Talk United States!

The first sign of green culture is

French words, Nothing which can
be said "a Ia Francois" Is ever said in
plain United States. At that stage
Of the minds development no one
was ever listless or worn out or in
different; he suffers from "onwe." If
man is distraught or absent-minded,
he is described as ''deestray" All gar
den parties are ''fates.'' Farewell and
good-by are rendered into "oh
revwah." Even old Tolstoy. who hates
sham, is called ''ToIstee."
OF course, this is fine cut cross
lots to a certain kind OF distinction.
The people who have lap lunches
and put ini for the ice cream at
'soirees.'' could not possibly receive

this broad and inexhaustible knowl-
edge of French You are not swell"
unless you garble your good. old
mother tongue with this lnongrel

People who can really speak French
do not interlard that language with
their English. They pride themselves,
on the contrary, on speaking English
as purely and colloquia1ly-tho COM
bination is not at all impossible-as
they speak any other tongue; and
when they approach words derived di-
rectly from either German or French,
like valet, they pronounce il accord

use.
If you are of the United States
and are not ashamed Of it, dare to
talk United States. The Culture
evidenced by ''valay" and ''onwe"

: The Scourge of God. -

The Kaiser would be more conyine-
ing If he held his speech within the
bounds OF logic and plain intelligence.
Ordinarily, he deals IN the cryptic
and prophetic. as behooves one who
holds a throne by divine right, and
his announcements are so adjusted
between what has been. what now is.
and what might, could, would, or
should have been, ought to be, or will
or shall be. that no matter what the
outcome may be. William, the true
prophet. has foretold it.
In recent speech William. the
prophet, bestowed praise and blame
with equal hand upon the Japanese.
They were 'the scourge Of God" yet
show many Christian virtues" they
are heather and the Russians Chris
tians; "a good Christian makes a good
soldier" and more to the same GEN
eral lack of effect. Did it ever occur
to you. o, you who hedge yourself
with lese majestic laws! Did 1t ever
J
things in heaven and earth. GuilieImo,
than are dreamed of in your philos-
opny?
It may be that the Japanese are
the scourge OF God: it may very well
be that Western civilization has been
weighed III the balance and found
wanting: it is possible that our gross
materialism has failed TO grasp the
higher truths of Christianity, and
that our religion is mere lip service.
Certain it is, however, that regard
less of divinely ordained kings; over
the mangled remains of tyrants; su-
perior 10 the .maehinations of corrupt
legislatures and sordid executives;

Do not these two occurrences prove
IN the most convincing way the ex-
istence OF fine public spirit in the
District Of Columbia? What else
would persuade business men to give
SO Hberally toward the home of an
institution like the Y. NJ. C. A? 1t
IS true the business men are them
selves gamers through this institu-
ton; but in money profits they can
not hope to obtain anywhere near as
much as If they had invested the
amount of their subscriptions in alley
shacks. A convention hall is in the
same category. Those who subscribe

reasonable expectation of a fair earn

earning will not be more than half

this who has given the subject the
slightest fair consideration-the bur
den OF taxation which rests upon the
property owners OF the District is dis
unctly greater than it would be il
the District paid all the expenses and
The National Government paid fair
taxes for the benefits it enjoys. In
connection with this criticism it is
said, also. that public spirit in Wash
Ington is dead or that public spirit
never existed in the District" !" and so
on until the loyal Washfngtonian
grows weary of answering.
Let these critics look on the new

how many cities outside the District
of Columbia have erected such struc-
lures free Of debt Let them also
follow the growth of this convention
hall movement. And they will find
enough proof Of an earnest. practical
public spirit TO convince every hon
est looker-on, even the doubling

Business IS Not Business.

A new era seems to be upon u.s. The
old-fashioned business man is pass
ing before the bitter struggle that
has resulted in the trusts We see
the result of this everywhere in the
business world, not only in dealing
with great corporations. but even in
our shopping for the ordinary luxu-
ries. Men have begun shrewdIy to
suspect that in the world of large
businesses, business is business no
longer.
Not long ago the papers published
an encomium Of a certain fabulously
rich man who had been much attack
ed because Of methods he had used in
founding his vast fortune. The ef-
feet of the panegyric was that in all
his dealings this rich man had never
gone outside the law to increase his
fortune. Analysed. this statement
gives us a modern definition of busf-
ness: That it is anything you can
do TO make money that is inside the
law. Surely, so sordid an admission
as this by man who ought TO know
this titan OF the modern commercial
world if anyone does. brings the
giants business pretty close to the
ragged edge of stealing.
Business is business" no longer
among such men as these. 1t is some
thing else.
