The majority of intelligent people
possessing what is called good edu.
cation currently use only a few hun.
bred out of the $4,000 or $4,000 words
that an ordinary desk dictionary OF
the English language contains II
seems that 300 or 400 words suffice
to express the meanings intended tc
be conveyed by most of the letters
that go through the mails.
If you listen to an ordinary CONVEX
sation you will quickly be convinced
that the same poverty of expression
prevails in the oral employment OF
language In this case it is not
so easy to get the figures as in that
of writing, and here the photograph
might be a great aid to anyone who
wished to discover the real facts
about the unemployment of the
English language by the inheritors OF
its riches.
A few photographs placed in bust
ness offices, clubs, PUBLIC schools and
places of social assemblage would
quickly tell the story, and 1t is certain
that that story would not be a credit
able one.
Set phrases, including the same
words, are used over and over by al
most everybody. The thought, such
as it is, is merely sketched in bare
outline. The fewest possible strokes
are used, with almost no shading.
Conversation often becomes a kind
of guessing match, and different
meanings may be read into a speak
er's words by different listeners.
The immense wealth of the lam
guage lies fallow as far as the or
binary person is concerned. He knows
the meaning of thousands of words
when he sees them in print or hears
them from some master of speech,
but they do not form part of his
own mental equipment, and he does
not have them under control ready
to serve him at any moment.
The result is painfully apparent
whenever the average man under
takes to present a new thought, or
when he wishes to be particularly ex-
plicit with regard to some statement.
He cannot find the words to say what
he wants to say. His tongue is tied,
and he presents his thought in so
laundering and fragmentary a form
that he himself loses his grasp upon
it and his mind goes wandering.
And yet he really knows the words

sooner was the great house finished
and the dream of his life complete
than the crash of tremendous ruin
fell on Scott.
It was on a bleak winter morning
in 1926 that friend called at Abb
botsford and found the novelist ter
ribly agitated.
my friend" said Sir Walter to
him, give me your hand; mine is
that of a beggar."
The publishing house with which he
had been connected had failed, and
Scott took upon himself the terrible
burden of satisfying its creditors. 1t
was an apparently hopeless task for
writer, and one in such frail state
of health as Scott, to accomplish.
But where others would have yielded
to fate, he stood up to fight it, and
though the effort cost him his life
he succeeded, and may truly be called

I ROSTRUM
A Democrats Protest.
ltor OF the Evening Star:

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
I was very much surprised when
I read in last nights paper that the
President was coming here to make
a speech favoring Jury reform l
should think he could make better
use of his time. especially just now
when the Japanese situation, the
controversy over the Underwood
tariff bill and hundred and one
other things are bobbing up in WASH
ington to claim his attention.
He announces through his secre-
tary, Joseph P. Tumulty, in the off,
cial Wilson organ of the State that
he is going to carry the fight right
into the territory of 1.-The same old
gang" that he is going to call names
and do various other things.
1 am afraid he will meet with a
very frosty reception. The people of
this county are satisfied with the
way in which iuries are drawn and
with the juries that are drawn. They
have a sheriff whose character is of
the highest. and no amount of
speeches coming even from the Presi-
dent can change their attitude on this
proposition.
True, Mr.. Wilson will probably have
a few supporters. but look them over
and see who they are: Men like
Frank Boettner or Matthews and nu-
merous other office-seekers who
would jump Wilson just as quickly
as they have jumped others.
And will the trip warrant it, after
all? Mr.. Tumulty declared at first
that the President was not coming to
Newark because he could not change
the votes of any Of the Essex as
semblymen. Does he think he can
do so now?
1 would be willing to wager to
that the attitude of not single Es-
sex assemblyman, leaving out of con-
sideration, of course, Matthews, will
be changed and that they will voice
the sentiments of the people they rep
resent to the last ditch

He prospered brilliantly for eleven
years And then came the crash OF
ruin. Scott put his shoulder to the
wheel. His wife died soon after the
struggle began, but, though sick al
heart, he toiled on indomitably. Sue.
cess was his in the end but the strug
gle killed him.
1t was on September 81, 1882, that
Sir Walter Scott died.

the most heroic literary figure in the
world.
Walter Scott was born in Edin-
bugh on August Is, 1771. His father
wanted him to follow his own pro-
fession. that of a lawyer, but the
boy wished to write. He wrote po-
etry at first, but according to the
story turned to prose romance, when
he found that Lord Byron excelled
him as a poet. 1t was in 1914 that
a -"Waverley"-by an anony-
nous author appeared. Its popular
ity swept like wildfire all over Eng
land. Book after book, all of the
same excellence, was published. The
secret of the authorship was jealousy
kept by Scott-for what reason many
guesses have been made-but at last
his name was definitely connected
with this great series-the "Waver-
ley Novels

who Is Haywoode

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Who is this big Bill'' Haywood
that he is allowed to make his way
around the country infaming labor
and melting factory men to make
them give you what you ask for?'' Is
he especially privileged? 1t seems to
me that If anyone else Haunted his
standard in the face of the police, as
Hayward does, he would be before
magistrate in no time.
read in the Star this morning of
the disgraceful situation in Paterson.
1t is apparent that Hayward wants
everything for himself, for, without
the slightest invitation, he dascends
upon an A. f. of L. meeting and calls
upon all loyal members of the In
dustrial Workers of the World to folG
low him. They did, 5000 of them,
and in the two-hour melee several
people were. hurt. Then, when the
crowd surged back into the armory
to hear Haywood speak and were so
disorderly the police had to interfere,
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, whose
strange choice of career makes her
working partner of Haywood, shouted
at the top of her lungs:
you know now where the A. F. of
L. stands. The police are with them"
1.-THE police are with theml' This
is significant of Haywood's work in
Patersony The police cannot inter-
fere, as has already been tested by a
Supreme Court ruling, because Hay
wood is wise enough to know the law
on melting to riot, etc. 1t seems to
me, however. that some steps should
be taken. if for nothing more than to
save Paterson's children from this
labor nightmare.

The Hotel Fad.

In one of the most fashionable ho-
tels in New York half dozen million
aire families are getting ready to
move. There is nothing the matter
with the hotel they are leaving. They
have no fault to find with 1t. But
they all have the same fad. They
move every six months or so. Every
time a new and gorgeous hotel is
opened in New York these half dozen
families move into Il. They like to
be the first to have apartments in
each newly finished hosiery. Elk

Crlticlzes wilson's Action.
Editor of the Evening Star:

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir-I think it is outrageous that a
public high school should be utilized
by the President of the United States
for advocating politics. and this is
just what the President intends to
do on May at the Jersey City High
School auditorium, when he comes
here to advocate his pet measure,
Jury reform. "
A public school building is not the
proper place to make such speech.
There are plenty of large halls in
Jersey City which would serve the
purpose much better and would not
cause any adverse criticism.
