RRITISH RT-ELECTIONS.

The by-election at Hastings. England last
week resulted very much as nearly all others
have done since the last general election. That
is 10 say, it went strongly against the govern
ment largely, and, as il would seem. chiefly, on
the issue Of tariff reform. Hastings has gen
orally been a Unlonist constituency, though
by a small majority. In 1892 it gave Union
list majority of 449,and in 1895 of 342; in 1900
it went Liberal by 2OS In 1906 Unonist again
by 413. Those ma jorities. in q registration of
more than eight thousand voters, indicate a
close division of parties. But last week. after a
campaign conducted largely on fiscal lines,
though with the education bill also at the
fore. the election resulted in Unionist majority
of LOIS in a total vote Of 1872 on registration
of S,S1j
Compared with the returns of the last gem
erai election in 1906. these figures show
decline of 311 in the total vote polled though
30 per cent of the registered voters was a
more than ordinarily full vote. The .Unonist
vote showed an increase of 147 and the Lib
eral decrease q as. Following the Union

PROFANITY IN TIE EAST.
Canadian Says New York and Boston Are
Worse than Western Cities.
. Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I noticed the other day 2 letter from "Chi-
cagoan.'' giving his views of how profane and
other bad language exists in New York and STAT
ing that II is good deal worse there than in the
West. l can vouch for this fact Although rhs-s
the flow profanity is disgusting, stU on a recent
trip did not hear IL to The extent you VIII
in the East. where il seems TO have become cpl
demic. Boston seems 70 be keeping pace with al
other cities in this direction. The most fagra1t OF
all expressions you viii hear is the naus Of ths
Almighty and the Saviour. You can hear this
from men and youths in almost any direction you
may and it is time that every effort should os
taken to prohibit this. 1t is really becoming
disgrace to the nation
The stage is becoming one Of the greatest dis
tributers of pTofane and bad language Owing 70
Its use having become so common among the peo-
pie. the playwriter has come think that a pro-
duction IS not complete without profanity. and
therefore he takes the license to IL OF lsts
in depicting Western plays profanity has seen IL
troduced it existed in the mining towns. Ths
should have been prevented az the start. as II only
encourages profanity / wrote 1erter Two wears
ago to newspapers regarding the amount Of p1ofans
and bad language that was used n The Girl rom
the Golden West" I thought IL was very improper
10 have such expressions used before respectaSls
audience, as it was making families and the cnl-
dren undesirabIy familiar With them.
l think therefore. the stage has done a sreas
deal toward increasing the flow Of profanity at ne
present time The heads of the Police Departments
OF St Louis. Chicago and other cities have come
TO the conclusion that the police themselves sre
among the causes of the extensive use Of profanity,
and believe them the right ones 70 start IN to cas1
it, and this without doubt is true Now. why nc'
also experiment the theatre2 There ara also ths
writer's OF novels and books OF all classes to %
taken into account. These writer's also have CONS
TO think that their publications not compsts
without using profanity or other st-ong words.
The time has come when halt should Be made X
there is to be any consideration given TO respect
for language GEORGE WRIGHT.

The editorial protest of Charities and the
Commons" against the maintenance of bread
lines is well founded on reason and public policy.
Dozens of times every standing in the
bread line has been invited, both by cordially
spoken word and by printed card, to come to
the Charities Building and tell his story, as
"sured of sympathetic hearing and helping
hand But very few persons have responded
and Why Because the bread line is largely
composed of loafers and criminals who want TO
get something for nothing. There is no ref1ec-
ton on a benevolent purpose in saying that the
bread line is not index of poverty; its
length more accurately reflects the extent OF
shameessness among the dregs of the popuia-
ton. In the most prosperous times fifty bread
lines could doubtless be kept up in this city;
but only because there are a hundred pums
to every baker In this part Of the world
