A Defense In n London Paper of
American Spelling.

A United States citizen of consider
able scientific attachments was good
enough to give to a representative of
the Daily Graphic what may be called
the American view of British spelling.
Il see,' he remarked, that some of
the correspondents of the Daily Graph
ic have been complaining of the dis
figurement of English books by Ameri-
can spelling. | should like to tell you
that we think our way is right and
that your way is wrong, and perhaps
your editor will not mind if | venture
On a few remarks in defense of IL
corrections. For example, we write
favor and honor Well, favor and
honor are nearer the Latin original
than favour and honour which have
acquired their unnecessary u by COM
ing through the French"
"But if they have been spelled hon
our and favour for centuries, why
change them now?'
"Why not? They were as often spell
ed favor and honor in Shakespeare's
day as favour and honour You must
remember that spelling was extremely
uncertain in those E~llzabethan days,
whence we are believed to have drawn
the well of English undefiled. Ben
Jonson and Shakespeare, for example,
spell 'recede' in four other ways-'re-
cead,' 'receade,' 'receed,' ~'receede.'"
LET us leave honour How do you
defend 'centerY"
"Why should you spell it centre
when you write 'perimenter' and 'di-
ameter' md when Shakespeare wrote
'scepter?' By history and analogy cen
ter is more easily to be justified than
centre Then again." continued the
United States citizen, warming up to
his subject, you write 'criticise,' and
we write criticize but our version
hanks baek to the Greek original; you
write almanac but why don't you
write 'almanack,' which is more ar
chaic? You blame us for program but
you put down dram without a scruple.
Many English people write tyre for
tire which any phililogist knows to
be a gross error, and almost every Eng
lishman, for no reason whatever, writes
Wagon instead of wagon You
know what Horace Greeley said when
he was reproached for making that
mistake. He said he had been taught
spelling in the good old times, when
people built Wagons heavier."-Lon-
don Graphic.

A State Forest Reserve

The advertiser has for years earnestly
recommended to the Legislature the
establishment ola forest reserve system
in this State. Governor Stokes, in his
inaugural, made practical suggestions
on the same subject, and one of the first
bills to be introduced in the Legislature
provides for carrying out the Cover
nor's suggestions and was manifestly
inspired by him.
A proposition made two years ago
was for a limited policy, excluding
State ownership. 1t contemplated
merely a certain amount of encourage
ment by the State for land wne to
preserve and properly care for their
woodlands. Governor Stokes proposes
purchase or condemnation and owner
ship by the State, and his plan is the
only practical one to conserve the for
est interests. The bill introduced pro-
vides for a State commission to investi-
gate the subject of forest park reserva-
tons and all questions appertaining
thereto, together with the policy to be
adopted by the State, such commission
to report to the next Legislature.
The bill contains the germ of a future
policy by the State of immense i'm
portance. There are in round numbers
about two million acres of forest land
in New Jersey. The largest areas are
in South Jersey, Burlington having
about 800, 900 acres, Ocean 295, 900 acres,
Atlantic 100000 acres and Cumberland
$4,000 acres. In the northern high
lands Sussex has 1876, 900 acres, Morris
100000 acres, Passaic 76, 900 acres and
Warren 0 1000 acres. In both sections
of the State, and especially in the
southern, there are many thousands of
acres of land that are now practically
worthless as to market values, but are
valuable, in several important respects,
to the State. Purchased and set apart
in reservations they will safeguard the
water supply, the climate and the ara
BILE soil.

people on account of its health-giving
climate. They find salubrious air in
the highlands, in the pine forests of
West Jersey and along the seashore.
Forests have an important effect upon
climate, and the destruction of forests

and profitable patronage from the
health resorts, with a consequent lossof
wealth to the State. Forests conserve
the water supply, prevent disastrous
floods and preserve an ever distribution
of water for irrigation. The loss OF
forest growth means the drying up of
the sources of water supply, the prevail
ence of floods and the impoverishment
of the soil in the valleys.
The waste forest land can be put to
good public uses, as Governor Stokes
points out. New health resorts can be
established to give high value to the
land. In former years the site of At
lantic City was a SAND island and could
have been bought for less money than
the site for a single large hotel o
commands. Both in the highlands
and in the pine barrens there are pre-
sented many opportunities for the es-
adjustment oflarge health resorts, and
they will be utilized in the near future.
If the State owns the land and forests
the State will be immensely the gamer
financially, as well as benefiting in
other essential respects.-Newark Adj

Late Enough.
Keeping Busy.

The surge of the wind in the frozen street
Is strong as the tide of the sea;
The sharp, steely points of the icy sleet
Are piercing as piercing can be.
I gather my strength and my courage
thin
And tackle a job that hate like sin.
The storm king has swept, in his anger
bold,
The SHOWS of a thousand long years,
Has buried my sidewalk in crystals cold,
Has heaped 'em clear up to my ears,
Has drifted and heaped them horribly
high.
The man who must clear 'em away is l.
No tramp heaves In sight TO be bribed to
work,
No urchin appeals for the job;
NV ueighbors, I'm sure, would not let me
shirk;
They simply would call me a slob
If I should allow any snow to stay,
And so [ must shovel 1t all away.
As fast as I clear off the COMPOUNDED
stuff
The blizzard just slips in behind
And banks up the rear with snowdrifts
enough
To drive a man out of his mind.
I'd rather reside in a fiat with it's woes
Than live in a house of my ~own-when it
SHOWS.
People without money are people to
whom sin appertains; rich people have
only little p%eccadillos and idiosyncra-
sies.
Some people talk a good deal to keep
their hearers from thinking.

Housekeeping and Divorce.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman, whose writing leads to a belief that she is a new woman" of the most advanced and relentless type, occupies about two and a half pages of Public Opinion with an article entitled "A Woman's View of Divorce
 She begins with the obviosuly correct assumption that the frequency Of di- vorce implies that something is gravely wrong with marriage and, after a gen eral discussion of the marriage rela- tion, proceeds to offer her plan for solving the problem.
 In brief, she urges that the modern wife, thanks to her having emerged as from a chrysalis" and become Thu man." is above homework and refuses to become mans servant"

employees render poor service; there fore, to employ them is poor business. It touches the pocketbook of the en- ployer-a vital spot-so it is certainly to his interest to spend money. if ne cessary to encourage the virtues which will enable his employe to do more and better work.
 This kind of an appeal to a young man is more likely to be effective than any number of sermons. Show him that bad habits are inimical to his material welfare, retard his advancement and cut down his earning capacity, and he is likely to think pretty hard before pursuing them further. But the same young man woud probably turn a deaf ear to an appeal which invoked only the moral questions involved.
 The fact that self-interest it at the bottom of the missionary work being done by these corporations does not in the least detract from its efficiency or render their course less commendable. It is a splendid work and the example will in time probably be followed by all large employers.

A Home Affair.

Governor Otero has received an invi- tation from Governor Joseph H. Kib- bey of Arizona, to attend the anti-joint statehood convention in Phoenix which is to take place in the capital of Ari- zont on the 27th inst. The governor could not accept the invitation, believ- ing that the anti-joint statehood meet ing by the Arizonians was purely an Arizona territorial affair.-Santa Fe New Mexican"
 The New Mexico papers, and not a few Arizona papers as we'll. are in err TOT in this matter. Governor Kibbey did not invite Governor Otero to at tend the convention, nor did he invite anybody else from New Mexico. Nor was any discourtesy implied or in tended by the governors failure to in vite anybody from New Mexico. The reason why no such invitations were issued is aptly stated in the remarks attributed to Governor Otero-today's convention is essentially a home af- fair

 It win be a sad day for this and every land when home making be- comes a peculiar" and unsuitable" economic relation.
 In the days when our mothers were young, there were few women who were "emerging as from a chrysalis." '" but it was not not called emerging as from a chrysalis" then; it was called laziness, and the world had small re- spect for it's exemplars and their advo- cates. Now. thanks to the teachings of modern" women, the class is larger and we believe the increase of divorces bears a direct relation to the increase of this class rather than to the condi ton which the writer in Public Opin ion deplores.
 But her idea, if followed to the ulti- mate limit, would solve the divorce problem beyond a doubt, because it would end marriage. Men do not know ingly wed Careers" but wives.
Arizona republican., 1905-05-27

The absurdity of a wife's being a servant is made visible if we reverse the position and consider a husband as such. She writes: What should we think of 6 woman who married her butler and retained him in that ca pacity? Yet a housekeeper is only a female butler. It is this peculiar and unsuitable economic relation which renders marriage today so uncertain and frequently disastrous"
 And later on she writes this: Mar riage is a most beautiful, happy and right relation but a modern woman can no more content herself with marriage as a profession-plus housework-than could a modern man. Marriage is status-not a trade. Housework is trade; or rather several trades; and these trades should be performed by the several professionals to whom they belong"
 Perhaps the writer's list of female acquaintances is confined to modern" women. We rather believe it is. We are inclined to believe that if she could visit homes presided over by women who have made marriage a 'profes- sion," who devote themselves chiefly to the proper care of their households and their children. striving to the ut most to make the lives of their fami- lies useful and happy and deriving un- told joy and comfort from so doing. she would revise her opinions as to the cause for divorce. No man was ever driven to the divorce court by good meals and clean house. prepared and kept by a loving wife and mother. And few women who make their homes the center of their lives find unhappiness in so doing. Neither are they "serv- ants or slaves" as this writer would lead us to believe. but queens with

Today's Proceedings.

Phoenix is to be treated today to a
 triple assault upon the joint nt-statehood
 scheme. All of the proceedings will be interesting. but the main show-the
 show to which the public is invited, will begin at two o'clock this afternoon, in the Doris theater. In the morning the two political committees will hold separate meetings in the capitol build ing. The democratic territorial com mittee, with the Hon. E. F.. Ellinwood as chairman. will hold its meeting in the main office of the governors cham bers. The republican committee, with Governor Kibbey as chairman, will meet in the office of the secretary of the territory This arrangement was made because the capitol is the most convenient place for the meetings, and the democratic brethren are to be made at home in the executive chambers be- cause the governor. being chairman of the republican committee. wished to- extend a marked courtesy to the dem ocrats.
 The two committees will hold their respective meetings at 10 o'clock.
 In the afternoon. at the hour stated. republicans and democrats repre- senting the entire territory. will meeet in the theater and organize a league to fight joint statehood.
 The Republican, on behalf of the people of Phoenix, extends a cordial welcome to all visitors. They are vel come at all times. and the town is pe- culiarly theirs today. because they come in a sacred and patriotic cause. They assemble in their capital city for the purpose of conferring and organiz- ing for the common welfare-for the protection of Arizona against a menac- ing misfortune.
 The situation is one of gravity. There is too much reason to believe that the danger is greater than at any time in the past While Arizona has made some gains in the republican ranks, it Is stated on good authority that some of the democratic members of the United States senate are growing lukewarm in opposition to the proposed jointure of Arizona and New Mexico.
 Hence, there is a pressing necessity | for intelligent and cordial cooperation. Republicans and democrats should for get in this movement that there are any party lines in this territory. All the steps taken today should be guided | by wisdom and conservatism.

Good Conduct Pays.

An interesting and significant piece of news was published by the Colorado Springs Gazette the other day to the effect that one of the largest express companies, through its president, has announced that it will pay one-half of the membership fees of all employees who join the Young Mems Christian Association. This company employs thousands of men and the rule ap- plies all over the country. All local agents have been instructed acording- ly, and the order will without doubt, be the means of bringing a large pro- portion of the express men within the sphere of infiue ence of this beneficert organization.
 Here is a striking proof of the fact that, considered only as a cold-blooded business proposition, correct and reg ular habits of life pay. The railroads found this out long ago, and now most of the great systems maintain their own branches of the r. M. c. A., and in every way possible encourage their employees to become active and consci- entious members of it. They strictly enforce rules against drinking, and it is now rarity to find a man holding a position of responsibility on a rail- road who is addicted to the use of liuors. Similar rules have been adopt ed by many large business concerns, and some of them have placed cigar cites in the same category with whis key. Employers everywhere are learn ing that the most efficient workman in any capacity is the man who is tenn perate in all things. and the best way 10 induce temperate and correct hab- its is to surround their men with the wholesome influences of a Young Mems Christian Association.
 We may well believe that the rail- roads, express companies and other large corporations which have taken this stand, are not actuated by phil anthropic motives. With them 1t is simply matter of business. Dissipated

Last Night.

The annual election of officers for the
District Society Of the Daughters of the
American Revolution was held at the Shore
ham last night. The meeting was presided
over by State Regent Mrs. Ellen Spencer
Mussey and was attended by large delega-
tons from all the local chapters.
Much business Of Importance was dis
cussed. The question of furnishing room
in the Continental Memorial Hall meet
ing place for the chapters of the District
branch Of the society was considered at
length as was also the matter Of providing
medals for students at the George Wash
ington University. The matter of giving
two medals. one for the young men and one
for the young women students, came in for
some little comment. The question was de-
bated at length, and it was finally decided
to continue the custom of giving two
medals
The election of officers resulted as follows
the state regent and vice regent having
been chosen some time ago: Recording
