ROT, SAYS JACOB RIIS.
President Trapped Into Ne1o Spell
ing, He Suggests.

Jacob A Riis is strongly opposed 10 adopting
in hts writings the simplfed spelling. With a
reporter Mr.. Riis went carefully over the list OF
three hundred words. after returning to his
home in Richmond Hill from a dinner party
Thursday. Mr. Ris. who has been away for
several months resting in Nova Scotia. held up
his hands in horror when shown the list OF
words. He said he could never accept the
words. having reached the age Of cOnserva-
tism when radical changes are difficult Of at
tainment
Such spelling seems 10 me mOnstrOus." said
Mr.. Ris. Such words 'clapt.' 'clpt.' 'claspt.'
'kist' and so forth. seem ridiculous. For Presi-
dent Roosevelt have every respect. and for his
Judgment I'm all matters. But I'm this simplhed
spelling reform must disagree with him. Bran
der Matthews. Nicholas Murray Butler and
some Of the other pedagogues must have per-
suaded President Roosevelt 10 adopt the sim
plihed or reformed spelling. The President was
simply trapped into II.
Certainly. I could never be induced 10 use
such spelling. Why, many Of the old words il
is proposed 20 change are od-time friends. Their
destruction would be the dismemberment OF
many beautiful associations. For instance. the
word neighbour loses by change. our own
shorter 'neighbor appears 10 lack something.
''Simplihed spelling pursued Mr.. RiiS has
no humor in Il for me- IL seems pitiful Let
give you illustration of spelling reform in
the interests of simplifcatiOn. The Emperor
William decided several years ago TO reform the
spelling Of the German language. The word
red at that time spelled. in German roth.
That left the word rot and that is what il
always appears 10 me-rot."

Chicago, May 12.-The strike en-
thusiasm Of the bituminous miners has
shown signs of abatement because Of a
growing feeling that the advice given
them by Patrick Dolan when he op-
posed a strike at the indianapolis mid
winter convention was not tratorous but
only farsighted.
Dolan has been vindicated. the miners
believe, by the stand taken by Presi-

cite convention. The latter urged the
miners to accept three years continu-
alton of the strike commission IS award
of 1908. He pointed out that the Or
ganization was not in fit condition to
withstand a strike.
The miners say this Is nothing else
than the position taken by Dolan at In
