At the annual banquet of the AS
sociated Press members held We'd
nesday in New York city Mark Twain
the veteran huncrst, made AN elo-
qrent plea to the Associated Press to
adopt the reform system of spelling
in Its dispatches.
He said that the Associated Press
and the sun are the two principal
sources Of light and that the people
could co without one us well as the
other. While the East Oregonian
does not agree with the humorist in
this statement, yet I commcnds his
efforts to secure the simpler form of
spelling and prints herewith portion
of his excellent address on the sub.
ject. He said,
am here to make an appeal % the
nations In behalf of the simplified
spelling. / have come here becauze
they cannot all be reached except
through you. There are only two
forces that can caray light to all the
corners of the globe, only two--the
sun In the heavens and the Associated
Press down here. 1 may seem to be
flatterlng the sun, but / do not mean
It so; / am meaning only to be just
and fair all around.
You speak with million voices; no
one can reach so many races, so many
hearts and intellects as you, except
Rudyard Kipling, and he cannot dc
It without your help. If the Associat-
ed Press will accept and uze our SIM
plified forms and thus spread them
to the ends Of the earth, covering the
whole spacious planet with them as
with q garden of flowers, our diff
culties are at an end.
Soon Get Uzcd to Change.
Every day of the 3G5 the only pages
Of the worlds countless newspapers
that are read by all the human beings
and angels and devils can read
are those pages that are built out of
Associated Press dispatches. And so
/ beg you, / beseech you-oh, l inn
plore you-to spell them in our sim
plified form. DO this daily, constant
ly, persistently for three months-only
three months-it is all ! ask. The
hfallible result? Victory, victory all
down the line.
