Growth of Profanity.

This is My 31st Birthday

LORD DAL ME NY. Lord Dalmeny, son of heir of the Earl of Rosenbury, former Briiih premier, was born January 2, 1882. He was educated at Eton and for a time was an officer of the Grenadier Guards. In his youth he was distinguished as an all-round athlete. At football, racquets and cricket he was able to hold his own against the best players of England. Several years ago Lord Dalmeny was married to the daughter of Lord Henry Grosvenor. In the course of time he will inherit a very large fortune, coming from his mother, who was a Rothschild, and now held for a life interest by his father, the Earl of Rosebery. He will also inherit Mentmore, a great country estate created by his grandfather, Baron Lionel Rothschild, and filled with art treasures, now of almost fabulous value.

THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.

It Ha Frequently Expelled Members

Legally Qualified to Sit. The assumption made in more than one dally journal that the house of commons cannot expel a member who Is "legally qualified to sit is not warranted by precedent, the only authority to which the commons bow. says an English writer. In the eighteenth century the south sea bubble caused many expulsions, although the members" defense had not been heard in the law courts. One of

the victims was Chancellor of the Exchequer Aislabie, credited with having bagged 250,000 from the public, in addition to expulsion, he was sent to the Tower and ordered to refund his booty. An Irish peer was expelled for directing a lottery, while for organizing a "charitable association" of shady habits Sir Robert Sutton and two others were shut out in 1730. Steele of the Tatler was prohibited the house for "maliciously insinuating that the Protestant succession in the house of Hanover is in danger under her maj esty's administration." But perhaps the oddest reason for closing the doors of the house of commons upou a man is to be found in the case of Mr. Asgill. whose sin was that of writing a treatise "On the Possi bllity of Avoiding Death." PhiJadel

A Cleveland, Ohio, citizen is greatly amazed at the startling prevalence of profanity in his native city. If he continues to interest himself in this subject it will not take long for him to ascertain that profanity is used with thesame reckless abandon in Richmond, Indiana, New York City, Rawhide, Nevada, Kalamazoo, Michigan, or any other American community one might mention offtand. Slang has also fluorished with profanity and some times it is difficult to believe that a conversation between two average American men is being conducted in the English langvage. If a slapstick comedian finds it difficult to amuse his audience all he has to say is "Hell" or "damn" and the theater rocks with the laughter. In Richmond, as elsewhere the presence of women and girls is seldom a barrier to the use of blasphemy in offices and public places and on the streets. George Washington put a value on profanity. He regarded it as the most forcible method of expression and never drew on his particular profane vocabulary unless an acute situation demanded a most powerful statement on his part. But profanity no longer serves even this purpose. Oaths of every description are sprinkled carelessly through eight out of ten conversations overheard in a hotel lobby, in a street car or a railroad station. In fact 'profanity has become so common that most people are unconscious of using it. The Cleveland man referred to in writing on the use of profanity in his home city illustrates the reckless use of oaths by two typical citizens of this republic: "Recently having occasion to employ a stenographer, I was sitting alongside him in the lobby of a hotejwhen two men well known about the city came in and took seats in chairs the backs of which were against our own. The conversation between these men, talking on the trifling topics of the day, was so streaked with profanity that the stenographer, at my suggestion, made a verbatim copy of their talk for a period of about ten minutes. Later he gave me a transcript, of his shorthand notes. We went over the report with care and found that of 375 words spoken by the two men in the ten minute period exactl 89 words were oaths. And there was no possible reason for the use of on1. In some of the "conversations" heard on the street cars it is probable the percentage of oaths to ordinary English words is even greater."

The Business System,

When the Indiana legislature meets this week one of the first bills to be introduced will be the measure for the business system of government for cities. This measure is a proposal to give the municipalities of the state a commission plan of rule. The News believes thelegislature should pass this measure. It is a plan of municipal rule by which its supporters say It is purposed to make city government non-partisan and to make the management of city affairs a matter of business efficiency. These two fundamental purposes, joined in the business system character, are uppermost in the modern tendencies of municipal politics. Intelligent people of cities everywhere have long realized that their local affairs are not partisan questions; that the greatest as well as the most numerous of municipal functions have to do with matters that are essentially business matters; that work done for the city should be as well done and service rendered the people should be as efficiently rendered as though each citizen were being dealt with persona y. If "The Business System of Government presents a plan by which these improvements in city government may be brought about, it is a boon that should not be passed by. The News believes the people of Fort Wayne as well as the people of any other Indiana city should be given the right to vote on some such plan of local rule. If a majority in any city want it, let them have the opportunity to test the merits of the plan and so give a practical demonstration under fair conditions of what can be accomplished by its operation. That is the only way it can be tested conclusively. If it works out as it is purposed to work out, the people of all cities will be the gainers by success of the plan. To put this measure on the statutes and make it available for cities that want to try the business system will be in accordance with home rule principles; to let the people of each community have the privilege of voting upon it will be a proper recognition of the right of cities to dictate as to the manner of their government in local affairs. The Indiana legislature will not find a good reason for denying the people of the cities their right to an opportunity to vote upon a system of government designed to improve conditions in municipalities. And when the News says "designed to improve conditions" it does not go on record as endorsing this particular plan. It recognizes its good intentions without subscribing to it as a panacea for municipal ills. It merely declares with all the emphasis of which it is capable that if the people of Fort Wayne, or any other Indiana city desire to experiment along this line the privilege should be accorded them.

The Theaters

"BOUGHT AND PAID FOR." A good play. Is "Bought and Paid For." For it holds the fine balance between comedy and tragedy, between pathos and sentiment, between exposition and suggestion. The basis for the story is old as the world and will continue as long as men and women exist. But it has many facets. Including the expression of sexual passion, the excitation and psychological effects of "drink," the obligation of the marital relation and the maintainance of the integrity of the individual above every social consideration. Is a woman, once she has walked to the altar with a man and mumbled over the marriage service, the man's creature, body and soul? This is the problem of "Bought and Paid For." "Virginia Blaine," telephone girl,

was needed to keep him th.lt tide of the line, with the full quota of male egotism, with a certain whimsicality which recognised his own defect and yet hung to their denial, thoroughly selfish and a sublime ability to make an entire expose of his nice, vulgar little soul on every occasion. The "Oku" of Mr. Clyde Crawford the Japanese body servant of Stafford was somewhat overdone. He was. in short, distinctly tiresome. First hand observations of Japanese servant ta this country disclose no demeanor

kindred to that of 'Oku." Maybe, though, they act that way in Japan. K G. W.

withstanding his protests thoroughly sobered he is as usual penitent his pleading, goes. Through the simple and innocent strategy of her sister and brother-in-law, in whose flat she lives while she works as a cash-girl in a shop of some sort, the two are brought together. They have always loved each other. She has perfect confidence in his faithfulness to her. It is the one thing which can necessarily only be suggested in dramatic presentation and illustrated but once in a kiss that separates them. While he has refused to promise her that he will never drink again and for this specific thing she leaves him, in the reconciliation the audience understands that he has foresworn the festive champagne cup.
