A bill has been introduced in Con-
gress to settle the difficulties growing
out OF the use of the public lands by
the big cattle harons. This measure
limits the herd 10 be kept on any one
tract to six hundred head of cattle and
allows a ma xinIum of thirty acres to
each animal. This will limit the size
OF each tract to about eighteen thous-
and acres. The secretary of the inte-
rior is clothed with authority to fix the
annual rental of these grazing lands,
which must not be less than one cent
an acre or more than six cents. But
homesteaders will be allowed to file
upon the leased lands, and will in all
cases be given priority Of right over
the cattlemen. 1t is to be hoped that
this measure may prove a satisfactory
settlement of this vexed question
Heretofore the cattle barons have
acted as if the lands in question
were theirs in fee simple.

lauahed Out Of Court.

Consider for example the amusing
and futile attempts of the colleges to
introduce the Roman pronunciation OF
Latin. Harvard College teaches the
Roman pronunciation for four years
and the law school for three. Every
spring a new edition Of young lawyers
is issued, going forth to practice.
They enter upon the apprenticeship
for the law is taught by apostolic sue
cession-and the old lawyers not only
go on following the precedent Of Eng
lish pronunciation, but laugh ha-ha at
the youngsters. These are speedily
tanned of their rampant learning and
YOU can't find Harvard man three
years out of college who isn't speaking
English latin as 1t is uttered by his
betters. The change can never take
place. The youth are almost afraid OF
the mace. 1t is contempt OF court
Frank w. Noxon in Boston Tran
script.
Inasmuch as it is impossible for US
to know how English itself was pro-
nounced in the time of Chaucer. it is
folly to imagine that we can thread our
way back through the phonetic laby-
inth of centuries. and tell how the an
lent Romans pronounced Latin.
The great value of the study of Latin
to all save those who are preparing
themselves to teach 1t, is found in the
tent to which it has entered into the
Instruction of our own language.
Tie English pronunciation enables us
readily to recognize such derivitives,
and to trace them back to their sources.
For instance the word circumjacent
will at once suggest the root words
circum and jaceo. to any one who has
used the English pronunciation in the
study of Latin. but it would be a far
cry from circumjacent to Kirkoom
vacant which we believe would be the
pronunciation by the Professor-made
Roman plan.
The same good horse-sense that is
laughing this pronunciation out of the
practice of the legal profession, will
probably in the end laugh it out of use
completely. 1t has no excuse for living.
1t is pedan,ic. impotent, and impracti-
cal.
