from Anglo-Saxon, with most OF the
Old English infections trimmed down

showing their grammatical connection
by the word-order? Certainly not in
Europe or America. And yet we have
many such books, written for chill
dren. The primer and first reader
and the little Christmas story books
have the real English idiom.
We add many long words as we
grow up, technical terms and pompous
polysyllables, but they are least es-
sential In conversation.
The prattle of children. the talk OF
women when they are really them
selves. the language Of business men
doing things in a hurry, the words
that foreigners learn first and that We
all use oftenest, the expressions that
leap to our lips in emotional moments

the revolutionary remark that the best
conversational style is the manner or

further remarked that women. In gen.

the substance without the manner.
We do not argue this. We simply
tell 1t to you. II you disagree with
US. very well-we proceed with our
philosophical study.
This style of speech that appears
crudely In children, and highly devel-
oped in cultured women, deserves
more comment
What, then, shall we say OF this
ideal conversational style, beyond its
being easy. simple and natural? This,
above all-that 1t Is idiomauc.

tongues.
Thus Greek is flexible and full of
varied melody; Latin Is logical ana
formal; French is delicate In tone and
clear In the expression Of all subtle
ties of thought and feeling; Italian is
emotional and musical; Spanish Is
sonorous and pompous; German Is
naive and straightforward. We are
speaking, of course, OF broad charac-

BEFORE AND AFTER
TAKING THE OLD GUARD


(From the Free Press. Sept. 2s)
Friends Of good government every
where will read with deep satisfaction
the definite news that the New York
state Republican convention has elect
ed Theodore Roosevelt az its TEN.
porary chairman.
The campaign OF the ex-president
has been fought In the open. His mo-
tives have been declared publicly. He
has resorted to no tricks or subter-
fuges TO overturn the catch verdict
registered the Republican state
committee for his opponent. He went
10 the people with his fight. His ad-
versaries. on the other hand. have
left untried no stratagem of politics
TO carry out their plans. The unau-
thorized use OF the presidents name
was not too extreme a course for
them to try. Suppression OF fact, sec
recy and Misrepresentation have been
their weapons.
In such a conflict every instinct Of
decent citizenship sides with the tri-
umphant fighters. The efforts on the
part OF few bosses 10 retain their
control OF once and to drive the peo.
pie to retrogade from high standards
instead of leading them to loftier
ideals In public affairs has been repel-
liant TO good Republicans everywhere.
It's success could have had nothing
but misfortune for the destinies Of the
party throughout the country and It's
failure will bring cheer to all who
hope for a sinking OF differences and
Joining of efforts for the perpetua-
ton OF honest government.
The 3aratnga rosn1f brought abOsYt
by the harmonious work OF President
Taft and his predecessor In once and
made possibly only by the coopera-
ton of the two, ought to do more than
any other conceivable happening In
politics this year to unite the Repub-
lican party. II its two leaders can
together achieve such an apparent i'm
possibility as the overthrowing Of the
New York bosses. what obstacle Is
there to prevent the followers from
uniting and winning even a more
memorable victory In November?
Whether the defeated bosses In
New York will accept the result or
not must be one of the features OF the
coming campaign and upon their ac-
ton will depend the case or difficulty
OF the party's task In working for
November victory. Their detection
would be made good TO considerable
extent by the rallying Of many good
citizens In the state to the side that
stands for better government. but this
accretion OF strength might or might
not prove sufficient to win the elec-
ton. Outside Of New York, however,
the influence OF the convention must
be altogether for unity and harmony
and the New York situation IL OF much
less consequence than the wider In
terests OF the party In the nation.

Though he gave his life In trying
to save his ship, Capt Peter Kitty

Of the board of vessel inspectors who

In Lake Michigan, in which 2S per-
sons persisted. The report was re-
ceiyed wednesday by Supervising In.
spector-General Uhler, OF the United
States steamboat inspection service.
The inspectors have found them
selves entirely at loss to tell now
the accident occurred. They say that
the breaking OF three headlights on
the port side undoubtedly put the nm
fishing touch to the wreck, but they
don't know how the water which was
found In the after-compartment could
have entered. II might have been
from a sea-cock. carelessly left open,
or from a scuttle getting open; but In
either case. the inspectors think tie
pumps were capable OF clearing the
water out. They think that the cars

Chattanooga has population of
about $4,000 and about $4,000 taking
in the suburban towns. It has two
beautiful union depots and seven
different railroads. 1t has large
number of fine and costly church
buildings representing large number
of creeds and denominations both
Catholic and Protestant. The city
seems pretty we'll equipped with
schools and school buildings altho
it has no comparison to our northern
cities in this respect. The race ques-
ton cuts quite q figure here every
thing being separate.
The coiored and white people have
their different churches. different
schools different waiting rooms ia
depots, different cars, both steam
and sdyeet cars to ride in. The white
people do ell the planning and boss
ing and the eelored people do the
hard work both skilled and common

Saturday night We had occasion to
go on the west side Oh business
and about 1880 o'clock we reached
the corner of First and Grand Ave
nues just as the street car arrived
at that point on its return from Ne
koosa. The car was loaded to its
utmost capacity with passengers and
as they emerged from the car, it
much resembled so many bees leaving
hive. It was pleasant evening
and a large number of people were
out going to and fro on shopping ex-
petitions. The rumble of the car,
and the crowds of people gave Grand
Avenue a metropolitan appearance
that made one think of Milwaukee
or some other large city. We We're
proud Of this spectacle and exclaim-
ed that this was a strong evidence
that Grand Rapids was growing and
fast becoming popular business cen
ter. The street car service is GER
tainly a great addition to the COM
mercial Industries of our community.
