The New Word "Graft"

the Standard OF 1903 he would gather that Il
graft" was shoot of tree or a piece of
skin to be surgically transplanted. A graf
ter he would be informed, was a person
who grated the shoots.
So rapidly has this particular bit of Ian
guage developed in the last few years that a
word which was considered mere slang at
the the time of the publication OF the latest
dictionaries is now liz good usage. You will
find it employed without quotation marks in
some of the most conservative and reputable
publications. recent book put forth by
one of the most eminent of publishing house
&c ntains a chapter heading The Reign of
Graft, and uses the word throughout as a
wei! understood and proper term-which, il
deed, it is.
The development of the use OF the term is
remarkable.thing when you stop to think
about it One cannot avoid specializing
whether the addition OF this new work to the
language is due to the suddenly rapid
growth OF the phenomenon, which it names.
or whether it is mere ly the result OF a grow
ing consciousness OF tie existence OF "A class
of actions which had been long present but
which until recently had almost escaped 1T

CrimInaIify Within The Law

When the Merchants Protective Associa-
ton of New York gave District Attorney
Jerome a dinner at Delmonico's one night
recently to testify their appreciation OF his
work in securing the passage of a law enab'
ling the State authorities to prosecute mer-
chants who obtain credit by making false
statements of their assets, they probably had
no idea that Mr.. jerome would give them so
substantial return for their courtesy as he
did in the speech he made at the dinner.
The District Attorney did not conilne himself
to scoring men and things as he finds them
In the fields OF "high finance" and OF politics.
He urged that something definite be done to
check the kind of crime that runs riot In the
domain OF business as organized In these
h days OF giant corporations, and that now
does not come within the purview OF the
criminal law. within the past decade or
