ANT|-PROFANE LEAGUE
Rec Heights to Fight the Pro-
fame Language Habit

Rec Heights, Jan. IF the hopes
of those who have been instrumental
in organizing a unique club in Rec
Heights are realized, "B'gosh," and
"Ob, spongecake'' will be the strong.
est terms used in the town in future.
The new society is named the Anti
Profane Language League, and, az its
name implies, it has for its purpose
the final elimination Of profane Ian
guaga within the boundaries of the
town. If a member feels that he must
swear he will be required to proceed to
a point outside the limits of the town
to relieve his feelings. Otherwise he
will Ge penalized.
The penalty is provided as an aid
to the memory of members who mo,
mentarily forget themselves and in
dulge in strong language. The penal.
ty for each offense is five cents, and
will be levied when one member de-
tects another in the use of cuss words.
The money collected in penalties will
be placed in a fund and later sent to
the Children s Home in Sioux Falls, to
be used for the benefit of the inmates
of the home. The fund is expected to
grow quite rapidly until some of the
more profane members become accus-
toned to giving vent to their feelings
by some method other than The use of
profanity.

CLEAN CITY
Dens of Vice and Gambling
Swept Out of Canton,
China.

Pekin, China. Jan. IA common
proverb in China"was, IF you wish to
be wicked go to Canton"
One who knowns the old Canton,
with its treasures Of iniquity, would
be greatly surprised today at the ire
mendous change. No longer do the
four story palaces of vice near the
foreign settlement bring their seductive
influence to bear on the youth of the
city all are dark and the streets are
deserted. The lower bund fitted up in
the latest style. a thousand-fo foot front
of red light" is the military bar
racks.
No longer do you find on three and
four corners of the principal street
crossings the blatant signs, Gambling
Here" There is not an open gambling
den nor a lottery in this city of more
than 1900. 900 of people. Opium
smoking, that curse worse than drink
in western lands, is gone, never to re.
turn, it is asserted.
Not only have these three open sores
of the western world healed, but age
long abuses due to ancient religion and
custom have been cut away to allow
the new growth of truth to appear.
Slavery has been abolished, by law,
and assistance is given to those who
are freed to find means of livelihood.
Four hundred girls are being educat-
ed in one school at the city's expense.
The blind singing girls are now being
cared for and given an education in in
dustrial work.
And, finally, the nunneries have been
opened, the girls in them are allowed
the choice of leaving or remaining,
and the small girls purchased to be
brought up as nuns are liberated and
are being taught in government
schools Twelve of the 10 Confucian
temples in the city have been turned
over to the control of the educational
department to be used as schools.
These great reforms are but the re-
snlt of the natural moral force of the
Chinese, combined with the enlighten-
ment of the west. Once freed from
the long, crushing thralldom of the
Manchus, the Chinese have leaped to
the front rank of moral reform.
1t is true that opium and gambling
in Canton were prohibited before the
revolution came, the latter only a
few months before. but they were the
results of agitation through those at
tempting to get at the root of the mat
ter under the inertia of the Manchu
government, and who were successful.
The Manchus thought to throw them of
the trail by permitting lesser reforms.
1t is noteworthy that within three
months after the new Cantonese gov
eminent was formed and the present
corps of officers was we'll established
this city, once the worst of the marts
of China, has become a model city.

J. A. Edwards of South Dakota
Found Dead in Box Car.

Sioux Falls, Jan. II. A. Edwards
is the name of a young South Dakota
farme Ell who met death in a peculiar
manner. Edwards lives neal Fowley,
the first station out from Watertown
on the South Dakota Central. Friday
evening he arrived in Sioux Falls over
the South Dakota Central with a car
load of potatoes. The potatoes were
consigned to Fort Dodge and were
transferred to the Illinois Central.
Fearing that the potatoes might freeze
a charcoal burner was placed in the
car.
When it became time for the freight
to leave at 5:45 Saturday evening Ed
wards could not be found ard the train
dispatcher gave instructions to put the
car in the train and start it for its
destination.
The car was sealed and started east
AT Cherokee the car was opened, but
there was no signs of Edwards.
However when the train reached Fort
Dodge Sunday morning the car was
again opened and Edwards was found
partially disrobed and dead, death hav
ing been caused from a~sphyxiation
from the gas from the charcoal burner.
1t is believed that the unfortunate
man was in the car when il was
sealed in this city and that be was
probably dead at that time.
1t was in the night when the car
was opened at Cherokee and the
search was not a thorough one.
Edwards was a young man about
"a years of age. and had been mar
ried but a short time. His mother
lives at st Louis, aud she and Mrs.
Edwards have both been notified.
