LINGUISTIC
People Who Will Not Stop to Think or
the Exact Word Needed.

H. w. Horwill in the Critic: Tho
laziness of all la2iness Is the practice
of coming unnecessary new words. It
might have been supposed that when
there is already In existence a word
which exactly denote the Idea to be
expressed. it would be easier to fall
back upon this word than to invent an
other. In fact, however, it often re-
quires less effort to construct a lin
guisttc monstros.ty than to find the
term that has been consecrated by
good Usage. Take, for instance, such
words as "extinyuishment," "reveal-
ment," "withdrawment." "d,velop-
ment," "denotement'' and "ssartle-
ment." 1t is not difficult to trace the
mental process. The word "extinguish''
was in the speakers mind. He wanted
a noun. and to stick "ment" on to the
than the search for extinction" Occa-
s~ionally the quick change is from the
noun to the verb. When a man says
ITO administrate." we may be sure that
he first thought Of administration"
and that he was then in too great a
such pairs as celebrate" and "celebra-
ton would mislead him. If one were
making q collection Of linguistic curios
one might add to 1t such exhibits as

thy" and "bishoply.' In the mind Of
the offender there seems almost to be
lurking a kind of predatory false anal
ogy which grabs at his expressions and
dlstorts them before he can help him.
self.
Is it too late to purify our speech
from these 1nischievous tendencies, or
must we be content to Sc a great Ian
guage turned into shoddy? Certainly
the effectiveness of English as an or
gan of thought is weakened by the
careless use of its vocabulary. The
creation Of redundant words really
adds nothing to the of a
tongue, and the ~overworking of some
words, combined with the underworld
ing Of others, means actual poverish-
ment. Only a pedant would object to
the gradual expansion Of the dictionary
by means of the adoption Of new idi-
oms and terms. When our ancient
metaphors have lost their edge, we
may be pardoned If we urn sNen to
colloquiallsms for pointed expressions
to take their place. But there is no
progress through confusion.

kins, who also handles trucks and mer-
chandise, and came to grief last night.
He offered Jenkins the hospitality Of
his home when the latter needed sleep
to counteract the effect Of intoxicating
liquors, and was rewarded for his open
heartedness by finding that an attempt
was being made to rob him. The melee
that followed savors of melodrama. A
baseball bat and knife were used, the
participants jumped through windows,
one in pursuit Of the other. and the
police ended a chase that stretched
over several blocks.
Suffers and Jenkins spent the day in
each others company and by nightfall
had imbibed much liquor. Neither
was in condition to attend thea
ter, so Suffers suggested that Jenkins
accompany him to his home and sleep
off the jag" The pair boarded a
car and were soon at 1929 Clay street,
where Suffers lives. Little time was
lost in preparing for the rest and after

bed, side by side, and deep in slumber.
Later something awakened Suffers.
He was conscious of the presence of
hand In his trousers pocket, in which
500 that had survived the spree had
been placed. AS he started up to a
sitting position Jenkins seized him by
the throat and attempted to strangle
him.
The struggle waged fiercely until
Suffers finally broke loose from the grip
of the would-be thief and looked about
for a weapon with which to protect
himself. A baseball bat stood In one
corner Of the room and with this he
started an assault. Jenkins saw trouble
ahead and beat a retreat. The en-
ragged Suffers gave chase, at the same
time drawing a clasp knife, and with
these two implements of war overlook
his man just as he was leaping through
window in the rear Of the premises.
Jenkins took sash and everything with
him and as he was disappearing over
the sill Suffers stuck the knife into his
back, inflicting a Slight wound.
Suffers continued his chase. Out of
an alley, with Jenkins in the lead, he
ran and at the top of his voice shouted

A young teamster, aged 21 years,
named Patrick Hayes, residing at
Treat and Precita avenues. employed
by George Ryan, who keeps a lumber
yard at Alabama and Montcalm strets,
was killed yesterday at the railroad
crossing on Twenty-first and Harrison

back to assist in the unloading of a
car of lumber and in his attempt to
cross the railroad track was caught by
an outbound passenger train. The

and man clear off the track, killing
the horse instantly. Hayes was re-
moved to the City and County Hos

fractured skull. AS soon as the mans
death was communicated to Captain

Engieer Wilson on the charge of man
slaughter. The engineer was booked

G. w. MONTEITH
SUCCUMBS TO
AN OPERATION

Death came yesterday to George w.
Monteith at ST Josephs Home and
Hospital from the shock Of an opera
tion for appendicitis performed week
ago. He was a well-known lawyer and
was prominently idetifed with the la
Dor cause. He was 42 years old and
left a wife and two children.
Monteith first came into general
prominence in 1894 as one of the coun-
sci for the Pullman railroad strikers
who ditched a train near Sacramento,
killing Engineer Clarke and four United
States soldiers who were guarding the
train. He afterward took an active
part in assisting the Pacific Coast Sea-
mems Union in carrying on their strike.
Deceased was born in Jackson, Mich.
His father, John Monteith, a minister
of the gospel, migrated to Missouri,
where he abandoned the ministry and
took a leading part in public school
affairs in that State. Young Monteith
took UP newspaper work in st. Louis
and afterward was admitted to the
bar there. In 1885 he came to Riverside,
Cal, where he filled the office Of City
Attorney and Assistant District Attor-
ney. Here he became an active legal
opponent Of the Southern Pacific Com
pany and was noted in after years
as an anti-corporation lawyer. His po-
htical course was always consistent
and even his opponents who thought
him to be in the wrong were forced to
respect him for his undoubted SINGER
fly.
Monteith was a member OF the Order
Of Red Men, and the funeral will be
held under their management.
