New York Times:
Thomas R. Lounsbury, professor Of
English literature in Yale, in the cur.
rent Harper's Magazine, comes to the
rescue Of such apparent redundancles
as "haye got" and widow woman"
and indicts successfully those who
make fetch of conciseness. Brevity
is frequently bald and jejune, the pro-
fessor says, and compression may par.
take OF the nature Of pemmican, quite
unfit for regular consumption. There
are unconscious pleonasms. too, to
which the most fastidIous trimmers Of
speech have become Injured. Luke
originally meant "tepid, but the mod.
ern word is lukewarm;' while 4there
we're many persons present" may be,
but seldom is, compressed into "many
persons were present." No English.
man would say''I go not to>Europe this
summer vet his Anglo-saxon for:
bears employed no other than this
curt form of expression.
Gymnasts Of literary power there be
whose thoughts stand forth In scant
and sublime attire. But Professor
Lounsbury is right, Of course, in the
contention that It is exactly the same
with the clothing Of our IDEAS as with
the clothing of our persons" which,
would make the costume of a gymnast
unfit for a Fifth avenue promenade.
Much that, strictly speaking, is super.
fous in our outer garb makes for com.
fort and decorum. Compare the weak
effect on the Roman mob in "Jullus
Caesar Of the stole breyity Of Brutus
with Mark. Anthony's graceful and
powerful grafton. The questions of
fullness circumstances OF style is one,
at bottom, Of what Herbert Spencer
calls economy Of attention"-of ut.

times, by redundant salutatlon than
by proceeding at once to talk business.
Lift up your heads, o We. gates: and
be ye lifted up, We everlasting doors
possesses majesty and strength which
conciseness would utterly destroy.

Before the railroads waste too much
money in contrasting the validity OF
two cent fare regulation they might do
well to ascertain II the game Is worth
the candle. In other words, 1t may
be demonstrated that there is more
actual profit in two cent traffic than In
the higher rates. There Is no ques.
ton but the two cent fare Will pro.
mote more travel, and for the sake OF
the reduction the public will tolerate
moro crowaing and discomfort than
they would under d three cent fare.
