And 80 the Knox correspondent takes exception to the remarks of ' some St. Joseph county men." says they “are speaking ill of Starke county drainage. ’ Pshaw now! Perhaps said correspondent will formulate language with which to refer to the system of drainage, for it is the system, and not the drainage in ittelf, that nine out of ten men in Starke as well as St. Joseph are object ing to. If he Hnds the opinion of a great majority of men in Starke alone, ho will not wonder at St. Joo county men. “Glad they live in St. Jtie instead of Starke." oh? Thanks for voicing their fullest sentiment#; strange thought that you would voice anything in which St. Joe is the gainer. Never mind about getting “first cost out of them." for there is a “public enterprise" element that - will get first all Cost, interest, sim pie and i-ompotiml. attorney's fees and all else (-oir-iste'it or inconsistent out of them eventually, and to think they ' would dare to utter a protest or express themselves.

Protection. Ed. Independent: As your paper goes into so many of our good homes all over this county (and I wish it might find its way into more of them) I would like to say a few words on the above subject. Ido m.t meati protection in a political sense, for I will leave that to the politicians; but I mean protection from a moral sense. I want

to see our boys and girls protected from sinful influences. They are the hope of our church, state and nation, and the j real abiding prosperity of these will de- j pend upon the quality of the boys and girls that go to make them up. Every true father and mother, yea, every true citizen, has a desire for their children relatives and friends to do well. This being true, I ask what are you doing to protect them from the vices of this age? The Bible says: “Ue that knowth to do ■ good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” t Now, 1 will commence at home first. I ask every father and mother who is a i church member, professing to be a fol- ■ lower of the meek and lowly Savior, are > you doing all you can to protect the boys and girls from the awful pitfalls of sin? 5 Where are they spending their evenings? Do you furnish them plenty of papers and books of the right kind, with other pleasant and innocent amusements to > induce them to stay around the family i hearthstone? Or are you neglecting ’ them and by so doing permit them to run the streets at night hunting other 1 amusements of a different kind? If we do not employ and educate our i boys and girls, wicked and corrupt society will. They will be led off to playing cards, smoking cigars, dancing and i many other evils that finally lead to a life of shame and disgrace. Then again are you walking uprightly before them i in your daily actions? For they speak louder than words. Are you doing your । duty as a church member before them? Or are you professing to do right in the • church, then act the part of the hypocrite be ore them elsewhere? Remember this wig what made Voltaire and many other bright minds infidels, and eminent Christian writers tell us that “The greatest foes to Christianity are found inside the i church," Not from the good people, for th ware the “salt of the earth,” but from th • hypocrites. “They shall be cast into outer darkness, ” : th the hypocrites and unbelievers," l>ut t o former go in befor ■ the latter. Now a word to the • M-hool teachers of our country: for the church ami public schools, connected with the public press (thank God for eu h and every one of them,) are the > hope of our country. You teachers meet t ie requirements of the law intcl'ectual L but a. c you all doiri^ it m<>raily ? When our boys and girls collie to see you in y our home- or meet you out of the school rooms do you teach them by your exi ample those things the law has required you to teach them in the school rooms? I have good reasons to believe that many d but I have the s ime g<M>d reasons to k low that some do not. Now 1 want to ask those teachers if they have a right to do these tilings before our boys and girlu, that the law, as well as moral cons hence, forbids them to do in the school rooms? Do not our physiologies teach against these things? I shall use my influence to county superintendents and township trustees not to employ such j teachers, for they are dangerous to the ; impressive minds of the young, who are eat h day building a character for weal or for woe. Fathers and mothers, teachers and citizens, I call upon you in Christ's name to help me protect my boys from vice, and I will help you with all the ransomed powers of my being. I May the Eternal God of Nations awaken I this generation of people to protect their b >ys and girls while they can! J. W. Riley.
