THE HANDICAP OF PROFANITY

st. Paul Pioneer Press: An effort is
to be made, starting at Washington
on the first Sunday in November. to
arouse public sentiment against the
. prevalence of profanity. It is proposed
to have parade and monster demon
stration at the federal capital for the
purpose of demonstrating the futility
Of profanity, and out Of this demon
stration is expected to come a nation
wide movement against a nationwide
! vice.
Profanity, whether it be listed as
| vice or just habit. is watonless, prof
! ttless and indefensihle. 1t is natural
! that attempts should be made to deal
! with 1t as with other social problems,
but there is some question as to the
proper remedies to be applied. Even
from the ethical standpoint, profane
speech is low and vulgar. The man
given to the use of profane language.
inasmuch as We judge men by their
speech, as well as by their company,
cannot be accredited with a full meas
ure of good character even if he hap
pens to possess It,
Laying aside all moral and ethical
phases OF the question, profanity is al
so a robber in another direction. 1t is
q sure sign of a paucity Of both words
and ideas. The man who habituallv
punctuates his remarks with profanity
cannot, when occasion precludes the
use Of these adornments, round ont a
sentence or point a jest Habit robs
him of recourse to his brain and his
vocabulary and handicaps him when it
comes to the use of thoughts and
words that must be free from pro-
family.
The Washington demonstration, if
Followed up in other cities, may have
the desirable educational effect of
showing men, young and old, how they
are robbing themselves by the use Of
profane words, when there is plenty
of good, old, rugged, more effective
English to express their thoughts.

New York, Oct 19.-The American
home-that is the home occupied by
it's individual owner--is rapidly be.
coming an institution of the past, and
unless some movement looking to its
conservation Is started in another quar-
ter of century, according to the opin-
ion of experts, not more than ten per
cent of the countrys population, ex-
elusive Of rural districts. will live in
their own homes. And that state
once reached, the practical extinction
OF the American home will lie in no
very distant future.
| While this condition is one of the
most startling and certainly one of the
most important facts from an econo-
mic standpoint revealed by the recent
| census; investigators are still at a
! loss to discover the cause, to diagnose
! the case as it were. They are, how
| ever face to face with the fact that
| the conditions exist, most apparently
| of course in the most crowded CEN
| ters of population, but to lesser ex-
tent in every part. of the country.
In New York today, for example, on
ly about $4,000 families representing
| little more than 2 per cent of the
city's population own their own homes.
Half century ago the figure was
nearly 90 per cent. In smaller cities
and towns about the same condition
or affairs is arriving just as surely
even If not so rapidly. What then
Is the cause of the disappearance of
this once national institution?
Various analysts give various soIu-
lions. One of the causes most COM
monty cited is the decreasing size of
the American family, which is now
less than four as compared to more
than six fifty years ago. But whether
the decreasing American family is the
result or the cause of the vanishing
American home is just about as diff
cult OF solution as the famous Ques-
ton as to which came first the hen
or the egg. While the two may seem
TO be inter- related, it is now gener-
ally admitted that they are the COM
mon result of some underlying cause.
The increasing difficulty of obtaining
servants is cited by some as the rea-
son why hundreds Of thousands of per-
sons the country over are giving ND
the individual home idea and taking
up life in apartment houses or hotels. |
The fact that each of these is now
rapidly attracting, even in the smallest
cities, families which a. de-
cade ago had never dreamed of a |
communal life, would in view of the |
undoubted scarcity of servants seem
to bear out this view to a certain ex-
tent.
Again it is held that the increased |
cost of living is responsible for the
changing condition, since it is now i'm
possible for the Individual purchasing |
food and lodging in small amounts
at retail SO to speak-to get as much |
for his money as he can as the patron |
of an establishment whether apart |
ment house or hotel, whose proprie-
tor buys the necessities wholesale and
can sell them in consequence at a price
which the individual cannot approach.
Still other critics hold that laziness
and love Of luxury are the causes of
the new condition, arguing that many

incident with the public declaration of
Congressman John j. Gardner who
seeks reelection in New Jersey, that
a domestic parcels post system is a
! remote possibility because of the cost
| it would entail, word comes from Mex
| leo of g further extension there of the
| parcels post traffic already in opera
| ton between the United States and
that country.
Four more cities have been added to
those In Mexico to which packages
weighing up to eleven pounds may be
mailed from Philadelphia or any part
of the United States for the sum of
IL cents a pound. This rate is per-
mitted under an International agree
ment between the United States and
Mexico, both Of which countries come
under the regulations of the Postal
Union, embra icing practically all the
civilized countries of the world
In marked contrast with this par
cells post rate of eleven pounds for IL
cents pound, Philadelphia cannot
send package weighing more than
four pounds by mail across the river
to Camden, nor to any other part of
the country. Furthermore, he must
pay 16 cents a pound for merchandise
mailed which does not exceed the four
pound limit specified.
AS ranking member of the house
committee on postofice and post roads,
Congressman Gardner holds an inf1u-
entail position in Washington in all
matters pertaining to transit by mail.
He is among the men who have stood
in the way of establishing a parcels
post service in this country in the face
of the demand from all sections for
such a service and the cutlery against
the profits piled up by the privately
owned express companies by reason OF
the monopoly they hold in the parcel
carrying business. Certainly 1t does
not become Mr.. Gardner to argue
against domestic parcels post in the
face of the fact that even Mexico is
extending the parcels post service she
has established in conjunction with
this country.
When eleven pounds of merchandise
may be sent by mail for IL cents a
pound to the republic of Diaz, and the |
same package cannot be sent to Laredo |
or FL Paso, on the Texas border, with
out being split into halves and taxed |
at rate of 16 cents a pound. there is |
something wrong with the postoffice
system.

To begin with this building with it's

Yet it will be able to care for and feed
number of people equal to nearly
1000 average families daily thus
bringing forth in a most striking man
ner the economic reason which is
causing individual homes to disappear.
The furnishing housekeeper'' to
complete his work-all the ordering
has been done by one firm-has found
1t necessary to buy the following in
cidentals, which form a striking Illus
tration of the enormous concentration
on purchasing under the new regime.
approximately $500 rolls of wall paper
VIII be used which represent a total
length of over twenty-five miles in a
single width, while five miles of dra-
peries will adorn the windows and
doorWays. More than 5000 pieces of
furniture and fifteen miles of single
width carpet are included in this list,
while china and glassware reach such
enormous totals as to be beyond the
comprehension of the individual
housekeeper No less than 10000
pieces of the former and nearly 10000
pieces of the latter go to make up
this item, to which must be added
some $4,000 pieces of silverware. More
than anything else these figures IL
lustrate in concrete form chief cause
Tor the disappearance of the individ-

made by buying in carload lots, or by
the thousand dozen in the case of the |

tration, the individual who lives in his |
own home, so far as the expense is |
concerned, Is much in the same posi- |
ton as the small farmer who grinds |
his own flour, while the hotel dwell
ler-and this in smaller sense APP
plies to apartment dWellers since they |
at least buy space and heat by the |
wholesale, finds his counterpart in the
person who purchases his -four from |
the largest manufacturers In the |
country. Likewise in service the same
argument applies, since a hotel cook
can likewise look after the wants of
twenty just as cheaply and much more
satisfactorily than the home cook can /
for those two. Likewise ton of coal /
will produce for better results, pro-
portionately, in the communal home
than In the individual home.
That we are nation OF hotel and /
apartment dwellers so far as our cit

ing. But while various savants are
seeking for various psychological ex-
plantations and likening our condition
to that Of the Roman empire, the rea-
son seems to be purely economic, since
