Cleansing the Wells of English.

There is little enough for Poet Laureate to do
these DAYS so it is not difficult to understand why
Dr. Bridges has set himself to the task of rescuing
the English language from slovenly tongues. Buster
mortals might prefer smaller task But Dr.
Bridges. with the aid of Mr.. Thomas Hardy, the
editors of the oxford English Dictionary and sun
dry other oxford professors. is eagerly organizing
"a society of scholars for the encouragement of
the of pure English
Dr. Brldgcs's criticism of present day corruptons
has already been published "Neycher for nature
"chiune" for tune" 'powing' for pouring" the
omission of the III from wheel and "when"-all
the modern slurring of difficult syllabes arouses his
ire. He would send Engshmen to Ireland or
Scotland to learn their ar and 'h.'
There has been chorus Of praise for the move
ment. And yet the very praise has indicated the

PORTO RICO AND PHILIPPINES
Their Difference in Law. Morals and
Expcdiency.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir. In a recent editorial article YOU
may have misled your readers who have
not followed the subject. and ] call upon
YOU 10 explain and set them right on the
following point
You urge that there is no distinction
between our relations to the Philippines
and 10 Porto Rico True. both were
coded By the Spanish OF the same terms
But did not the Porto Ricans welcome
us with open arms Is there any eyl-
dence that We did not occupy with the
consent OF the governed How differ
ent with the Philippines? There was an
organized government OF people who
had been passioratcly lighting for indie
pendence FOR generations and against an
alien oppressor To obtain the consent
OF the governed We had 10 send 5000
men. armed and equipped with the most
destructive weapons. before they con
scuted" Does The Tribune see no diner-
ence from u moral point OF View
Coming to matters OF policy, how stands
the equation? Which possession is the
more easily defended? Porto Rico is an
appanage OF this continent, physically.
and It's possession 10y great power would

to point out the contrast I'm that respect

to the legal title OF the United States
to those islands In moral title there ~
no such difference as our correspondent
seems to think, If any at all. Both Porto
Rico and the Philippines had long been
protesting and rebeling. whenever posi-
bic. against Spanish disagreement, and
both welcomed the Intervention Of the
United States The best evidence OBJ
taiuable was that the Philippine insur-
rection did not originally include any
well defined notion OF independent ma
tional existence. Expert and impartial
uon-American testimony was that the
masses OF the Fhipinos lid not desire
independence and that Aguinaldo's rebel
Hon represented only one-half of one per
cent Of the population. AS 10 the ques-
ton Of policy. as 10 which possession is
the more easily defended, We cannot con
code its pcrtincncc to what our CORE
spondent regards as primarily moral
issue. His objection to holding the
Philippines on that ground is equivalent
to refusing to perform a duty that is dit-
fCult or costly.-EdI

Our Puzzling Policy in Mexico.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir. ! wish you would explain 10 me
and your other readers this contradic-
ton.
The administration and the newspa-
pers who support It have insisted for
months past that the object of the re-
fusal to have anything TO do With the
Mexican government was 10 discourage
revolutions in Latin-American countries
The administration officials and the same
newspapers openly express their gratih-
cation with the revolutlonists In Mexico.
Does II mean that We are for revolu-
tons when they serve our selfish IN
terests and against them when they do
not? Then why do we talk Of morality
above expediency"?
What does IL mean? PUZZLED.

Sir: The testimony given at the con-

the danger TO workers from exhaustion,
