the people will hayeNo take tiue to work

The California Newspapers are now
full Of protest. against tn admission Of
o.auces and lemons from Cuba under
reciprocity as advocated by President
Roosevelt
The masses OF the American people
wants cheaper lemons and oranges, and
will consume millions OF boxes of them
in addition to all now consumed il the
price is reasonable But here is the po.
siion Of the press Of that state as set
forth by the Sacramento Bee.
Caliiouil wants no reciprocity treaty
with Cuba which in any way will be
d ,trimen,al to the citrus fruit interests
Of that state.
cuba is great citrus fruit country,
and the only reciprocity treaty she
would particularly care for would be one
permitting Ler fruits to enter the
United states free OF duty.
OF course, Cuba is also a great sugar
producing Island, bat the Cubans them.
selves are not so much concerned in that
product as is the American Sugar Trust.
Fruit is the one great product OF Cali
fornia. The prosperity of the state is to
an enormous degree dependent thereon.
A blow at the fruit industry of Cali
iornia would be disaster to it's com.
mercal and industrial activity, and
sweeping in its consequences.
President Roosevelt's message is to
some extent inconsistent upon this ques.
tion Of reciprocity.
In the section Of his message devoted
to Cuba, President Roosevelt says this;
In the case Of Cuba there are weighty
reasons of morality and of national inter.
est why the policy OF reciprocal trade
relations should be held TO have a pecu-
liar application, and | most earnestly
ask your attention TO the wisdom, in.
deed to the vital need, Of providing for a
substantial reduction in the tariff duties
on Cuban imports into the United States.
1t is an open question whether there
be any virtue or not in President RooIe-
velps ideas concerning any moral or sen.
timental obligation we may still be un-
der to keep Cuba solidly on her feet and
help along her vital interests.

A HEARTFELT RESPONSE.

Times Union and Citizen: 1t is a physi-
cal impossibility to answer all the indi-
vidual letters of kindness and sympathy
coming to the office of the Times Union
and Citizen. Hundreds of letters address
d<to the editor personally and officially
cannot be answered separately with the
usual courtesy because of the large num-
Der, therefore we employ this method of
expressing to those noble men and wo-
men of our state the grateful thanks of
the people of Jacksonville for their ten
derness of solicitude and the depth of
their sympathy so beautiful in express
sion, so true in sentiment, indicative of
that lovely character that comes as a
harbinger to men that suffer in life, and
may God bless each and every one of you,
and may the glow of our Florida skies
coax a bountiful harvest to your doors,
and may your lives be filled like our
fields, with the children of the sun as
our springtime touches the cords strung
upon natures heart. By your sympathy
you have encouraged US; by your ready
response to our immediate necessities you
have softened many pangs and brushed
away many tears. You are our brothers
and sisters; you are the sentinels of COM
fort and consolation standing by the
ashes of our homes. Let this be the an
swer to the hundreds of letters received
by the editor and his corps of loyal help
ers, whose faithful work and untiring
energies in this hour of trial have been
AS his own, and the people of Florida
heard the voice of the Times Union and
Citizen under barriers that seemed at the
time impossible to surmount.
The Savannah morning news., 1901-05-11

Editor Morning News: Words have or
should have specific, definite and posi-
tive meaning. The beauty of the Greek
language is that the words have posi-
tive and definite meaning, and not like
our English, an India-rubber flexibility
to mean any and everything
Let US examine into the meaning of
certain words and draw a line between
profanity, swearing. etc. Profanity is
the using or taking of Gods name in
vain, wherein there is neither piety,
praise or veneration in the calling of or
on Gods name. 1t is irreverence, bias
phemy and soothing All people who have
Gods generally in a sacred or profane
way swear by their gods. To illustrate:
sea captain was heard by a missionary
cursing at his men. Said the missionary
to him pointing to his son, a boy of II
years: THAT boy is II years old and this
is the first time he has ever heard an
oath or profanity" We'll" said the cap
tain, by God, he must have been raised
among the heathens." And so he had
been. A people without any kind Of god
never profance or swear
declaration. protest. confession. an aver
ment, and belongs really to courts, and
personal obligations to perform or do. To
make them sacred and binding Gods
name is often used, but in a sacred and
pious manner.
Swearing is akin to an oath and used
in court, for it is vow. an oath. word
of honor. promise, an assurance, deposit
ton, aVowal
IT.
from the above. One can curse another
and never use Gods name in any way
or manner, but there can be no profan-
ity in it, To curse is to denounce a
maledicton. an imprecation, an eXecra-
ton, an anathema, a scolding, railing. a
threat. a menace, a defiance, to 'intimi-
date, etc. With many. cursing is only a
brutum fumen, all sound and fury, sig
nifying nothing.
The use of the word damn is purely
Latin and used as an adjective to give
force and point TO an expression. 1t is
never profanity unless Gods name be
used with it, which is often done, and
then it is profanity, coupled with ours
ing.
The word is derived from the Latin
damuo, TO condemn. to dislike, to devote
10. or consign over. TO doom. 1t is an
expressive word and means a good deal
when used In a pointed and direct man
ner. To say, man is not worth a damn
is borrowed from our old fathers of the
revolutionary days, when Continental
money was called in and the word
damn" written on it, meaning that it
was then worthless.
Dam in India was a coin worth a half
cent, and to say man was not worth a
dam was saying he was not worth a half
cent Wellington always used that word
upbop king Of men or things nv sa "
ing he or 1t was not worth a dam, while
he served in India.
But the way the word is now used In
speaking OF men or things, ii simply
means the man or thing is no account,
not worth considering not worth attend
ing or worth hearing.
"Immodest words admit OF no defense.
For want of decency is a want Of sense"
r. NJ O.
