WHITE HOUSE SPELLING.

Roosevelt's Order Applies Only 20 His
Correspondence and Executive Matters.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-ofioials Of the
various executive departments are In a
quandary as to how far they ought to 60
in following the Presidents spelling re-
form ideas. Thus far no orders have come
from the President directing the use OF
the simplifed method Of spelling in the
OFFICIAL documents Of the various depart
ments. Each department has its printing
committee and representatives Of these
several committee have been in consulta-
ton In an effort to come to some agree
mont and understanding in the matter.
1t has been the general understanding
that the Presidents order relates only to his
W correspondence and the printing which
Is lone by executive order, that is, all doou-
ments emanating from the White House.
It Is believed, however, that the President
wishes to carry the reform further and
direct that the executive departments shall
also use the phonetic system. To be pre-
pared for such directions and to consider the
matter OF having reports which are SUBJ
mitted to the President printed in the new
style. the printing committees have taken
the subject under consideration.
II has been decided that before anything
further Is lone Public Printer Stillings shall
lave q conference with the President for
the purpose Of asoertaining his views and
wishes.
So far as printing done by order Of Con-
gress is concerned the Public Printer will
be obliged to follow the old style unless Con-
gress otherwise direots.
At Oyster Bay last night Secretary Loeb
said that the P~resident's order in regard to
phonetic spelling applied only to the official
correspondence Of the White House and the
Presidents own messages. Mr.. Loeb said
that conferences between Public Printer
Stillings and the chief clerks Of various
departments had taken place merely to CON-
slider changes In the book Of style, which is
guide in the matter Of punctuation, figures
OF type and other points Of printing and had
no bearing whatever on the question Of
phonetic spelling.

THLNGS NOT IN DOUBT.

Concerning the legal points involved in the
dispute over fares to COney Island there may be
ground for doubts and for differences of Opin-
ion. II is possible that Justice GaynOr's de-
cisiOn OF last week does not broadly apply to the
case. 1t is also possible that If il does thus
apply it may be reversed on appeal. All doubts
on these and other points should he cleared up
at the earliest possible moment But there are
some salient and essential facts in the case-in-
deed. the most Immediately conspicuous and
urgent OF all--on which there is and can prop
ery be no doubt whatever.
One is that such doubts do legitimatey
exist should be settled by decent legal processes
and not by rufianly riOting and assaults by or
upon the public Another is that while the rail-
road companies. they boast. and not the pO-
lice run the railroads. they do so and must do
so subject TO the fullest police power OF the
local government. A railroad is not i'm
perium In imperiO. Another point is that the
special police of a railroad company, while they
often serve valuable and. indeed. Indispensable
purposes. are not chartered bravOs free 10 COM
nit violence upon the public which the regular
municipal police would not commit. Again. the
regular municipal police are the servants Of the
whole public and not merely of some organized
or unOrganized part of it. To these things we
may add that there can be no doubt of the folly
on the part either Of corporation or OF the pub
lie, of Obstinately standing out for techncality
of doubtful validity. The average passenger
who resisted payment of a second fare suffered
a loss in one way or another, many times great
er than the disputed five cents. The railroad
companies also suffered losses. in disorganiZatiOn
of the days business and in the popular i'll will
which they incurred, far greater than all they
would have lost had they waived the collection
Of a second fare-and that entirely aside from
the possibility of further losses through in
Vulnerable damage suits should the ultimate
decision Of the courts he against their double
fare contention
These things are not IN doubt. Their truth
and pertinence must be obvious and indisputa-
BILE to every reflective mind. That they were
ignored. with disastrous and disgraceful results
on Sunday must probably be regarded as an
other demonstration OF the tendency, even of an
American crowd TO become a mob.
