have been posted in the roads shops in
that city prohibiting profanity during
working hours, and that the same rules
are being posted throughout the COM

it in their power to become, in mild
way, reform agencies. Plain business
reasons often lead them to exercise
this power. and similar reasons impel
their employees TO respond to 1t. Men
to whom arguments of morals or health
might not appeal are moved readily
Orders against whiskey and the cigar

in this way, and there is no reason
to doubt that the Pennsylvania or

output of the country's profanity.
Swearing is bad habit look at 1t

indicative OF lack of reticence and
self-restraint. Moreover, it is fire.

TIIE BEST SIGN YET.

The Times-Dispatch recently reviewed
magazine article, in which the author
undertook to show that the panic of
1907 was due to our debt abroad. If
that be true. then the report of foreign
trade for January is the best sign that
has yet appeared of improving condi-
tions. The report shows that mercfan-
disc exports as compared with Janu-
airy, 1907, increased s57,SOO,0oO, and
We're, with the exception of last De-
cember. the largest of any month In
the countrys history, and only s17,7OO.-
600 out of the total increase came from
agricultural products.
But while increasing our exports so
handsomely, we cut down imports, as
compared with January, 1907. by the
substantial sum of S40,S00,o00, so that.
on the face of the returns, excess of
exports for the month is s120500 600
very nearly double that of year ago,
and much the largest monthly record
OF the kind. At that rate it will not
take long to wipe out entirely any debt
balance that the foreigners may hold
against us.

tent 1t is wise and worthy measure,
but 1t should be SO safeguarded as not
to restrain and embarrass Legitimate
trade. Manufacturers and dealers In
cotton. grain, provisions and other COM
modities have frequently to sell for
future delivery, and sometimes they
are compelled to "sell short" as the
vernacular has 1t, in order to protect
themselves against violent fluctuations
in prices Of the commodities they han
die. This is not gambling, but insur-
ance, and If prohibited by law would
tend to injuro many branches Of trade
and industry In the State The mem

themselves to any measure of this
character.
