A GRAMMER THAT MAKES
ENGLISH EASY

Ems u
There has been discovered in the
east an English grammar, publish
ed at Baltimore Md, in the year OF
1918. 1t is a modest effort covering
ia pages. The author is James
Gray, -. d. an instructor i'm Bal
tmore college during the early part
of the nineteenth century.
The preamble occupies at least
one-third of the little volume and
from accounts, 'tis the preamb bic
that is particularly interesting. DR..
Gray was an inventor and because of
that talent his grammar Is no more
like a grammar than an ocean grey
hound is similar to a canal boat. DR..
Gray, as a starter, states tersely.
THE history of the grammars of
modern languages is curious and in
in Europe, the Latin and Greek
languages, especially the former,
were cultivated with great assiduity
The languages of the European ma
tions were at that time barbarous
tongues, and in their structure very
remote from the complicated and
artificial combinations of the Latin
and Greek. The grammarians, there
fore, when they could not find word
in their tongues which expressed the
full meaning of Latin word Ca verb
for instance) were forced to employ
two, or three or four of their native
words When they afterward tun-
dertook to reduce their own langua-
ges to grammatical rules, the Latin
language was the universal and only
standard of comparison: and they
copied the vernacular side of the
pages of their Latin grammar, and
called 1t the grammar OF their re-
spective tongues"
IL Is here that DIR. Gray departs
from his contemporaries and II ever
again he returns to them IL Is
certainly not discovered i'm the pre-
amble to his little book. In fine. he
alike abuses and renounces the Lat
in model---labels II an'unessentiol
hardship'-and having eased his
conscience In that regard, COURAGEOUS
ly spreads out his further deduc-
tions for the benefit and welfare of
that part Of the general public still
in knickerbockers and feminist eng
lish as she is taught"
Speaking of the verb, the doctor
affirms:
i am perfectly satisfied 1hat the
English language has no more than
one voice, one mode and two lenses;
and that by abolishing our distlnc-
tons OF voices, modes and tenses
"hich nave no existence in our
language; and by taking our yer,
exactly as we find it, English gram
mar may be learned in half the time
at present devoted to it, and ten
times better purpose"
This is glorious news-if true. or
rhe doctor is not mistaken. How
fortunate at any rate, that his little
volume has escaped the ravages of
tune and mice and the rummaged

ne was looking for something else

Chicago, March 23.-"Dhe blow

as to be absurd, II would be serious

on and custom and cannot stand. II

lative of all of the rights of the men

This is the statement made to the

neys for the big packing interests
which were hit yesterday by the SIM
ultaneous return of indictments
against the National Packing com
pany and subsidiaries and the filing
of bill in equity for the dissolution
of the National company.
"'rhe indictment of men for con-
Quoting their business according to
the methods of business men for
centuries is against all common law,
statutory law, custom and precedent
If that Indictment could be made to
stand ii would be an end to business.
The relations between the govern
ment and corporations are contrac-
tual. A reputation of its obliga-
tions to protect the corporation by
the government would be involved in
the upholdlng of such an Indictment"
