AGAINST PROFANITY
A Million will)* movement is «m
root In lip hi against I lie liahil «• t
profauiily, I mi I unfortunately I In*
argu men I advanced against I In*
pernicious lialtil is hascd largely
on religious grounds, which, of
liotvssiily. can he local only in
ils application. NYlial is pro
fanity in Knglish. may nol lie so
in French. Spanish or Dalian.
The Japanese language is singu
larly free from profanity from the
English speaking point of view.
"Itoca" is I lie most lerihle word
in Nipponese, which literally
transl.Ttcd means fool, while the
French have descended to | he
very depths of hlaspheniy when
I hey rail upon the "sacred thun
ders of (Sod." The deadliest in
sult employed liy those •»f the
Jlie Kn^lisli speaking races is
ns'ed <is a Ieni «if endearment by
I In* peasantry of one Knropean
country. "I'luss" words arc
wlial we make I hem, no mope. The
hahiitiial use of profanity is an
evidence of menial deflciiency; it
is a lazy habil, making a mental
parrot of the person indulging in
il, by covering I heir lark of or
iginal though! and eommand of
language. Profanity should be
abolished on the broad ground
I hat it is had form and eviden
ces a woeful lack of self-conl r«»l.
proper training as well as men
ial discipline. The suppression
of profanity can best lie accom
plished by teaching lliosr ad
dicted to thai habit thai they
have no place in self-respect inir
society.
POSTMASTERS BY VOTE.
We predict that the proposi
tion n| soine of tin- leaders in
congress to liase postma>ter>
chosen by jn-imhir vole will not
meet with \e|-\ mil hn-ia-l ie en
ilorsein.'iil. Th'Te an- two rea
sons ai:aiii<i Ihe plan. line is
thai Ihe post master should be
chosen on nieril and not because
oi mis person,-ii or political pop
ularity. TIim sithiuI is I Ii:il the

EDITORIAL WOTES.
The person who would abolish
Santa Clans would rob childhood
of its keenest '.joy.
Kuglaud is still of the opinion

While the Seattle butchers an

are enjoying beef at something

TLi
Those Mexicans who spent the
day in praying for peace are not
the patriots .who commit robbery
arson ami murder in the name o|
liberty.
Should congress probe llir
AI aska salmon canneries, it is a
good gamble that they will not
tind any hatcheries about the
premises.

legal laundering sometimes poiiics

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
"Facts Are bads."
It l a fact that Valdcz beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdcz beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you'll find we're right.
If you drink beer you slroutd use Valdcz beer in preference to
others. First, because of ite unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdcz should patroniz home products.
