WKST commenting oa the deplorable outbreak, uri : " r-ioce Amrr lean women hire thua demonal rated 1 hat the jr ran Jo ho ehall mj that women have sot th right to rote? " Why on ruth women ahould cheriah inch tiller fr-tlinjrt jenerally toward the) raloon keeper, I rui md undmtand. I bold that the men who patronlie aaloona art no better than ihe men who nU li'iaor. Tint it polling It itroagly, I knot ; hat the fact U if men of prominence and Influence and rrpd ability did not countenance aaloona, aaloona would Rut live. The Uw allow! men to sell liquor and to keep aaloona ; thrn, j oar hatband, or father, or brother, U t drank in), why rag attherahxnketpcr? I am not upholding aaloona or dninkcnneae, hut the i In aet mi ao imall and mean to me that women wi'l uA plane the blame where it belong with the men who drink to eiivM and not with the men who have i Uwfu) tight tj ee 11 the l!p'. If a woman, knowingly, marriea a drunkard, ahe ahould take the) conaeqnencee and lire her life out with him a beat ahe may; bat If be bu led her to believe olherwler, or if, a't-r marriage be become a dronka'd, while ahe l ai Un a true and faithful wife to bin, the ahould refute to live w ith htm and the law ehouM uphold her. No woman ran remain the w if of a man who drinka until be becomei Intoilcated whether it la once a week, once a month, or once a year an 1 reUln her II reaped and dignity. If thla be hii only fault, and if the offrn la committed rarely, I would advi her to brer with him; to be patient and lotigaufferlng; to ne all her tender love and In fiance to rave him, if potaible. Nay, more! If he it Invarl ably kind and affectionate to her, and maka a rl Lnaban I in other wayr, and if her love for Lira d-jre not eat Itrelf np In aorrow, M her atay with blm uitil the end ; f I Uhete Ihrre are mn who wonld give their laat rent to be able to control their craving for drink. Hut f the man who hoi ! the brait and the happlneta of a pure woman In hl keeping, and who, white not raring Lt liquor in iUelf, yet baa not the no I -won't' do-It quality that will enable blm to gracefully Maw to drink with the friend who limply Ubee to he "Hail! frllow, wr metlM with blm, I have no pa'lnc.
