This last Item on the program
should be carried out with the end in

Now regardlng the object and rost
of such a day's program. In the flrst
place such a program will appeal to
both' old and young. The antlques
and liorrlbles parade will be some
thing that the youngsters will want
to be in.
Also In the civlc and military par
ade, there is a chance for the boys.
Take the boys in the dlfferent wards
and organize theA into marching
clubs.
Cash prizes should be awarded in
both these events, say for the best
three local hits in the flrst parade and
for the best marching club in the sec
ond, also prizes should be given in
the automoblie parade for the best
decorated automobile.
The sports in the afternoon will be
another feature where the boys can
take an important part.
Glve the boys an opportunity to bo
leaders in the days doings and tliey
will have less tlme to get out and
shoot otf flngers and toes.
Such a program as outllned will not
cost as much as one mlght think at
flrst glance, those wlio liave been in
the hablt of having thelr own little
evenlng celebration could put into the
general fund, the amotint they wonld
spend for their own flre works and
thereby not only enjoy the day them-
selves, but glve those wlio could not
aft'ord to spend any money on thls
day, a chance to enjoy the day as
well.

that It will glve the niatter of a safe

nre the only pleces known to bo re

set. Tho others have boen given away

Montpelier Illstorlcal Soclety.

us try to Hve up to lt."
Thls ls not entirely sllly. lCveryono

ence of cnvirontnent, and clothes con
stitute a part of one's environnient.
I know a good woman who ailmits
that she Is In a much more becoming
frame of inlnd to recelve a good ser
nion when she is consclotts that lnr
hat Is beyond crltlclsm. Carlyle con-
sldered tho Philosopliy of Clothes
sufilclently important to write a book
about It Some one mlght well wrlte
an essay on the moral Influence of the
plug hat.
As Montpeller's new Clty Hall ao-
proaches completlon there is seen ln
a revlvlng clvic spirlt the Intluencc of
archltecture and jirogress on clvic
ideals and an effort on the part of
the people to Hve up to lt.
Think of tho new organlzations,
formed for publlc purposes, slnce the
constructton of the Clty Hall was
commenced, all of them tlolng or
promlslng to do good work- for thc
comniunlty the Board of Trade, Hu
mane Soclety, iWonian's Club and the
Hlstorical Soclety. There is a placo
for every one of these, work for each
to do, and lt is encouraglng, as evi
dence of the public spirlt that ani
niates Montpelier people, that they
are beginnlng to do thelr work thor-
oughly and well.
Of course the knockers' club will
get out the hammers and talk of the
uselessness of such organlzations or
the foollshness or thelr plans, but the
knockers are people who, never dolng
anythlng themselves, are jealous
when any one else essays lt. They
are not to be mlnded. Every one of
these organlzations may, probably
will, make mlstakes. I)ut what or It?
For two or three thousand years the
woiid has learned by making mls
takes.
Those who dlrect the affalrs of
these organlzations must not bo un
duly sensitive,' though auxlety to
succeed may tend to make them so. I
have poked a little fun at the Wo
man's Club ln thls column, with not
the slightest purpose of hostlle crlt
lclsm, and I don't belleve thls pleas
antry was taken at all serlously, by
the club, though some one dld uso the
columns of the Evenlng Argus to re-
ply and accuse me of thlngs I had
never sald. The crownlng beattty of
that attack on me was tho crltlclsm
of a receipt I had prlnted for thc
boullabaisse immortallzed by Thack-
eray. The writer assumed that It was
a preparation of my own, whoreas lt
was sometblng that those who were
prhileged to taste the cookery ot the
genlal satlrlst unlted ln pralsing, and
I felt I was dolng a service in reprint
lng Thackeray's dlrectlons.
Thls mlght be cousldered an ovl
denoe of tho futlllty of trylng to do
the publlc a favor, but I am not golng
to be feax'd by a little thlng llke that.
If there ls a real domand, rfnd I ber
lleve there ls, for a safe and sane,
whlch means a less nolsy, Fourth of
July, tho way to secure lt Is to have
a publlc a,nd fonnal celebration.
True, the law forblds the 'sale of flre
works, but can the law be enforced?
And If salas are prevented In the clty
will that prevent the brlnglng in of
crackers and rockets and othcr vehl
cles of nolse and smoke? What ha3
been tho hlstory of the last ten years?
Young Amorlca must have vent for
lts feelings on that day. It ls "up to"
those who may take chargo of and
dlrect such affalrs to siiow Young
Amorlca how lts patriotlsni and en
thuslasm may he satlsfled wlthout
creatlng a nulsanco and making the
day a hurdon to other folks. The boys
can have as much fun plannlng ,par
ndes and spoctaelos nnd nthletlc con
tcsts as they can In sootlng rockots
up Stato streot ant tlirowlng cannon
crackers In front of the street cnrs.
If wo aro to have a safe and sane
rourth the oldor ones must show thi
youngsters how they can have a good
tiiuo wlthout dlsturblng the entiro
comniunlty.
A man dolng some odd jobs of
housecleanliig about n houso In the
clty, when tho faniily were all out.
h-'n d tho telephono rlng and thought
(t ottght to bo answered. He was
strango to tho Instrument and could
not under8taud what was belng su'U
at thc other cnd. At tast man thc who
was trylng to talk with lilm sald:
"What's the mntter? I can hear
you all rlght."
"I can hear you untll you bcgln to
talk and then 1 can't hear n word you
say."
I notice that "A. A. 7,." has been
ndvertlslng for a houso In the Mom
lng .Tournnl. Can thls bo Ztmmie
loqklng for aunrtors?
That preachment ngalnst profanlty
at tho Y. M. C. A. lnectlng ottght to
be lieard and hceded by a larger aa
dlence. We have laws agaln'st curslng
and swearlng whlch no ono ever
thinks of trylng to enforce. If the
job wero undertaken several Statc's
Attorneys wo'uld be kept busy and a
large number of respcctablo cltb.ens
would pay tho penalty of tho law.
To people not themselves accus
tomed to uslng loose language lts
freuenqt use by othcrs is offenslve,
while lts occasional use, when cir
cumstanccs seetn to wnrrant lt,
causcs them nnnoyance. ladies and
oven mlnlsters will condone and
even smile upon tho use of forceful
language, when ordlnary words do
not meet'the requlrments of the oc
caslon. But the too connnon uso of
such language glvcs offense evou to
those who occaslonally uso it them
selves. I know a man who ln jrdln
ary conversatlon hardly spcaks a
sentence wlthout uslng words that, if
they do not como wlthln the prohlbi
tlon of the Vermont statutes, are
generally regarded as "swear words.'
If remonstrated with he will say, and
with complete unconsciousness of
further offense, "Why, lt, I
wnsn't swearlng. Was I? Well, by
, excuse me, I dldn't mean to use
such language."
Engllsh ls admltted to be the best
language In the world to swear in,
and to lilm who doslres verbal rellef
for hls feelings nothlng will take the
place of the ctiss words. Though there
was a man who played golf on the
llnks of the Country Club who sald
"Assouan" every tlme he fozzled, or
made a mlscue or a foul tlp, or what
ever the golf term may be. When
asked what he meant by It he replled
that Assouan was the blggest dam he
knew of. .
I will not dilate on the immorallty
of gross profanlty, whlch may be
treated by the parsons, nor lts of
fense agalnst the laws, twhlch may
be treated by the Htate's Attorneys,
but I will say thls, and you will all
agree with me, that tho common and
frequent use of profane language is
a wasto of verbal force, an unneces
sary cheapening of the language, an
offense to most hearers, a groSs of
fense to dellcate and sensitive mlnd
ed people and n bad example to the
younger generatlon, more prcno to

upon a tlme with a dog (not a bull

alone ln tho house one Sunday. When
we returned from church the dog
ha-' made liavoc with our laundry

though wo had been fllled with buck
shot in the neck. Hls sharp teeth
had plerced every collar a dozen
