Peace with Spelling.

The latest ~benefaction OF the Hon.
ANDREW CARNEGIE is the endowment
OF spelling reform. Builder Of the
Temple Of Peace. Mr.. CARNEGIE views
with alarm the war among English con-
sonants. Devoted to the simple life,
he cannot abide the waste Of good vowels
and diphthongs. He is appalled, by the
luxury and excess, the spendthrift habits
of English photography. His prophetic
eye sees a world full of speakers and
spoilers Of reformed English.
Many illustrious writers, scholars,
editors and college dons are members
Of Mr.. C~ARNEoIE's Stmpllied Spelling
Board. The anne OF most of them are
guarantees that scholarship, judgment
and conservatism will be used in spread
ing the light of simplidcation. They
will not be fierce and iconoclastic. ST.
lently and slowly they will try to drive
out the silent letters, the anomalies, the
eccentricities. They are all pledged to
spell according to their own spelling.
Their plans are large, and doubtless a
largeunumber Of centuries will be needed
to carry them out.
For u part, we have lever worried
much about the English language or the
spelling of it. Indeed, that spelling
laboriously acquired. is a possession not
lightly to be parted with. A good many
foreigners have to learn English; and if
they have to they do. The jungle Of the
spelling book won't keep them back.
The truth is that it seems a good deal
harder to spell according to the reformed
code than according to the old one.
Will the French Academy reply to Mr..
CARNEGIE by expelling the innumerable
multitude Of silent letters from the
tongue of diplomacy and high cooking?

1t is 40 matter who was silent in 1908.
Since then the country has learned TO
comprehend the sinister workings of
discrimination. To check that, so far
rs it can be checked, in all its manifes-
t%ations, forms and disguises, to substi-
tute justice, equality and openbanded
dealing for injustice, Inequality and
favoritism in the dark Is still q plain
and necessary duty Of the Congress.
Even suppose that the e%xaltation OF
the powers OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission is carried rs far n its most
fanatical friends desire, and the protec-
ton of the courts minimized as far as
possible, withdrawn as much and as long
a. is possible from the oorlmon carriers.
Some high rates may be lowered. but
the great evil Of rebating will not be
touched.

related the following: "Sambo came TO his white

mere elementary decency TO require that all the
Government departments shall be handled in
accordance with the principles thus clearly aud
f~earlessly enunciated."
In contrast with Mr.. RoosEvELT's un-
qualified approval, as here expressed Mr..
JOHN MITCHELL, in his book on Or
ganized Labor" which he published
later in 1908, expressed the opinion that
the report. of the Anthracite Coal Strike
Commission was "a document prepared
by fair minded and intelligent men,
showing, upon the whole, a lack OF APP
probation of some of the fundamental
principles of unionism and based upon
premises which cannot be maintained
Yet they are likely to be maintained.
The Strike Commission Of three years
ago maintained them. President RoosR-
WELT maintained them. The anthracite
coal operators maintain them in the reply
to Mr.. JOHN MITCHELL and his asso-
ciates which was made public yesterday
morning. The common sense, the in
t~elligence, the patriotism and the law
abiding spirit of the American people are
and will continue to be un%alterably for

Rebates and High Rates.

In his speech in the Senate on the
regulation Of railway rates the Hon.
MOSES f. CLAPP of Minnesota made
this plea in confession and avoidence for
the Elkins act against rebates:
That law was not perfect, That law did not
20 quite far enough In the matter OF securing evil
dcnce Of violation. But II has been an %efncicnt
law, and II that law contained mistakes and errors,
! FOR one am perfectly willing TO stand here and
assume my share OF the responsibility for such
mistakes.
" 1t has been said that we made a treat mistake
In that law In changing the punishment from i'm
pnsonment to nne. Mr.. President. It IL not a ques-
ton so much OF punishment, but, as IL was termed
the other day by the brilliant Senator from Iowa
lMr. DoLLIvKRl. II is a question Of securing couvlc-
ton. 1t developed before the committee that
many OF these offences. so. far as the technical act
Of orrence Itself was concerned. would be traced
to some once boy at a salary Of 81 100 a year, and
1t would be idle 10 expect juries or courts TO innlct
upon him the penalty OF the law. So 1t was thought
wise to change Il to a nne. so that II q conviction
was obtained and a penalty was imposed IL would
fall on those who primarily were guilty of the
offence. II that was q mistake. | am willing to
STAND mere ana lahe my IuIl enhrc VI IeoPouhiulH'9
for It."
II was a mistake. The law has not
been efficient. II it had been, the COM
plants of discrimination would not be
so numerous and convincing. Since
1903, in fact, the evidence of the practice
Of rebating has greatly increased. Hav-
ing failed to frame a satisfactory law for
the prevention of rebating and the pun
ishment Of rebaters, the Congress Is
now trying, in the words Of Senator
CLAPP, to reach this question Of rates
alleged to be primarily high in them
selves" Having failed to destroy the
prime evil in transportation, a fruitful
source Of monopoly and a common in
justice and hardship to shippers, the
Congress proposes to prevent too high
rates, a by no means usual cause of
complaint, by putting rate making into
the hands of body Of inexperts.
Let us be entirely fair to Senator
CLAPP by quoting him in full, and even
his argument to the man:
W arc told constantly, and have been ever

To THE EDITOR OF The SuN-Sir: To all
appearance the Morocco conference 10 about

OF some kind which will be best understood
when the exact terms shall be made pubic.
AT the same time the full bearing OF 1t on other
pending questions will be seen: on Abysslnian'

and more Immediately perhaps on the latter.
as the three Powers RunsiR. aho
Austria. together with Italy. are directly In
terested for political and commercial reasons
In what may issue from the present compll-
cations In that part OF Europe. with which they
are In close territorial and economic touch.
The Moroccan question having been dis
posed OF. these four Powers VIII have to
come TO an agreement among themselves
on the Near Eastern question. much In the
same way that France supported by England
and In agreement with Spain has had ner
way In regard to Morocco. and the Seryian
and Macedonian questions afford the neces-
sary opening for some kind OF settlement
there. The Servian Government after all
has not Asreed to the Austrian demands, as
was expected, but has. on the contrary re-
signed rather than do so.
NJ. Stoyanovitoh, the Servian emie VINO
Is q strong man in his way. saw that to sur
render at once to Austria meant probable rev.
olution for his country and Individual danger
for himself and colleagues. and evidently
decided TO play q delaying game and at the
same time escape from the personal dihicui-
tles by resignLng. 1t is pretty certain that
King Peter will have some difficulty In getting
any responsible man 20 form o Ministry that
will dare to accept the Austrian demands
in defiance Of the popular antagonlsm to such
a policy, and much therefore will depend on
whether the Austrian Government feeis
itself strong enough to force things while
going. through It's own internal. political
troubles and awaiting the result OF the cleo
fIona in Hungary.
Should it do 90, there may still be some
breathing time for the Seryians and their
Bulgarian allies, but unless the three former
partners In the old D~relkaiserbund are hope
leesly at variance among themselves II can
only be q short respite.
The balance that has been altered by the
result OF the Morocco conference may be
redressed at the eastern end of the Mediter-
ranean by agreement or force. but in either
case under quite different conditions. as re-
CARDS the Western Powers, to those that pre-
vailed at AlgectTas. and with results that
might conceivably nuliify the moral and
material effect Of the settlement arrived at
there.

tional settlements OF questions regarding

cation, II has left things In a more lndetermi-

TaxlnK the RECORD OF Mor,GsEes.

To THE EDIToR OF THE SUS-Sir: Such a
bitter hostility has recently been manifested
against the mortgage tax bin that there now
seems little doubt OF it's repeal. but no greater
mistake can be made by our representative
at Albany than by enacting in it's stead a
law for a recording fee on mortgages.
Any action Of this kind or nature would be
deleterious in the last degree TO vitality i'm
portant industrial pursuits. for such a measure
would necessarily embody the most obnoxious
features of the original act and drive capital
away to more congenial localities.
Some years ago an eminent authority on
this subject advised that there should be cut
in stone upon the State Capitol this sentence,
replete with good common sense: Never tax
anything that could run away. or that could.
or would. come to YOU"
To which Mr.. Frank J. Bell of our Comp
%troller's office adds: The relief Of personal
property from taxation would attract capital,
and it's presence would by the infallible rule
increase real estate values, and ,theTeupon
our rate OF taxation would no doubt decline.
Rural districts and smaller cities being az
feoted more seriously by our present laws
would upon the enactment Of statutes exempt
proportionately than New York city, and this
would be the keynote to abandoned farms
and wasted lands"
point Of view Il is evident that the intent
and purpose Of the existing act and that of
It's DfOpOSeu huCcetsuT are uibHOnest anu
deceiving, for no one in his senses will believe
and mortgage will ever be the sufferers in
such transactions, for by cunning evasion
and discrimination the unfortunate borrowers
will in the end have to bear the financial
burden.

starving household. The father. not the
mother, had the right Of custody over
children. Now, on the other hand, not
only in New York but in many another
State of the Union the law gives a mar
ried woman not merely the right to her
own earnings but also the guardianship
OF her children. Indeed, in New York
legislation has improved so signally the
status of a married woman that. ac-
cording to a familiar saying, what is her
husbands is hers and what is hers is
her own. For the amazing change that
has been effected in this particular dur
ing the last half century American mar
ried women are more indebted to SUSAN
Il. ANTHONY than to any other member
of their sex.
AS for the movement orequal political
rights, of which Miss ANTHONY has been
80 long the protagonist, it has had some
sporadic successes, but in most commune
ties has met with inf1exible resistance.
In several American States woman
has attained full political equality. In
others she has been partially enfran-
ohised, being allowed to vote only on
certain questions and being eligible only
for certain functions. In New Zealand
and in some OF the Australian colonies
woman has the parliamentary suffrage,
but in the United Kingdom she has not
yet gained it and indeed seems further
of from it than she was two or three
decades ago. -
II we survey Miss ANTHoNT's life as
q whole we must recognize that che ac-
complished a vast amount Of solid, dura-
able and bene1oent work. She may be
looked upon as the MOSES Of the move
ment for Women's Rights. She brought
her sex out Of the Wilderness wherein
for centuries they had been subject to
grave legal disabilities and to an unfair
disbarment from educational and pro-
f~essional opportunities. Even as re-
CARDS equality Of political rights she
brought her sisters to the border Of the
Promised Land, and, as we have said,
her hope was constant that eventually
they would enter into it.
