Swearing and Thinking When Mr. Wilson showed a slight tendency to profanity by saying he'd “be damned” if he announced his cabinet appointments before he was ready, it was received calmly by the press and public. William Marion Reedy of the St. Louis Mirror is posi- tively enthusiastic over the occurrence, believing it to be significant of great promise. Here is a part of Mr. Reedy’s valiant Jaudation : “The psychologists tell us that folks swear for no other reason than that they have hiatuses in their thought and that the cuss-words are pauses inconsiderable yet sufficient to poise thought upon. In a world a-wash in a welter of words, in a world that expects everybody of any note to talk interminably, it is a sublime thing that a man like Wil- son will pause in his talking long enough to think while he is, as it were, swearing to catch ‘his intel- Jectual breath. There's nothing that has been more needed in our latter day statesmen than a little of this thinking conjoined with a little of this ‘I'll be damned" spirit. Most of them have been so all-fired afraid they’d be damned by some clement utterly unempowered to damn them. yrmg) Reduce or Increase Your ‘Weight Devote but fifteen minutes daily to my system and you can weigh what Nature intended.
