We are deeply panied at the usually chastc
and precise Norfolk Landmark, which, in taking
shot at Major W. H. Bernard's hopeless quest
of the correct pronunciation of "automobie' says
that, as for itself, it is satisfied with the humble
Authorization auto which is becoming as well
established as phone
Thus do evil communications corrupt good
morals. and slang obilterae the landmarks of
Iof style and diction. Down in North Carolina,
y here they have literary grocers, of the most
Icrudie of these long ago announced that the pass
book and the telephone were both inventions of
he Devil: and Colonel Belden, of Wilmington,
while he has telephones all about him, has come
% the age of silvcred locks without ever using
zone of the pernicious contraptions, either to talk
with or listen over But neither of these author
tiles would think of referring to this everyday
acoustic convenience as "'phone', any more
than of referring to lady's eyes lamps"
or genleman's chappeau as lid. Major
Bernard, while he would bust before he would
be seen in one of the dinged things, insist that,
if it must be mentioned in polite society, it
should be called III its right name, while the Land
mark is willing TO forget all its training and in
stincts in the use of the patter which goes with
a machine We suspect that it wears goggles
and rubs gasoline on its hands. 1t evidently
thinks that an automobile front" is worth any
sacrifice necessary to attain it.

constructed navy yards on rivers where ships
could not enter, and made famous appropriations
for dredging creeks SO shallow that blue herons
waded from bank to bank. He it was, also, who
talked to death several attempts at the passage
of the bill for the Southern inland waterway, as

ports depth of water commensurate with their
commercial importance 1t is probably because
the saving to the South of its watercourses and

that Mr.. Burton is prepared to talk himself into
a faint before permitting the passage of thing
that will not directly benefit Ohio or the country

LET Him SWEAT"

/ We wish no man serious harm, but, all thing:
considered we would not be overly grieved il
Senator Burton, of Ohio, should just about thi:
time suffer what the negroes term tech of sun ="
At any rate, we trust that the Senate will let him
sweat even if it has to perspire with him. Sen
ator Burton is fully persuaded that he is a "hot'
parsonage Let us hope that he will, in his --latest
project, find that there are other people quite a;
warm as himself.
Senator Burtons idea is to prove sort of leg
Iislatiye salamander, and thus wear out the re
sstance OF Congress against his own peculiar pre-
judces and conceit IN the matter Of the Forest
Reserve bill. To that end, at the close of long
and troublesome session, he proposes a flibustel
of talk. He will speak, he says, for two days and
hold the floor even it lac has to stand in puddle
/ of his own substance 10 do it.. Single handed,
he viii stand and dissipate himself in rivulets
against any appropriation looking to the conserva-
ton of water powers.
/ Since there are no rules in the Senate, the
only recourse is TO give gentleman Of this stripe
free rein and plenty of time. The crisis calls for
a staying power on the part of Congress as a
whole MS determined as that of one member who
desires to make Marathon speech. 1t calls for a
Willingness to sit, and sit and sit. We trust the
Senate sts-at least till Burton can no longer
stand
The Forest Reserve has been for years the
dream of large and thoughtful element of the
public, 1t has been endorsed by Presidents Nc
Knlcy, Rooselt and Taft 1t has three times
passed the Senate and has onae passed the House.
OF late years, under the old Czar-like regime the
measure has been kept from becoming law by
the stubborness of Cannon. Now that Cannon S
powers have been clipped, it is Burton who steps
in the breach TO interpose his ego. The situation
is an exasperating one, but there is nothing to do
except to suffer it. At the present moment pa
triotism in Congress is resolved into question of
physical endurance
There is something of mystery about Bur
ton, who is that most pemcious of all things,
mathematical politician Mr.. Burton's mathema
tics are, however related chiefly to things Ohioan
and Western He hates the East and the South

when Congress is happily preparing to adjourn,
he can announce that he is starting on little

NO CLASS LEGISLATION.

When the amendment first passed the House
] of Representative, by which it was sought tc
restrict the money appropriated for the enforce
nlent Of the Sherman law from use against agri
cultural and labor combinations for the purpose
OF raising prices or increasing wages, The Nir
cinian pointed out its danger on the grounds:
That is was class legislation;
That it was an effort by the law-making body
TO defeat its own law without repeating OF
modifying the statute itself
q That as making for the unequal application
of the law, it was subversive Of the very princi-
pie of the law.
Th amendment was defeated by the Senate.
To our surprise it was insisted upon by the
House, which we considered had passed it in
i. the first instance in the expectation of the fate
which it met in the higher branch of Congress.
Now President Taft has again put down his
loot, but this time effectively because there
was something calling for heavyweight
pressure. With courage for which he is not
always CONSPICUOUS, the President let it be known
that, in case Congress insisted upon this sort
pf discrimination, he would veto the sundry
civil appropriation bill in toto.
81 of all Unions the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers has been at once most effective and
most sane. 1t is, therefore, regrettable that, on
ia issue of this character, its President should
N found wiring Mr.. Taft.
