It Is to be hoped that the recent In
cident at Oyster Bay, in which a
bicyclist was taken to tusk for using
profanity bemuse his way was mo
mentarily blocked by the carriage of
President U«x>sevelt on tin* way to
church, will have th»> effect o f lessening
the prevalence o f the disgusting and
utterly us«>l»*ss habit o f using profane
and vulgar language in public places.

offending bicyclist known o f the prox

would have been more discreet, but
that made no difference In the <lt*gr»*e
