Editor Morning Neacs:: 1t seems to be in

respectable looking business men indulge
in it.
1t is blot upon this beautiful city-a
great ugly, black blot-that could be
hghtened to a great extent Is there no
punishment for it, no single obstacle in the
way of those who have no regard for them
selves or the Sensibility of others!
The writer has lived i'll six southern cities
and has never heard in all of them together
the profanity flung to the winds in one day
i'll this city.
1t should be punishable in the same way
as thieving, for is not he O thief in the
worst sense of thu word, who helps in any
way to blunt the fine sensI bilities of others
He might restore ones stolen monaghan
he ever give back the same mind through
which has crept like a loathsome snake, his
hateful, blasphemous words!
Where is the chivalry that allows such an
all-pervading, degrading influence to exist
in one of its fairest cities!
We may talk about the tenderness and

average Californian was not unlike the
average Chicago theatergoer between acts.
He had the same thirst, the only difference
being that the Californian has farther to
go for his elixir. Mr.. Davis, knowing
something of the character of the Califor-
MAN carrying his point, had asked the city
marshal of the town to occupy seat with
him i'll the box Office The rush-out be-
tween the acts had returned, and Mr.. Davis
was preparing to count up. A typical
miner presented himself, whiting with a
knife, the blade OF which was six inches
long. you know mes" said the Califor-
MAN.
Mr. Davis said he hadn't the honor.

The town marshal turned to Mr. Davis
and said: well, if Bill says you didn't

And Bill went in and put his feet on the
back of the man who sat in front of him.
