FOB BETTER ENGLISH.

Readers of many current books, par
ticularly books of fiction, know be-
yond doubt that ultra-modern writer's
with but extremely few exceptions
show on nearly every page of their
productions sad ignorance, or disre-
gard, of English grammar and word
values. Drunk" instead of drank"
like" in the place of "as If. who"
In lieu of whom" and vice versa. and
a host of other errors of similarly
elemental sort, are found continually
by the man who reads lot of current
novels-till he's actually astonished
when he happens to come across one
of the rare truly Well-written novels
which have style-corrections and ele-
gance. What is the reason? Is it
the last ten or twenty years aversion
on the part of us Americans. espe-
cially-to classic education? Is it the
rushing. into the field of letters of too
many persons who are meant to WELD
a hoe and not a pen? Is 1t the care
lessness of publishers or their COM
Q9ercialistic, cold Indifference to real
art, it's rights and it's demands? One
thinks that 1t is all of these. perhaps.
Unquestionably not a little of the ig-
norance in question may be traced to
the contempt for classic knowledge
which distinctly marks the mental at
titude of the younger America. and
which has been allowed to have its
way to send the classics into exile.
Then there are hundreds Of would-be
authors who are utterly unqualified
and they find publishers, somehow.

To the ordinary man the difference
between a profession and calling Is
indistinct. But the law makes a
sharp distinction. This is well illus
trated by recent decision Of the
supreme court Of Washington. A sur
veyor was employed to give the lines
of lot that the owner might put up
building. Later the city notified the
owner that his building projected sew
eral feet over the property line. and
he sued the surveyor for the expense
of moving it back. The interesting
. thing about the case was the claim of
the surveyor that he was not paid for,
nor Cd he make a guaranteed survey,
but that he had made mistake in
judgment This the court would not
allow. In a profession, judgment plays
an important part; in calling. rea-
sonable skill and accuracy are more
essential. from a legal point of view.
Consequently the courts do not as a
rule hold a lawyer or physician re-
sponsible for errors of judgment; it
Is clients business to engage men
of good judgment. Under the Wash
ington courts ruling surveying Is a
calling and not profession.

delegates from the First, Third,
Fourth and Thirteenth districts
eight in ala total Of twelve for the
day, against none for Roosevelt.
In the First district fight the vote
was unanimous, the Roosevelt men
joining with the Taft members or the
committee. In the Third district there
was smattering of unidentified noes
in the viva voce ballot, but no roll call
was asked. In the Fourth the Roose-
welt contest was withdrawn and the
Taft men were seated unanimously.
In the Thirteenth there was real
fight, but the Taft men were seated by
a vote of 36 to IA. This contest also
required more than two hours for It's
hearing, because of battle over the
presentation of II aff1davits by the
Roosevelt men. BY vote OF 20 to ~
the committee refused to permit them
to be admitted, because they had not
made their appearance soon enough
for their examination by the Taft
men. Despite this vote the committee
directed that the affidavits be read.
This makes "a contested delegates al

confirmed are Col Harry S. New and

of the Republican national convention
will disclose $50 votes for William H.

roll call that T. R. will control the
committee on credentials.
