the Affirmative and will prove bv Nor

that the kingdom Of God is not here,
that the Mormon church is not the

IN SPLENDID RECOGNITION.

The Irrigation Congress at Boise is
now in full swing. The attendance
there is certainly gratifying to all low
ers OF the development Of the West.
II is thoroughly representative, prac-
tical, able, far seeing, and nationally
patriotic. 1t is fit that this Congress
should receive the recognition that it
| has had. and that no previous gathering
| of the kind has ever received, in the
| approving letter Of the President and
! the personal visit and encouragement
| by word Of mouth from the Vice-Presi-
dent. A Congress that is thus recog-
nized and that has the direct and EN-
phatic encouragement which 1T has re-
ceived from tho two highest officials OF
this Government, is certainly one the
importance Of which must be conceded
on every hand.
In the West and mountain region IL
has been known from tho first that the
irrigation question was the great-the
aramount-question in the develop
ment Of the country; but the Nation
at large has been slow to see this. With
the attention paid to this Congress,
however, by President Roosevelt and
Vice-President Fairbanks, there will
come to the people Of the
United States at large a re-
alization of the immense import
ance Of the reclamation projects which
che Government has undertaken
throughout this Western region, and Of
the value Of these to the whole Nation.
Nothing more propitious could have
happened for the benefit Of the irrlga-
tion cause than the personal attention
paid by the President and Vice-Presi-
dent to this session of the Irrigation
Congress at Boise. This attention, be-
sides the vast uplift that it will give
in public estimation to the irrigation
cause, was gracefully rendered, and
will be gratefully appreciated by the
people Of all the arid region. We trust
that this will not be the last occasion
on which the President and Vice-Presi-
dent of this Nation will give personal
attention to an Irrigation Congress;
but at least it is the first time that
such attention has been given from
such high sources, and the precedent
is all the more valuable on that account,
coming now.
The session Of the Irrigation Congress
at Boise bids fair to be the most mem
orable one in the fourteen years Of the
life of that body. The agitation begun
and kept up by that Congress and the
friends of it and OF the cause, resulted
in the immensely beneficial law known
as the Irrigation Act, whose benef-
cence we are just beginning dimly to
see The Congress, therefore, has done
mighty work, and we trust that it
will keep right along in the straight
forward, practical, commonsense course
which will earn for it from all the peo-
pie the utmost confidence and good will.

and enforce q vigorous English style in
spelling it seems to lie that is as much
as should at present be undertaken
When it is said that the desire is to
reduce the spelling to the phonetic idea,
spelling as the word is sounded, you run
against the fact that you scarcely find
any two persons who pronounce any
word exactly alike; and there are diff
ferences all over this country aud in
every province of Great Britain in this
very matter Of phonetics. If Great Brit
ain, or some particular part of Great
Britain, has a right to spell and pro
nounce phonetically, without regard to
what is now established usage, the like
right exists in every portion Of the
United States. That would then invite
not uniformity but dissimilarity in pro-
nunciation, and in spelling. and in
tones, so much so as to split the language
into fragments or dialects in case we
concede the proposition that words are
to be spelled as every person or as
every locality thinks they should be
pronounced.
Nothing is more alluring al first sight
than phonetic spelling. and nothing is
more disastrously appalling than an at
tempt to put that phonetic spelling into
practical use. For fifty years and more
there has been a propaganda Of this
kind, in the introduction of special let
ters, different characters, to represent
different sounds and in various lngeni'
Gus ways the effort has been made to
control the pronunciation of words by
alphabetical representation; but it has
been found in every case that this very
phonetic proposition is stumbling
block. Just as soon as the characters
were reduced to a system in some one
mans mind and represented phonetic
ally, 1T struck the next man as absurd;
he did not pronounce the words that
way at all; and so it has gone on until
now. This SimplIGed Spelling Board
now tries its hand, and so far as the
usage is good and uniform, its recon-
mendation ought to be received with re-
spect; it ought to be followed in a
good many cases, but in a good many
cases the spellings are bizarre, and 1T is
not the least likely that they will be ac-
cepted by the general public, much less
by literary and educated persons.

AS TO "sIMPLIFIED sPELL1NG.'

The announcement that President
Roosevelt has declared in favor of the
reformed or simplifed spelling has
brought that propaganda more distinct
ly before the public than ever before.
Last June the simplihed Spelling Board
sent out list of words, three hundred
Of them, in which it recommended this
simplifcation Of spelling.
The simplifcation referred chiefly to
words ending in ser" that are some
times spelled "re," such as "accout-
er,' "caliber,' "saber,' "sep-
ulcher,' "theater;" it dropped the
"g" from apothem" and the "me"
from program and the "te" from
"epaulet.' But it's most conspicuous
change was to drop the "ed" from such
words as Clipped" making it
"dipt," "kissed' making it exist, !"
dropped" making it "dropt,"
trapped" making it "rapt,"
wrapped" making it "wrapt," !"
"tossed' making it "tost," and
Clipped making it "tipt.' 1t also
dropped the "gh" from such words as
"thorough" making it "thoro," and
"through,' making it "thru."
AS to a good many Of these words, the
better usage for a long time had been
in accord with this simpli6ed spelling
as recommended, and especially as to
words like "odor' instead of "odour,"
"honor" instead Of honour" etc,
The better practice has been all the
time, in America at least and formerly
in England, to leave out the "u." But
as to the word programme" it is
neither phonetic nor correct to spell it
program; the pronunciation is not
the same, the sound is not the same
There Is no reason whatever for max
ing that change.
The change Of "ed" to "to as in
the words above quoted and "tipt' for
Clipped" F." "lookt" for "looked," etc.,
it is certain that this simpifed form
would be misleading for a good while.
We think that the simplifed Spelling
Board went too far in making that
recommendation, We are aware. Of
course, that there is authority for it. It
is also true that there is authority for
pretty much anything one might desire
to cite precedent. In the style Of
spelling of former times in England,
every writer seemed to think he had a
perfect right to spell every word as he
desired, and to spell it as many different
ways as he chosa. huf tho trouble }s
that in departing from well established
usage you do not establish anything but
mere variation. It is not at all likely
that this country will be able to carry
30 much of change as this proposed
in this "simplified spelling" If we
leave out the "u'' in such words as
"humor," and make the termination
as in "theater," "scepter,' etc, &C.
cord with the English termination

pendixes and generally straighten up

JUVENILE MOB WELL HANDLED.

Rochester Democrat snd ChronlcIe'
Give credit TO the Buffalo police for
clever strategy in dealing with a chill
dren's riot. AT Delaware and Humboldt
parks, on Tuesday, 10000 children from
s to Is years old assembled to see the
sports and enjoy free picnic. When the
time came for distributing boxes Of lunch
there was trouble. Big boys bowled lit
tie ones over. wild scenes Of disorder en-
sued, and many were hurt. 1t was out
OF the question TO use clubs on a crazy
Juvenile mob. and 1t was here that the
strategy came in. The police sent men
loaded with lunch boxes In all directions,
and each was Immediately followed by a
train of eager children. This thinned out
the main crowd. relieved the pressure,
and order was soon restored. 1t was a
happy thought and a fortunate way out
of a situation that was actually serious.
