1t Is an interesting idea. but not altogether

the "damns' and devils" and references to un-
holy regions that fall from the lips OF male hu-
mainly in moments of excitement but there are
times whfn even the gentlest of women feel the
need of emphatic terms outlet for their
emotions. Long ago some of them fell into the
habit of substituting "pshaw' and sugar"
"sakes alive" dear me- and the like for the
Objectionable swear words used by their men

seems to demand, apparently serves to relieve
their minds quite well as If they had used

senator is an author, too and he has just issued
book comprising SQ4 pages in which he com

those That exist in our country today.
Mr. Lewis sees many striking resemblance.
According to him three great evils led to the
downfall of the Roman republic. The great in

first two evils says Mr.. Lewis are to be found
in the American republic today, the last of the
three was disadvantage outgrown by modern
republics 1t Is very often impossible says Mr..
Lewis, Tor the voters of today. as it was impos-
