PROFANITY GETS NOTHING.

one Of the bN-productS Of the
war IS increased profanity. We
need not trace the causes. If i is
a crime To swear at a Hun we
fear that Montana would not be
large enough for. an intcrnmcnt
camp Of guilty ones.
Wars breed profanity. as Wit
ness the following comm,lnica-
ton from General George Wash
ington, dated West POINT. JULY %
i779:
MANY and pointed orders have
been issued against that unmean-
ing and abominable custom of
swearing, Notwithstanding which,
with much regret, the general oh
serves that 1t prevails, if possible,
more than ever His feelings are
continually wounded by the oaths
and imprecations of the soldiers
whenever he is within hearing of
them.
"'fhe name Of this Being from
whose bountiful goodness we are
permitted 10 exist and enjoy the
comforts of life is necessarily inn
precated and profaned in a manner
as wanton as i, is shocking. For
the sake, therefore, of religion, de-
cency and order, the general hopes
and trusts that officers of every
rank will use their Influence and
authority to check Il vice which
is as Improbable as il is wicked
and shameful"
Washington was right, o
course. The habit of profanity i.
both Improbable and wicked an,
il is largely habit. Profanil,
always weakcns the force of Ian
guage rather than strengthens it
II is ne reflection on the argu
mcnt Of Washington. that he him
self, yielded to profanity in time

Somewhere in the archives a

record Of what Washington said
to General Lee when he found
him retreating before the British
at Monmouth. II is sufficient to
say that when Washington had
finished. the atmosphere around
Lee was hot enough to melt bar
.of solder.
When seized with the desire
for profanity let MS count ten in

Two weeks ago. when the thcrmOm-

wave was forestalled by the prompt
flooding the public skating rink at
Higgins avenue and South Fourth

has been mild and agreeable, more like
September than November.
But the good effects Of that flooding
seem to be wearing off. Somebody
