Any newspaper Editor will tell you that he is at times at a loss for material for a leaner for bis forthcoming issue, and wo f mutt plead guilty in this instance < for tha thoughts and ideas ihut we may advance in our editorial under the above head these ideas nay not strike our readers as either ortbodox, or as warranted by real facts. Sncli as 4hey are however, we give them to you as expressive of ou?*own opinion. . Accept them or reject tliem. We have in this State a Tem perance Law and Order League. This league was organized, if we have been properly informed, for the purpose of reduci tig by cer tain methods, the sale of spirit uous liquors in the State. This natura'ly is, or should be lite pri tnunj oltject only. What is tem perance? Is it absolute prohibi. tion of the indulgence in any habit thatwmi/ result in injury to society, ol- to the individual him self or herself ? No. We are told through the medium of the best dictionaries that the true meaning of the word "Temper ance" is moderation. Actual temperance then con sists of a United indulgence by a man in a drink ? of spiritous liquors if his appetite requires it. The eating of such quantity of food as uature demands. The indulgence of such degree of other animal instincts as have beeu implanted in ins bead aud heart as may be commensurate with the co-equal duty he owes to society. The restraint from immoderate use of language that would not be considered us fitlur the ears of clergyman or layman. To sum up, tem perance must be interpreted as moderation in all things. The above remarks are intend ed/or vieii only. ? As to the fem inine side of the ouestion, they understand already fairly well what constitutes '?Temperance." A few words along the line that may not have occurred to a ma jority of the feminine gender however may not be out of plucc. The following remarks are, as we have previously stated, merely our thoughts and im pressions, but following the or iginal line we will say that when we see a woman whom we con sider over-drossed, we want to know whose money paid for the extra finery. We are curious to know if the husband, father or other family provider has not put otT some other creditor mero ly to allow his women-folk the pleusure of swelling it with the swehest. is this Temperance? Is it even moderation even in a most moderate form? We think not. We have seen in our own limited experience, women, who because they had not a hat of the latest )>attcrn, refuses to go to church although they were presumably good church mem bers. This is one form of intem perance. Another is that in which the woman goes from liouae to house, retailing as a sweet morse), some choice piece of gossip that affects the char acter of this or that person. This is io our unuds, the worst, form of intemperance. This ed itorial has already grown too long, so we close with the re quest for sober, earnest t'.iought upon it by every reader whose eyes may rest ujion it. OUlt WASHINGTON LHTTKIt.
