First Cotton Mill.
ohiladelpbia Public Ledger.

PhllaQelpnla PuDIc AouBeT.
 Appoused the coming national meet ing of the American Cotton Manufac- turers' Association. which will be held in this city next May, it is interesting to note that the man who constructed the first cotton mill in the south lVas a Philadelphian. Though born in Ian caster county. he spent good part of his life in ths city in the tailoring business. It is appropriate. therefore, that the Manufacturers Association should select this city as it's meeting place.
 Michael Schenck is the pioneer man. ufacturer who started in Dixie an in- dustry that to-day represents an h. vestment of about $650,00o,00O. He was born in Lancaster, Feb 15, l77l, nav ing been descended from a Swiss Men nonite family which emergrated to this country in the latter part of the sev- enteenth century, after making an purchase of land in Lancaster county He came to this city early in life and entered the tailoring business, in which failed him, and he went to ltncolnton N. C., with his two brothers.
 Schenck built factory one and one half miles east of the city, in which he put seventy two spindles, which he op- erated by water power. His goods were all purchased in this city and Lancaster, and were brought to Lin- colnton in wagons. Schenek's little fac tory, which began in August, 1915, proved so profitable that four years | later he installed in 1t 5000 additional spndles Out of 1t has grown the great factories that are now turning out mli- lions of dollars worth of the fleecy sta pie and shipping 1t to every part of the civilized world

Letters to The Editor
RECKLESS CAR MEN.


 A Citizen Relates What He Saw Yes-
 terday.
 Editor The Advertiser: appreciate fully the difficulties with which the Montgomery Traction Com pany is confronted. At that same time it Would appear to me that the man. agement should be forced to do one of two things-put on all cars motor men and conductors who know their business, and who will look out for lie and limb of passengers. or reduce the number of cars to the nunDer or experienced motormen and conductors that they can secure.
 while alighting from Perry street car, thrown violently to the ground. This same car, not two minutes later. threw a lady at the next corner fSouth street), exactly in the same manner Fortunately neither of these ladies was hurt seriously. Within two hours I helped a lady on Perry street car on Dexter avenue, and exactly the same thing happened as with the oth- CT Perry street ear; that Is. the motor man started the car with jerk while the lady was on the steps. Fortunately had a firm grip on the lady's arm, and saved her from fall. This last lady is 70 years of age. and 1t was the merest chance that 1 happened along and helped her on this car. If she had been unaided, I firmly believe she would have been killed or seriously fn- jured.
 As much as the city of Montgomery needs good schedules, thousand times more we need careful and considerate conductors and motormen.

 Then they both remarked:

drought. Even the President had to withdraw his absurd order that all the government printing should : be done in the new way. Even his stub born will had to give way to the argu- ments and assurances that to. follow his orders would make the Public Printing Department and all our pub lie documents superlatively ridiculous. He was forced to withdraw from his position and with that withdrawal came the virtual collapse of the impos- sible business. Commenting on the subject The Eagle says:
 The slowness with which the slight- est change toward simplicity are adopted indicates the trouble the board. or any board. will have which attempts to reduce the English language toward a phonetic uniformity. In the first place. there are many more sounds in English than are represented by our alphabet, so that thoroughgoing pho- neticism would require new alphabet. in which each character should repre- sent one sound and only one. That would mean the creation of a new lam guage out of hand That would be con- sistent, but impossible, and the i'm,
 
 by this board in it's policy of chopping of projecting consonant here and there from the scraggly mass of our English print. That process can only go on a word or two at time. as the majority comes over to the position of the board. It Is not revolution, but evolution, and evolution hardly less slow than which developed a chimpanzee in- to a track layer.
 That there are many changes and im- provements needed in our language Is beyond all doubt, but reform all in one motion, as we might express 1t is impossible. If one will take the Eng l!sh language as 1t was in the time of Chaucer, for example, and compare 1t with the present the contrast will show the great advance that has been made, but that advance has required centuries, and to perfect the language. if such a thing is possible. will be slow pro- cess. It cannot be consumated by executive orders or at the commands of any board.

TRYING TO BRING IT BACK.

As The Brooklyn Eagle looks at the affair it sounds like an echo from war times to read that there was held re- gently a meeting of the simplified spelling board. It does seem some thing like going back to prehistoric times, so fast do events follow each other in this strenuous age. Really 1t has been but short while since the whole country was agitated and al most upset by the advocates of simpli- fed spelling. The President, in his usual thoughtless and clustering man. ner apparently went on the assumption that nothing but orders from the White House would be needed to change almost our entire language. He issued the orders, as general as even his assumacy dared, and many took fire at once and put themselves to work to obey and carry out his wishes. To read the opinions and assertions of these enthusiastic and optimistic sim plifiers one might have thought that all existing spelling books, readers. dictionaries and all other kinds and varieties of educational publications would soon be consigned to the junk pile, and that all our reading matter would be handed out to us with the new style of spelling.
 But like many other human schemes thls one failed to materialize, to any great extent. The commAhds and de mands of the President fell flat. The examples, the efforts and the argu' ments of the faddists fell on barren soil and into unreceptive minds. In fact simplified spelling experienced blighting frost The crop has lately been suffering from prolonged

In Denmark several women are em- ployed as state officials at sea. and par ticularly in the pilot service. They go out to meet the incoming ships. They climb nlmbly out of their boats.

Liontamer Roosevelt, whip in hand. seems to have all the carnivora of the Republican ZOO so cowed that they humbly crawl forward, each in its turn, to lick his hand. But the fawning will turn to a crouch for a spring and fangs will bare, instead of tongues, if the public popularity, which is his sole protection, relaxes for one instant.
