Blue Language

The war has made us more
protane, which gives my gentle
soul pain. In olden times we
used to swear when sick or
burdened down with care: if in
the darkness we arose and on
the door jamb broke a nose,
we'd spring some redhot parts
OF speech which made the weary
welkin screech. But when no
stern occasion called for Ian
guage that would scorch and
scald, our speech was soothing
and refined, the output of the
placid mind. But now we cuss
the whole day long, and no one
seems to think it wrong. The
stories in our public prints are
full of words of lurid tints, and
cen the pastors shock the pews.
the sort of adjectives they use.
Profanity was always coarse ;
and now It's losing all It's force,
when it is sprung in constant
fiow-it lacks the pep OF long
ago, In war it may have been
all right, this dafnning every
thing in sight, for we were
racked by dread and doubt, and
'cusswords seemed to help US out.
But now that peace is come
again. let's be polite and godly
men, and quit this foolish, stupid
stunt of pushing swear words to
the front. WALT MASON.

SUFFRAGE APPEAL

So FIRMS NOW IN LINE

The Chamber of Commerce, in SEES
sion at Rauscher's last night adopted
the plan of appealing to the people of
the states to help Washington get
representation in Congress and in the
electoral college.
The chamber heartily Endorsed the
steps taken by Joseph D. Kaufman It
start this out-of-town campaign by
inducing business men to print !;
short, snappy plea for representation
on their letterheads.
Mr.. Kaufman announced that thirty
six firms already have taken up the
plan. IL each firm averages only
twenty letters a day there are already
100 appeals going out to all parts o
the country, urging representation for

Mix Pleasure and Business.

The chamber mixed pleasure with
business at the meeting. which was
the first since the election of Robert
n. Harper as president. Earl Z.
budding, president of the Prisoners
Relief Society, spoke. W. H. Whips, a
physical culture expert, made a brief
talk on the value of healthy men to
a nation, and at the end of the meet
ing he staged a boxing exhibition to
interest the chamber members in the
manly art. A comedy motion picture
and a buffet supper completed the pro-
gram.
Joseph d. Kaufman stirred the
chamber members by his talk on the
timeliness of fighting for repre-
sentation in Congress now Mr.. Kauf-
man said he has not done much for
suffrage for several years, but the
recent 'fndefensible attack of Senator
Sherman on Washington got me going"
The plan of printing an appeal on all
correspondence asking the people of the
states to help the District get repre-
sentation is only small project, he
SAID, but 1t is a beginning and should
be followed by bigger and more impress
sive campaigning in the states

People in States Amazed.

Il have been amazed in the trips /
have made outside of Washington" said
Mr.. Kaufman. "at the great number of
people who have no idea that in this
progressive nation there are 400, 900 peo-
pie without any voice in their govern
ment."
Mr. Kaufman said he recently saw in
a magazine several pages of advertising
about the city OF Dayton, Ohio, and its
commercial possibilities. When he fin
ished reading it. he said. he was con-
WINGED that Dayton must be live place.
Such advertising, ne commanded, would
get Washington's case quickly before
the country.
A lengthy debate on the question of
whether the chamber should work for
local self-goyernment as well as for rep
resentatiyes in Congress preceded a
vote on the motion to Indorse Mr.. Kauf-
mans letterhead campaign.
1t was decided to eliminate the local
seif-government feature and work ex-
ciusively for representation

One Step at a Time.

IF we can get two senators, two
representatives and a voice in the
electoral college we'll be able TO get
local self-goyernment afterward if
we want IT," said Chaplin Brown.
Along the same line, John C. Capers
pointed out that few members of Con-
gress are opposed to giving Washing
ton representation in the House and
Senate, whereas many of them are
opposed to restoring local self-gov-
eminent here.
The chamber Endorsed a resolution,
referred to it by the United States
Chamber of Commerce, asking Con-
gress TO consider the creation of an
enlarged Federal Trade Commission to
control business enterprises in future
in place of antitrust laws, operation
of which was suspended during the
war.
The chamber also adopted a reso-
lutioS offered by DIR. c. r. Du Four,
chairman of the public health COM
mittee, asking Congress to pass the
bill requiring the reporting of Ger
tain communicable and infectious
diseases to the District authorities.
DR.. Du Four explained that this was
in line with a nationwide campaign
being conducted by the United States
public health service to curb these
Diseases

Look to Next Congress.

In answer to a question from the
floor, Chaplin Brown, an active suf
frage worker, explained that it was
too late now to expect this Congress
TO take any action, but that every
effort will be made TO have the new
Congress pass the joint resolution
providing for an amendment to the
Constitution which would give Wash
lngton representatives in the House
and Senate and a vote in the electoral
college.
The chamber again discussed the
critical situation existing in the pub
lie schools as a result of the steady
departure of trained teachers to jobs
paying better salaries.
On motion of Roy c. Clafin, the
chamber adopted resolution ex-
pressing regret that no permanent in
creaseS for public school teachers
have been recommended to Congress
in the appropriation bill. The reso-
luton contained a last-minute ap-
peal to Congress to insert in the bill
the scale of increases recommended
by the chamber some time ago.
