I wish to express to you my deep appreciation
of your courage in helping along thru your
influential paper reform which is sorely needed.
There is absolutely no reason why the spelling OF
the English language should be centuries behind
its spoken form. Our language is the most irreg-
ular and lawless in its spelling of any modern
language that is widely used by western ma
ticns. It is only prejudice which stands in the
way Of reform. The newspaper, which are read
very much more generally than books, must be
the chief agents In bringing about this reform,
and cannot but express admiration for the
paper which has the courage to lead. 1t Is also
characteristic that this leadership arises IN the
west, where prejudices are not quite SO firmly
fixed as they are in the east. ought to say,
however. that one Of the newspapers Of my own
