If the slight changes in the spelling of the 300 words proposed wholly or partially meet popular approval then the changes will become permanent without any reference to what public officials or individual private citizens may feel: if they do not ultimately meet with popular approval they will be dropped and that is all there is about it. They represent nothing in the world but a very slight extension of the movement which has made agTi- cultural implement makers and farm CTS write blow instead of plough, which has made most Americans write honor without the somewhat absurd and superfiuous 'u' and which is even now making people write program without the me just as all people who speak English now write bat, set. dim. sum and fish instead of the Elizabethian 'batte'. 'sette'. 'dimme'. summe' and 'fyshe'. which makes us write public, almanac, era, fantasy and wagon instead of the 'publick', 'almanack'. 'aera' 'phantasy' and 'wag- gOn' of our great grandfathers.
 Tt is no attack on the language Of Shakespeare and Milton because it is In some instances a going back to the forms they used, and in others merely the extension of changes which. as re- gards other words, have taken place since their time. IL is not an attempt to do anything far-reaching or sudden or violent, or indeed anything very great at all. It is merely an attempt to cast what slight weight can properly be cast on the side of the popular forces which are endeavoring to make our spelling a little less foolish and fantastic. Sincerely yours
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT.''

SINCLAIR'S new NOVEL
The FinanCIer" Deals With Scandals Of
High Society

Pirtsburg, Kansas, Aug, 13,--
From the little town Of Girard. the
Mecca OF American Socialists and
the homo Of q Socialist paper OF
wide circulation comes an oXplana-
ton Of the recent visit OF Upton
Sinclair to Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.
according to a member Of the editor
ial STAFF Of the Girard paper, tho
youthful author of Tho Jungle" has
ben investigating the skeletons in di-
vers Pittsmrg closets in search Of
materials for n new story which is
! likely, when published, to cause a
storm worse than that created by
his earlier effort
" The Financicr' will be the name
of the new novel; said the Girard
editor in an interview. ut will por-
tray another side of tho social pic
turo from that depicted in "Tho Jun
gle" 1t will show what becomes Of
the enormous profits piled mp by
the slaves of the monopolists, It
will expose the scandals, intrigues,
immortality and social rottonncss of
what is called high society. And
It will he drawn from life. Mr., Sim
clair has recently made several trips
to Pittsburg, Newport and other cen
tiers of wealth and fashion and in
the pages of his book there will no
pear, in the guise Of fiction, char
acter studies of prominent leaders
of the smart set which all who know
them may recognize. Their fOllios
and Grimes will be depicted with an
unsparing pen, and tho Thaw-Whitc-
Belmont Schwab- Cory-llartio gang of
plutes will come in for such an ar
raingnment as they have never be
fore received, OF course, the story
will be pronounced immortal and m
decent, and it may be- But it will
also he true"
That the Giard editor speaks as
one having authority is certain, since
"The Financicr" like its companion
story, "The Jungle" is written by his
direction and viii be first published
as serial in his paper.
Although not generally known, the
idea Of "The Jungle originated in
Kansas, the story having been writ
ten at tho solicitation of the Girard
Socialist paper, Sinclair receiving a
cash consideration of $500 to under
take the work

CAKE AN OLD INSTITUTION.
The Ancients Made and Ate 1t. but 1t
Was a Simple Affair.

The ancients made cake, but it was
not the rich, highly seasoned and fla
vored CONNECTION which we indulge in
nowadays. They had plain cakes made
with -four and water, some of them
without a suspicion Of sweet or flavor
Some OF them We're not unlike our
plainest crackers and were often eaten
as we eat bread.
Wedding cake was an institution
among them, as with us. but the cake
was plain one and was broken above
the head of the bride as she went to
her new home. This was a special fea
ture of Roman marriages 1000 years
ago. The breaking of the cake was
part of a solemn ceremony All of the
cakes of ancient history are plain and
simple. 1t IS only as we come down to
more modern times that we hear of
spices and fruits and all of the rich
and luxurious ingredients in which
present day cakemakerS delight. In
Queen EliZabeth's time spice cakes and
buns were eaten at weddings. From
these the fashion and fancy grew for
all sorts of elaborate and deliciouSly
unwholesome combinations until there
seems to be a perpetual struggle for
something new and more unusual to
stir into the cake of the period.
