SLANG.
May he Sanctioned by Usage Of Next
Generation.

Professor Edwin w Bowen, of Ran
dolph- Macon College. contributes to tho
Popular Science Monthly for February
an interesting article with The title
What Is Slans?' This is question OF
perennial interest, says tho Chicago Inter
Ocean. 1t is also orc that cannot he
answered definitely for the reason that
slang is idiom in tn" making and the
corruption of to-day may be sanctioned by
the usage of the next generation.
As Professor Bowen points out to the
purist slang is II uumitisatcd evil which
makes for the gradual corruption and
dccadence Of our NcrnaCular The cx-
tr"mists hold that it's banoful influence
Is sweeping over the English language
Ike n tidal wave. dobasing it and corrupt
ing its very sources.
Granting That tho English speaking
peoples ana we Americans in particular
are invotorate coincrs of words and
phrases and quick TO accept new verbal
f'hcities, there is nothing alarming in
this cry of corruption raised by the oX>
IRENE purists for Two reasons one is
that tn" history of language is tho history
Of c"rruption4. Tho other is that there
is no such thiu- as 4 language becoming
corrupt.
These two statements seemingly in
volve II paradox, but the explanation is
simple. Every EnElsh-spoaking person
to-day is using expressions that either vio-
late tho strict rules of grammar or disre-
gard tho principles of analogy or had
their origin in what we now consider
Nulgarity. These so called corruptions
are found all through the vocabulary.
On the other hand, as Professor Louns-
bury. of Yale, has pointed out. language
does not become corrupt for the reason
that it remains an instrument which will
be Just what those who use it choose to
make it. Tho words that constitute IL
have no real significance of their own; it
is the meaning that mon put INTO them
that gives them their efficacy. Language
does nothing more than reflect the char
acto and III, characteristics of those who
speak il.
Moreover, this cry Of corruption of the
Language IS an old, old cry. 1t has been
raised many times in the centurics--so Of
ten, in fact, that the feeling of the ped
ants ana purists reflects the traditional
attitude of professional men Of letters.
Dean Swift for example, became so
shocked by the slang of his day that he
appealed to the prime minister to become
the guide and curator of the English
tongue. lie also wrote vigorously ON the
subject, lie would haN" suppressed such
words as uuo and buutc" and battalons
ambassadors, operations and prelimin-
aries, all OF which have outgrown all
trace Of slang and are accepted as stand
ard English.
Thus SWfts efforts came to naught;
had the prime minister taken up his quar-
rel the result would have been the same
NO man makes a language. The decree
of the most powerful ruler is powerless
to predetermino the development Of the
language We know little about the laws
governing speech development but tho
English language, being living speech,
will go on developing.

THE BEST WAY.

When life has gone hard and you're weary

And the worlds spinning crooked with
you,
And the Landscape and sky are all twisted
awry.
And there isn't a thing you can do
TO help your affairs, ana all the world ;
cares
Have seemed to your shoulders to drift.
Just hunt out some duck who has had
haruer luck
And chuckle and give him lift
If you We loved a girl then don't be a
Because you've been given bump;
If she's thrown you down don't grumble
and frown,
And don't be Il double-dyed chump:
BE sandy, don't squeal, but bring Fortune
to heel.
Spread your sails to the air and don't
Hunt some other man who is down to
hard pan
And chuc.le and give him a lift.
Don't die of tho o.ues if money YOU lose.
Don't blow out your brains if you're

But tear on = grin and laugh and sail in
And treat the affair as a joke.

And clouds of disaster will rift;

Rush Chamblin at Point of Death
From Effects of Stabbing.
Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star
LEESBURG. Va, December Il, 1906.
Rush Chamblin, of MI Richard
Chambin of Unison, Loudoun county, was
dangerously, and probably fatally, wounded
Saturday afternoon by Mr.. Henry Williams,
also of Unison. Mr.. Chamblin was cut in
the left lung by Williams and lies in very
critical condition.
The cutting was the result it is said. of
an alteration about some corn for which
Mr. williams owed Mr.. Chamblin, and for
which, il is stated, he had refused to pay.
Saturday afternoon. while Mr. Williams
was husking corn for Mr.. Madison Mum
roe at the county almshouse, near Philo-
mont Mr.. Chambln, who was riding along
the road, saw him in the field and alighted
from his horse to interview him. When
Mr. williams saw Mr.. Chamblin coming he
began stoning him. fight ensued between
the two in which Mr.. Chamblin was dan
gerously cut in the left lung, as stated.
1t is feared by the attending physicians
that pneumonia will develop, in which case
it is hardly possible for the patient to re-
cover.
Mr. Chamblin has been married only a
few months, his bride being daughter of
Mr.. Madison Munroe, on whose property
the alteration occurred He is also a
brother of Mr.. Harry B. Chamblin of Lees
burg.

HOW TO KEEP UP PRICES

The farmers of Kansas are urging
that if the male shirt were heightened
one inch the slack in the cotton crop
would be taken up without difficulty.
There is no doubt about this any more
than there is that the proper place to
charge up the effervescence of the cot
ton crop is upon the consumer The
cotton crop is long, the price threat
ems to come down; make the man on
salary wear longer shirt at longer
price and the country is saved.
The cotton crop is not the only one
which may thus be regulated. There
is a great surplus of wheat. The
farmer doesn't know what to do NTH
it. 1t filters up his granary and re-
fuses to take itself off. The elevator
man offers nothing for it. The coun-
try is on the verge Of ruin. Up jumps
genius and DEGREES that every man,
woman and child shall eat two bowls
of you must have wheat-um instead
of one, and prosperity is preserved
Any time we are long on iron no doubt
the building laws can be made to call
for two iron posts to stand where one
stood before, and again bankruptcy is
postponed. Whenever the hogs refuse
to eat all the corn by natural methods
they can be stood on end by legislation
and the surplus poured into them.
Flexible currency may be all right
but what this country demands in or
der to have permanent prosperity is
an inflexible market for all our native
products, market which shall be al
ways high and which shall put the
whole burden of sustaining prosperity
where it belongs, on the bow-legged,
spindle shanked, sway-backed, and
generally unhandsome consumer. Plant
the boots on him. He is used to it and
