dofoncelesB. Thoro is always tho ono dcpondnblo refugo against tho Blandorous lie, howover, tlio fact that It Is always false, either In term or prodlcnto mil surcharged with gathered atoms of gross misstatement nnd gratul "nu addenda adhering to it In its Might from ono vicious tonguo to tho ntfier, nnd ulwnys nmcnnblo to n sloughing which leaves It. upon honest analysis, n moro bagatelle unworthy tho notlco of decont poople, who glvo it tlio Interest Justifying such annuls. Philosophizing, preaching, schooling, experience, loss, blttor test, rear ttfon. disgrace, nothing effects tho slmdercr and the gossiper. Ho nnd .ftie go on now Just as thoy did In tho cnrllcr civilization and will ufajfatlcHS fester nnd fulminate for a long tlmo to como. It Is part nnd jsxrvol of tho meaner nnturo nnd muBt flmi expression. It mnybo well to Tcniombor, thoso of us who havo con donees at least, thnt overy tlmo wo Ttxot;ulr.o tho known slanderer or bos Ipor, either In n business or soclnl nriy, wo aro stabbing n friend or an Innocent victim unknown to us wjuaroly In tho back, by lending com'ort to n cur nnd IiIh female nccom gtreo fn doing an Irroparablo Injury to another. No mnn or woman, oven tho most exalted types, splendidly pnramount ef- Aniorlcnn vlrtuo nnd honor, nro safe from tho venomous fangs of tho tfrtndoror. Thoro Is nothing too hideous, too coarse, too blttor or too raJwrably far-fetchod for such n cur t(l Hay against honest nnd honorable arnhood nnd womanhood. Unless eh -eked by bnnlshmont or suppression tne slanderer nnd gossiper wither c immunities like n dry rot. This com Tnunlty harbors such a cur that It Is nald has been compelled to movo sum? than onco for tho community's good. Friendships onco as firm ns granite, have been dissolved to Jolly nnd ttcy ran away to wnter only becnuso of slander nnd gossip. A fnthor nnd aua or brothor havo been sot foot to foot with the llory brenth of an nnger that would never cool again between thorn. A huabnnd nnd wife, each Btralning at tho hated leash which In , tho beginning hnd cii tho promise of a Ood-blessed lf0, havo sat mourning by tho sldo of nc grnvo whero nil their lovo nnd nil their Joy lay burled, and nil becnuso jf gossip nnd slander. Ylth has been trnnformod to menu doubt: Joy given place to mean despair and charity itself tnkor on the features of black malovolonco, nil because of tho venomous words of tho gossiper nnd slnndoror. Great crimes, work great wrongs and tho deeper tragedies of human Tlfe spring from tho larger passions, but wooful and most mournful nro ttw nncntalogued trngmlles that Issuo from gossip nnd slnndor. Most mournful the shipwreck often mndo of noblo natures nnd lovoly lives by the bitter winds nnd slimy wnters of slander. So easy to say yot so ill Al so U to dlsprovo or often to to discover whom tho renl culprit mny bo; ikixwfnK on tho Innocent nil thu strain of demonstrating their Innoconco J punishing thorn as guilty If unnblo to pluck out tho strings thoy fcvrer see, nml to silenco words they never hear until too Into to nvort tho fctfiry.
