words. The reader does not have t read
twice to get one idea. The newspaper Is
based primarily upon the principle that
language Is made to state facts and to re-
veal thoughts-not as the French cypic
said. to conceal them.
The common schools are doing their work
in an effective way and putting the riches
of literature at the command of the people
Elegant diction is an requirement., not a ne
cessty. 1t is desirable, of course, and 1t will
be acquired II the individual wills. But
what Mr. James calls tidy speech rests
upon temperament rather than environ
ment.
1t would be interesting to see Mr. James
at the head of a daily newspaper. enforc-
ing his ideas as to rhetoric upon all its
writers. The sheet would certainly have a
vogue, for a time. It would be even more
interesting to see q hundred Of the greatest
of American journals agree to follow re-
ligiously the Jamesonian system of syntax
and observe the effect. Soporffic, perhaps.
Certainly productive of new crop Of COM
peting prints The readers of today demand
language which can be easily comprehend
ed. And If lazy, careless diction- comes with
Ineligible newspaper English 1t is merely
because the trend of the day Is toward a
new slang, a colloquial speech reflective Of
the hurried activities Of the world.

Togo's Target Practice.

1t was rough day on, the water when
Togo struck Rojestvensky, but the Japan
csc craftsmanship as true II. it had
been delivered from level and rigid plat
form. This is explained by the fact that
much of the Japanese target practice had
taken place under weather conditions iden-
tical with those that prevailed on the day
of the fight. The Japanese admiral stood
thus prepared for either a smooth or a tur-
bulent sea. After Deweys performance,
and SIMPSONS. and now Togo's-all attrib-
utable in large measure to qualifying the
man behind the gun thoroughly for his
job-we shall hear no further complaint
about the powder bills incurred in this way.
1t is very far from being powder wasted
1t is, on the other hand. powder put to as
deadly purpose as though it sent a shell
along and pierced the enemy's side. The
shell follows all the more effectively little
later.

Submarine Boat Disasters.

The British navy has been singularly un-
fortunate In the matter of its submarine
torpedo boats. three of them having been
lost. The latest disaster of this kind was
reported yesterday. Investigations into the
facts which would enable the admiralty to
profit by the errors or the mishaps of the
past and to avoid recurrence OF the dis
asters.
Practically nothing Is known today re-
garding the value of these boats in warfare.
If submarines were used at Port Arthur or
in the Korean strait the fact has not been
established. There has. of course, been
much talk of undersurface operations dur
ing the present war. and probably several
mine explosions and shell bursts and tor
pedo impacts have been improperly accred-
tied to submarines. Naval experts, admit
ting the high percentage of risk In subma-
rine warfare. insist that the advantage is
certain to be CORRESPONDENCE great when
once perfectly reliable craft Is produced.
But it would seem that in the battle of the
Tsu Islands Admiral Togo had no need of
submarines. His ordinary gun fire and his
torpedo boat attacks were sufficiently effect
i've without calling for extraordinary opera
lions.
Fortunately the American navy has es-
capped disasters such as those reported now
three times from England. This fact raises
the question, Is the American management
of the submerged boat more efficient than
the English? Or is the American type of
boat safer?

Peace Talk.

Peace talk continues in hopeful vein.
All the dispatches today indicate that there
IS no reason to doubt Russas willingness TO
learn Japans tentative propositions. And
that is all that could be expected at pres
emit. If st. Petersburg agrees to consider
peace negotiations possible the way Is
opened.
Today comes an interesting suggestion
from the Russian capital in the course OF
an interview with an unnamed ambassa-
dor of one of the European governments.
He says that there is a likelihood of the
definitive negotiations taking place. not in
Washington, in Paris, Berlin or London, but
on the battlefield in Manchuria. where Rus
STA and Japan could sit down for a con-
ference quite removed from ali possible in
ternational influences.
This would indeed be a departure from
the modern method a return to the old
style of striking peace balances with the
ground still smoking with the blood of the
slain. But 1t would have more particular
significance in that it would emphasize the
history of the past eleven years. the culmi-
nation of which is this very campaign in
Manchuria. The treaty of Shimonoseki.
whereby Japan was given Port Arthur. was
a conspicuous instance of peace negotia-
tons between belligerents that were set
aside afterward through the intervention of
other powers.
Russia has. however. more to gain from
foreign Intervention or foreign dictation
in connection with the peace terms than
Japan. repetition of the performance OF
1894 would rebound in this case to Russia s
favor. battlefield negotiation for peace
might not preclude the possibility of a later
upset of the terms. But if there is any
thing of the sort in the calculations of the
cars advisers they are reckoning without
their host. The Japan of today is not the
Japan of 1894. and Russia has reason to
know it.

The story that Justice Harlan will resign
from the Supreme Court and run as the re-
publican candidate for governor of Ken
lucky lacks confirmation. 1t has awakened
much interest in the blue grass state for
two reasons In the first place the advent
of so able and distinguished man into the
local political arena would stir things pro-
foundly, and in the second place the va
cancy thus created on the supreme bench
would appeal to the ambition of more than
one Kentucky lawyer The point would be
raised that a Kentuckan should succeed
a kentuckan in that court, and the names
of some very worthy and capable men
would be presented for the Presidents con-
sderation.
Judge Harlan has achieved high reputa-
ton upon the bench. but 1t has always been
a question among his admirers IT, had the
situation in Kentucky been different. he
would not have come to greater fame In
politics. In his younger days he was very
magnetic orator, and was easily his partys
strongest and most attractive man in that
bailiwick He ranked Bristow in local
favor. although the latter, through his APP
pointment to national Office by President
Grant secured and improved opportunities
which made him presidential quantity as
far back as 1876.
But Kentucky was at that time, and so
remained until 1895, state where the dem
ocratic label was all powerful The strong
est of republicans upon the most carefully
drawn of platforms could make no head
way against an order and an organizat ton
which rolled up majorities ranging any
where from thirty to fifty thousand. Judge
Harlan was twice his partys candidate for
governor, and on neither occasion had a
particularly able opponent, but on both &C.
casions was easily defeated. Two years
after his second race he was appointed to
his present place on the bench, and that of
course, closed his political career.
Is he likely to re-enter politics at this
late day? Hardly, one is tempted to reply.
That he would make an excellent governor.
and that Kentucky would benefit from his
services in that Office, no one will question
with knowledge of the man. but the de-
mocracy is again in possession there. with
an organization as powerful as of old, and
a third venture by Judge Harlan might re-
suit as disastrously as did the ones he
made in 1871 and 1875.

Newspapers and Untidy Speech

Mr.. Henry James, novelist expatriated
American, master of mysterious rhetoric
is now in this country getting re-acouainted
with the land of his birth He has ac
cepted several invitations to speak in pub
lie of late and has been saying things that
have greatly puzzled those who hang on
the borders of Jamesland and Historically
delighted all who accept his words as of
unquestionable wisdom and beauty. His
latest utterance is un-Jamesonian in that
II can be understood at first glance by all
who read. 1t is a departure 1t was enun-
GATED In the course of a speech to the
young ladies of Bryn Mawr College, where
doubtless at least a third of the young
ladies have been led to believe as an arti-
Gle of firm faith that Henry James stands
for the last cry in English diction. And
IT was therefore proper that he should
take for his subject The Question of Our
Speech Tidy speaking and perfect tone
were his chief demands He generously
recognized that the modern member of So
ciety labors under heavy handicap. the
influence of two pernicious institutions. the
common school and the newspaper. These
tend to keep our speech crude, untidy and
careless. Warming to his theme Mr..
James denounced the newspaper as moth
ing more than black eruptions of type; and
they roar like monsters; like maniacs
breaking loose"
1t is undeniably far cry from the mod
ern newspaper to Henry James. The news
paper has its own mission, equally with
Mr. James. 1t is TO inform the people of
the events of today and yesterday and to
acquaint them with the possibilities of to-
morrow. 1t tries to do this in the simplest
terms. In the main it tries to be intelligi-
BILE, first of all; to be truthful always
there are exceptions, of course-and to be
a steadfast influence for the incubation of
higher ideals of life among the people.
The fact is that the newspaper English of
today is good English. 1t has that great
est of all virtues. clarity. There is never
any doubt of the meaning Of a newspapers
