PRINCIPAL YODER ADDRESSED
SUMMER SCHOOL.

w OhmLN OChOOL.
Previous to the close of the Sum-
mer School Superintendent A. H. Yo-
der. OF the Tacoma city schools. ad-
dressed the students. He said in
part:
Grammar is good thing. when
1t helps one to speak in a better wav.
but it is not good thing when it
hinders one in speaking. For thous-
ands of years our language has served
US; and late in the reign of language,
schools have made rules concerning it's
use, and the improper use of such
rules seems at times to defeat the
purpose of human speech. ! have had
occasion to observe teachers who
could riddle the greatest masterpieces
of literature that the human mind has
produced, and yet could not write a
printable item for the local paper.
Their mission in life was to criticise,
rather than to create.
Early in the history of our race,
language was received by word OF
mouth. Today, we receive the Ian
guage almost entirely through the
printed page of the newspaper or
book. The result is we are threatened
with the loss of much of the beauty
of our language. Where we formerly
were charmed by the music of words,
we learn to ferret out technicalities OF
grammar, and discuss sentence con-
struction. -
Discussing the use of slang the
speaker said:
"Slang belongs to the period of
adolescence. The child uses slang,
learns it quickly, rejoices in its use
and believe it is not always best to
practice the little fellow in the mast
cry of his letters to the complete ex-
clusion of this freedom of speech. II

you will teach him to be two faced.
In your presence he will speak as you
wish, and when at liberty. will speak
according to his inclinations.
"When l was principal of the San
Francisco Normal School there came
to the institution a young lady from
Dillon, Montana. Her name was
Blanche Lamont. She was of quiet
refined demeanor, with something o
romance in her disposition, and mad
fairly good progress in her studies
After she had been at the Normal fol
several months, l learned that she
was unaccountably absenting hersel

stated, and neither she. nor traces
of her could be found. After a searcl

Secretary TAFT
STATES POSITION
NOT a CANDIDATE, BUT WOULD
NOT DECLINE PRESIDENTIAL
NOMINATION..
EXPRESSES DOUBTS AS
TO HIS AVAILABILITY
Intimates He Had Nothing to Do with
Starting Report That He Was in
Field-Foraker Men Charged with
Its Origin.

Washington, Dec. 31-Secretary
Taft gave out the following statement
Saturday regarding his attitude to-
ward the presidential nomination in
1908:
For the purpose of relieving the
burden imposed by recent publications
upon some OF my friends among the
Washington newspaper correspond
ents of putting further inquiries to me,
| wish to say that my ambition is not
political, and that am not seeking
presidential nomination, that do not
expect to be the Republican candidate,
if for no other reason because OF
what seems to me to be objections to
my availability, which do not appear
to lessen with the continued discharge
of my official duties; but that I am
not foolish enough to say that in
the improbable event that the oppor-
tunity to run for the great office Of
president were to come to me, I
should decline it, for this would not
be true
Inspired by Widespread Report.
The statement issued by Secretary
Taft was inspired by the publication
throughout the country of what pur-
ported to be an authorized statement
from sources close to him in which
it was made to appear that his re-
ceptiye candidacy for president had
been announced. The article in ques-
ton was rallying cry for his friends
all over the country to begin an active
campaign to create sentiment in his
behalf. While Secretary Taft does not
say SO in so many words, it is known
that he has nothing to do with in
spring the article in question
Laid to Foraker Sources.
An effort has been made for some
time by the friends of Senator For
aker to smoke out" Secretary Taft
on this political question. The print
ed story is said to have originated
from Foraker sources, and it is be-
lieved by the Taft men to have been
encouraged at this time when Senator
Foraker and President Roosevelt are
engaged in controversy over the
BROWNSVILLE ARRAY, OF the result of
which it has been said Secretary Taft
will be the residuary legatee in Ohio.
The article also made it appear that
President Roosevelt was behind the
Taft movement, although not openly.
The Foraker men deny that they had
anything to do with the circulation of
the story, and ascribe it to friends of
Secretary Taft who have talked with
him recently

FERRY SINKS IN HARBOR
PANIC FOLLOWS A COLLISION ON
HUDSON RIVER.
Many Persons Have Narrow Escape
Big Boat Nearly Cut in Two
by Crash.

New York, Dec 31-Many lives
were imperiled and mad panic re-
suited among. passengers on the Erie
railroad ferry Paterson, when that
vessel was struck Saturday by a huge
freight lighter in the middle of the
Hudson river and sunk.
The Paterson was cut nearly in two,
and only the most desperate work on
the part of the crews of both vessels
saved scores of men, women and chill
dren from going to the bottom of the
river with the ferry boat. The ferry
sank SO quickly that the crew was
unable to transfer Is horses on board
to the lighter and they went down
with the boat. The horses belonged
to Swift & Co., of Chicago.
The Paterson was on it's way to the
Twenty-third street New York; slip
from Jersey City when the collision
occurred. 1t was still dark and the
air was thick with fog. The fog is
blamed for the collision
The freight lighter struck the Pater-
son amidships with terrific force and
the big ferry boat at once began to
sink. The passengers were terror
stricken and many tried to leap over
board, but were restrained by the
crew. They were rushed on board the
lighter, which stuck to the ferry until
all were taken off.
AS the water came up around the
horses they lunged and reared VIC
lently. Some were released by the
drivers before the men had to rush
to the locks above. There was no
escape for the animals, however, and
they could only swim about, in the in
closure. The deck came down or
them, and all were drowned.

REIGN OF Terror
At LODI, RUSSIA
SIX PERSONS SLAIN IN STREETS
AND SITUATION BECOMING
ACUTE.
AUTHORITIES PREPARE
TO MEET EMERGENCIES
Believed That Workmen Will Soon
Overthrow Fomenters of Disorder
and Resume Labors-Many Fac
tories Closed Down.

Lodz, Russia, Dec 31-The situa-
ton here is rapidly becoming acute
Sangufnary encounters were frequent
Saturday. Up to $3.50 p. NJ. six per-
sons were killed and - wounded.
The authorities, at first supine, are
now more active and are preparing to
meet all emergencies. It is generally
anticipated that the Workmen will
eventually secure the upper hand over
the socialists, drive out the agita-
tors and resume work within a few
days.
The principal Polish banks say
they do not fear any financial difficult
ties among the firms which have been
forced to close down their works.
Factories to Close Down.
The proprietors of seven of the
largest factories here, employing 10O,-
900 persons, have announced their in
tention Of closing their establishments
in consequence Of the system of ter
rorism inaugurated by the extreme So
cialists. The announcement. caused
excitementa among the inhabitants gen.
orally of this. city, as well as among
the better classes of the factory en-.
ployes, who fear that when this great
army of unemployed persons begins
to feel the want of bread, rioting will
occur. The factory employees as rule
are without any means to support
themselves and their families during
the hard winter prevailing. One of the
principal mill owners informed cor
respondent of the press that the en-
ployers were compelled to close down
because the militant socialists con-
troll the entire city and are numbering
all those who do not accept their
demands, which makes the continu-
ance Of business impossible.
Scores of Workmen Slain.
The socialists here Friday muir
dered no less than score of national
list workmen in this city and vicin-
ity, and they threaten to organize
street riots and compel citizens at the
point of revolvers to feed and lodge
the unemployed.
The manager of the Scheiblers cot
ton mills and the foreman and engi-
neer of another factory were muir
dered during the night by socialists,
and the engineers of those and other
establishments, fearing assassination,
refused Saturday morning to return
to their work. Consequently, four of
the largest cotton mills shut down
early Saturday and others closed in
the evening. The four which locked
out their men Saturday morning were
the two Scheibler mills and the Foz-
nanski and Grohman mills, which col
1ectiyely employ about $4,000 men, but
