Yet h@re are many very excellent citizens, otherwise lémeless, addicted to its use; and some of them pos- es8 2 vocabulary that would shame an old time pirate fithe Spanish main. It is a habit, purely, and not n-elegant or creditable on¢ at that. It is true that nén who use profanity in both plain and ornamental tyles, aud even those belonging to the hard swear- ng and blasphemous class, all have the grace to ab- tain from its use under certain circumstances and in hé presence of ladies.

The irgument is that if men can accept the near for the 1.% per cent in one thing they can go a step farther an& find a substitute for profanity, and thereby be- come wholly and unreservedly pure. They say that substitutes may be found in great profysion: to fit any taste, in the prose and poetical classics. Mr. 3hakespeare alone provides them in infinite variety. All. that is necessary is to become familiar with the mdéters of expression and from their works select and adapt according to individual needs. The wider shg¢;search among the classics the greater will be the ‘ing of substitutes in volume, the richer in variety. We regard the suggestion as rather a happy one. Wé6 are certain that its adoption would relieve casual tomversation of a great deal of its tediousness. ee while on the back-door fence and the trail woods, where no squaw rules the wigwam? “If the hand that rocks the cradle does all that they say, is it not equally certain that the hand that spanks the child (be it a spank of the body or the soul) will appeal to he Man's imagination to the end of his days? Will he not walk, so to speak, contin- ually under the shadow and menace of that spank? And if the hand of the spanker be a spinster hand, will it not impress upon the young idea, and the Man who grows out of it, much of the spister’s moral and physical nervousness—her sentimentality and sensi- avoidance of realities? “In the light thus vouchsafed I seem to descry be- hind many of the facts and phenomena peculiar to American civilization the shadow of the ‘school-marm,’ quietly but firmly imposing her individuality and her authority upon the mind of the nation; a benign and intelligent being, no doubt, but, as an educative in- fluence, suffering from the obvious limitations and defects of her femininity. I see her form looming large behind the historic figures of Mr. and Mrs. Wil- son at Versailles; I hear her accents in the Fourteen Points. I detect her feverish inspiration in that n: tional disposition or disorder which Bairnsfather’s ‘Old Bill’ has defined as a ‘rush of ritchiousness to the head.” “I see her shadow (as that of a godmother), au- thoritative but irresponsible, at the christening of the League of Nations; I see her (chewing gum) in the Anti-Saloon League and the counsel chambers of pro- to the = hibition. I discern her clearly behind all the political Panaceas and moral crusades to which Ameri has given a local habitation and a name. Very vigilant she looms behind the activities of purity leagues, a gigantic Mrs. Grundy. I detect distinct echoes of her admonitory tones in the winged words of statesmen and philanthropists, in the pious platitudes of Mr. Bryan, yes, even in the boisterous bellows of Borah. I seem to catch a glimpse of her pale but determined sxpression in the features of the Statue of Liberty.” ———_~--0 The real author of the League of Nations has been discovered. It was not Wilson, neither was it Smuts, if any one is sufficiently interested in the subject at this time to inquire, the answer is Einstein. | EEE RE ESTER, THE THRIFT OF WORKERS. Some startling facts were brought out at a na- tional conference of savings bank then at Philadelphia recently and as reported in the Ledger these are out- standing: Married men save more than single men. More bank accounts are opened in June, the month of marriage, than any other time in the year. The American people—particularly the working trtt ENCHANTED WITH THE SCENERY. A teeny bit higher!

In setting aside the conviction of Senator Truman H. ‘Newberry and others in the federal court of Mich- igan, the supreme court has put an end to the plans of Woodrow Wilson and Henry Ford to land the lat- ter_in the United States senate. The disappointment of [Ford and the chagrin of Wilson were shown by the filing of the case when the people of Michigan had triumphantly elected Newberry to the senate in- stead of Ford. %n fact the charge should never have been filed against the senator and his political workers, for if they were really guilty of political corruption and the wrongful use of money in primary and election, the Ford political forces were equally guilty. The court's decision ends finally a very picturesque struggle between a gallant naval commander and a Pacifist for a senate seat began in the war period when feeling ran high. re still remains the Ford-Newberry election con- test before the senate committee in which a report may be expected during the session. pei Tero wee > INFLUENCE OF THE SCHOOL TEACHER. A writer in a recent issue of the National Review in attempting to explain the present attitude of Amer- people—are doing well in the way of thrift. Never were the savings of the people greater than in 1920. Some of (ne figures are astounding. For example: The deposits in the 619 mutual savinge institution: aggregate $5,585,389,907. It is difficult for the mind to grasp the immensity uf amounts when billions are in question. Suppose then you use some illustra- tions. That 5% billions almost totals all the currency jn circulation in America, It is equal to more than half of the bar and minted gold in the world. It is nearly double the stock of money gold in America. It means about $51.70 per capita—$51.70 for every man, woman and child of the 107,688,000 in the United States. New York may be a spendthrift city, yet its sav- ings banks have $1,832,666,688 on deposit. In the Emigrant Industrial it has the greatest savings insti- tution of the world. If the rest of America did so well as New York City the savings accounts of the United States would approximate 30 billion dollars. Think of it. The figures show that 1920 was the banner year for savings banks. The increase over 1919 totaled $471,760,885. Now, where did this come from? Was the American workman “blowing in” his money as generally supposed? Was he squandering his high wages on silk shirts and expensive shoes and was his wife decking herself out in furs and gew-gaws? May- be some were, but assuredly the vast majority were not. Many, very many, of the wage earners were pru- dent, very prudent. Examination shows that me- chanics bulk large among the depositors; that the for- eign born have a larger proportion of new accounts than the native born, and that it is getting to be more and more of a custom of parents to open an account for a babe at its birth and deposit a stipulated sum for the youngster each week or each month. In the case of a young married couple the majority of the accounts were in the name of the bride. That is fit- ting and chivalrous. It may seem queer, but policemen, firemen and newspaper men are at the tail of the procession of ica:seoms to find the school teacher imposing her in- dividuality upon the mind of the nation. When we conie to look into the situation we find that he may have some ground for his conclusions. From a very early age the always rising generation is for a large portion of the time under the jurisdiction and sub- ject to the influence of the school teacher; and since the very high percentage of school teachers in Amer- ica‘is mace up of women it is but natural that she has left a rather large impression upon minds that to a greater or less extent guide thought and action in present day affairs. This writer says: “Few will deny, I think, that for social purposes intellectual and artistic culture is an almost exclusive feminine monopoly in the United States, or that the peculiar manjfestations of vague idealism and uplift which we have come to associate with American polit- ical pronouncements derive their inspiration from that culture. Even before the war, before the American woman had descended into the political arena, nobody whose business or pleasure took him among the edu- cated classes could fail to be impressed by the fact that while conversation among men was generally con- fined to business, politics and sport, woman's range habitually included all things in heaven and earth, and left her seeking for new worlds to conquer. “Somewhat dazed, but still feebly seeking some natural explanation of all these signs and portents, there came to my recollection the wise words of the philosopher, who said, ‘What you put into the school you get out of the state.’ Whereupon there flashed a { savers in these benks. The explanation as to police- men and firemen is that they have their pension and disability funds. There is no explanation as to news- paper men. They seem to be hopeless. yee a le It is nice for Mr. Stillman to withdraw from the mess he has stirred up but he ought to change the name of his yacht—Modesty. ee REVIVAL OF QLD NAMES. Old fashioned names are coming back. Ornamental names, that for quite some years have been attached to girl babies, only to be modified by the girl her- self when she grew up are no longer in use. Scan the birth columns of any of the large newspapers and you will be surprised at the frequency of the occurrence of such good old names as Jane, Elizabeth, Sarah, Martha, Josephine, while Mary leads the list. A revival is noticed in Florence, due doubtless to the fact. that the first lady of the land bears that name. survey there was not a single Mae or Edythe. Evidently we are getting back to normaley naming our girls. in ———————— THE ULTIMATE IN SINECURES.

(Kergmerer Republican) Wednesday morning the report gained currency about town that a man had been shot at Frontier, the basis of which was a hurried call for a local phyzician. The case proved to be that.of a young son of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Duthie, who had been ac cidentally shot through the palm o his hand by one of the toy pistol abor inations which have been distritutes among the children within the past week by a local morchant.
