High links at Takoma Park.

The small boys of Takoma Park, Md.
are evidently in need of series Of init
mate personal attentions. If all the tales
that are told of them are true, there
should be this very night sound Of
wailng in that suburb Indicative Of a
stern parental determination TO exercise
the evil spirit that has Of late possessed
these young desperadoes. AS The Stars
news columns have told, the Takoma
Park boys have adopted as a pastime
such merry little pranks as smashing WIN
dows, looting woodsheds and capturing
and tying to stalks other youngsters who
do not belong 20 the gang. On one occa-
sion Q small boy was held thus in leash for
several hours before rescue, and recently
the merrymaking OF the Takoma Park
children reached climax In an actual
attempt to burn victim at the stake
the unwilling principal performer being
dragged from the flames just I'm the nick
of time.
In a case like this organization on the
part % the parents will work wonders.
What hese boys need is realization
that they are not engaged in play, but in
real warfare. serious conflict with the
Law, the law OF the home and the law OF
the community. Birch rod discipline will
he of little value if applied spasmodically.
The boys who are whipped will perhaps
be regarded as heroes and martyrs while
those who escape will consider themselves
fortunate in having lodged punishment.
If every boy in Takoma Park who cannot
prove an absolute abb were soundly spanked
ON a certain occasion. with the assurance
that there was more OF the same kind in
store, these wild west raids and aboriginal
antics soon would be discouraged. What
Takoma Park chiefly needs just at pres
ent h formally proclaimed trouncing
time. The chances are that somewhere in
the community is single boy from
whom all this mischief has spread, but
all his imitators are nevertheless in sore
need of assurance that highway robbery
and ambuseadng and stake burning are
now out OF fashion.

Uselessness of Profanity.
From the st. Paul Pioneer Press,

=
A new item from Cedar Rapids, Ia,
explains that 300 Masons, as a part of q
celebration held recently in their new
temple, registered a mental vow never
again to utter profane language. The
event was so unusual that it was deemed
of sufficient Importance to be telegraphed
to newspapers in different parts of the
country. 1t was an interesting occur
renee because SO large a body Of men
should join In making such a VOW. The
interesting part should have been in the
fact that 1t was possible to find 800 men
in any one town who do utter profane
language. There is nothing more useless
than profanity. 1t serves absolutely no
purpose. 1t affords no qualification or
satisfaction to the user, and is undigni-
fed in it's wantonness. There may be
some excuse for a man who has an un-
controlled appetite for drink, drugs. or
any Of the other vices. No one has a
natural craving for profanity. Swearing
is q habit based on thoughtlessness, and
is without single mitigating feature. 1t
has become SO common that the serious
ness Of it is lost to view by very large
percentage of the people.
The action of the Cedar Rapids Masons
and of the Catholic organizations that
have taken up the crusade in the east
should bring the people of the country
to a realizing sense of the prevalence and
futility of profanity.

The Democratic House Fog.

The democrats Of the House are un-
doubleday in a fog. They are calling to
one another in contradictory terms. No
body seems absolutely certain as to where
he is at.
According to the present understanding,
Mr.. Clark is not to name the committees.
That is to be done by a committee lie
is to be simply the presiding officer, with
power over points of order and motions
to adjourn. He is not to know the per-
sonnet Of the committees until the list is
handed him, and then he will read it
merely for information 1t will not mat
ter whether he approves of the selections
made or not His not to know the reason
why. His but to bang his gavel, and go
ahead. II he does not like the list he car
lump it. Such is the spirit of the exist
ing arrangement.
And yet here are the Georgia members
serving notice on Mr.. Clark that Mr..
Brantley of that state, who is a member
of the ways and means committee in the
present House. must be a member of that
committee in the next House. Mr.. Brant-
ley. 1t seems is, from one point of view,
unorthodox on the tariff. That is to say,
he has voted, and with opportunity will
vote again. for protection duties on arti-
cles produced by his constituents, or in
which they are interested. Therefore he
must be dropped. How can he help frame
tariff bill to redeem such promises as
were made by his party last fall, and now
await redemption?
But what is that to Mr.. Clark? What
is he to Mr.. Brantley. or Mr. Brantley to
him. that he should violate the terms
upon which he is to be Speaker, and
pull for him? And suppose he should
pull" What would it amount to? Who
would respond? Imagine Mr.. Clark APP
preaching his friends and saying openly
or secretly that Mr.. Brantley must be
recognized as his, Brantleys, friends de-
sire! Why, il he could do that in one
case he could in all, and where then
should be the new rule about the Speaker
and the committees? These Georgians.
who are committed to the new rule, want
it done for before the time comes for 1t
to be put in operation.
Mr.. Clark's troubles are just beginning.
He knows that. His sixteen years of
congressional service have taught him
what to expect 1t will not matter under
what conditions he takes the chair
whether the rules allow him much au-
thority or none-he is going to be pestered
almost to death by those seeking advice
and pull on all sorts of subjects. He
will have to be on his guard, or he will
be tempted to use the gavel for another
purpose than hammering the House to
order.
