SLANG.
Words of Undisnified Origin That Havo
Become Necessary

Pilgrim: Slang words which belong
to the two last named classes are in
the attitude Of postulants seeking ad-
mission 10 the language. Many words,
such as mob "diction,' ignore"
alert which when they first began to
be used were regarded as slang words.
or at least as novelties, have been ad-
mitted to full membership In the order
Of words. None Of us would now call
fabulous" in the sense OF incredible"
modern slang phrase, but De Quincy
50 StigmatiZed it. Colerdge violently
denounces talented; and at the be-
ginning of the nineteenth century Lady
Holland declared "infuential' to be a
detestable word Many slang words
are still awaiting recognition and ad-
mission. Multitudes of them have
died, though for a while they had a
vigorous life. No one can tell whether
any given slang word will survive, for
there is no test but that of time for
these words. If the word supplies a
lack, it is Very likely to receive the APP
proval of the users of the language and
thereby become good English.
Though language is always ecOnom-
ical and refuses to load itself down
with affectatiOns or with unnecessary
words, it is always willing to admit TO
citizenship any new word if such q
want. Therefore, we should not be
concerned lest the vast multitude of
slang words current now corrupt our
mother tongue. Such words as are
vulgarisms will die Of their own weak
ness: but such words as answer the
demands of utility will be retained.
Dude and crank are valuab Bile words
and are serNiceable because each de-
notes something not signifed by any
other English word. The dude" of 1904

More Than 100000 Homeless Pcopio

Leslie's Weekly: The British gov

Of deficit in the imperial treasury

TO $35OOO,000 which it processes not
TO know how to meet except to make
another raise in taxes, which are al
ready ruinously high and burdensome.
How bad economic conditions are in
Merry England may be judged from
, such facts and figures as those given
by Jack London in his book on the
London poor The People of the
Abyss" wherein it is declared on in
disputable authority that 70 per cent.
Of the population of England are on
the verge of pauperism, while millions
are over the verge. By recent ir-
vestigation it was found that 1000
men. women and children IN a, single
district of London were homeless and
IN the face of the threatened treasury
deficit and the fostering squalor and
misery of its great cities, it never
seems to occur to British statesmen
and government financierss that it
might be possible to pare off a few
millions from the annual war budget.
Here. indeed, as i'll almost every other
nation, economy and retrenchment get
no hearing. II is, rather, all the other
Way-more warships must be had, no
matter if millions starve and the ma
ton seethes with industrial misery and
discomfort. Great Britain'S war budget

the same period is placed at s184445,-
900, or a total of over $500 100000 for
war purposes. To such folly and mad
ness is the world committed, with its
preparations for wars.

Were Surveying Country.

Some time ago it was annourc-
ed that a company of surveyors
were at work in the vicinity of
Kings Valley but nothing could
be learned of their plans. Itnow
develops that a large lumber
company has gone to the expense
of making a. survey from indie
pendence to the Siletz country,
for the purpose of developing the
immense lumber resources known
to exist along the way.
The timber in this district has
long been known to be of very
fine quality. Many timber claims
are owned bv residents in the
vallev. The survey required the
services of ID men and took three
months to complete it. If the
line is put in it will probably
run through Kings Valley to
Blodgett and make connections
with the c. & E. at that. place.
