Writing to the New York Even
ing Post, Joseph S. Wood, of Mt.
Vernon, N. Y, criticises Mr..
Roosevelt's spelling decree, and
says that it presents very serious
situation. Mr. Wood explains:
when congress passes an act it is
cngrossed, and it must be printed
as it is engrossed. If congress
adopts one style Of spelling for the
laws it enacts, and the president
adopts another, which is to be the
standard ? Again, the United States
courts have reporters who are APP
pointed by them to look after the
printing of the reports of the deci-
sions rendered. If the judges of
these courts spell their words not
in accordance with the edicts of
the president or with the laws of
congress, we may have an execu-
tive English, a Legislative En-
glish, and judicial English.
Again; what is true of congress and
the United States courts is equally
true of the legislatures and courts
of the several states. Who can say
whereunto this will lead ?'' Fur
thermore, press dispatches state
that some lawyer in Washington
has dug up from musty records a
concurrent resolution adopted by the
house and senate years ago, declar-
ing that Webster's dictionary
should be the authority on spelling
in all government documents; that
the Supreme court has had occasion
to pass on this resolution and that
it was sustained. The details re-
garding this supreme court ruling
would be of interest.
