English Horribly Misspoke"

Homer started in to use all the words
there were. He couldn't mention milk
without calling 1t white" or blood
without calling ii dark" as II any
body ever saw dark milk or white
blood! He always called spear
sharp" a ship curved" and dawn
rosy" and Helen "white-armed." and
the Greek heroes "fair-haired." eve
grant the rest, and pronounce 1t
tautological-but did you ever see a
"fair-haired" Greek?)
Now, all this repetition was very
well for Homer, and for the other
poets, down to the present day bards
who sing of green grass" and blue
sky" and white clouds" and other
perfectly obvious things. But in a
prosaic age when we study Esperanto
to save words, and sign checks In
stead of trading pumpkins for sofa
pillows, and read little literature ex-
cept box scores and market reports,
we might just as we'll talk concisely
and write concisely, cutting out all
unnecessary words.
Oh, yes, we may bubble over once
in a while and ease the strain by pratt
Ting. Nevertheless, in good writ
ten or spoken style, nowadays, one
avoids tautology as one shuns the ac-
cent Of Pittsburg or the sartorial
styles Of Montana.

II will do no harm to muck-rate
tautology little more. Tautology, as
the reader learned In this instructive
column yesterday, IL he didn't know
1t before. Is squandering OF words;
it Is repeating unnecessarily, saying
the same thing more than once.
How often we hear the expression,
"a petite little woman" Now, II you
know three or four words OF French,
you know that petite" means little.
And so this expression amounts TO
saying that the person In question Is
"a little, little woman" or "a small
little woman" French Is usually load
ed anyway.
The same error is made in the
phrase, "close proximity" For "prox-
unity" Is always close" In fact, the
writer doesn't know of anything that's
closer than proximity
II is the uniform and invariable
practice of some authors-but wait
moment! Uniform" and "invariable"
mean the same thing. We're always
laundering into tautology that way.
Mrs. Jones accidentally broke her
leg the other day. Well. does anybody
think that Mrs. Jones would break her
leg purposely? It's hardly necessary
to say that the fracture was "acci-
dental"
Theodore Roosevelt, doubtless. has

It? We'd better leave out the ahead
Of him"
In our youth We used to think 1t
funny to hear someone say: She's q
poor widow woman; her husband is
dead" We didn't know then that this
doleful remark Is very Pathological,
but We had some glimmerings OF logic,
Just the same.
There was fatal drowning in
Jamaica pond the other day. Did you
ever know of drowning that wasn't
fatal? And did you ever know of yer

SAL" or monopoly" that wasn't

The Duty Of Republicans.

Inc Outy or Republicans.
To the Editor Of The Times: | read
In The Times Of the ludicrous at
tempts OF the Republican nominees to
get out from under" Mr.. Owens.
1t strikes me that II Mr.. Owens
was strong enough to be nominated
without the support Of the party. sure
ly he should stand well with its united
support
He Is almost certain to make a good
run with the working man, and he
may show up those candidates who
are opposing him as their leader.
Your article quotes Mr.. Shepherd
as follows: 1T will be made clear
to Mr.. Owens within the next two
weeks that not one OF the party or
CARNATIONS will recognize him as the
candidate" etc. Mr.. Shepherd Is not
the Republican party In Detroit; in
fact he Is only $4,000 part OF II and
that party has just decided that ii
wants Mr.. Owens.
This much Is clear: Mr.. Owens has
fighting blood in his veins and shows
no disposition to listen to the faint
hearted In his party who desire his
withdrawal
The primary laws were enacted for
the purpose of giving to the people
the right to nominate their own can
didates, and now these men want to
nullify the peoples choice.
| think the best thing that the Re-
publican candidates can do is to stick
together and vote for Mr.. Owens, for
If they gig back on him 1t will be
every man for himself and that spells
defeat.

There's a good deal OF resemblance
between a motorboat and an automo-
bile. They steer the same way-with
a wheel. And just as often they steer
a different way. And they smell alike
when scorching.
Instead of an extra tire the motor
boat carries life preserver. II looks
just like an extra tire, however, and

AN ACTRESS TRICK.

Nine. Sarah Bernhard, who Is sup
posed to be something of an artist
as we'll as an actress, was recently
called upon in one Of her marvellous
creations to enact the role or
sculptor and to model certain bust
In view of the audience.
This fairly electrified the critics,
but when going into rhapsodies over
the technical skill in handling the clay
which Nine. Bernhard exhibited they
showed that they knew little of the
artistic tricks of actors and actresses;
as a matter of fact, she does nothing
OF the kind. The bust Is modelled
and baked, and over it is placed damp
clay of the same color. This the
actress merely pulls off leaving. the
beautifully modelled head underneath.

To the Editor OF The Times
have been a subscriber OF The free
Press for over 40 years and can can
cidly say that after reading their edi'

IL seems to me that the Free Press

sanction Senator Burrows nomina-
ton. Personally speaking, l am

The insurgency movement Is
spreading fast and furious, over our
country, today, so much SO that the
states of Maine and Vermont, saying
nothing about Michigan, cannot be
depended upon by the Republican
party. No man can tell the outcome
OF this movement, one trying to adopt
itself to circumstances in attempting
to hold the balance between Repub-
licanism and Democracy; but come
what may, be the signs good or bad,
most assuredly We can predict that
with the possible election of Mr..
Hemans as governor OF the state OF
Michigan. and VIM. M. Thompson as
mayor of Detroit, and majority Of
certain candidates for the state legis-
lature in this supposed "rock-ribbed
Republican state, the prosperity OF
our state and city will go on with
leaps and bounds even in spite of the
rhetoric and mud-throwing of the Free
Press, trying in its own little puny
sinister and nefarious way to please
everybody and pleasing nobody

REPAYS HALFPENNY IN
FIVE YEARS

The sum OF one halfpenny has just
been repaid to the Hull corporation un-
der curious circumstances. Five years
ago an old lady who lives in an out-of-
the-way part Of Yorkshire went to Hull
and rendered two halfpennies for her
fare on a tramcar. One OF the coins
fell and the conductor refused to take
another, saying he would find the one
on the floor. When the old lady re-
turned to her country home the miss
ing halfpenny fell out of her umbrella.
and though II was five years before
she again visited Hull, her first care
was to call and repay the corporation.
