Roland r. Molineux, who was adj
judged guilty of murder nearly four
years ago, has been acquitted by a jury
of his peers. The second trial presented
marked differences from the first. Judge
Lambert, a country judge, who presid-
ed, displayed singular fairness, good
judgment, and patience, in sharp con-
trast to Recorder Golf, whose attitude
toward the defense in the first trial was
the subject of criticism, sharp, If not
harsh. Evidence damaging to Moli-
neuX, chiefly In the form of letters
which the Recorder admitted, was de-
clared by the Court of Appeals to have
been improperly admitted. In the first
trial the prosecuting attorney had ev-

Some Of the bravest, best-hearted
men Of the world are addicted to the
habit Of profane swearing on occasion.
They do not mean anything in partic-
ular. They employ the language for
mere emphasis. At the same time, any
clean-minded person who uses profan-
ity will apologize for the habit. Why
persist in doing something for which
Il is obliged to apologize? Look
about you. Listen to a swearing boy.
He has caught the lowest oaths that
come from the lowest and vilest sur
roundings. Along with the profane
and indecent words you realize the
fact the boy must have profane and
indecent thoughts. Suppose it were
your W boy? And why not If you
use profane language? You are his
eXemplar. Hear a woman curse and
swear. Does it not go through one
like an electric shock? The ideal of
womanhood Is dragged down. HUI
mainly is debased by it. One grows
sick at heart. You feel the brute side
Of humanity. The distance between
womanhOod and n thing seems all the
distance between heaven and hell. "It
sounds so differently from a woman
There's your double standard of mo-
rality-a false standard that has
wrought incredible mischief. But
again: Does the swearer realize what
it means to handy sacred words? Has
he not lost appreciation of ~delicacy?
The name of God ought never to be
spoken save in reverence, spoken when
the heart Is tender and a prayer is in
the soul. There are those about one
who hold the name in awe and who
love and trust the Great Beneticence.
How shall they feel when a name, which
Is to them above every name, is drag
ged into the mud of careless speech?
AS you would not couple the name Of
your mother or wife or daughter in
coarse ribaldry so you should not take
In vain the name Of the noble Naza-
rene. There are worse habits than
swearing-many worse. There are
those who have never sworn an oath
who are liars, thieves, %hypocrites, MUIR
derers. That Is true. Nevertheless
the man who doesn't swear has the
better chance to be n decent, courteous,
self-respecting gentleman.

money. | have heard 1t SAID, or rather L nave seen 1t Stated
in the newspapers, that good looks are a handicap to a gh
in search Of a position: that many employers will not have
pretty girls in their offices, because they receive too much
attention from the clerks.
Perhaps this is true in some cases-for instance. in aM
office in which the employer has a jealous wife; but gen.
orally it is not true. In most instances the young woman
of prepossessing appearance who is seeking a place will
secure an audience with the head Of a firm when her plain
looking sister would be turned away. There is no use moral
izing over the situation and saying that merit ought to dis
count good looks in such cases. We must take the world
as we find it.
Now, l want to say a word about the treatment that
young women in offices receive from the employers. If YOU
were to believe all you see in the sensational newspapers
you would have the opinion that a majority of the type
writer's and stenographers accompanied their employers to
lunch, to the theater and other places Of amusement and
were presented by them with boxes Of bonbons and br
quets of American Beauty roses.
The truth is that the number of girls of this class Is
small indeed in comparison with the thousands of young
women who earn their living in offices. Business men, as
a rule, respect them and treat them in a gentlemanly man.
ner. They have too much work to attend to during business
hours to devote any of their time to paying compliments to
their %typewriters. Moreover, most men are proud and have
too much regard for their regulations to pay marked aten
ton to young women in their own Offices. Girls who have
been brought up properly, who are sensible and have will
power need have no fear that they will not be treated with
respect wherever they may be.
