AMERICAN PROFANITY.

The pastor of the Madison Avenue
Reformed church, in Manhattan, the
Rev. DR.. Carter preached a timely SER
mon on what lie sometimes, although
unJustly, styled the American vice of
profanity. This is light, flippant and
frivolous age" said DR.. Carter, in the
course of his address, land the stream
of blasphemy and profanity is flowing
in wide channel. 1t enters into social
relations as we'll as business rela-
lions, and into the very home. refiling
everything and every one with whom
1t comes in contact. / quote from an
expert investigator that in the schools
today, profanity is increasing among
all classes of children and in all parts
OF the country. II presents a serious
problem for both the present and the
future. The fact that our democratic
scheme of life levels downward as we'll
as upward is one of the underlying
causes. We are not segregated in
classes like peoples Of other nations.
The stable boy and boy of upper STRAIT
UNI mingle together. Corruption down.
ward sets in, and the only hope is that
the pull upward viii output those who
drag downward"
There is no doubt that the vice of
profanity is altogether too prevalent
in the United States. Clergymen,
teachers and parents should do their
utmost to strengthen the sentiment
against it. Much may be done in this
direction, undoubtedly, by pulpit ap-
peals-but the outside influences which
would brand swearing as vulgar and
unmanly and teach the youth to avoid
it would have also a wide influence. 1t
would be q mistake, however, to sup
pose that the vice Is more prevalent
now than it was in our earlier days.
George Washington, unless he has been
grossly misrepresented, could swear, on.
occasion like the troops in Flanders
or In a fashion that would be tolerated
now IN an admiral of the old school
WHO had little opportunity to enjoy the
refining influence of female society.
But it is still as true, or almost as
true-in the United States as it was
in Jerusalem in the days of jeremiah
that Because of swearing the land
mourneth."

RLAMEs THE CHURCH.

Many and varied explanations of the
movement of country folks toward the
city have been offered. President Ken
yon L. Butterfield of Massachusetts,
Agricultural college makes a novel sug-
gestion when he says the strife between
the city and the country will be decided
on a religious basis. He blanes the
country church for the failure to i'm
prove and .uplift rural communities in
such, a manner that they will be at
tractive to young persons of ambition.
This is new twist in the high cost
of living agitation which will doubt
less be widely discussed. President
Roosevelt's Country Life commission
placed great stress on the importance
of the church as a sociaI--as well as
a religious factor in country communi-
ties-but no writer has so far gone SO
far in criticism of the rural church
as President Butrerfleld
II hold that the rural problems of
the country church is the most import
ant. aspect Of the rural problem. 1t
touches the highest. point Ia the re-
direction ef. rural allfe,., hi sounds the
deepest note in the harmonizing Of
the factors of a permanent rural civil
ization. 1t speaks the most eloquent
word in the struggle to maintain the
statue of the farming class. Can the
church rise to its opportunities ~ asks
President Butterfield.
He urges that clergymen must be
trained especially for country parishes
and insists that 1t is a mistake to
give such changes 10 men who do not
have love for the ways Of rural folk.
It i important that clergymerl should
not regard country churches as a mere
step toward q rich city parish. Presi-
dent Butterfie1d believes. He would
encourage the training OF ministers for
the country with the idea that they
are to make o life work Of preaching
In the country. such men, In his opIn-
ion, would have special education In

POPULAR MAN GONE.

Tomorrow the funeral rites over the
late Frank J. Thompson will be held.
Few men in Fargo left more genuine
friends.
Frank Thompson was mana real
man. There was as little of the hypo-
critic about him as could be found in
human being. He didn't please ev-
erybody. He probably never tried.
He was a radical--but at the same
time a liberal. He conceded other
men the right to their views just as
strongly as he contended for his own.
In his official life he had made good
as an attorney, member of the legis-
lature, assistant attorney general.
member of the board of education and
as city librarian.
There are occasionally men who seem
to have been exactly cast for their
positions and work AS secretary of
the Masonic bodies the deceased was
most happily employed. While it is
true, generally, that a mans place In
life is quickly fllIed-it will be more
than ordinarily difficult for the Masonic
bodies to secure man TO take the
place of Frank J. Thompson.
