USE OF FRENCH WORDS.
A Practice That Does Not Help tn

Practice That Does Not Help the
English Language.
Why do people persist in using
French words when there are good old
English words to serve the purpose?
It Is u habit that is growing daily. For
instance, Mt dinner people give you.
menu" instead of bill of fare"
though the items are such English
dishes as boiled cod, roast beef and ap-
pie tart. One is accommodated with a
serviette instead of napkin, an Eng
fish word, but originally of French or
igin, as Is the Scotch word napery,
used for household linen. When you
enter shop you are served with cor
sets instead Of stays, costumes by
cOstumiere instead of dresses by
dressmaker. "Blouses" take the place
Of shirts or wrists, and hose are Of
fered for stockings. The former word
Is, however, English. At the theater
we have programmes instead of play
bills and matinees in place Of afternoon
performances. Toques are adjusted
with as much ease us hats, and we eat
In restaurant as cheerfully as in
dining room. There are, of course, un
Transferable words which must be
used, but our good old English lam
guage is rapidly becoming a hotch-
potch Of foreign words. while telegra-
ply is doing its best to GUST all the
crisp and racy Saxon speech. When
ever possible let us determine to use
an English instead of French word,

RAILWAY RATE
LEGISLATION
Rival Conventions at Chicago Adopt
Divergent Resolutions on
the Subject.

Chicago. Oct. 30.-Out of the clash
between opposing delegates to the in
terstate commerce law convention,
which was factionally divided, there
developed two distinctive platforms
relating to railroad rate legislation.
The regular" convention, cham
pion of the utterances of President
Roosevelt, embodied in resolution
the ideas of the chief executive re-
sarding regulation of railroad rates
and determined to urge upon congress
the enactment Of legislation which
will give power to the interstate COM
merce commission to regulate unjust
or discriminating rates.
The so-called trump" convention,
headed by David NJ. Parry, Of Indians
apolis, and made up of men who re-
fused to pledge themselves to the
Roosevelt plan. adopted resolutions
admitting the existence of railroad rate
evils, calling upon congress to enforce
existing laws against violations Of the
same and to provide necessary legisla-
ton. but emphatically protested against
the investiture Of authority upon any
appointive body such us the interstate
commerce commission.

SLUGGISH RIVERS.
The volsa Fail. Only About Three
Inches Per Mile.

The VolRa Falls Only About Three
Inches Per Mile.
Considering its length the Volga is
the most sluggish river. In 1926 miles
it falls only GG5 feet. or slightly over
three inches per mile, While ut one
point about the middle of its course
the bed is fully fifty feet below sea
level. Thus all the water to that height
above the bottom must be still, snyc
when stirred by floods.
The Volga also is singular among
great rivers in having no mountainous
course. 1t rises among marshes and
lakes. and is SO sluggish even then
that dam has been erected, which
makes it navigable from its sixty fifth
mile onward. Almost within the his
toric period 1t must have been an Off
shoot from the Caspian, which then
stretched far into the interior Of Rus
sia, drying up into series Of river
connected lakes. The Volga has taken
the place OF these, along with many Of
their characteristics, including gen.
cral sluggishness.
The Scheldt is proverbially a slow
river and is practically lost in maze
Of canals. but its fall from source to
sea is about fourteen inches in its total
length of 249 miles.

Death Of I. B. Powers.

Hon. j. B. Powers died at his home
in Dubuque last Wednesday even
ing. The funeral services were held
last Saturday, and the remains TAX
Ell to Cedar Falls for interment. He
was for several years prosecuting at
torney for this judicial district when
it was composed ofthe counties of Du-
buque, Delaware, Buchanan, Black
hawk and G,undy, and it was dur
ing those years that he formed a
wide acquaintance in this county.
He was an excellent lawyer, agenial,
courteous, high-minded man. He
held several public Offices and filled
them faithfully and efficiently, but
above all, as has been justly said of
him, was his pure and admirable life
as husband and father.
