THE IMPORTANCE OF CLEAR
WRITING.

The main purpose Of language is to ex-
press ideas. 1t is important, therefore,
that language be used so that the reader
or the hearer can understand readily just
what the writer or speaker means. II
this result is not attained then there is
something at fault, either with the choice
Of words or with the mode Of expression,
assuming of course that the writer has
sufficient intelligence to understand the
subject under treatment.
A writer or speaker should OF course
use words and expressions adapted to the
audience he is addressing. An article
written for scientific men may be wholly
unintelIigible to the lay reader, and yet
have been we'll written, the trouble being
wholly due to the inability Of the layman
to understand the subject. A writer
should, therefore, give due consideration
W tlC AAtciiiRCACc u tlC pCoptC NhOiA AlO
seeks to reach. Simple, concise Language
is never an offense to the most highly
educated, but the use Of words and die
ton above the comprehension Of q reader
means loss OF force, which defeats the
purpose for which the article was written.
In writing for the general public or for a
class, as for the general mining public,
the simplest and most direct forms of ex-
preston win be far more effective than
highly technical language, since many Of
the readers, although intelligent, lack adj
vanced training in English and technical
matters involved
Short sentences and the simplest and
most common words that will express
the thoughts are the most forceful. Verb
osity and long and involved sentences are
a source Of weakness to an article as the
meaning is often obscured and proves Of
little benefit to the reader.
The tendency Of inexperienced writer's
and some professional correspondents is
to use too high-sounding language, adorn-
ed with adjectives, particularly super
latives, that add nothing to the value Of
the article. AS rule such writing is to
make nothing appear like something.
This attempt is mistake, as the readers
are after the meat Of the article and not
words. If writers would always bear
these suggestions in mind their articles
would be much more acceptable. -Ex.

And now the court will be as badly
crippled when it meets in the fall as it
was before. There will be only seven
justices on the bench with the accession
of Associate Justice Hughes, who was APP
pointed to succeed Justice Brewer and
whose appointment has been confirmed
by the senate. Moreover the court will
meet without chief justice, unless some
thing should call congress, or at least the
senate, together before the regular date
for convening in December. President
has made it rule not to make any judi
cial appointments during a recess of con-
gress and in the case Of the Supreme
Court judges there is a long established
precedent against having them take seats
until after confirmation by the senate.
When the court is filed again its COM
position viii be so altered, it is pointed
out, that the divisions resulting when
votes were taken last spring on the pend
ing big cases win afford no advance guide
to the justices themselves as to the out
come. In other words, the appointments
to be made by President Taft, together
with those he already has made, are liable
to turn the whole tide Of American juris-
prudence with respect to politico-indus-
trial questions that have sen.-Idaho

There are two ways of dealing with the
evils in the world which we justly deplore
and wish to abolish-one, to attack and
try to break them dow forcibly; the other
to dissolve or exhale them by the active
presence of good. The former of these
methods appears SO much the more direct
and obvious that it generally gains the
first place in our attention. We see a
wrong and our Impulse is to crush it; we
see an injustice and we long to exter-
inmate it; we observe an unrighteous in
stitution and we desire to overthrow it.
The slower and less direct method Of over
coming evil with good, of substituting a
better way for that which is bad, OF de-
voting the same energy to building up
that we would have given to the work of
tearing down, obtains gradual hold
over us only with time and experience.

The proprietor Of the Nugget and his
wife came up from Jordan Valley, last
Saturday, to look after business affairs of

ideas with the man in charge as to how
to more economically and successfully

satisfied with the way things are being

will go straight up, because that is as

Mrs. j. w. Rowett left here the first Of

probability remain there until her hus-
band, who has quit the jewelry business
here, gets their furniture and fixtures
transferred over to Mountain Home,
where they will reside in the future and
where he will go into the same business
again. Silver City in general is of course
sorry to see this pleasant family take
their departure from here, where they
have resided for so many years and won
the friendship of all, but, since it must be
SO, we will wish them all happiness and
prosperity in their chosen lot
] William Thomas, the young fellow

serve 80 days in the county Jail here from

sented a check for 1925 to the chinamar
and asked him to cash it. The chinamaI
being unable to read asked of him how
much the check called for and the MAJ
replied: "Fourty dollars and twenty-fiv,
| cents" The chinaman taking it TO
granted that the man was telling him th'
truth, shelled out to him four ten-dolla
bills and twenty-five cents in silver, afte
which the man shortly afterward dis
appeared, which led the chink to mis-
trust that there was something wrong an,
he presented it to white man who tolt
him that he had been feeeed. BY thi

where he was arrested and taken back +

guilty as charged in the complaint an
