Editors Chicago Tribune:
l. In late number Of your journal yop pub.
lish the plan Of MrtsIedill Zone Of your body,
to simplify and improve the spelling Of onr
language. A. he did. I long Ego saw the i'm
per1ections Of our orthogsaphy. also came
10 The conclusion that the necessafy altera.
tious TO perfect the language would not take
place In my day, and abandoned the study, III
despair. There arc several reasons for this.
In the first place, people In this utl1itariau
age cannot be brought to reflect on the SUBJ
ject. To those who have reflected upon
1t, nothing is palmer than that sdoublc
you" Is not simple sound, and consequently
letter should not be named "double ron, "
and that "aiteh" Is not = simple sound, and
thas consequently no letter should be named
"altch y but should. you assert to public
audience that fnasmuch as the former is gen
orally used TO represent the simple sound
"Ee," 1t should be called "wc," and as the
latter Is generally made TO represent the
simple sound the" 1t should be called "he, !"
they would laugh IN your face. Nor nm I
sure that all people arc capable of appyecia-
ting and compIrhending this subject. Il
seems 10 me this subject Is inherently plain,
aud that ali persons, with correct alphabet.
