AID WORTH $50. 900 A WORD.

The old advertising man pointed to
an advertisement, yellow with age, that
was pasted in his scrapbook:
Settlers Wanted-To take up land
in the region of the Upper Lehigh river,
on long credit, at S. an acre. Pay for
same in timber, beechnuts, work, shin
giles, maple sugar, fish, game, or any
other product. natural or cultivated, of
the forest or soil"
That want 'ad,'" said the old man,
signing, appeared in a Philadelphia
paper in 1915, and those who answered
it found it worth to them $50, 100000 a
word. Had my father answered it, as
he thought of doing, might be riding
in my own touring car to-day.
A certain Henry Drinker, who has q
host of descendants in Philadelphia,
bought in the early part of the century
25.OO0 acres of land for 100000 on the
Lehfgh. It was forest land, and Drink
er expected to make a fortune out of
it. But no settlers came, and Drinker
died disappointed.
His son, a believer in advertising,
put in this little ad. It worked. It
brought settlers, and the settlers flour
ished, cutting timber, making maple
sugar. fishing and cunning for the
market. farming and so on.
Then all of a sudden, it was dis
covered that under those $500 acres
that had been offered at IS an acre,
payable in beechnuts, valuable mines
of coal and iron lay hid. Capital to
work the mines poured in. The city of
Scranton sprang up in a night. Many
a mans S. acre of land proved worth
millions Of dollars.
But for that little want ad OF 1915,
the Pennsylvania coal fields might be
still unknown. That want ad opened
up the district. 1t brought to the earths
surface all that hidden store of coal
and iron. 1t built a city. Therefore to
estimate the ads value at s50,000000
word is to be conservative"

OPPONENTS OF
The NEW SPELLING

NEW YORK. Nov. s.-Indirectly
President Roosevelt and Andrew Car
negie were alluded to as cranks and
crazy fanatics at a mass meeting at the
rooms of the board of education to
consider the application of the simplifi-
| ed spelling board to have the new
| tangled photography forced on the
school children-"tried ON the dogs" as
one of the speakers expressed it.
| Rossiter Johnson, the author, ap-
peared at the meeting with a protest
SO numerously signed by well-knoWr
| literary people and educators as to in
dictate there is already a large and
| organized revolt against the system.
which is extending 10 every part Of the
country.
Professor Brander Matthews. of Col
umbia, chairman Of the slmpilfled
spelling board, openly admitted he
would not use the new spelling if hs
was writing another novel, as it might
hurt the sale of the books.
1t was a hot meeting from start to
finish. The first speaker was Professor
Matthews, who declared the English
language was the worst of all modern
languages, freakish, violent and abb
surd. He asked the committee of the
school board to authorize the new spell
ling in the schools. He apologized for
the much -criticiZed word thru which
appears in the list of 800 words sent
out by the simplified spelling board,
and said the board was not responsible
for It, but the National Educational
Association.
ROSSiter Johnson attacked the whOls
simplified spelling scheme. 1t would not
save space or diminish the size OF
books. Poor spoilers would still spell
poorly, no matter how short the words.
The new spelling would obscure the
etymology, and destroy their histori-
cal significance. Many words would
look so much alike it would strain tho
eye to read them. He read these ex-
tracts from letters he had received
about the innovation:
Edith Wharton called it dissertation
of our speech
Professor Marvin r. Vincent of I'm
ion Theological Seminary, wrote that
he ''detested the whole business
Julian Hawthorne said a simplified
speller would murder his own mother
and dishonor her grave"
Molly Elliott Seawell wrote: Il have
much pleasure in signing the inclosed
protest against the crazy spelling advo-
Gated by certain cranks of high and
low degree. L think it violation of
good morals. 1t would put out of court
guage. L am glad to know that the

Professor Taylor, of Vassar, said: Il

Professor John NJ. C1eary, of Ford
ham College, said teaching simplifed
spelling to some, with the authority to
enforce it on all, would tend to create

Not HyattSyille Alone.

In commenting upon the death OF an
unfortunate woman in the vicinity OF
EVANSVILLE last October. and the failure
of the authorities of Prince George coun-
ty to produce results in investigating the
occurrence. The Times referred last
Monday to 1.-THE stain on Hyattsville. +"
The contention was that while this muir
der went unpublished. If a murder was
committed, the law officers of Prince
George county and the solid citizens of
Hyattsville were alike under a cloud.
and the hope which inspired the edi-
torial was that this paper might add
thereby to the incentive for thorough
investigation and resolute action.
A letter came to this Office Tuesday
from a citizen of Hyattsville. 1t was
published yesterday. and those who read
il know that the writer's purpose was TO
make plain the fact that all the persons
supposed TO be most intimately con-
cerned in the woman's death lived three
miles from the village. None OF the
parties connected with the case" says
the correspondent, were residents of
Hyattsville The scene of the crime. II
there was one, IS as far from Hyatts-
willie as Chevy Chase is from Washing
ton proper"
1t is clear The Times has done Hyatts-
Vile an injustice h'rom the facts that
the inquest was held there, the coroner's
jury made up of the residents of that
suburb, and the agitation over the
womar's death conferred on the town,
this paper had come TO associate the
happening too directly with it, Per-
ceiving that to be the case, The Times
does not hesitate now to acknowledge
its mistake.
But The Times does not mean to with
draw its opinion as to the need for fur
ther inquiry and action In this matter.
The showing of fact Is only too strong
that murder was almost certainly COM
mitted. To ignore such a showing is TO
encourage lawlessness-and the number
of those who will offend in that wise.
il nothing further Is done. includes all
the people of Prince George county, not
excepting those who live in Hyattsville
The record of Prince George county was
not too good before this woman's dread
full death. Until every reasonable step
has been taken to clear away the mys-
terry which now envelops the occurrence.
the whole OF Prince George county, not
Hyattsvile alone, will bear the stain.
That is the prospect which The Times
commends for the consideration of the
good citizens of Prince George.

Where Man Is Conquered.

The present entburst of Vesuvius. only
one in a long line of manifestations of
fury, reminds the world in a startling
and pathetic way how impotent man
still Is to avert natural catastrophes. A
volcano has no bowels OF compassion,
nor has any skilled engineer vet learned
how TO provide artificial vents for its
fires and gases. IT is q treacherous thing.
and it even Stimulates death for the APP
parent purpose of lulling the suspicious
OF mankind that il may wreak the more
complete disaster.
But Vesuvius is no hypocrite. For
ages it has been showing its temper. and
there are records Of its ferocIty even be
