CALLS 1T GREAT HERITAGE.
Senator Lodge Believes in chershins
the English Language as 1t Is.

Such a language, with its history
and traditions, with it's literature and
it's unequaled richness, is a great
heritage, and the duty devolves upon
all to whom it belongs as a birth
right to guard and cherish it, to pre-
serve its purity and strength. and in
order that it may retain its command
ing place not to encourage and cult
vate differences, but strive to secure
the greatest possible uniformity in its
use in all quarters, of the globe,
writes Senator Fl. G. Lodge in the
June Scribner.
The importance of uniformity in
usage, not only to the quality, but to
the growth and spread of the lam
guage, can hardly be overestimated.
Uniformity in pronunciation cannot
be hoped for, because variations in
pronunciation will range from the
strange dialects of remote and isolat-
ed communities to those fine shades
of difference which exist even among

Song Birds for Puget Sound.

Seattle PostIntelligencer.-Dr
Charles M. McCutcheon Of Tacoma is
proving a public beaefactor in his
efforts tc people the woods bordering
on Puget Sound with song birds,
Skylarks brought from Liverpool last
fall by DR.. McCutcheon and freed
near Tacoma have been heard from
in many places. They are sweet
singers, hardy enough to thrive in a
new climate, and DR.. McCutcheon is
so much encouraged by the success
of his first effort that he has ordered
another shipment of birds from Eng
land.
There is no doubt but that the
wooAJ of western Washington. par
ticularly along Puget Sound. can be
made the home of many songsters OF
noble quality and rare plumage. and
certainly they add much to the Beau
ty and general attractiveness of the
woods. DR.. McCutcheon says truth
fully "our forests are desolations OF
silence and our fields lack the life
and song of birds that make other
localities charming" The work he
is doing will alter the situation, and
he should be encouraged and aided
in his worthy efforts.
The beauty of the woods will be
greatly enhanced by the color, songs
and activity of birds. DIR. McCutch
con has demonstrated the possibility
of peopling the forests of the Puget
Sound country with pretty singers
and western Washington should show
its appreciation of his efforts by aid
ing the movement in evevy way pos
sible.

today a haf-dozen strong well-sustained party
papers?"
The answer is readily suggested when one
looks at the history of other periodicals. In the
publishing world in general, perhaps paper
or magazine survives and is success for dozen
launched; and where success is attained it is
either at the price of tremendous struggle or
the result of large capital invested Perhaps
only twice in the history of Prohibition news
papers has the investment been large enough at
the outset to warrant the expectation of success.
In those two cases success achieved, and
the party lost the results of the success only by
the intervention of circumstances that were be-
yond control.
The National Prohibitionist is the result of
plans, carefully laid and thus far successfully
carried out for making certain of success, for
the building of paper that shall champion the
Prohibition party and the Prohibition cause ade
uuately, widely continuously and, at length,
trinmphanty.
Mr.. STEWART in his appeal has outlined the
situation that existed up to the middle of the
year 1907 The NezO Voice, the grandest of all
Prohibition papers of the past had ceased to
sound the war-note and had disappeared from
the field The Defender was strong editorally,
was reaching wider and wider but in spite of the
generosity of friends, under terrific handl-
cap for lack of capital Of The Home Defender
in Chicago similar facts were true. AT length
a day came, in August of 1907, when it was
discovered that it would be possible to unite
The NeaU Voice with The Defender and give
the paper, at single stroke, a circulation
wide as the nation, and fairly adequate for the
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1907-12-12

needs Of the party There problems to be
solved, grave problems. The first conference
that undertook them met in the Office of Mr..
ALFRED L. MAN1ERRE in New York city. There
were present the publishers of The Defender,
Messrs FERGUSON and PENDELL, Mr.. STEWART,
who was visiting the city and had learned of
the situation, and Mr.. MANIERRE 1t was unani-
mousy concluded that the opportunity was SO
great and the prospect so bright that some adj
vanced step should be taken.
Additional counsel was sought. Mr.. WILLIAM
T. WARDwELL, The Defenders lifelong friend
and trusted adviser, was in the heart of the
Adirondacks, but nearer by, at Lake Mohonk
in the Shuanguan mountains, was WILLIAM w.
SMITH, and the day following saw Messrs.
STEWART and FERGUSON riding over the wooded
ridges to meet Mr. SMITH.
From that conference perhaps more than from
the one that preceded it, dates the beginning of
the enterprise that on the twenty eighth of No
vember was crowned with the publication of
the first number of The National Prohibitionist.
For, after careful discussion, the visitors came
away with such warm assurances of interest
and such hearty God-speed, that failure seemed
a thing impossible and was never thereafter con-
templated.
Mr. STEWART shrank from the task of appear
ing before the Prohibtionsts of the country in
an effort to. raise the necessary funds to make
the dream a reality, but the gentlemen who had
been consulted, as we'll as others who were soon
brought into consultation, pressed him into the
service as the one man peculiarly fitted because
of his experience and wide acquaintance, to
undertake the work "To the man to whom the

December IL, 1907

Prohibitionists of the United States entrusted
1927 900 in the five years during which he was
national chairman, they will certainly entrust
the comparatively small sum needed for the
accomplishment of this work" That was the Z
way the workers reasoned. And so Mr. STEWART
signed the appeal for funds that went out, and
secured the money by which the control of The
NezV Voice was secured for consolidation with
The Defender.
The time is not yet for a list of the con-
tributors to that fund. The contributions ranged
from cents to many hundreds of dollars. HAIR
MON YERKEs, ALFRED MANIERRE, JOHN Mckee,
J. B. LEWIS, C. C. CRowELL, GEORGE CHESTER
CHARLES EcKHART-these were some of those
who reached deeply into their pockets to make
the beginning that is to result in things SO far
beyond anything then dreamed of.
On the eve of the accomplishment of all this, it
was discovered that still greater achievement
was possible; that The Home Defender could be
added to the combination. This presented seri-
Gus complications of financial character, but after
hurried, though diligent investigation, supple
mental appeal was made which resulted in the
immediate raising of sufficient funds to make
it possible to take over for the new combination
the business of The Home Defender, and to add
that papers list to the large list already in the
combine, placing the party once more in the
possession of Prohibition journal of really
wide circulation.
1t is for the purpose of putting the capstone
of complete success upon this enterprise that Mr.
STEWART, in behalf of the gentlemen who have
laid the task upon him, makes the appeal which
appears upon page one.
