Some coment was excited the other day by the severe sentence imposed upon a couple of Brooklyn 'women tor the public use of bad language. Instead of merely fining them a small sum, the justice sent them to prison for a considerable term. At the same time he made it known that he was determined to discourage the use of vile lan guage in the streets, and that he would impose heavy penalties upon all persons convicted before him oi the offence. That justice was quite right, and it might well be wished that others would follow his example. The use ot profane and obscenelanguage in public is a great evil. The streets, the parks and all places of popular resort are infested with it. Those traditioual swearers, long shoremen and truck drivers, are not the only sinners; but the latter are to be found among nearly all sorts and conditions of men, and among women, too, as the incident cited demonstrates. It is a literal fact that one cannot go far on a fre quented thoroughfare without having his ears offended with lan guage unfit to be heard by decent people. There ought to be pro tection against indecent sounds as well as against indecent sights and acts. Nor is the evil confined to ruffians and harridans. It is unhappily true that there is a considerable prevalence of bad language among men and women, too of other wise decent morals and of much re finement and culture. Especially has there been in recent years a really startling increase in the use of one certain expletive, to the thoughtful and reverent mind per haps the most shocking of all. To take the name of God in vain in any form is bad enough. But worst of all. and now unhappily most common, is it to take it in vain in the form of the name of Him whom even a sometimes rib ald playwright described as A soft, rru't'k. liatlent. bumble, t rami nil Milrtt The drat true ifeut luinan that ever breathed, It would be in the interest not only of piety, but of common de cency, to put a check upon this in cessant profane bandying of the name of Jesus; add upon all evil language. New York Tribune. There is no place of which we have any knowledge where there is more profanity and vulgarity on the streets than right here in Bloomsburg. Little school boys relieve you of all trouble as Free of Charge. can be heard daily. on their way to and from school, uttering the worst kind of profanity, with an air that indicates that tney feel that thev are doing something smart because they can swear as fluently as their older brothers, or perhaps their fathers. If the school teachers are not teaching moralsas well as book learning, they are not doing their duty. There seems to be no hope of interference from the police. Voting men 0:1 the street corners swear as badly when the police are by as at any other time, and the loudest when ladies are passing The police can stop this by making a single arrest and making an ex ample. Will they do it ? A MERITED REBUKE- Some time ago a general election bill was introduced in the House by Hon. Ered Ikcler. It was referred to the committee on elections, and there it languished in spite of all efforts to get it reported t the House. On Monday night Mr. Ikeler offered a resolution to dis miss the committee from further consideration of the bill. In speak ing of tke resolution Mr. Ikeler with keen sarcasm, administered a sting ing rebuke to the majority. He said: "Since the organization of this House we have kept a Governor busy correcting our grammar and probing our morals; we have risen in righteous indignation over the wrongs done to squirrels and rabbit and bullfrogs and terrapins; we sprang to the relief of the gentle man from Philadelphia on the sub ject of reedbirds; we debated lng and wisely over oxeyed daisies and wild carrots, but, through it all, the ballot bills have slept the sleep of death in the pigeon holes of the Elections Committee. He declared that the people who were higher than political powers would some day rise in their wrath and all opposition to ballot reform would disappear like a tissue of cob webs in the path of a tempest. The resolution was deteated by a strictly partisan Tote. . 1 Can Collect irom Property Owners. A bill of interest to residents of boroughs, where street paving is con- emplated, passed the house finally Tuesday, authorizing boroughs to re quire the improvement of its thorough fares with or without the petition of the property owners and to collect the whole or such part of the cost and expense as shall be "provided by the ordinance requiring such paving to be done. The Teachers' Salary Bill. The Harrisburg Patriot intimates that the Snyder bill fixing the salary of public school teachers may never become a law. It savs the measure nay die in committee in the Senate, cud should it be resurrected and passed, it will be declared unconsti tioual. Such is the talk among the Senators.

We hear a ereat deal todav about the divine and infallible right of contract to strike at which would be to strike at the root itself nf our institutions, savs the New York Journal. The employer de clares he has the right to engage nis la nor and pay lor what he gets. He hiies these children and he pays do more than they are worth to him. "But. continues the -" does he pay for what is sacrificed to his greed r Does he pay for the crippled bodies, the immted intellects and the wasted lives of these little creatures? Hoes he provide that after thev have served out their usefulness to him these physical and moral wrecks shall not become the charges of the community ? In this connection it might be well also to consider thee questions: Does the employer pay for the future condition of the human race, which he impairs and weakens? Does he pay for the progress oi civilization, which he hampers and retards? Does he pay for the hospitals and insane asylums which he helps to make necessary ? Does he pay for the .darkness he helps to shed in the lives that are entitled to have light ? Child labor is a crime against the child and against society. 0. U- A- ii, District Convention.

The present mild and delightful weather, which is more characteristic of the fore part of April than of March, is pushing tne runs aiong very rapiilly. it is too early for such weather to stay with us Grim winter has only gone around the corner and he may be re lied upon to come sneaking back one of these days. We mav have another blizzard; at all events there will be plenty of freezing weather, which will nip the buds if too far de veloped, ruining the prospects for cherries, apples, peaches, etc. The present kind of weather is agreeable enough to humanity after a long siege of winter, but it would be much better for us all if the quota 6f freezing weather, which March is pietty sure to bring, had fallen on the first half of the month and the mild weather on last hall. Under the circumstances it is much to be desired that colder weather may ensue in order to hold 1 back the buds. FOR MEN We want you to look at our Spring Styles.

McIIenry, which oc curred at his home in Stillwater, on Monday. i lis illness was brief. He had only been sick for a few days, and was not considered setious even by his most intimate friends. But the disease pleuro-pneumonia settled upon his lungs and carried him off quickly. In the death of "Marvey" as he was more familiarly, known, Still water has lost a good citizen. Known perhaps throughout the entire county, by reason of his ac tivity in politics, he having served a term as jury commissioner, and having for a number of years been a member ot the Democratic stand ing committee. He was liked by everybody. He always had a kind word and a pleasant smile He like every human being had his strug gles and contests in life, both in business and public affairs, but they left 110 wounds. He was a generous and an honorable antag onist, his memory will suggest no bitter feelings. He was the eldest son ot the late E. J. McHenry. and was forty-six years of age. He is survived by a wife, formerly Miss Savage, daugh ter of David Savage of this town, and two children, his mother, two sisters, Mrs Ada Weaver, of Wilkes- tiarre, and Mrs. Hettie Zaner. of Audobon, Iowa, and a brother, A. J. McHenry of Stillwater. The funeral will be held in the Christian Church below Stillwater- this morning at ten o'clock. Inter ment will be made in the Church Cemetery. Not Entitled to Recover- Widow ol Man Who Failed to Pay Royal Arcanum Assessment Cannot Secure Insurance. In the United States circuit court of appeals at St. Louis on Thursday an opinion was handed down by Judg? Thayer which is of interest to frater nal organizations 'and members who are insured against death in these organizations. George F. Taylor, a member of the Royal Arcanum. Arapahoe lodge of Denver, Colorado, diad in November, 1900. Payment to his widow, Anna J. Taylor, of a $3,000 insurance cer tificate was contested on ground that he had not paid the monthly assess ment of October, 1900, due , on the last day of the month, and was there fore suspended according to the by laws. The collector failed to pay Taylor's Assessment for October, as he had been m the habit of doing when over due, ard when it was tendered three days later just before Taylor's death, it was refused on the ground that un der the by-laws Tj)lor was under sue. pension, Mrs 1 ay lor recovered judg. ment against the Supreme Council, which appealed. Judge Thayer, writing the opinion, says the question at issue is to deter mine whether the Supreme Council was cognizant of the practice of the collector in accepting the assessment of Taylor after he was delinquent and whether it ratified such practice by accepting the delinquent's assessment in violation of its by-laws. He finds nothing in the evidence to warrant this assumption and orders the case remanded with instructions to the trial court to instruct the jury that the plaintiff is not entitled to recover OA.8 I'- XlIAi SPRING- -A-jEIE I - IBE - FOR BOYS Our stock consists of the latest designs in Fancy Suitings in Black and Blue and Worsteds, Greys, Etc., in double and single breasted.

Seeds ot the Rural District- Every rural community needs at least th"ee institutions the Chris tian church, the public school and the Grange hall the church to foster the spiritual interests of the people, the school to give the chil dren the foundation ofati education and the grange as a social, educa tional, business centre. Few would care to live where the first two are not within easy reach, but the com munity that has only these suffers a great loss. Broad intellectual and even moral development come only from contact ol mind to mind. In the country this contact does not come from the nature of the sur roundings as it does in the centre of population. It must be provided for or the people will lead isolated lives. Isolation means narrowness" and dullness. When the people meet to give the hand clasp of fra ternity, to deliberate on questions of common interest, aud toco oper ate in matters that concern them, dullness aud uarrowuess have no place.
