BELTS a normal, rational human be-
ing. Creatures of reason as we are,
We find that the CURSE flies in the
face of sober thought. Used as we
are to logical processes we find the
curse devoid Of logic. Profanity
reeks with sulphur and sends Satan
to our hearts. 1t is utterly unbe-
fitting and unbecoming.
To say that it is dishonorable is
just to begin the damning count
against profanity. The curse is with
out honor for it is used only to spread
dishonor 1t looks never toward God
but rather uses His name to invoke
the aid of the powers of hell. 1t is
dishonorable from start to finish and
indecency marks it as her own.
But one of the two worst things
about profanity is that it is immo-
raj. root, branch, tree and fruit. Ca
tering as it does to all that is low in
man, hand and bond servant as it is
to ali the hosts of sin, profanity dis
integrates the unity Of individual
personality. No man can be pTofane
without dishonoring Gcd and dam
aging himself We cannot give vent
in word to the evil that is in us
without spreading contamination not
only through our own lives but also
through the lives of men and women
all about US. Profanity is unchan.
it strikes at the foundations OF NOR.
ality. 1t undermines the sense OF
honor and destroys the faculty OF
cool, deliberate judgment; under no
circumstances is it susceptible of
justification and it's immortality is un-
questionably fact.
But the last and the worst charge
that may be upheld against profanity
is that it is ungodly. Thou shall
love the Lord Thy God with all thy
heart and mind and SOUL says our
Father. The curse is heartless and
it destroys our finer faculties do we
give it time. Under its blighting IN
1uence the power Of mental appre-
citation of the glories Of God will be
lost. It is soulless to the last ex-
treme. How can a man be godly
while cursing the children OF God
in the name of the Father who has
given them life? How can man
be godly when the springs of sin are
rushing from his mouth? All, no.:
Profanity is ungodly. 1t snames God
and disgraces man. It reviles the
Father and degrades His sons. God
is good but profanity is evil. God is
kind but the curse is verbal murder.
God is truth but the curse cares not
for truth. .
Unnecessary, unmanly, indecent,
immoral and ungodly profanity is
the most frequent as the most lnsldl-
Gus of the sins Of the tongue. And
vet bad, as it is when used by men,
it is most abhorrent when coming
from the lips of woman. Not that
it is morally any worse, but that it
sounds worse. 1f>you really want
to become positively assured of the
horridness of profanity you need but
hear a woman curse.
We need to-day strict insistence
upon cleanliness of language. NO
man can be friend of Jesus who is
ungodly in his talk. Christ proved
divinely the possibility of forcefui
speaking without the use OF pro1an-
iiy. And to-day men are most force
full, most manly, most convincing
when they do not swear.

BIG PIER READY SOON
DEDICATION CEREMONIES WILL
BE MOST ELABORATE.
Special Disnatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION, Va, August
A.-The government pier at the jamestown
exposition will be completed and turned
over to the exposition company September
4. The ceremonies incident to the dedica-
tion will take place at night. beginning at
about o'clock. and will include one of the
most elaborate pyrotechnic displays ever
given In the United States.
One Of the features Of the dedication will
be reproduction in Grand Basin OF the
famous battle between the Merrimac and
the Monitor. both ships beng outlined in
fire.
The water in Grand Basin will be trans
formed into liquid flashing light while fly
ing fish and diving devils will gansbol hither
and thither through the waves. Another in
teresting device will be Fulton's old side
wheeler. the Clermont.
While the set figures are being shown
hundreds OF fiery geysers, throwing golden
spray hundreds of feet into the air, will
burst UP II various parts of the basin. and
in more quiet places gardens of lilies will
appear. the tropical flowers changing color
every minute.
Perhaps the most striking effect will be
that known as the Spirit of the Falls"
TINS will be represented by a draped figure
OF heroic size standing over the brink Of
enormous water fall. with arms outstretch-
ed. AS the fall gathers force heavy spray
arises, in the whiteness of which the figure
gradually disappears.
The government pier at the exposition Is
composed of two wings over two thousand
feet In length. extending out into the wa
ters of Hampton roads Immediately in front
OF the auditorium. These wings are con-
nected at their outer ends by steel arch.
The arch and the two arms inclose over q
million square feet of water surface. with
a depth OF from ten to fifteen feet. Over a
mi.e of wall is utilized in the sides of
the piers.

tremendous demand for money, as 1t Is
called; that Is. a demand for credits to
finance all kinds of business. But 1t Is no
greater than 1t has been in the aggregate.

The banks have the resources to supply this
credit, and while it may be necessary for
them to curta1l new operations and discour-
age any further expansion among their GUS

taking care of the current business and ac-
commodating their customers IN all leglti-
mate demands. The banks have met sew

well, and with better banks, better organi-
cations, more reserve money, with an aDso-

absolutely no doubt that they will be aple

Year Of Great, Productiveness.
''The element in the situation due to the
season Of the year Is the fact that we
have raised between five and six billion
dollars worth of grain. cotton. cattle, hogs
and other farm produce. in addition to the
coal, iron steel, copper and other wealth
that Is being produced. This Is not Sit
uation to get frightened about. or to make
it necessary to call on every one suddenly
to pay their debts, but 1t should rather
encourage the banks to take care OF their
customers and make loans conservatively
We should take courage from the fact
that although this situation doubtless Is as
claimed, world wide, and international. we
have in this country enormous elements
for recuperation in this vast production OF
wealth. It never was 80 great as at the
progress and development. Prosperity u
proverbially hard to stand but there Is no
sense in letting such evidences scare US to

GOV. TAYLoR's PROPOSAL.
Will Go to Kentucky for Trial If
Square Deal Is Guaranteed.

INDIANAPOLIS. August 24.-William S.
Taylor. former governor of Kentucky, who
has been a refugee in this state for seven
years. issued statement last night in an
swer to the proposition of Prosecutor
Franklin to grant him immunity II he will
testify in the Powers case.
Taylor says that he has already given
deposition In the case and that 1t was the
privilege of Franklin to cross-examine him
at that time, but he did not do So. He then
makes the following proposition:
'Inasmuch Mr.. Franklin abounds In
propositions and promises, and seems enam
ored of the idea that he do things, l
will say this: If he will in some way pro-
vide an absolute guarantee, not merely a
promise, a guarantee that will inspire con-
fidence among sensible. level-headed, hon.
est men: guarantee the spirit of which
may not be violated though the letter be
'bserved. that'I will be giy fair and i'm
artial trial, l will gladly return to Ken
ucky and submit to trial
In other words if Mr.. Franklin will cause
what remains of the 100000 corruption
fund to be returned to the treasury of Ken
lucky, part of it to be used in these
prosecutions, then, putting my case the
same footing as other criminal cases, will
guarantee that all trial juries in my case
viii viii be GO, composed of sis n2right
Will guarantee that bail viii be granted me
within the limits of 100000; will dismiss the
indictments against all parties used as pros
eCuting witnesses, leaving them free to teS-
tify without fear. coercion or restraint and
last. but by no means least, will in advance
by mutual agreement select an able, upright
and impartial judge to try my case, 1 will
without any promise of immunity voun-
tarily and gladly return to Kentucky, not
only to testify in the Powers case, but to
submit myself to trial before jury Of my

CURES FOR NOSE BLEED.
Piece Of Ice Applied to Back Of Neck
Among the Best, Say Physician.

from the 10uths companion.
Bleeding from the nose occurs more often
with the young than with the old, and with
males than with females. Although always
annoying, and sometimes alarming. it is
very seldom fatal. When death occurs
from hemorrhage from the nose, there is
generally some serious condition of disease
to account for 1t, as, for example, when the
affection occurs in subjects especially liable
to hemorrhage-the so-called "bleeders."
An ordinary case of nosebleed will gen.
orally yield readily to simple home reme-
dies, and need cause no alarm. 1t is char
acterstic Of many people to become unduly
frightened at the sight of blood, and to do
the wrong thing in foolish panic. Thus,
with nosebleed, the patient will keep the
head bent well down over some receptacle,
In this way doing everything TO favor the
flow, when he should rather sit upright, or
even stand, SO that gravity will act to draw
the blood away from the head.
Cold tends to construct the small blood
vessels and check bleeding. If it is in WIN
ter, and the air is cold breathing deeply
through the nose at the open window will
sometimes cure the nosebleed, or little
piece Of ice passed into the nostril from
which the blood comes will often answer
the purpose. A piece OF Ice applied to the
back of the neck and the spinal column
Just below is occasionally efilcacious.
In severe cases a wide tape or handker-
chief tied tightly around the arms and legs
may arrest the hemOrrhage by withdraw
ing large part Of the blood temporarily
from the general circulation. The con-
strtcting bands should not be too tight. nor
should they be left on too long. After the
bleeding has ceased the bands should be
loosened one at a time. so that all the re-
tanned blood is not returned to the circula-
ton at once. as this might cause a renewal
of the bleeding.
When these simple remedies prove Of no
avail, and the hemorrhage goes on. ply
sician should be called in. A too-prolonged
poaohlaod will bring about condition OF
eaness and anema which may render
the sufferer an easy prey to any OF the
numerous forms Of infection always in walt
to storm a weakened citadel. The reason
why the services of a physician should be
sought in obstinate cases Is because he can
Immediately with the aid Of certain ap-
pliances, satisfy himself as to the exact
spot i'm the nasal passages where the trou-
bic originates, and bring his resources to

From Leslie's Weekly.
The unexpected and overwhelming de-
feat of Russia in her late conflict with
japan can be readily understood in the
light Of the revelations made by Prof
Ozeroff. Russia's leading financial au-
thority. In a recent pamphlet, entitled
How the money of the Russian People
Is Being Squandered," Prof Ozeroff tells
how. by accident. he discovered that the
Russian treasury is being robbed Of sums
greater than those borrowed from France
and other conf1dfng nations. The great
est source Of graft is found in railroad
construction work. Through the system
Of letting the work by contract 1t is dis
covered, the government has paid more
than five times the amount Of money
actually spent in railroad construction
work. After each contractor and subcon-
tractor had gotten his loot there was left
for the man who did the actual work only
about one-third of the amount necessary
to do 1t In servfceable manner. Another
graft revealed by Prof. Ozeroff was that
Of 2O0,O00.0O0 rubles (about 500. ZOO, ,00O),
which, through the influence of certain
ones in high authority, was taken from the
state treasury and let out to private fac
