The man who is mean enough for the sake of a little gain, to destroy the health and morals of the rising generation is not fit to be trusted in society ; yet VValkerton is not the only town where this evil is indulged in and allowed to be perpet- uated. Strange too, some of the very persons who thus wink at the requirements of the law are howling enthusiasts along other moral lines, and will. for the sake of a little mushroom pOpularity take a free hand in condemnation of the tobacco evil.
