ARGENT issue of the Outlook contains an article by
Brander Matthews in which he valiantly champions
reform in the spelling of the English language. Mr..
Matthews is not the only who believes in revis
ing the language. Recently this subject received
great deal of discussion, not only in this country
but in England and on the continent. They all agree
that the spelling should conform to the pronunciation
of the word but like all reforms there appears to be
divergence of opinion many points
This is subject on which men have differed
ever since DR.. Johnsons dictionary appeared. Some
persons, while very consistent in other matters per-
tanning to accepted standards of style, would not
think Of contracting though to tho, although to aAho
and through to thru. They look upon these innova-
tors as decorators of the language, and not for
moment will they allow their prerogatve of the use Of
words to be supplanted by the absurd dctum
reformers On the other hand, those who do not ap-
prove of the change, considered old fogies
tiques who welded to such words as programme
armour, honour, etc. Then there are those who de-
part from correct usage because they wish to be diff
ferent from others. They wish to be law unto
themselves that their standard is the most logical
one in existence; and that-pure egotism-other
writer's should adopt their system. This difference
of opinion among spelling reformers is what retards
the general acceptance of the suggestions agreed up
In time the language will be thoroughly revised;
but many years will elapse before the numerous
authorities will be willing to agree on anything
definite

RltSSlO'S Constitution.


The revolutionary leaders in'Russia greatly
interested in the forthcoming douma. They hope to
laws enacted that will realize their expectations
laws for which many of them have died during
the past year. The Russian people be satisfied
with anything less than free PRESS free speech an
untrammeled judiciary, and free people. The
bureaucracy claim the people not mentally fit to
govern themselves and that under present conditions
it would be suicidal to extend to them an unlimited
franchise. This unftness cry is puerile. What
kingdom, or government, has not raised a similar
plant when it realized that it's powers were being
curtailed?
This false alarm is hoary with age; buff it were
really true, it proves the incapacty of the present
form of government and is one of the most logical
reasons that can be advanced as to why change is
desirable. Government for the few and slavery for
the masses is disappearing from the earth. The
of Russia cannot avoid the inevitable. Liberty
must come and that liberty must be comprehensive
and embracing the ideals which predominant in other
up-to date countries.

GAMBLING DYinS. Out.

CONSIDERING the widespread interest that has
been devoted to all kinds of speculation, it is but
natural that gambling should receive some attention.
This has, to the CONSERVATION Of those who have
been conducting game Almost every city of
any size has prohibited this form of robbery There
was time when the patrons Of these places stood
show of winning, but nowadays they win only at the
pleasure of the operators The Inducements winning
five to one is SO tempting that even the most tmid
jay is enticed to try his luck
If gambling is entirely abolished there will befew
persons who will regret it. These few will be the
gamblers, they will be compelled to work instead of
being loafers and rufians.

Peculiar Characteristics.

CERTAIN European gentleman has discovered
that there few d-headed men among the GRIM
inal class He does not attempt to explain the ex-
traordinary phenomenon but ventured the statement
that he thought it might be due to the fact that most
criminals reform before the bald headed period begins
Few persons have observed this fact. Nevertheless,
it is true However, little Importance is attached to
the problem, because everyone knows that the ma
Jority Of the detained are comparatively youthful
It will not be long before some observing GRIM
inologist will be commenting on the number of eye
shades worn by prisoners and why they are worn.
This information will he interesting as that about
the paucty Of bald headed men. If this gentleman
had carried his Investigations little further, he
might have found that few criminals are married.
This might shed additional light the proposition
and account for the phenomenon.

The Field of the Cloth of GoiG.

The introductory spectacle. 1.-The
Field of the Cloth of Gold" put on
under the personal direction of Albert
Ringing, Is an attempt on the part of
the management to get away from the
stereotyped programme of the ira vel
ling circus The wish to infuse variety
into the standard entertainment has
been felt by all leading showmen for
many years, and this present sugges-
ton, as carried out by Ringling Bros,
is a great success in this direction.
Among the historic characters appe..r-
ing in the presentation are the King of
England Henry WILL, the Queen
Catharine, of Arragon, Cardinal
Wolsely, Anne Boleyn, the King of
France, Francis L., the Queen of
France, the Duke of Bourbon, with
members of the nobility of the two
countries, soldiers, musicians, dancing
girls, ETC., without number. The
presentation is made as elaborate
and gorgeous as the conditions allow,
and is unquestiOnably a valuable ad-
ditlOn to the programme.
This grand spectacle is a special
feature of Ringling Bros. show which
exhibits here, Sunday, Nov. II and
