THE Milwaukee Sentinel Is laborlng to
bring about a reform In pronunciation.
But it will find its labors frultless be-
cause OF the affectation of those who are
critical IN pronunciation. The normal
schools have sought within the last ten
years to restore to practice the agreeable
sounds of the italian "a" as heard In
father" when properly pronounced, and
the short sound of the italian "a both
of which are really musical if sounded
without affectation. But the exagger-
ated "cawnt" and '.awsk" which have re-
suited, have driven people, from the very
fear of pedantry, to the Hat and short
sounds of this letter. It is unfortunate
that pedantic affectation should thus
drive people to seek avoidance of ridicule
to acknowledged faulty pronunciation.
And then Webster needs modification.
Take the word "squalor" which pro-
nounced authoritatively requires the long
"a" But the short "a" gives sound
more IN harmony with the idea to be con-
veyed. No person who values the re-
spect of the community would conscious
ly say "squaylor" as Webster requires.
There are many words whose popular
pronunciation makes it impossible for q
sensitive person to pronounce as Web
ster requires. The lawyer who would
say ''mandamus" giving the "a" its long
sound and not the Italian, would be non
suited in circuit court. Latin express
ions have likewise fallen from their prls
tine purity when rolled under the tongue
of the learned advocate. Who for In
stance could recognize "cestui que trust
in the form "cesseti trust" in which 1t Il
heard in arguments to a court? Ever
the much..used "certiorari" appears lin ;
new dress when made part of an argu
ment in court.
Custom is crowding out elegance ant
| propriety. The person who in societ
does not say "onvelope" is looked upol
4 as country-bred and of course he vii
p hesitate at nothing which Will obviat
h this invidious distinction. This is tn
: age of slang and bad pronunciation an
n one may "as well be out of the world q
4 out of fashion"

THE United States is nation OF pol-
ticians and not of statesmen. La any
foreign complication the question OF votes
and not the dignity of the nation Is the
real matter in issue. If the recent dill
culty in Samoa had been with Eng gland

he pronouncing his sentence for open
| war" from dry goods boxes and through
the columns OF rhapsodically patriotic
papers. But we are wonderfully cautious
in expressing any adverse opinion OF Ger
| many. Wasn't Bismarck an important
factor in our late election? Were not
his pictures exhibited on every available
SPOT which did not bear the legend post
| no Bills?" Were not his remarks favor
| able to protection made to stare every
one in the face, printed IN German at
that, thus practically inviting people OF
that nationality to look to the Fatherland
for their opinions on American questions
| Can the republicans now change their
opinion of Bismarck? By no means;
they must stand by him and they will.
Germany is no nation to fool with. 1t
means business and the frothy patriots
will not be so quick in asking to be led
against the enemy as they would If 1t
we're nation disinclined to go to war.
Bismarck isn't whit afraid and would
as soon fight as not; the patriots know
this and are discreetly silent.

Mrs. KATE BUSHNELL has lately at.

Mrs. KATE BUSHNELL has lately at
tracted considerable attention because of
her disclosures of alleged brutality in
nothern dens. There is 10 more i'm
morality in Northern Wisconsin than in
any of the large cities under the strictest
police regulations. 1t is probable that
sin in the northern dives has less of the
tinsel which gives concealment and it IS
certain that decent girl lured to one of
these dens has less opportunity for es-
cape. 1t may safely be asserted that
most of the innocent ones" are jades old
in inlquity. But this is no excuse for the
effort to discredit Mrs. Bushnell by party
papers ard for party purposes. The
social evils which are the basis of her
complaints are ineradicable, and none
but quixotic people viii waste any effort
to remove them. They are the outcrop-
pings of inherent badness in society. just
as boils are an indication of bad blood.
But bad passions need not be made mani
fest in brutality. The virtue of one hon.
est girl is worth preserving even at the
cost of all the power the state can muster.
The question is not whether reflection is
cast upon any administration. 1t is
whether the state has the power and the
disposition to save girls anxious to lead
honest lives. The senile and grossly
egotistical Fred Horn should not be per-
mitted to act as spokesman for the con-
science of the state.

BoULANGER of France must enjoy poll
tics. He will soon be majority all by
himself in the chamber OF deputies.
Whenever any of his colleagues dies
Boul always runs for the vacant position
and always gets it. He is now four depu-
ties and keeps increasing the number.
The French people seem to like him and
he seems to like the Offices. He does not
resort to the plebiscite to secure dlcta-
torship but to the slower process OF be-
coming a majority all by himself. Ger
many has ceased to fear Boulanger, but
he may yet cause trouble for Frame If
not for Germany.

The farmers OF the northwest voted
for high taxes last fall. The senate bill
Is so framed that they will have their
wish. But isn't it little hard on the
rest of us to be compelled to pay these
taxes which we denounce as a wrong?
This is tax paying time, and all feel that
that government is best which imposes
the least burden upon the people. Good
Heavens, If the taxes imposed by TIE ma
tional government were direct what
music there would be in the air! Protec-
ton? There would not be shred of it
left. The Intelligent farmer" would
vote with a vim clearly indicating a de-
termination to shoot in the same direc-
ton If the vote would not pre- v etficac on :
in afforiing relief. What lesson 1t
would be to the vampires II we had Gbso-
lute free trade and the government
raised its revenues by direct taxation.

JERUsHA ANN, how the old soldiers did
fume and sweat when President Cleve-
land ordered the rags known as flags
sent south! But has any one heard of
an old soldier swearing vengeance be-
cause of the Kidding of the American
flag in Samoa by the Germans? 1t is the
easiest thing in the world to show fight
when there is no danger. But when a
nation like Germany which always means
business riddles the American flag with
bullets the heroes are silent.

THE meeting Of the State Press Asso-
citation at Madison last week was sur
prise to those who had not attended one
of these meetings for years and who ex-
pected to find the same prosy form OF
proceedings and the usual eulogistlc adj
dresses upon the dignity and power OF
the Press. The old fogies who advertise
that they will receive wood, chickens and
diseased liver for subscription seem: to
have lost their vocation and the local
press is now largely in the hands OF men
who have business capacity and who
realize they are engaged in legitimate
business. There seems no longer to be
a disposition to exc out living by fawn-
ing, hattering and system OF beggary
which was rapidly making the local
press a by word and reproach.
The discussions were pointed, business
like and had as their object the discovery
of the truth. Some years ago one could
not attend one of these meetings and not
fail to be impressed with the idea that
the local newspaper was made refuge
for people of mediocre ability who could
not make living in any other pursuit.
The meetings now will compare favora-
bly, with those Of any profession OF the
state.
What the Press Of this state needs is to
crowd out the worthless and sycophantc
newspapers. Newspapers have been estab-
lished in various places as the personal
organ of some aspiring politician and
these always lower the estimate placed
upon the local paper. The local paper
should be placed on business basis and
be edited with ability and care. Under
these conditions the guerilla paper VIII
