SIMPLE SPELLING.

Expressing opinions in a news
paper is not entirely self-indul-
gence, says September Golfers.
Mainly one can write what he i'm
magines to be of interest to him
self, but sometimes the demand of
readers for editorial conviction on
timely themes becomes command
ing. In such predicament are we
cast by all proposals for spelling re-
form. When these things come
up we are mildly bored or family
amused, like the president of
Harvard, rather than seriously an
noyed, like the corresponding edu-
Gated opinion of Great Britain.
Nor il the public really interested.
1t doesn't care. 1t merely wishes
to hear something said, to have it
over with. And soon this list Of
three hundred words will cease to
trouble a universe that is consider
able in extent and in variety of
occupation. The presidents CO.
lumbia college friends have had
the official sanction given to their
continuance, and no harm is done.
Language grows and changes. 1t
is not peddled out by presidents
either of universities or of nations.
The spelling of White House docu-
ments even will very shortly re-
turn to what it was before, and to
what it will remain until changes.
which no man can foresee, are
slowly made by the people in their
own good time.
