Could Croker Come Rack o..

What may be the reflections of Richard
croker these days? Though out of
america, he keeps up with American at
iahs. He takes the papers. And he
gathers much through private channels.
several of his old cronies in New York
keep MIN well supplied by letter with
interesting local gossip, political and
otherwise. He likes that kind Of news
Inc ponies are not forgotten, but Mr..
croker has time for more than turf mat.
ters, and probably gives up much of it
gladly to what is going on In his old
home.
AT present the news must stir him.
Does it make him long for the fray
again? Does it make him a bit Jealous :?
Mr.. Murphy Is doing some big things us
the leader Of Tammany Hall. The
Croker record has been thrown into the
shade. Mr.. Croker when in power
named city tickets from top to bottom,
but never state ticket. He was often
a city iss,ie, but never state issue. He
was parochial. Mr. Murphy is of state,
and aspires to be of national, Importance.
Mr.. Cookers retirement from politics
was not at the start taken seriously. The
popular idea was that he would "come
back, and could do SO at any time he
liked. Mr.. Murphy was in by his grace,
and would give way at his suggestion
without murmur. The belief prevailed
that. after rest abroad, and some ex-
perience Of the English turf, Mr.. Croker
would return, take charge of Tammany
again, and do business at the old stand.
So his friends wished him JOY, and held
themselves in readiness to take his or
ders oEce more.
Mr.. Croker knew Of this skepticism,
and replied to 1t. He insisted that he
was out of politics for good; that MIR.
Murphy was no mere chairwarmer for
him: that while he would always feel
an interest in Tammany, he had no
thought or desire Of ever resuming the
direction of it's affairs.
But could he come back now if he
desired to? Many OF his old lieutenants
are dead. Others, like himself, are no
longer young. The.bis town has changed.
The general situation is new. Mr.. Muir
ply has improved his opportunity. The
Murphy new guard is as strong in its
day and way as the Croker old guard
ever was. and, moreover, IL now In fight
ing fettle. To its members Mr. Croker
is tradition, while Mr.. Murphy is a
live, nesh-and- blood reality.
In short time Mr.. Croker will be due
on his annual visit. He likes Florida as
a winter resort, and usually tarries in
New York awhile to shake hands and
inquire the news When he arrives ne
may be interrogated about the future.

The Protest Against Profanity.

Today's procession of the Holy Name
societies of Washington and Baltimore as
a protest against profanity should Sc
riously arrest the thought of this COM
munity. Profane speech is deplorable
habit, a shocking. demoralizing indul-
gence. 1t is to be heard in public and in
private, from the lips of the young as
we'll as the old. Initiative children catch
the trick of thoughtless profanity from
their elders. Little boys carrying their
school books are to be overheard In the
streets taking sacred names in vain, fill
ing their mouths with vile and vulgar ex-
pressions that poison their minds.
Profanity is a habit, not necessarily an
expression of irreverence, but nevertl1e-
less disgusting mode Of expression. 1t
comes from a desire to be emphatic, a
wish to accentuate even the commonest
statements of ordinary conversation. 1t
is token of thoughtless, selfish egotism.
1t corrodes the moral nature and makes
men Indifferent to the higher, finer, up
lifting influences of life.
The average profane man, the user OF
irreverent expressions, carefully guards
his speech when in refined associations.
He is not inseparably addicted to the
auOiI. IL 10 SOIiIctiufS THAI he can put
aside at will. So 1t is not merely a case
Of speaking without thinking. for if it
were so the profane man would be profane
in all companies, and that Is not the case
save in rare instances.
True gentility requires that a man
should speak with the same regard for
the decencies Of life in all places and at
all times. Foul expressions are as harm
full to the one who utters them in a bar
room as in q parlor. The vile oath OF
objurgation, the really meaningless but
foul-sounding expletive, always reacts
upon the one who utters 1t. It may offend
the ears of the hearers, but it harms the
speaker.
A practical reform in this direction
might be wrought IL those who have re-
gard for the sacred names and who abhor
vileness Of speech should take it upon
themselves at ali times and in all places
to make known their disapproval. They
need not go through the world in a
belligerent spirit Of reproof. There are
effective ways Of signifying a rebuke
without Quarreling. The hundreds who
are today marching should espouse this
cause. not merely to protect the holy
names from profane use. but to protest
against all other forms of vicious speech.

nuence at the next democratic national
convention will be used toward nominal.

form distinctly anti-Bryan.
Woodrow Wilson is OF the Cleveland

Cleveland's closest friends. He owes his
office. to men who have been anti-Bryan
for fourteen years. Restored to the DEM
ocratic column, New Jersey will join New

not Bryan man. although he was regu-
lar both in 1900 and 1905. In 1896 he was
a member of Mr.. Cleveland cabinet. and
his influence was thrown against his
party's ticket.
Mr. Bryan Is not an announced candi-
date for another nomination. but he COIL
tinues in favor most decidedly OF the
things for which he stands in our politics.
And even should he not press his own for
tunes further, he will fight for the recog-
milton of his policies in the party's plat
