I have never made a statement in your paper, or any other, that I could not, and would not with pleas ure, «ubstantiate. I stated only (acts, and what these parties did was a cowardly act, and a species of lawlessness that should not be tol erated in a civilized community. That’s the proper stuff.

Ice cream soda is said to be a cold proposition. An injunction to restrain a man from running away from his wife is the latest legal wrinkle. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The postmaster of Quincy. 111., doesn’t propose to have any leaks in his office. He has laid in a big sup ply of rubber stoppers. ♦ ♦ “The good old summertime” ar rived promptly with the 1st of July. Being a trifle late it is naturally try ing to make up for lost time, and is succeeding remarkably well Governor Heywarci has refused a pardon for Mrs. Fannie Carson. Good for the Governor. Mrs. Carson should have been hung, and it would indeed be a terrible miscarriage of justice were she permitted to go free. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The nast week has been another one of tragedy in this State. The situation is becoming alarming and if something is not soon done to check the downward tendency of humanity no man can tell where it will all end. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ People who tell the truth have nothing to fear. It sometimes hap pens that a man makes a mistake, but if he is a man he will apologize for his error. If he is a coward or an ingrate he will stick to the falsehood even after be has been satisfied of his error. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Notwithstanding the hard exercise to which he subjects himself, Presi dent Roosevelt is said to be steadily gaining in weight. He has tri u d all the known methods for reducing weight except that of running a news paper, and he is not likely to emu late tbe example of Mr. Bryau. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Mrs. Eliza Boardman Burnz, who died in Pennsylvania recently at the advanced age of eighty, was generally known as tbe “mother of women stenographers,” and as such, will doubtless long be held iu grateful remembrance by the yearly increas ing army of wage-earning women. In his Fourth of July address President Roosevelt said that “the worst crime against this nation which can be committed by any man is tbe crime of dishonesty,” and he de clared that “we are not to be ex cused as a people if we ever condone such dishonesty, no matter what qualities it may be associrted with.” ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The press of tbe entire country de voted columns previous to July 4tb In a strong effort to curb the non sensical methods which have pre vailed for years to show the patriot ism of the people, but iu spite of argumeDts(and warnings the list of dead and maimed is larger this year than ever before.

Mr. Editor:—I wish to ask a ques tion and would like for some good Ledger man who has a m:rul Chris tian character to answer it: What makes people fight holiness so when tbe Bible says holiness on the out side and all through the inside, you may say? Why, they don’t know any better about it, or no one fights it a bu8meg8 trip tQ except a fooi. Well, 1 kno v that won’t do, for I am sure I know some preachers who have a fine education and have r<-ad the Bible clear through and they fight it like a circular saw. What do you think of it, any how? Is it right, or not, to fight it?. If it isn’t, then most of tbe folks are wrong.

No, this is the will of God: He said in St. John 17:17. “Sanctify them through thy truth: Thy word is truth.” Then read St. John 17:19 “And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.” Read further, Ephesians 4, 1:32, and see if this will justify a man to make light or sport of the Holy Gospel by saying “the holiness tent and the merry-go-round left Gaffney on the same train.” 1 would be ashamed of myself if I was the nice gentleman that wrote this piece to tbe good Ledger to publish.
