New York Times Saturday Review.
These are days when believers In
the purity ard precision OF diction
should protest by precept and example
against the Wrestling OF words from
their meanings. The English language,
as every student of it knows, Is OK.
ceptionslly rich 10 synonyms and In
words suited to the expression of vari
GUS shades of meaning. There are very
few thoughts for which the exact
word cannot be found in our language
There IL no necessity for making words
do duty for others simply because
some persons are not acquainted with
the others and some are too indolent to
seek for them. The fight against the
loosepess practioed by these persons
must be made because there are many
who are ready and eager to argue that
usage justifies al most anything In Ian
guage.
Now the improper usage of words
may generally, we regret to say, be
traced to newspapers. In the haste Of
getting but daily paper many niceties
largest number of readers OF English
are the readers of newspapers, loose
ness in the employment Of words Ia
easily spread. II does not take long
for the vast body of newspaper readers
to establish wide usage OF words In
incorrect enses, and this Is the usage
which is almost invariably defended
by those to whom usage Is q law OF
style.
just at present the word "develop''
Is being worked to death In doing duty
for other words which are by no means
unfamiliar. 1.-The inquiry did not de.
velop any new facts'' Is one Of the com.
mon explanations Of the time. IT would
be remarkable of an inquiry could do
such a thing. 1t might disclose or
reveal or bring to light or discover new
| facts, but it would not be in its power
| to develop than. The excellent word
disclose" has by this misuse Of ''de-
velopn been turned out of doors, while
the use of discover" In its primary
meaning has almost entirely ceased.
| Poor old ''transpire' has again come
to the front as meaning ''ooour" or
"talSeplace, which 1t has no business
to mean at all. A thing, as all scholars
know, trsnspires when IL becomes
known, when it leaks out. Many things
happen without Transporting. Many
things which have occurred In the
neighboring City of Peterson, for ex
ample, are now transpiring. One who
wishes to say that thing took place
might almost IS we'll say tbst il per
spired' as to say that 1t "tFapspired. y
These are two examples al that loose
ness In diotion which threatens to give
the supposed sanotlty of usage to things
radically wrong. 1t is open to stioklert
for accuracy In speech to question tbs
authority of usage Of this sort, Levers
Of this splendid English to1gue, which
is our heritage, should oppose suct
treatment VI ii. Invaluable work Ii
this direotioa might be done by tbs
Intelligent correspondents of the Satur
day Review.

TIE puRsUfT OF HAPPINEss.

One of the latest writings of the late
Charles Dudley Warner was an essay
for the Century, entitled 1.-The Pursuit
of Happiness.
Perhaps the most curious and in
teresting phrase ever put into public
document Is "the pursuit of happi-
ness.'' 1t ia declared to be an In
alienable right. 1t cannot be sold. 1t
cannot be given away. 1t is doubtful
II 1t could be left by will.
The right of every man to be six feet
high and Of every woman to be five
feet four was regarded as self-eyident,
until women asserted their uudoubted
right to be six feet high also. when
some confusion was introduced into
this Interpretation of this rhetorical
fragment of the eighteenth century.
But the inalienable right to the pur-
suit of happiness has never been ques-
toned since it was proclaimed as new
gospel for the New World. The Ameri-
can people accepted it with enthusiasm
as il it had been the discovery of a
gold prospector, and started out in the
pursuit rs If the devil were after them.
If the proclamation had been that
happiness is a common right Of the
race, alienable or otherwise, that all
men are or may be happy. history and
tradition might have interfered to raise
q doubt whether sven the new form OF
government could SO change the ethical
condition. But the right to make a
pursuit of happiness, given in a fnnda
mental bill OF rights had quite diff.
ierent aspect. Men had teen engaged
ip many pursuits. most OF them, disas
trous, some of them highly commend
able. A sect in Galiee had set up the
pursuit Of righteousness as the only
or the highest object Of mans immortal
powers. TIE rewards Of it, however,
were not always immediate. Here was
a political sanction Of q pursuit thai
everybody acknowledged to be of good
thing.
