Boston paper comments on the recent
woman suffrage victories in Washington
state by quoting from the "woman's
Journal" and by adding an exclamation
which leaves a question. The comment
reads:
In the woman's Journal is published a
review of the chief personalities involved
in the recent woman suffrage victories in
Washington state. One or these women is
described as the best known and most
popular business woman member in Spo-
kane the only woman member of the Spo-
kane Chamber OF Commerce Left a widow
with baby in her arms and only her
own labor to depend upon, she has ac-
quired fortune by her own exertions 8"

one of singular sweetness" The second IL
"a young and very beautiful woman, with
a personality fun of charm. she Is popu-
lar with men and women alike, and is
bound to become a public worker of great
success" A third us a type of the high
class English woman; conservative, a de-
voted church Woman yet with all that
political sagacity which seems an instinct
with the high class Engllshwoman." And
OF the author Of these tributes another
woman says Her brilliant speeches and
exquisite womaniness have formed a COM
blnatlon Of telling power" Such women II
correctly described would be welcome TO

America Guilty of Languicide.
During my brief residence in
Tacoma I have been continually
annoyed by the bad manners and
literary hooliganism of the news
papers.
The Londoner Is always repre-
sented as, costermonger, the
East End equivalent of a Bowery
boy, and in amusing headlines
the Londoner's speech is written,
"Oi 81, old chappie, ave you read
the Dolly Mile?"
Now, to begin with, cold chap
pie" Is clearly a dudes language
that would find no place in the
mouth of costermonger. And
whatever mistakes the coster-
monger makes in pronunciation,
he was at least consistent, so that
he might render Daily Mail" as
Oily Mile" never as Dolly
Mile"
To DOgmatic.
The Americans are particularly
Idogmatic, too, on their pronunci-
alton and spelling, and learned
men have published dictionaries
to correct the Englishman's err
rors. The other day was puz-
zled by an advertisement which
read, Republic tires" Now, for
the moment l wondered If the
Americans saw the shortcomings
of their enlightened form of. gov
Iernment, and were advertising po-
llitically, but then it occurred to
me that the advertisement re-
ferred to pneumatic tyres.
But l was so struck by the am
biguity of this spelling that l Wis
tied the public library to look the
matter up. There 1 found that
two American dictionaries ig-
nored the word ''tyre" altogether,
while the third, which, of course,
was published by an Anglo-Amer-
lean firm, referred to "typre" as
an obsolete form.
This plan of simplifying the
English language is obviously of
doubtful utility.
Yes, there is no doubt that
American has murdered the beau
tiful English language, and the
only way to remedy this state of
things is to replace American pro-
fessors of English with well edu-
Gated Englishmen.

nervously as he went back to his
seat near the widow. He was
conscious that a flush of unusual
excitement had leaped into his
cheeks and already the practical
side of him was ashamed of that
to which the romantic side had
surrendered.
"The deuce, but she was pref
ty!" he excused himself. And
those eyes
Suddenly he checked himself.
There had been more than the
eyes; more than the pretty face!
Why had the girl paused in front
of the window? Why had she
looked at him so intently, as
though on the point of speech?
The smile and flush left his face
as these questions came to him
and he wondered If he had failed
to comprehend something which
she had meant him to understand.
After all, might it not have been
a case of mistaken identity? For
a moment she had believed that
she recognized him-then, seeing
her mistake, had passed swiftly
down the street. Under ordinary
circumstances Rowland would
have accepted this solution of the
incident. But tonight he was in
an unusual mood, and it quickly
occurred to him that even if his
superstition were true 1t did not
explain the pallor in the girls
face and the strange entreaty
which had glowed for an instant
in her eyes.
Anyway it was none of his bust
ness, and he walked casually to
the door. At the end of the
street, a quarter of mile dis
tant, red light burned feebly
over the front of a Chinese res
taurant, and in mechanical
fashion his footsteps led him in
that direction.
"I'll drop in and have a cup of
tea, he assured himself. throw
ing away the stub of his cigar and
filling his lungs with great
breaths of the cold, dry air.
Lord, but it's a glorious night!
He stopped and turned his eyes
again into the North. Its myriad
stars, white and unshivering, the
elusive play of the mysterious
lights lowering over the pole, and
the black edge of the wilderness
beyond the river were holding a
greater fascination for him. Since
fmorning, when he had looked on
that wilderness for the first time
in his life, new blood had entered
into him, and he rejoiced that it
was this wonderful world which
was to hold for him success and
fortune. Never had he dreamed
that the mere joy of living would
appeal to him as it did now; that
the act of breathing. of seeing, of
looking on wonders in which his
hands had taken no part. in the
making, would fill him with the
indefinable pleasure which had
suddenly become his experience.
He wondered, as he still stood
gazing into the infinity of that
other world beyond the Saskatch-
evan, If romance was really quite
dead in him. Always he had
laughed at romance. Work-the
grim reality of action, of brain
fighting brain, of cleverness pit
ted against other mems cleverness
had almost brought him to the
point of regarding romance in life
as peculiar illusion of fools
and women. But he was fair in
his concessions, and tonight he
acknowledged that he had en-
joyed the romance of what he had
seen and heard. And most of all,
his blood had been stirred by the
beautiful face that had looked at
him from out OF the night.
