James j. Jeffries did not referee yes
terday's football game because. It is
said by his associates. he was not in
vited TO do 80. The champion spent
the entire day in the city and had the
pleasure OF slushing around In the
mud. which seems to have been unusu-
ally plentiful. The big fellow is the
picture OF health and is immensely
enjoying his theatrical tour. He states
that he is out Of the boxing gasne for
a while, and In response TO a question
declared that he had drawn the color
line and, would not meet Jack john
son, who has been issuing periodical
challenges. However, Jeff is satisfied
he could put the darky out Of business
In punch. The outcome Of the Britt
Cans fight did not surprise Jeffries,
who knows how headstrong Britt is
when things are coming his way. The
champion wants to do some shooting
In the willamette valley on his pres
ent trip and hopes to spend a day or
two among the Denny pheasants.

"Davy Crockett" was presented to a
packed house at Fishers last night. A
critic would not have gone into
eostacIes over the histrionic work of
any of the performers, which does not
mean. however, that the production
was woefully lame, It was, on the
contrary, fairly good. but, all "jolly-
Ing" aside, the crowd paid the price
of admission to enjoy the novelty Of
seeing big Jim Jeffries, handsome and
the soul OF good-nature, portray as
best he knew how the character OF the
famous backwoodsman, Davy was q
quaint fellow whose blunt humor SEEM

frequently gave vent to its merriment.

while he Is always trying to add to
his knowledge Of the new game with
which he has taken up, he is not lack

Michael German was In the city yes
terday. He is the democratic leader
OF Wahkiakum county, Wash, and had
been over in the Deep river district.
where he explained to the voters that
], Bruce Polworth ought to be defeat
ed for county attorney. "Mr. McFad-
den win receive two votes to Mr., Pol
worths one" declared Mr.. German.
"Polworth is a goner, as sure as you
are born. Saltpeter wouldn't save him,
We will elect three of our candidates
at least" Recently Mr.. Polworth said
in an interview published In The AS
torian that the respectable element of
the democratic party had remained
away from the Cathlamet convention.
Mr. German laughs at this assertion.
''Mr. Polworth has tried to overthrow
and disrupt the party organization,
said the leader, "and we came to the
conclusion that we would not stand for
it. That's why Polworth is running on
the republican ticket" Republicans

School Children Who Cannot Spell
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
The current charge that the spelling Of
public school children is atrocious receives
the strongest sort of confirmation from the
refusal of the high school principals to al
low their pupils to take part in a series of
spelling matches for prizes, which the
Eagle offered in order to stimulate interest
in this fundamental of common school
education.
The nub Of the matter is just this, the
public school children cannot spell. The
principals OF the high schools know that
they cannot spell, as does everybody else
who has occasion to receive letters from
them. If a series of competitions were
held this most troublesome fact of the
school situation to those on the inside
might be revealed to the great body Of
parents and taxpayers. Then there might
arise such a hue and cry for common
sense and the fundamentals Of education
as would annoy the authorities who now
make out our scientific and philosophical
course of study, which sights spelling for
general information about everybody from
Confucius and Buddha down to Admiral
Togo. II the school should once begin to
make time enough for fundamentals, of
which spelling is easily first, there is no
telling how many fads and ffills would
have to be cut out to find the time for es-
sentials. Therefore, the school system en-
ulates the ostrich by hiding its head in the
sand, In the vain hope that the bad spelling
OF its pupils will not attract too much at
tention 30 long as they do not permit the
children to stand up and demonstrate their
Incompetence. IT Is silly game. and there
would be little chance for it's success in
any case. But this town Is too full of
employers and parents who have been
shocked by the shortcomings of school
children In this matter to make such
refuge available.

The Awful English Language.

In the mass Of anomalies and contradlc-
lions which go to make up English pro-
nunciation and spelling the name OF the
language itself is little troublesome to those
who are born to its use, but the foreigner
must appreciate the significance of the vart-
alton noted in the quotation. For his SUBJ
ject presents itself to him at once in the
shape Of an irregularity, and tflenceforth
he moves from one bewilderment to an
other.
The letter Sc" to which he had such an
unpromising Introduction confronts him
with the sound Of "a" In sergeant and with
the sound of short 'i'' In pretty. The ''e'
sound, or one of the ''e'' sounds, is repre-

nauseating effect upon many to hear the
accent fall upon the second syllable Of this
last word. as was once the usual practice"
Are there any rules. then, or Is there any
authority which the student may follow?
As for rules for accent, we are told that
the tendency among classical scholars has
been to accent the next to the last syllable
of words of Greek and Latin derivation
when the vowel was long In quantity In the
original. We are also told that the genius
OF the language insists on throwing the ac-
cent back. Here we may derive two con-

Acts Like Oxygen.
