THE USE OF LOAN"
New-Tork. Feb. 4. 1904.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In the interest OF pure English I protest
against the use OF loan a verb in a bill proposed
by Assemblyman Remsen at Albany. Funk &
Wagnalrs dictionary says that ito loan" is %
an absurd statement. for almost all Americans
use Il instead OF Tend" when they are speak
ing fguratively. Then they speak English do
not wonder that the historian. e A. Freeman.
marked that Ito loan sounded strange to Eng
ush ears In England the word is sometimes en-
ployed by persons Of little breeding It has not
been used by any English or American author OF
any distinction. II Is vulgar and useless. Imas-
inc Shakespeare saying:
Neither a borrower a loaner be.
For loan oft loses both itself and friend
And borrowing duls the edge OF husbandry.
This abomnable word is on all works lent to
the Metropolitan Museum Of Art; 1t IS used in the
same sentence with lend by Mr.. Woodrow Wilson
in his history Vol D. and most Of our liberties
seem TO prefer loan to lend" but cannot con-
ceve Of any defence being offered for this in
fringement OF good manners. The corresponding
vulgarism 'loaner' is as common as the verb
which gave II rise. H.

CREDIT FOR OUR NEW NAVY.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Not desiring to detract from the honor 40
corded to W. c. Whitney while Secretary OF the
Navy nor from the ability displayed in that posi-
ton I do take exception TO the statement made BY
his Democratic friends that he the father OF
new navy" The Chicago. Boston and Atlanta
were under contract by the government with Roach
and the Dolphin was completed at the time Mr..
whitney assumed his Office. The Dolphin
fecfed by the Navy Department. the ground OF
structural weakness" and afterward accepted.
and. FIVE years ago had more miles Of sea
service with less expense for repairs than eny
other vessel in navy
The other boats were completed under govern
rneut supervision at the time few years ago
the Chicago was stripped nearly 20 her frame and
hull plates for repairs. The Democratic party IN
Congress prior to 81 were opposed to the rev
navy the Republicans then advocated, and to the
successful legislation of the latter at that time
due the beginning OF what now II a power.
