THE CURSE OF PROFANITY

Among the few things which the
writer hates with wholesome and
hearty hatred and which has become
a distasteful and disgraceful nuisance
which is met with in many places is
the sin of profanity and indecent lam
guage. While we have laws which reg
ulate the use of such language and
talk in the streets and other public
places, they are seldom, if ever, en-
forced and the army of foul mouthed
verbal vultures keeps gaining in
strength each day, apparently, in
spite of the fact that we have Holy
Name societies, better English cam
paigns and the like from time to time
endeavoring to stamp out this vice.
There can be no denying the fact
that profanity is on the increase and
there can be no denying the fact that
we have laws which, if enforced by
our officers and others, would create
unpleasant situations for those who
persisted in using profanity. The
writer is not particularly anxious to
see anyone get into trouble or into
jail because they happened to emit
an oath or two, or fifty of them for
that matter, during the course of a
days conversation, but he is desirous
of bringing to the attention of some
of the people who can stop this abuse,
the fact that they can do so and fur
ther to bring the fact before the young
men of this city, who use profanity
TO excess, that clean minded, good
people fall far short of approving Of
The Belding banner-news., 1921-08-24

such language on the street or in any
other public OF private place.
We recently visited one Of the pub
lie place in this city and while in the
placea waiting our turn, we noticed 3
young men playing cards at an i'm
provised table in the room. Their
talk was far from being what it should
have been and we heard enough pro-
family in the time we were waiting
and in the time we were being attend
ed TO, to last us for the rest of our ma
tural life. The offenders were young
men, two of whom belonged TO prom
perfectly safe in wagering that none
of that talk would be heard in their
home, yet one is led to think that a
boys life in public is very likely TO
take on or carry something of the
home atmosphere with it and for that
reason there is occasionally a doubt
full thought keeps creeping into our
mind as to what the language is which
the boy hears at home.
OF course, some folks say that ev-
erybody swears more or less and that
it will wear off after a time, but we
are of the opinion that il the pro-
prietor of the particular public place
in which we heard the recent profanity
used-and this particular place is no
worse in this respect than the other
like places throughout the country
would insist that no profane language
be used in his place of business, the
people who detest profanity would
feel great deal freer about going in
TO one of those places. The writer
has been in every one of the places
referred to at different times and was
forced to listed to profane language
)f some sort on every occasion.
In the name, therefore, of the peo-
Die, men and women, of this, city, and
here are many of them. who abhor
hearing the name of the Almighty,
His Divine Son or any other sacred
name abused, or of profanity in any
way, we call upon the proprietors of
Ill stores and public places of this !,
,ity to make a strong effort to rid
heir places of this practice and VIC
llso strongly call upon the young men
md others who have thoughtlessly
,een guilty of using foul or profane
anguage, to desist from it in the flu
ure.

wearing would have sounded differ

THE BELDINo, MICHIGAN. BANMER-NEws

an English writer, who tells Of this
practice in those days AS follows: "A
general coarsness of manners prevail
ed Profane swearing was tie con-
slant practice Of gentlemen. They
swore at each other because an oath
added emphasis to their assertions.
They swore at interiors because their
commands would not otherwise re-
ceive prompt obedience. The chaplain
cursed the sailors because it made
them listen more attentively TO his ad-
monitions. Ladies swore, orally and
in heir letters. Lord Braxfeld offered
to a lady at whom he swore, because
she PLAYED badly at whist, the suff-
cient apology that he had mistaken her
for his wife. Henry Erskine O7t6-
1870 the model of a forensic orator,
swore at the bar. The king swore
necessarily. When his majesty de-
sired to express approval of the wea-
ther, Of a handsome horse, Of din
ner which he had enjoyed, this first
gentleman of Europe supported his
royal observation by a profane oath.
Society clothed itself with cursing as
with garment.
Let us not drift backward 125
years in this deplorable habit.
Another thing which we could not
help but notice was the fact that the
young men above referred to, were
playing cards. Not only playing cards
but we could state on oath that they
were playing cards for money-in
other words, gambling-we saw the
money change hands. This is strictly
forbidden by both state and city laws
and not only were the young men
guilty of an offense which makes them
to the law, but the fact that
with cards was going on in
this particular public place, rendered
the proprietor also liable to punish
ment should action be taken in the
matter. While we have only witnessed
,ard playing going on in one place
to, we are told that there are
others in which the same practice is
tolerated.

There need be less surprise when il
lis understood that bread-making is,
in the older countries, very largely
a mans job. Beyond the sease, peo-
pie have obtained their loaves for
centuries from bakeries and the bak-
ers were ord narily of the masculine
gender. For long time, on the 9TH
er hand, it was the custom every
where In the United States to have
only home made bread, and its max
ing was the job of the good house
wife or the nanny servant. AS i'm
migration grew, however, we began
to see bakeries start up, operated by
French, Germaan, bohemian, Polish
and Ital an men. These bakeries
were small at first, but they increas-
ed in size until the bakery has been
a great industry in America for more
than third of a century.
Still, to the pure bred American, it
still looks queer to see man max
ing bread and queerert o find him
taking a prize at it.
Also, we will find lots of fellows
twitting the ladies about this mascu-
line individual who has beaten them
out at the own job. But we think
they had better not boast too hard,
because, on the other hand, one of
these days

PRAY GOD FOR DISARMAMENT

DOD Oh
On Nov. 21. '18, the German High
Sea fleet sailed gloomily over to
English shores and surrendered. On
that day the supremacy of the At
lant'c ocean as naval sea ended.
In August, 1920, the powerful new
Pacific fleet of the American nation
sailed through the Panama Canal and
plunged into waters of the vast Paci-
fic. On that day the Pacifis ocean
became the seat Of the worlds naval
power.
The most ambitious effort of two
centuries to build up new rule of
the seas failed when Germany hand
ed over her dreadnaughts. 1t is not
to be expected that another European
power will again ever try supremacy
in the Atlantic. There will not be
enough at stake. But in the west it
is different. The two shores of the
pacific loom up in the mists of the
future with such tremendous paten-
t,alit es that, if this world is to con-
tinue 10 be vexed by wars and rumors
of war, at least three nations must
of necessity make the waters of that
vast ocean reck with the smoke OF
their battleships.
Either we must have disarmament
and the probable peace that goes with
Disarmament, or we Americans must
make up our minds TO Enormous Ex-
pend ture of Treasure and Human
Life during the coming decades. 1t
cannot go on as now. If the United
States and Japan continue the pres
ent feverish preparation for war, 1t
will be war.
Declaration of war between Amer
lea and Japan will be the mere touch
Of the match. We will never give in,
and no more will Japan. The whole
world VIII be dragged in-white man
brown man, yellow man, black man.
Anglo-Saxon, Mongolian, Teuton, Slav
and Latin. And don't forget the huge
masses Of humanity in Asia, masses
that can lose millions in the human
flesh every year and balance their
losses with the birth rate.
If il is fate that the flame shall
be kindled, America is not afraid. We
will go to the end of our rights, our
birthright and our honor.
But there is no need of it. The way
but is President Harding's interna-
tional conference. That conference
can SIOp Jfle Hldu IuSu W arms IL ehS
people of the world make it ever
lastingly clear to the conferees that
they had better not adjourn until
they find the route to peace.
What can you do to back the Pres
ident of the United States at this
critical moment in the worlds his
tory?
What can you do to save your chill
dren and your grand children from
destruct on?
At least you can lift your single
voice and you can urge your neighbors
to lift their voices for peace so loud
ly that they will be heard.
The people of every city, every
town, every hamlet, every country
side in America should gather in
meeting and pray for the success of
the com ng international conference

Roses in Many Lands.

Those who associate the rose pre-
eminently with England, are surprised
to find mountains covered with roses
in China, bushes of them; or to see
tall trees uplifting in their arms
climbing roses, whose lanky stems,
having reached the summit, burst in
to flower, and roll down the other
side in wave upon wave Of blossom.
In winter. they are beautiful, covered
with orange or scarlet flask-shaped
"hips." But though wild roses are
far more varied and abundant in the
mountains of Asia than they are In
England, still England has its rOsar'
les and pergOlas; and Is not the rose
garden surely oil its very own?
