PROFANITY ALLOWED FOR

I F there was anything the late Senator Hoar
L disliked more than he did another it was
profanity.
The story is told how much shocked the
venerable Senator would be by the inflam-
matory interjections of certain politician
with whom he frequently was compelled to
confer But on all such occasions he would
refrain from censuring the culprit except in
the mildest manner.
One day when the politician came to the
Senator's committee-room on a subject of
considerable Importance, Mr.. Hoar indicated
a seat to him, and remarked:
'Now, Mr.. Blank, before we enter upon
discussion of this question, shall assume
that everybody and everything is damned.
Then we can talk it over amicably."

late Emory Storrs, also of Chicago, as brilliant
a wit as he was an advocate.
1t appears that one day Storrs went to the

he was out.

unto the way that goeth down from Jeru-
salem to Gaza.'' The minister spoke OF the
loyalty Of Philip when he received the COM
mand, for although he was successful in
his work where he was. he at once left to
obey the summons OF the angel Of the Lord.
The minister drew from the show of Phil
ip's obedience to the divine command that
when a similar message comes to us to
engage in q particular work which the
Lord has planned we should not mediate
and question the divine will. but Immediate
ly set out to obey.
Mr.. Thomas described the meeting OF
Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch and how
he Joined him in his chariot and after con-
verting him baptized him Immediately
I'VE are told that after the eunuch came
into the church he went on his way

Policeman Did His DIRTY

To the Editor OF The Star;
In your issue of the oath inst, under the
caption Street Car Disorder" The Star
edltorially does an injustice to the police
force In general and to one member of the
rank OF private, in particular. With refer
ence to case Of disorderly conduct on a
street car, The Stars editor says: Just
why the conductor should have been taken
into custody is not plain. A few such ar
rests will weaken the authority of the fare
takers and encourage the rowdies."
The writer Of the editorial was. doubt
less, misinformed The officer in question
"ilIe at Ith street and PENNSYLVANIA ave-
nue., saw two passengers on car scuffling
and hghting. He arrested both. One. a
negro, appeared In court and the conductor
OF the street car his motorman and two
passengers voluntarily appeared as wit
nesses against him. He was discharged.
Inc other prisoner, white man, was
conductor on steam railway and not. as
The Stars editor puts it, the faretaker''
endeavoring to preserve order
l think you will agree in view of this
statement of the facts, that the policeman
did only his duty and no more no less.
