City Engineer (iCKvlrich is an en thusiast iijhjii good government and for havimi n citv that will be n j model. A general complaint has I been made by many of the good 1 women of this citv reuarding the profane and filthy language UM:d bv "men" while ukii the public thorofares ot the city language wholly uncalled for and particularly obnoxious to men and women irood breeding. There Is an unenforced law against, and a jenalty prescribes for, such language. It is a nationa law but is so seldom brought to light that few know of it. Th following suggestion by Mr. Oocx rich is a very pertinent one uiu a few fines against those wlio are so free with profanity and mistiness in public places might lessen the practice. "There should be an ordinance which is quite Imperative, that pro faulty in public places snail lie misdemeanor punished with a fine or imprisonment, or both; an offence to be fined five dollars (55) or liv davs in tail . or both: repeated to nc fined not more than twenty-fiv dollars ($25) or twenty-five days in jail, or both. "There will be from now on nittc public work. Said public wor attracts certain characters who, by their insolence and profanity, are public nuisance ami said characters should be suppressed summarily witli tlie jKiwer bestowed on the marshal to arrest and detain them in the jail, subject to the will of the recorder.' 1 Cong Bickner Brothers Department Store All (ioods Sold ai Portland Prices!
