knights Templars?
Dr. OF THE EVENING STAR:

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
The statement concerning the proper title Of
the Order of the Temple, written for your
issue Of the sth instant called forth two replies
On the 10th Let me say In answer to the first
signed "A Templar Linguist," that gave my
name and position in the order simply to show
that was no outside meddler and to bear the
responsibility Of my statement No single
'.Tenplar Linguiss, any more than an indiyid-
Qal prelate, can determine upon she rhetorical
rectitude Of the term Knights templar." gave
one expert authority by name-Dr. Mackey-
and referred TO all the encyclopedias and die
toparies that have been written as on nv side
will give to any one who desires 10 read many
authorities by name OF the highest reputation,
not only for Masonic lore but also for general
literary culture, from the year l7O7 to the pres
ent time, by whom the term Knights Tempiars
u the only one employed.
To my second critic 1 answer, hold that
"Templar is mover an adjective" because sew
eral persons, including myself have never, in
all our reading, found il used as an adjective
except once by Coleridge and Of late years in
the constitution and reports Of our Grand en-
campment. I would like to this body re-
turn to the historical and classical usage. To
quote one Of my authorities, IF then she word
Templar IL q noun, We have in the combina-
ton Knights Templsr, two nouns referring to
the same persons, one of which is plural and
the other singular The well-known rule of
opposition requires nouns under these circum-
stances to agree in number and case IL we
should even admit Templar to be an adjective
the term Knights Templar would still be con-
trary to the germs Of our language, which with
rare exceptions places the adjective before the
houn il qualities. The usage in reference to
pther orders IL also against this practice. We
have Knights Hospitallers, Knights command
rs &C."

own composition. wrote il in TIE SrAR
