OF all the many follies of humanity
probably none equals the vice of pro-
family as an utterly useless and mex
cusable habit. 1t is good reason for
national pride and congratulation that
we do not swear as much as we used
to- Once the eccentrieities of certain
respectable old gentlemen who inter-
jected oft used oaths into their con-
yersation were overlooked by their
hearers--probably on the ground Of
early associations. Likewise the raw
ings of the young blood who made the
atmosphere livid with profanity were
attributed to his high and fiery spirit.
Even the business man who found diff
ficulty in expressing his meaning un-
der all circumstances without taking
the name Of his Creator in vain was
not regarded with so much disfayor as
at present. When men come to con-
slider that profanity is utterly without
any reason or useful purpose; that 1t is
absolutely nothing but habit, and
borrowed one at that; that 1t cannot
possibly be productive of any good re-
suit, and that it is an indirect disobed-
ience to command of the Almighty
and is an insult and an offense to all
well-bred and well-meaning people,
it is little wonder that thoughtful men
are cutting it out" of their conyersa-
ton. The fact that a man does not
believe In God, If such there be, does
not justify him in ruthlessly desecrat-
ing that which his neighbor holds dear,
especially when the act is of no pos
sihle benefit to himself and only
stamps him as person OF coarse and
vulgar habit and as being regardless
Of the feelings of others. The survival
of the swearing evil is probably due
more than any thing else to the fact
that boys are SO eager to initiate the
Uavs of men who annaar ia he fasny
in conversation and unrestrained in
habit. The boy thinks that the man
is "l1is own boss" and has no irksome
restraint, and that the way to inde-
pendent manhood lies in initiating the
man, which he. often does with the re-
suit that he contracts habits which
act as detriment and restraint to him
as long as he is unwise enough to In
duige them, and thus useless and
senseIess habit is perpetuated. But
swearing is no longer as general as 1t
once was, and It Is to be hoped that
Increasing intelligence, due regard for
the rights and wishes of polite people,
and a manly sense Of propriety and
self esteem, to say nothing of regard
for Deity viii relegate profanity, asl

oregon not only made a record fol
herself, but set an example for sister
states to emulate for all time in the
election of a United States senator
without the undue use of money by
candidates. This may read like a
sweeping insinuatlon against the integ-
rity of state legislatures and senator
ial candidates, but the almost universal
congratulations voiced over the state
seems TO warrant the observation.

size OF the building. The effect of the
choruses, with the orchestra, was par
ticularly pleasing as the acoustic
properties of the auditorium are perfect
and not a passage, no matter how soft,
was lost to the audience. There was
not a rough spot" in the singing of the
chorus. Those who heard the 400
voices with the Thomas orchestra IN
the Kansas City Convention hall and
then heard the 200 voices in the Topeka
auditorium gave the palm to the To-
peka singers.
Th2 soloists were Jenny Osborn, SO
prano: Glenn Hall. tenor and Frank
CrOxtOn, bassO Neither they nor the
orchestra won the greatest applause
nor the most marked attention. Tne
Choral society was the attraction of the
opening concert and carried off the
honoIs.
During a short pause a large bouquet
of roses was handed to Director Penny.
He had received baton and unlimited
applause from the audience and the
chorus and he thought that the favor
was for Miss Osborn. He handed the
flowers to her without so much as look
ing at the card. Miss Osborn refused
them and called Director Pennys atten-
ton to the card which bore his name
MISS OSBORN A FAVORITE-
OF the sOlOists Miss Osborn seemed
the favOrite Her voice is rich and
strong and even while carrying thu
principal part with the orchestra and

share of applause. but the audi
ence was not particularly dem
onstrative except toward the Choral

salaries but at present the most rigia
economy IS demanded.
WHERE THE MONEY WENT
Figures in the reports of the business
OF the Fraternal Aid associa ton show
that there has been an enormous ex-
rense during the Don Carlos admins
tration for the solicitation of new mem
bers. Compared with previous admins
trations this expense appears not to be
justified.
In the years of 1901 and 1902 the ex-
act amount of $64,30l1 was paid out
for salaries and expenses of persons en-
gagged to get in members for the order.
During those two years the net gain of
membership was but 6.158 members,
5000 being taken in and 10 600 lost from
death and lapsation- During the four
months since the end of that time Janu-
ary 1 to May l, $13,457 more has been
spent by the organizing artments as
it is called.
Contrasted with this the expenditure
of SIS. .6S7 with net gain of 5.4S2 mem
bers during the two years. 1899 and
1900 indicate that the Don Carlos ad-
ministration has not received adequate
returns for the money spent in getting
new material into the association The
president is at the head of the organic
ing department His duty is to build up
the membership of the order and ne has
almost exclusive control over the field
work One of the claims against him
is that the men paid to do field work
were appointed simply to hustle votes
for his reelection.

exactly right in the Topeka Choral So
clefy- We went to Kansas City last
year with a splendid chorus as we sup
posed and sang all around everything
there was In sight, but when the awards
We're made, Topeka occupied the foot Of
the line. There was some criticism then
on your leadership. At times during the
preparation for the. present festival this
dissatisfaction has come to the surface
again. Finally matters got into such
shape that something had to be done
and consultation was held by the mem
bers of the society and a business meet
ing called for that purpose and it was
finally determined, with practical unant-
nifty, that the fault was not with YOU
but in the little stick that you use in
directing the chorus. You cannot direct
a heavy chorus with a light baton, and
I therefore present you with a baton
that viii enable you to direct US in the
future without the possibility of making
a mistake. / want to assure you that
the gift comes direct from the heart of
every member Of the Topeka Choral So
ciety. and we hope you will live many
years to WELD it in behalf of a higher
standard of music. Please accept it

FAINTS AT A BANQUET.
Mayor Weaver of Philadelphia
Unconscious Ten Minutes.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 12.-Mayor
Weaver tainted before 800 guests at
banquet of the Methodist Social union
last evening, and remained unconscious
for about 10 minutes.
At the conclusion of bitter denun-
citation OF the octopus of vice left to his
administration as a legacy. and just as
he repeated a pledge that the present
efforts to purify the city were not to be
spasmodic, but initiative of an aggres-
sive campaign that would be continued
with vigilance, the mayor paused
abruptly and leaned on the back Of ths
chair. For a time he seemed to be at
a loss for words. then he closed his eyes
and sank into the arms of his secre-
tary.
