HEADLINE ENGLISH.

Apropos of Thomas Hardys indict-
ment of American Headlines for hav-
ing ruined English literature, a writ
er in the Worlds Work for August
says:
Headline English bars bans, hits,
flays, halts, wires, bolts, Gusts, and
does many other like brief and
breezy meats, but it does them in
season and out of season, frammati-
cally or ungrammatically. Headline
English is language of little words
which have consented to be tortured
into availability for hundreds of sit
uations for which they were not in
tended. 1t has only one tense; 1t
flouts all rules, and ignores all pre-
positions, articles, and adverbs The
headline writer is a person whose life
study and labor is to squeeze as much
OF narrative as possible into the ex-
act number of characters that the
width of column requires. Other
society, the headline writer is by pro-
fession an assassin of English, an an
archist, and a corruptor of morals
Yet his work is more widely read than
that of any other writer. 1t is print
ed in bold face type in the most prom
inent positions. 1t confronts us al
the breakfast table; il calls to us
across the stree-car; it stares up at us
ibpudently from the very gutter in
to which it has fallen. Few can hope
to escape entirely the baneful effects
OF long and constant familiarity tC
which. we are condemned with It's
mutilated. twisted and ugly features
The headline, as we know it il
this country. is an influence adverse
/ to good writing.

1t is evident the bull moose con-

disappointment to
Slow TravelliHg the third party
On The Trail boomers Of Oregon
or The Moose. Only a few Of the
counties of the state
W were present and old Umatilla was
among the missing. This despite the
fact Roosevelt carried this county in
the primary election.

regard the formation Of a third party
as unnecessary. They know that with

other candidate in the field 10 appear
Ia the progressive strength will
merely mean to divide that vote ana
can do the cause no good.
Since the Baltimore convention
was held there has been no need OF
a third party. The bull moose move
!. strictly a selfish affair conducted
for the purpose of nominating Roose-
Welt so that he may ask for another
term as president, in violation OF
precedent that has been observed since
washington's tine. The only excuse
for the third party is that Roosevelt
was defeated at Chicago by unfair
means. II is not sufficient grounds
for the formation of new poilticai
party and the excuse has been weak
ened Of late by developments which
show the bull moosers themselves
are quite ready to be unfair Wheh
they have a good chance.
Nor is. the personnel of the Dull
moose leadership in Oregon at all
attractive. There are good men am
ong them to be sure. But very prom
inent in the crowd are many men OF
the demagogic- ic-get-there-easy stripe
Some of those men were known as
reactionaries until a few months ago

There would have been no cause for
such controversy and no chance for
such delay had the people adopted
the commission plan charter last De-
cember Under the terms of that
charter the control of city affairs,
the water system included, was to be
vested in board of three commits
sioners which officials were to be
paid for their services, The plan
would have fixed responsibility upon
few men to whom the people could
look for good work. The commits
sloners would have been directly sub
servient to the people because the
charter called for the election of two
members every two years.
The commission plan of govern
ment is much better form than the
one we have at present. At present
there is too much shifting of respOn-
sibility, too much squabbling and too
much delay in getting things done. Ii
