The Folly Of Profanity.

In the good old times good. old.
fashioned mothers were sometimes
heard 70 threaten To wash out the
mouths of their boys as a cure against
that foolish habit OF profanity II may
be that some OF them carried the
threat into execution and did wash
the mouths OF the offending boys with
soap and water II would not be o
bad thing II some boys were subjected
To that sort OF treatment now.
II II did not break them OF the habit
entirely 1t would show them what
their good mothers think about IL
and would do them good all their
lives. There are lots of grown men.
some Of them men of prominence,
leaders In public life, who seem 10
imagine that they cannot emphasize
what they have to say without inter-
larding their words and sentences
with profanity. The man who cannot
give emphasis TO what he has TO say
without that is the man whose words,
as he estimates them himself, lack the
weight that will carry with them the
emphasis which he would give them.
The best thinkers and takers do not
have to resort TO profanity as a sort
Of crntch without which their language
will be able to do dnty.--Knoxville

Addison, the most polished writer OF
our Augustan age; that Burke. with
his versatile intellect and exuberant
eloquence: that MaekintoBh. with hia

Jekyll, who hRd set a hundred dinner
tables In roar, would one and all
have achieved conspicuous success in
the house of commons,
But, as Macaulay has pointed out,
exactly the reverse was the case.
Their speeches produced no effect.
They wearied and bewildered their
audience And their rising 10 speak
was too often the siBnaf for a general
exodus. In fact, as waa said of
Burke, they acted as a dinner bell.
Even Macaulay himself. though on two
occasions his speeches changed the
fate OF a division, was In no sense OF
the word an orator or even n great
debater. HIS voice was too shriIl and
monotonous. and he poured out tor
rent OF words with such headlong flu
ency as TO confuse his hearers as well
as 10 battle the quickest OF parliament

could recite an admirable essay, but
his delivery was bad aud the seeaaw
gestures which accompanied his
speech we're as "grotesqae as those

probably have had more highly cult

parliamentary utterances go their

the speaker, there we're few drug

few years ago there were only about
a half dozen negro banks IN the coun-

stores. grocery stores and industrial
enterprises 20 the number OF over TO-
900 have sprung up In all parts Of the
country.
"A little more than 40 years ago,
when the negro was made free, he had
almost no land. Now he has an acre
age almost as large as New England
Then he had almost no homes: now
he has 100000 homes. Then he had
few farms. now he has 2O0, 900 farms.
Then he had no insurance company
now he has S.. Then he had no un-
dertakers; now he has several thou

was made free only about per cent

cent can both read and write. Then
he had few churches; now he has &c.

the greater part Of this progress has

Such people do not present the

The NEXT DELEGATE

or course II Is some time yet be-
fore election, but the politicians are
getting busy. The Delegate TO
Washington naturally takes first
place in the discussion. Who will
be the candidate OF the Republican
party? Is Kuhio to lead again?
The Republican party cannot afford
to make any mistakes this campaign.
Unless united party enters the
field prepared to stand pat, 1t will
be up against the real thing. The
Democrats are not making any fuss,
but when active campaigning starts
in. everyone will be surprised to
see what n reorganization they have.
The bee is beginning to buzz, and
In short time candidates for Office
will be found on every corner.
Platforms will soon be In order. and
the people can have their choice OF
parties. The next delegate will be
the rallying figure. The crowds
will congregate at Kaimuki and
vote that the best lots can be had
from the real estate exchange,

The Territory owes tn efour sons

vacation, but this is debt that
the Territory will not find on the
books of the Treasurer and Audi
tor.
Some tim eago the genial Presi-

ised the various chips Of the old
block a two weeks automobile trip
around the island of Hawaii. but
press of business forced him to
abandon the trip.
Later he decided that everything
was ripe for weeks camping trip
around Oahu as a substitute for the
abandoned tour of the big island,
and In the midst Of the preparations
flood of business again caused a
disappointment.
Then, In despair, President Mott
Smith took the bull by the horns,
and his boys and he went on a one
days automobile trip around the
island. and that was the best that
could be found. His disappearance
few days ago is now partially ac-
counted for.
