Language and the Telephone.
The Need of Clear and Correct Speech
for Common Use

Some one has made the discovery
that French Is more easily understood
than English when spoken over the
telephone The reason of this is said
to be the distribution of the accent.
In French each syllable is pronounced
with certain emphasis, as in ''uni-
versite." In English all but two syl-
tables of university" are slurred. 1t
Is suggested that those who are trying
te secure the adoption of a universal
language should see to it that their
cunningly devised speech is suitable
for telephone use.
There is no prospect that there will
ever be a universal language, unless
ii is English, which seems to be gain
ing currency in all the countries of
the earth; but this curious discovery
suggests a possible improvement il.
English. There is much room for inn
provement in the way in which our
language is spoken and written. 1t Is
true that by the rules of English pro
nunciation the accent is placed
strongly ON certain syllables, and
others are slmred, but they need moi
be slurred nearly as much as they are
in common speech. Only one way of
correcting the slipshod inaccuraey OF
common pronunciation Is practicable,
end that way is through the common
schools II school boards would pay
especial attention TO securing teachers
with clear, well-modulated voices. and
correct. though not pedantic. pronun-
citation, the next generation of Amer
leans might outlive the reproach of
not knowing how to speak their
mother tongue. But. unfortunately.
some of the members of our school
boards do not themselves know what
clear. well-modulated voice is. It Is
complicated problem.

A Billboard Nuisance.
The Story of a Temperance Woman and
a Beer Sign.

A member of the Woman's Chris
tan Temperance Union was disturbed
lately over the presence of a huge
beer sign next her home. Her friends
Jokingly accused her of running a
beer garden, and in much woe she APP
piled to the Commissioners TO have
the sign removed.
There seems to be a general misap-
prehension of the conditions under
which such signs can be erected. The
permit for this kind of advertising Is
granted only after permission is pro-
cured from a majority of the resi-
dents on both sides of the street In the
block where the sign is to be put; and
the revocation of the permit is subject
to precisely the same conditions.
1t follows, therefore, that if the
people of any part of the city are I'M
willing to have huge billboards in
their neighborhood, they can protect
themselves The presence of these
disfigurements can do them no good
and it offends the sight of people who
pass along the streets. The thing
which IS needed is an enlightened pub
lie sentiment which will lead residents
to refuse permission for the erection
of the boards in the first place, and
strive for their removal where they
have been put up.
Here and there, when advertise
ments offensive to the residents idea
of propriety have been pasted on
these boards, a fuss has been made
about it; but a fuss ought to be made
about boards with hideous pictures
and staring letters on them. 1t is not
necessary for the children of our land
to be familiar from infancy with the
merits of complexion soap and patent
medicines, and they are about the only
persons likely to read the advertise
ments.

strength of his descent from Morgan
Vane. the second great grandson Of tnat

remembered, Oliver Cromwell pubIicl'

claim was contested by Captain Fo-

For the present Lord Barnard's father
was born only three months after he

Vandalism Prevented.
Mont Blanc Saved From the Dissertation
of Advertising Agents.

The latest proposed ascent of Mont
Blanc will not take place, owing to
the feeling of the authorities about
such things. Some gay-hearted Ger
man students wished to ascend the
mountain, but had not the money for
The expedition. They conceived the
brilliant idea of asking soap maker
to give them the money. with the
understanding that they would put
piaeards of his soap in every available
place. The soapmal1er joyfully as.
scented, but when the authorities Of
the neighborhood got wind of the af-
fair they objected. Even the smell
OF perfumed soap, they thought.
would be a pollution to the virgin
solitudes Of the monarch of noun
tains. Therefore the students and
the soapmaker are sad, and there Is
JOY in the heart of every mountain
lover who has heard Of the affair.
In this day of vandalism and com
mercialism and other objectionable
''isms," such uncompromising adhei-
enee to common decency is refreshing.
II seems as if even the most hard
ened advertising agent would fnd
something, somewhere, which would
appeal to him as worthy Of preserva-
ton from plaeards; but thus far
nothing seems to be sacred. If a
similar plan had been preached in
America, it might have succeeded,
aud 1t might not; the stroeious dis
figurement Of the Palisades of the
Hudson, and Of many beautiful
mountain views, is proof enough that
there is not as much respect for beau
y in this country as there ought TO be.

Scott Won't Help.

Representative Scott. OF Kansas has
declined to so 70 Ohio and assist his
Republican brethren in the Buckave
State to elect their governor and legis-
lative ticket. The reason Tor Mr.. scott,s
refusal to make speeches in the state
seems TO be based upon the fact that his
dignity was insulted by the character
Of the invitation extended 10 him. He
explains that It was executed upon a
mimeograph. Indicating that perhaps
hundreds Of others had received a SINH
lar invitation. and that Chairman Dick
did not even take the trouble 70 sign his
name to IT, Instead he used a rubber
stamp. and the probabilities are that the
colonel never saw the particular letter
which was sent to sfr. Scott. Doubtless
it was mailed by some clerk in his Of
fee. However. the Sunflower states
man is offended. and will have nothing
TO do with the Ohio campaign. II they
want him they viii have 70 get out
steel engraved invitation and have il
countersigned by the chairman Of the
State committee and doubtless By Sena-
tor Hanna They are such sticklsrs for
form out IN Kansas that a circular in
vitation Is spurned with disgust. II
Colonel Dicks campaign fails. he will
probably realize the cause OF IT in the
lack OF support on the part Of Mr. Scott.

Homes for Small Incomes.

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
In the course Of walks in various sections q

absence Of flats for people in moderate circum-
stances. This seems somewhat remarkable

almost invariably insure the best financial re-

II not now. a strong partisan Of Sena-

many weIl-informed persons who declare
that Cleveland is the only man in he
party who is able to defeat Roosevelt
The fact that such a partisan as ex-
Governor Evans admits that there is
Cleveland sentiment anywhere in The
