the saying is good one in itself.
Traditions are useful only when they

But Lord Rosebery's s saying is chiefly

ism which expresses n three words

The fine oratorical English in which
our grandfathers delighted seems in
suferably stilted to us Of this genera.
tion. We demand plain English, and
the man who wishes to reach the
largest number of people win use the
plainest of plain English.
The newspapers, which have . hand
in nearly everything, have done this.
They have shown the advantage Of
speaking in ineligible language.
They are condemned by college profes-
sors for using colloquialisms, vulgar.

which Lord Rosebery enforces his
meaning. But what the newspaper
tries to do il make itself Ineligible to

often fine English is effective, but
oftener still colloquislism will ring
the bell where the English Of Addison
would not strike the outer rim Of tar.

The orators are finding this out and
conforming to It. Something is lost

UNEXPECTED GOOD NEWS
$4,000 For the Lock and

1t is always darkest just before

Just when almost everybody had
quit hoping for the necessary in
crease of $4,000 to the lock and

came that the Senate Committee
had added the amount to the item
OF $4,000 in the House bill. Two
days later the Senate passed the
river and harbOr bill. II must now

IL the increase Is not cut oil there,
IL will become u law. With proper
diligence on the part of our Repre-
sentatives there will BIO but little
danger Of the item being cut OF.
II is probable that the river and
harbOr bill will becomes law with

becomes available 1t once, but at
least ten days further time is re-

quarters TO go TO work. No time

getting a good force Of men al work.
The Washington correspondent
OF the Louisville Times credits the
increase to the extraordinary ef-
forts Of Hon. r. IL. Paynter, who
carried his fight into the Senate
Committee. II is a great victory
for the reason that $4,000 is just
$4,000 more than the engineers
recommended, and the rule Of the
Congressional Committee was t.
cut the amounts recommended by
the engineers two-thirds. Under
thisrule we were entitled TO only
$lS,bb6. III Is greatly 10 MIR. fayn'
tors credit TO see him laboring jusI
as earnestly as possible 50 near the

Representatives relax their effort:
