AN OLD-TINIE IDIONT,

Had Rather Finds a Doughty
Champion of Its Correctness.
Hartford Courant
A teacher in one of our Eastern
schools has prepared list of words and
phrases t. be summed by the youth of
the land who wish to grow up in the
fear of the laws of language. He has
got together lot of popular vulgar err
rOrs and SiovenlinesSeS and done good
service in printing them, but one of the
ldlomS he slips up on, as better men
have done before him, namely, the stu
dent is cautioned against using ''had
rather for would rather" and had
BETTER for would better"
This is all wrong. The idiOm | had
liefer is as old as Chaucer, and in the
sixteenth century or whereabouts had
rather was formed by analogy and has
held its place in the best usage, written
or spoken, ever since. 1t is piece of
silly modern peLantry and puriSm to
object to it. OF course, the argument
used against it is that in the sentence l
had rather 90, you are really saying i
had rather go than do something else,
and this is nonsense.
1t is true that it seems to lack analytic
meaning to the modern language-user
or nearer; but the answer is. that in
older days the meaning was there, be-
cause tIe verb have. which is now used
mostly as pale auxiliary with no more
or independent life than the verb be,
had then strong independent life and
far more vigorous Specification. Hence
the odiUm, once obviously right, has be-
come securely lodged among the uncon-
scIous speech processes of wielders of
English and is still right, though harder
to prove analytically. We are glad to
see. on turning TO the Century diction-
airy. that the correct view OF the case is
set forth and would rather is not counte-
nauceu at all,

scalpers Not Prosecuted.

Careful inquiry by the GLOBE IS rail-
road man has not yet brought to light
any action on the part of the railroads
against the st. Paul ticket scalpers for
noncompliance with the new law. All.
upon the surface at least, is serene.
One scalper stated on Monday that it
was his belief that the railroads had
carefully examined the law, and that
certain weak points in 1t had been dis
covered, which would afford all scalpers
easy luopholes for escape in case of
prosecution. Yesterday another scalper
expressed a similar opinion, supple
menting it with this statement:
"Here it is, the 9th of August and no
scalper has been arrested that L have
heard of. My impression is that each
of the railroad corporations hates to
start the ball to rolling; each is waiting
for the other to begin prosecutions.
There was much noise made about some
thing to drop OH or about Aug. 1, hut
we are still in the field and doing bust
ness just the same.''
