Our Silent senatcr-

Our Silent Senator
one OF our democratic exchanges
snoers at Senator Clark as the silent
senator 1t is not very true, but there
would be no great harm done IL it
We're. silence is golden" says the
proyerb, and history records a great
many great men who have been reti-
cent. Grant was q silent man, notably;
William of Orange, will always be
known in history as william the Silent,
Motley sums up his character In words
that might quite 6ttingly apply to Sen
ator Clark, as follows: His enemies
never contested the ~subtlety and
breadth of his Intellect, his adroitness
and capacity in conducting state af-
fairs and the profoundness of his views.
In many respects his surname of the
Silent was a misnomer. William Of
Orange was neither silent nor tact,
turn; we these are the epithets which
will be forever associated with the
of a man who in private was the
most affable, cheerful and delightful of
companions, and who ON Il thousand
public occasions was to prove himself,
both by pen and speech, the most elo-
quent man of his age a good many
of Senator Clark's friends will say that
this pen portrait needs but little altera-
ton to fl him. Whether this be true
or not, however, there never yet was,
since the foundation of the government,
a chairman OF the judiciary committee
of the senate who was not a stong,
able man, of whose ability the position
was a mere recognition, no matter to
what party he may have belonged.
Such positions are won; they don't
come by accident-Buffalo Bulletin.

a new condition prevails in the
southern portion of Laramie county.
An association of Iowa agriculturists
has purchased a large quantity of rail.
road lands and are preparing to dispose
of them to small farmers. Al the same
time they are urging these same
farmers to locate upon gov
eminent lands. In this way it
is believed the entire country can be
settled. Hitherto it has been the Gus,
tom to buy the railroad lands and
fence them, together with the govern.
ment sections, thus keeping out the
small farmer entirely. The new way
will add much to the population and
growth Of the state. 1t inaugurates a
deal that will spread throughout the
state.

HEARD IN PASSING.

The announcement that the last surviving member of the famous confederate congress is dead at Mount Sterling. Kentucky, suggests the thought that there must have been as many members of that his- toric assemblage as there were body servants to George Washington Providence Bulletin.
 Owing to the interference of the city authorities of Hartford with the Sunday sales of some small Italian dealers. the whole question of Sun- day selling may come before the courts It is difficult to understand the reasoning by which one class of sellers may sell at ali hours on Sun day articles not absolutely necessary. while the stores of other classes are kept vigorously closed.-Bridgeport Farmer

If the senate is marking time on the rate bill and finding excuses for not speaking, the house is by no means talked out. Bourke Cochran this week had an hour of time grant, ed him in which to express his views, and they were we'll expressed and went to the point as is usual with his speeches. What he advised was for the house to stand pat" on the rate bill and allow no amendments from the senate. He said that in common with a good many other members he had gone over the Hepburn bill, hoping to strengthen it by amend ment, but he found that in every case he had been anticipated by the fram- CTS of the bill and he thought that the best thing to do was to pass the bill as it stood and not allow the sen- ate to saddle it with amendments. In the matter of court review pro- vision, MT Cochran took the very common sense view that if any rail- road were not satisfied with the rul- ing of the commission, all 1t had to do to secure a court review was to fail to enforce the order. This would at once throw the matter into the courts and get the ruling that all the court review amendments pur- ported to seek. As notice had been given that Cochran was to speak, the galleries were crowded. or course so long as the bill is under consideration in the senate. the talk on the house end is rather beside the mark, but it is an indication to the senate that the house for once in- tends to stand on its rights and that if the bill comes back from the sen ate in any considerably amended shape, it is likely to have a hard time before it gets to conference and afterward.

Almost as old as the proposal to change the date of the presidential inauguration is the proposal to elect senators by popular vote. But the measure has been introduced again by MT Norris of Nebraska and in spite of the fact that the bill has four times passed the house and has been killed in the senate, there is re- newed talk of it's passing. There is incorporated with the bill proposal to make the terms of members of the house four years instead of two. The object of this, the report says, is to give more importance to the primar- les and prevent the professional boodler from living over from term to term on the proceeds of his un- holy work at one election. "The people are tired, the report says, 'of this continuous drama and as a result are inclined to give little at tention to the primaries and the con- ventions which are the very founda- tion of our political system, and are the times at which the country's in- terests can be best protected" The change in the order of elections would have to be accomplished by a constitutional amendment, but the framer of the bill is convinced that it is a good one and it has at least
 had a favorable report to the house.

4 SPELLING REFORM
ANDREW TO HAVE A HAND IN
 THIS roo.
The New Movement for Smplification of the English Language-For- eigner's Dificulties-English
 a Universal Tongue.

When one reads that the indefat- able Andy was up and at another phil anthropy-or public benefit, or what ever you may please to call it-one laughed at this new form of Carnegie energy, this new means of getting rid of Carnegie superfuous wealth. And then little questioning into the man ner, ard one thought that after all it was not so ridiculous, that the new movement was pretty carefully studied out, had some very authoritative folk backing it. 4
 It seems that several years ago MT. Carnegie remarked to somebody that he believed the English language was destined to become world language, that world peace would be 'furthered thereby; and the Scotchman with the interests of the world occupying his horizon, added he thought if our lan- guage were simplified the time might be hastened for its use as universal tongue. Several of those interested in simplification heard of this remark of MT. Carnegie's and sought opportunity to discuss the matter fully. MT. Car negie promised to assist in simplifi- cation movement if the persons inter- ested could secure the signatures of a score of recognized authorities on English to an agreement to use the 12 simplified words adopted in 1898 by the National Educational association. Seven hundred names were secured, and list of 30 was sent to MT. Car negie. He concluded to make the of fer of s15,000 year for five years to carry on campaign for simpliied spelling. It is thought more money will be forthcoming at the expiration of this period if the experiment shall have proven a success.
 Various efforts have been made from time to time to reform English spelling, which really is the abomina- tion of complexity and inconsistency; but ever the reformers were regarded by the public as cranks or as those attempting the palpaoly impossible. The movement IS OI QlII6renC cuar- acter; as, Prof. Brander Matthews, of Columbia university, puts it: Those now working for a change in the way of simplicity are "accelerators" rather than "innovators." The changes sug- gested but in line with those that have been slowly making ever since our inconsistent and unscientific orth- ography," was inflicted. Prof. Mat thews tells us English spelling as it exists to-day, is compromise ar rived at by the printers and publishers of London early in the eighteenth cen tury, men ordinarily ignorant of the history of the language" And then Dr. Johnson comes in for tremendous
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-04-17

share of the blame, Dr. Johnson with his misleading dictionary.
 So the reformers make declaration of independence of printer and dic- tionary maker, and they bid all schol- ars and all sensible, hard headed bus mess men join hands with them to do away with our time-wasting ana im- possible word architecture. Statistics are gathered to show the waste of time of school boy and girl. of the waste in business life, and this appeal is of the kind to influence a large number of people. If the proposed reforms car " there will be an enormous saving in press work, the price of books very considerably reduced. Henry Holt, the publisher, says millions of dollars would be saved by simplified spelling.
 The words adopted by the National Educational association in 1898 We have become more or less familiar with: they are program. tho. altho. thoro thorofare, thru. turnout, eata-  log, prolog, decalog. demsgog and ped agog. These have lost their strange ness to many of us, and are blessedly easy to write.
 Foreigners learning the English tongue consider 1t comparatively easy to speak. but when they come to write the words and find that sound and written symbol have very little simi- larity they naturally grow discour- aged. Our commercial rivals. the Ger mans are simplifying their tongue, a very clever move on their part. A hundred years ago the Italians simpli- fed theirs. and to-day have an abso- Iuteiy phonetic language.
 If the reformers succeed with the English spelling. sssuredly the Eng fish school children shall rise up and call them blessed. the English business man find his letter fles less bulky, the -Outlander- look with more favor on the English language.

The Hair Boa.

A young reader. who signs herself Northern Inquirer" asks how a girl of 1s should wear her hair, whether more than one bow is proper and how many yards in each bow.
 Since the receipt of this letter Madame Merri has made a careful study of the subject and finds that there is almost no limit to the number of bows or the number of yards they may contain. But to prevent ones head from having the appearance of bargain counter or a remnant sale, either one or two bows with three-quarters of yard in each, or a full yard if only one bow is worn. should be the choice. The prevailing style Is the soft pompadour in front with the hair caught up on top with bow. the ends braided and turned under and fastened with a second low.

INACCESSIBLE FORESTS.
Dense Tropical Growth of Guatemala
 Contains Much Valuable 4-g--Ia D.4 Timber. fn


 Nearly all of the northern and east ern part of Guatemala is covered with a dense tropical forest. consisting of mahogany, different kinds of cedar. cnlcle and other hard woods. Along streams down which logs can be float ed much of the mahogany has been cut, but as yet very little of the other woods have been marketed. This is especially true of the departments of Peten, Alta Verapaz and Izabal.
 Most of the forests still belong to the government, and the usual method of securing the timber is by conces- sion, by which certain number of trees are cut at given price per tree. or a stipulated sum is paid for the timber on a given tract. It is not an easy matter to get titles to large tracts of land in Guatemala, as it is discouraged by the government. These concessions are not usually granted for longer period than five years. Sometimes it is stipulated that if a certain number of trees are cut during that time they must be re- newed.
 The pine forests are limited, being in the mountainous country principal ly and inaccessible. Most of the lum- Der used comes from the United States, principally from California. The forests of this country are gen. erally so inaccessible that the railroad companies import nearly all their ties. and even import coal. because it is difficult for them to get enough fire wood
