If our spelling reformers were not
wholly destitute of humor they would
not rage at the newspapers which do
not and cannot regard seriously their
assaults upon many simple and inoffen-
sive words. Highly cultivated as some
of these crusaders no doubt are, forth
fed as they may be in reason and pre-
cedent and jealous almost to the point
of mania as they have shown them
selves to be, they do not speak with
authority and they can control no one
but themselves.
GIN the matter of photography, as in
some other things soberly conducted
newspapers adhere to certain standards
They often fall short Of the mark, no
doubt, but if they had no chart or if
they adopted haphazard every freakish
idea emanating from the excited brains
of the spelling faddist they would
would soon be like ships without COM
passes or railroad Grains without or
ders and signals. The photographed
oddities bearing the sanction of the
spelling reformers are no more con-
vincing than the phonetics of many
careless or ignorant writer's who are
as indifferent to correct spelling as
the reformers are fanatical in their
fondness for "simplihed" spelling.
Men who imagine that they can
change the language of millions of
people by mere fat and who grow
angry anG abusive because not much
attention is paid to them are poorly
equipped for the task to which they
have addressed themselves. Words
frequently change in form and some
times in meaning, but the process is
an unconscious one and of necessity it
must be gradual

Party Lines Gone.

Republicans in Washington are eX-
hibiting mock anxiety lest the Demo
cratic party go to pieces on the tariff
question, says the New York World.
Democratic assertions to protection
excite their cynical derislon. But they
ignore the fact that as Tariff revision
lists the House Republicans are little
better off. Their organization has not
only been compelled to accept unwill-
ingiy a number of important amend
ments to the Payne bill, but it under
went a smashing defeat in the fight
over the duty on petroleum and its
products when Speaker Cannon him
self tried to save the situationn by
taking the floor.
The leaders of neither side have
been ale to hold thier forces in line.
Democrats from Georgia, Louisiana
aid Florida have frequently DoIted
their party to vote for protection for
some special interest in their locality,
and the Republican managers, when
they needed help. knew how to tempt
them, Republicans from Kansas,
Michigan and Minnesota have organic
ed meetings to demand separate votes
on such articles as oil. coal, lumber,
hides, tea, coffee and beer. Many
have declared themselves
against all the countervailing duties
provided for in the present bill.
Senator EIkins has rallied the Republi-
cans from West Virginia, Kentucky,
Tennessee, North Carolina and Penn
sylvania who are interested in Goa ITO
fight the proposed reciprocityyarrange-
ments between the United States and
Canada.
Republicans quit the party organ:-
cation to vote fer lower schedules
than the Payne bill provides; Demo
Gratis leave their party organizations
to vote for higher duties. Both par
ties are working at cross purpose
within their own ranks.

da. makes a plea for the retention OF

the Dingley duties on lumber; Repre-
sentative Pujo, of Louisiana, for pro-
tected lumber; Representative Clark,
of Florida, who proclaims himself to be
Cleveland-J effersonian Democrat, for
high duties on lumber; Representative
Tawney, the Republican whip, who
has been busy all week driving the Re-
publican members into line, leads the
fight for free lumber against Repre-
sentative Fordney, of Michigan, and
Representative Cushman, of Wash
ington, both Republicans. When it
comes to vote thirty Democrats are
recorded against free lumber, Repre-
sentative Clayton, Of Alabama, who
resided over the last Democratic Ma
tiOnlal Convention, Of which the plat
form declared for free lumber and
free wood pulp, leading the bolt, and
representative Puyo, ofNorthCaroIina,
a Democratic member of the Ways and
Means Committee, following him.
With the aid of Democratic votes Mr..
Payne scores a victory over the com
bined Democrats and Republicans who
want lumber on the free list.
When it comes to the question of
hides, which the Payne bill makes
free. the Republicans from the agri-
cultural sections of the West, who
have been fiery tariff revisionists de-
mand a protective duty, and the Demo-
Gratis from Texas second them.
Alabama Democrats favor protec-
ton for steel and iron products; Kan
sas, Iowa and Wisconsin Republicans
oppose it. One of the bitterpst attacks
upon the Payne bill was made by
Representative Nye, a Minnesota
Republican, who denounced it as not
being revision downward. Represen-
tative PujO, of Louisiana, opposed it
because it admits small quantity Of
Philippine sugar duty free. Florida
Democrats call for higher duties on
fruits, Virginia Democrats on peanuts.
Party lines have gone to smash;
party leaders vainly try to lead and
their followers refuse to follow.
Protection has added to the demorili-
cation of the Democrats and tariff re-
vision to the generalization of the Re-
pubIicans.

WON'T LET SALOONS MULTIPLY.
Council Committee VIII Hold Up
Bonds for New Places.

Owing to a doubt as to the consti-
nationality of one feature OF the War
northampton liquor law. recently
passed by the legislature. it will be up
to the liquor regulation committee of
the common council to see that sa-
looms do not multiply unduly before the
first day OF the new licenses, May l.
1910. The provision referred TO is that
which limits the number OF saloons in
any locality to the number existing in
April, 1909 That this clause has a
retroactive effect is likely to be its un-
doing in the view of lawyers who have
gone over the act.
The only thing that is left for us in
Detroit is TO hold up all bonds for
new saloons until after the law goes
into effect next September and then
TO refuse them says Aid. Watson.
There are too many saloons in De-
troit now and thinning out is need

be used and some licenses granted

Gil should use its prerogative TO dis
