REFERRING to the absurd defense that
the Dover Sentinel makes for the use of
the phrase "old veterans, and to care
less methods of slipshod writer's who
admit all sorts of verbal tramps into
their writings a correspondent says:
The literary class formerly was small
and select, nowadays everybody writes
and prints We mistake slipshod talk
for ease aud the English language is los
ing its vigor and idomatic form under
the influence of daily scribblers.
We hope not; we know not, There
are many scribblers, too many perhaps
but the English language is all right
Fortunately. the men who do not know
the absurdity of the phrase "old veter
ans, and are unwilling to learn are not
the keepers of the English language
They are not even acquainted with it. The
correspondent, who writes to the EVEN
ING JOURNAL, from Dover as Good
English, is a proof that good English is
still abroad that the noble art Of speak
ing and writing It clearly and correctly,
is not lost, even in Dover There is
something else encouraging, too
While that editor contends that ''old
veteran is correct, even to the point
of making himself ridiculous, and Of
showing that he is not acquainted with
the Latin language, from which the
word came; though he has been using
foreign phrases in tariffladen articles,
be will not dare to put the phrase 'old
veterans in large head line type again.
His attention, and that Of many of the
old soldiers, themselves, who did not
know any better, has been directed TO
the mistake They have been taught by
the EVENING JOURNAL that the phrase
"old veteran" is Pathological; that it is
correct to say old soldiers or veterans.
That is something gained for good
English, and our friend and co.worker,
Good English" of Dover, must not
forget that. Meantime, if he continues
to read the Dover Sentinel he will per-
eeive an important change in the style
Of writing. II will show more sense
and, consequently, less bad English.

serse about the necessity of tariff on
tin plate a bounty on sugar,a protective
dutylon hens eggs and tax on wool
He thinks these commodities represent
industries which would be benefited by
an additional cost specified by Congress-
to the real cost Of their manufacture
II he were put on the witness stand he
would rattle away In vast and compre.
hensive ignorance of every one of these
articles their prices, cost Of production,
amount Of wages and profit, as he has
ratified in justification Of pref1ing the
fine English word "old" to the Latin word
vetus, which means old, when he is try
ing to refer to old soldiers
The tariff worsbipping editors, as a
class, do not know any more about pro.
tectionlsm than the "old veteran" editor
knows about the use Of words They
are not expected to know the details Of
thousands Of industries, so intimately as
to be able to write glibly about wages,
costs, profits here and abroad, and de-
termine whether any particular in
dustry needs the help of the people
whether or not it is a pauper industry.
And yet, in the face of that stupendous
and appalling task, just such confident
and careless writer's, as this "old
veteran" writer. who did not take the
trouble to reassure himself by consult
ing a dictionary after his attention was
directed TO the error, have been jabbing
at us with the unspeakable nonsense Of
"a tariff for protection.
The tin industry aud the hens egg in
dustry are just as much in need of the
200 per cent and the o cents per dozen
duties, as the Latin word, veteran, is
in need of the English word old before it.
The editor who knows nothing about
Latin or nothing about the prices, wages,
costs of the Industries, is equally ineapa
BILE Of teaching us about either
Now we do not mean to be harsh or
personally offensive TO this particular
editor. We have no reason, whatever
for any personal, or professional, or par
tisan discourtesy or animosity toward
him. Quite the contrary, we feel kindly
toward him, because at the worst, he Is
simply a type, OF a class, who has been
worshipping a fetich. Like the
Athenians, of old, he worshipped ian
unknown god"-ignorantly.
In this we do not mean that the pro.
lection worshippers are ignorant in all
things. The Athenians were the most
learned and cultivated men of their day,
but Paul found them in precisely the
same state of mind about some incom-
prehensible power in an ian unknown
god" that the protectionlsts have been in
for few years about tin plate and hens
eggs.
1t is rare that we can catch one Of
these fellows in position to expose him
hence. we concluded to hold this "old
veteran advocate while we shook a little
plain English before his eyes Without
any personal disrespect to him, we say to
this little Commonwealth: "There he
is; there is the editor who has beer
advocating a tariff on tin plate and hens
eggs. He would not even take the
trouble to determine whether he was
writing good English.
He is an example of carelessness o.
cussedness.

Men who are most ignorant of the

The world hates new idea It has
never failed to resent one, either in
science or religion. 1t has frequently

The strength of tradition is inest-

brave enough to combat both, no matter
how unequal and unfair the fight.
