The Foreign Tongue It is jnleiGKtin!-. to note that the United States i. not ,1110 only land that lias difficulties from clash of tongues. J ii n ftenehil way, of course, everyone knows that Europe ,ii a modern Bubel. Quite fenerallyl however, we think jof old continental boundary lines as demurking distinct j peoples, of kindred blood, tongues and pedigree. When ,we pause, we realize that such a view is utterly fallacious. ' It takes such a news cable as has just come from France to emphasize that the United Stntes does not have a monopoly on the world's embarrassing situations grow ing out of the confusion of tongues. We may have thought " that when we send u man to the state legislature who can verily not speak the English language, or n representative to Washington who can make himself understood with dif ficulty, we have reached the fringe of the ridiculous. Hut . Trance has bettered our best record, having elected a dejv I'ty who speaks no French, only German. . Of coui'se the now deputy comes from Alsace, that disputed province of many conflicts, that strange frontier . iif the races that has sent so many fine citizens to the '.United Slates. 'crimps the new deputy will be greeted lii 'liio chamber as a living example of the" long years of Hippression of everything I-Yench at the hands of the (.(! inans. Perhaps he knows a little more about the French tongue than lie is given credit for by the alert correspon dents. Judgment may well be suspended until it is recorded whether he voles "ja, ja," "or .".mi, oui" when The vol.; ' i'l 'polled ' "' "4 .oMiut' 'mmt:wfttam.aHi There urc no sort rpoln on Jefi from, nr Klein, who ran a neck and nock rur-p wib Curl Helm of Im finmde for Hip rcpohllc:in noinliifiMoii In the nriioo of flitt trlct mioritcy, IohIiht the content to Mr. Helm li- three vote, nccord Intr lo I lip official ronnt.

The i'edeiiitinn met the other day, dtdved into other people's iiusine.ss in true Main street manner, and selected the Imthhifr frirl as its victim for the annual resolution. The bathinjy girls' xevue, which has become a part n( the program of many seaside resorts in recent years, was viewed by the pi-oboscidiferoua "resoluters" as "detrimental to the morality and modesty of our young women." - Attn, hens! The young hussies must be 1;ept within the proprieties Mid more than a bathing suit. That the female form was never intended to be encased in the latter garment seems to lie the opinion of the Jersey scrooges. As applicable to the framers of the aforementioned resolution, this view point is eminently correct. (Jod forbid that we shall ever - see one of them in a bathing suit. The trouble with scrooges is that they do not confine their scrooging to themselves. ho slated were only two or hun dred) . of those, .desecrated by ihuiiffhllPHA persons or tliosnwhoj craved publicity. , '' I one Hbxn curried Ihn.nuiucN nf I.. !
