THE PRESIDENT CONcURs.
Will Withdraw Order and Old fash
Toned Spelling Will Be Used.

Washington, Dec. 13-President
Roosevelt will withdraw his SimDlified
smelling order to the public printer ANA
all executive orders will be again
printed in the old fashioned style Rep
reSentative Lands of the joint Com
gressional committee on spelling had Il
conference with the President today
who said that he did not wish to have
spelling Overshadow matters of great
Importance and expressed 4 Willingness
to revoke his order for the new spelling
in case the House of Representatives
should go on record as opposed to the
system. Accordingly late this after
non Mr.. Lands introduced the follow
ing resolution in the House:
Resolved. That it is the sense of
the House of Representatives. that
hereafter in printing records, docu-
ments or other publications authoriZ-
cd by law, ordered by Congress OF
either branch thereof, or emanating
from the executive departments, their
branches or bureaus, and independent
officers of the government. the govern
ment printing office should observe AMI
not altar the standard of photography
prescribed in generally accepted die
tionaries Of the English language"
The measure was passed without n
dissenting vote. although Mr.. Gillette
of Massachusetts. who made a fight for
Simplified spelling before the committee
on appropriations and has been regard
ed as the champion of the Presidents
attitude, explained that he did no.
wish to give the impression that he had
changed his mind. Mr.. Gillette said
that he saw that the House was against
the innovation and consequently he
bowed to its will.
The system of spelling was put into
effect by the President during the re-
cess of Congress and all public doc
umentS Supplied to the executive de-
partmentS have Eeen printed in the
Simplitied way. These documents have
been pouring in on Congress ever since
the opening day. much to the dissatis-
faction of Il large ma jority of the MEM
berS of the House. As a result the
government printing office used two
forms of spelling in public printing,
the old method for Congress and the
reformed method in the executive doc
umentS. This caused confusion and
comment unfavOrable to the reform
and finally was made an issue between
the legislative and executive depart
mcnts, the judicial department having
previously frOwned upon the Presi-
dents order.
