Would Abolish “Cussin.”

A Populist member of the Kansas legislature, whose hobby is the introduction of bills to prevent crime, has an idea that profanity is the basis of all wrongdoing, and he argues that if ‘ ‘pussin” cau be stopped morality can have a clean sweep. He has therefore introduced a bill to prevent swearing, publicly or privately, under heavy penalties and will use his utmost endeavors to have it enacted into a law.
