The most prominent "class In spell
ing in the United States Is the Board
Of Geographic Names. 1t consists Of
ten experts. selected from the various
departments and scientific bureaus in
Washington, who meet monthly for
the purpose Of deciding how disputed
geographic names should be spelled.
Their decision is adopted by the gov
eminent for all its publications, by the
textbook writer's also; and the news
paper editors usually accept their con.
illusions. Upon the organization Of
this board in 1890. it adopted certain
general principles. These are some
times carried out by postoftice clerks so
mechanically as to bring upon the
board criticism 1t does not deserve.
For example, the board decided that
wherever 1t could be judiciously done.
names Of two words, such as Middle
Branch. should be written as one word
-Middlebranch. This rule, which was
wise when used with good judgment
became absurd when, in interpreting
II, a postal officer decided that West
Palm Beach should be spelled West
palmbeach. A compromise has been
made, and West Palmbeach adopted
instead. Other decisions Of the board
are that the final III in such a word
as Pittsburgh should be dropped. Also
the ugh" in such a word as Marlbor.
ough, and the possessive form wher
ever practicable. The theory OF the
Loard Is to secure uniformity and sim
plicity. not to reform the language.

The Boston Globe gives vivid ac-
count of New England farms going to
ruin. especially in Maine. The aban'
doned farm story has been familiar fof
years to readers Of New England pa.
pers, but the Globes description shows
the tragical side Of the struggle for eX-
istence that is going on in many New
England State. In Maine many of the
farms are now practically worthless
and never were valuable except for
the timber that once grew upon them
But the lumber industry Of the Pine
Tree state is rapidly passing away. the
farms have been exhausted. and their
OWNERS, in many cases old and poor.
are rapidly drifting to the poorhouse.
In some of the towns" the policy OF
taking over farms in return for a
guarantee to keep perhaps man and
his wife in board and clothes the re-
mainder Of their days has been fol
lowed, but even this inexpensive way
Of acquiring land Is too costly for the
towns, and 1t Is being discontinued.
These abandoned farms are then con-
verted into plantations and the towns
unable to support the farm owners
send them back to the farms to make
a living for themselves free from taxa
lion. Even this Is frequently hard to
do, 50 utterly worn out Is the soil.

A proper, legitimate and healthy IN

A proper, legitimate and healthy in
,terest in politics Is one thing; COM
lplete absorption by politics OF all other
questions Is another. One Is to be en-
tcouraged. the other severely frowned
upon. There can be no doubt that "too
much politics" and too many politicians
are a serious handicap. Government is
not an end, but means. 1t Is employ
ed by the people for their conveniences;
1T is not meant they are to become the
servant to government and to those
who aspire to govern.

From the published reports OF his DO
!ngs the young man known as the Earl
OF Yarmouth does not deserve the III
uatured criticisms that are being d.
rected against him. His lordship Is
poor. which Is not at all to his discredit
and he seeks to make an honest living,
which Is distinctly to his credit. 1t Is
evident that he is far from being fool
for he has driven hard bargain with
the theatrical manager who has EN-
ployed him. Nor can he be blamed fol-
utilizing his title as an asset, seeing
that 1t is about the only thing Of value
that he possesses. We may suggest
moreover. that the young man might
very easily have turned his patent &c
nobility to a more profitable use had
he chosen to sacrifice his independence
by becoming the husband of some
American young woman whose papa
was willing to buy her a title as he
would buy her a pair Of diamond ear
rings. All things considered. there
fore, the Earl of Yarmouth strikes US
as a rather estimable young man.

but into the pockets Of quay and other
similar spirits.
