HERE'S A SCHEME.

Plans for reforming the language are
always on tap. So many people recog-
nize the incongruities, the imperfec-
lions and the various objectionable fea-
lures of our English that it is no won
der that so many attempts at reform
are made. This is a day when people
want to go at things in the most direct
way, and all know our language as
written is fearfully faulty. Some Of
the alleged reforms, it is true, would
leave 1t worse than 1t is to our way
of looking at the matter, but possibly
come of experience and experimental
ton.
One of the latest propositions is to do
away with written and printed Ian
guage entirely. To bring this about
we are told that "Dr. Marago of Paris
is photographing the human voice and
with a powerful magnifying glass he is
able to reveal the records Of a person
talking. 1t is the belief of certain
scientists that these voice photographs
eventually will take the place of writ
ing and alphabets altogether. Stenog-
raphy, too, would be abolished. Instead
of writing a letter the sender would
talk into a microphone, pull out strip
of zigzags when through and post it.
Forgery would be out of the question.
for it is absolutely impossible to de-
ceive the electric needle, which faith
fully records every shade of tone. For
books and newspapers the idea is to
have a conventional imitation Of zig
Gags Of the various vowels and con-
sonants in the form Of type, which will
be set in lines like ordinary printed
matter. Telephone conversations of
this sort would be as binding as a writ
ten contract today"
Now, there's some reforming to think
about. No more writing copy for the
printer; no more banging at the type
writer or the linotype; no more cussing
the proof readers; no more anything
like 1t now is. All you will have to do
Is to spout your own brand OF zigzags
into the machine, haul out the result
and hand 1t over to your Uncle Samuel
to be delivered. If the other fellow can
make nothing of your f1y-tracks, that's
his misfortune. Let him employ an ex-
pert and get what sense out Of it he
may. Secrecy and privacy will be in
violate, If we get the hang Of this bust
ness. for no one but the receiver can
know what is sent. Possibly he will
not, but he must learn. It promises to
be a bully scheme and we hope the
learned doctor will send us few zig.
gags as soon as he gets them Matched

will make a strenuous effort at 1t.

SOME REAL ENTERPRISE.

There is a certain esteemed cOntem-
porary whose circulation, though not
enormous, deserves more than the
gold mark" for quality. 1t is the
Congressional Record. Now it is re-
grettable to notice that there is among
certain of the unthinking a tendency
to speak slightingly OF the Congress
sional Record as a newspaper, and to
consider 1t deficient in enterprise. They,
who thoughtlessly do these things, are
liable to wake up some day and dis
cover that they are the backward ones.
For the Congressional Record, which
understands its mission better than
do some who are not its readers-and
that number is considerable even
among those who have it thrust upon
them-is far from wanting in enter
prise. It's literary features are ade-
quate, it covers the news Of it's field
with fidelity and impartiality which
should put all other publications to
shame, and it has made all arrange
ments for a sporting department next
year, as soon as Williams and De
Almond get into the closer proximity
of the senate. 1t had, however, in spite
of the tendency of the times, refrained
until last Friday from using illustra-
tions, known to the newspaper frater-
nifty as cuts"
On that day Mr.. Bankhead Of Ala
bama rose in the senate to argue for
good roads, constructed direct by the
federal government. He spoke elo-
| quently, though not long. And at the
close Of his address he asked permits
sion to have incorporated in the Rec
ord an illustration which still more elo-
| quently clinched his point. Permission
was given, and the picture still speaks
though the speaker is resting. 1t SIM
