A War on Profanity.

1t seems like a revival of Puri-
tan sternness to read of the at
titude of Mayor Hawkins, of
New Richmond, Wis, as indica-
ted in his order to the 1000 souls
in that town. Profanity must
go, he says. 1t is useless. 1t is
blasphemous in the sight of God.
1t is abomilable in the sight of
man.
IF the profane man wants to
wallow in the pollution of his
profanity let him betake him
self to the lumber camps, and he
must remember that when he
crosses the confines of civiliza-
ton he swears at his PERIL
With some such comment May
or Hawkins announces his inten-
ton to enforce the law in all
cases of willful or inexcusable
profanity, assessing a penalty of
$500 or a Jail sentence of 80 days.
This mayor has started a praise
worthy though difficult and per-
haps impracticable reform. If
he succeeds in making his COM
munity oathless the movement
will spread. For there is no
practice quite so senseless as
swearing. And none more COM
mon. Profanity is poison to
good speech, and the man who
resorts to it to give force to his
expression finds himself after
awhile in the same condition as
the man who takes liquor to
his energies-the nat
ural powers leave him. Habit
ual use of profane explosives
renders him powerless to speak
strongly in decent English. Any
attemp to reduce the evil de-
serves commentator. We all
do it.
Swearing usually comes from a
paucity of vocabulary, rather
than from intended blasphemy.
So drink comes from a limitation
in courage or faith. Either weak
ness encouraged results in less
effort to develope a better and
fuller language or a higher faith.

The power of the railroads and
trusts over the controlling infu-
ences of the Republican party
has again been demonstrated by
the backdown of president Roose-
Welt Just at the time when the
railroad rate bill was on the eve
of being voted through the SEN
ate with such amendments as
would make the bill effective in
supervising the roads and con-
trolling the rates. Mr.. Roose-
welt has failed in this to measure
up to the country's opinion Of
him, and his complete backdown
before the opposition of his party
leads us to believe that he fails
of that independence which has
been considered his strongest
trait. He seems to fully under
stand and realize that the
strength of the Republican party
lies in the friendship and sup
port of the corporate interests of
the country, and, while at times
he would be glad to see the par
ty from under such pernicious IN
fuence, yet, he is not willing to
draw an issue with the great
trusts and stake the life of his
party in a fight between it and
and the powerful financial inter-
ests. Mi. Roosevelt is q gutter.

The accounts of fraud in

The accounts of fraud in the
senatorial primary in Shelby
county, Tennessee, shows Mem
phis up in a very bad light. In
some of the wards Mr.. Carmack
is reported to have received more

gins to get drunk. that he must not drink
at his saloon and get drunk there. Have

At this iuncture the speaker paused, and
several Noes were heard.
Some people say that the drunkards are
of the lowest class. Let n:e show you that
they are not. There thousands of
young men in Australia and New Zealand

America. They have been sent there by
those fathers. are supported there, to live
and drink they please, providing they do
not come home to disgrace the family.
There are plenty of fathers in England that
think more of the family honor than of the
salvation of their own sons.

What can more positively mark the
faith of the settlers on the Rosebud
reservation in the future of their
farms than the fact that there are
hundreds of them so poor that they
can not buy coal to keep their huts
warm, who, in spite of their poverty,
cling to their demands Of $40 an acre
for the lands and declare they will
stick it through until they make their
fortunes?
Cobs and chips picked from the
prairies are being used by the settlers
to keep warm, and they are In many
cases destitute of the ordinary pro-
visions OF life. Many of the settlers
are borrowing money In order to
carry them over, and will have to con-
tinue borrowing for some time, at good
stiff rates of interest, but they claim
they will make good money even at
that.

Every nerve is a live wire
connecting some part Of the
body with the brain. They are
SO numerous that if you pene-
trate the skin with the point of
a needle you will touch a nerve
and receive a shock-pain it is
called. Aches and pains come
from a pressure, strain or in
jury to nerve; the more prom
inent the nerve the greater the
pain. When the pain comes
from large nerve it is called
Neuralgia
whether it be the facial nerves,
or the heart, stomach, sciatic

you must relieve the strain or
