When Language Fails.

The English tongue, as taught in schools, and governed by grammatic rules, is good enough, most times; twas good enough for Scott and Pope when they pro- duced their brilliant dope, their stories and their rhymes. Twas good enough for Shakespeare, too, who wrote "The Tanning of the Shrew," and all of Bacon's $ plays; and Coleridge found it good hot stuff, and Wordsworth thought it rich enough in which to frame his lays. It's good enough for those who teach, and
 for the gifted men who preach, for JuriStS of renOWn; but when the sporting writers fall to work Co write up games of ball, the ton que is out and down. They 'bOr- TOW something from the Greek
 and from the tongue the Choctaws speak and from the EskimOs they draw some symbols from the Slavs and ancient tombs are split in halves for adverbs no one knows. l read the daily baseball yarn and then go out behind the barn where l can swear in peace l cannot tell, when all is done

Alaska Railway Secret.

The real object of the current Alaska railway investigation is
 not so we'll known as it ought to
 be. By slow degrees it is leading up to the disclosure of the real mystery of the panic of 1907. The real reason for the construction
 of the Copper River railway was
 not railroading. It was intended to bring the glaciers within reach
 of the New York market and so break Morse's ice trust in order
 that the United States Steel Cor
 poration might acquire the Ten
 n'essee Coal X Iron company.
 In the rear subcellar there is anOthef even more damaging
 mystery awaiting disclosure of
 what IS well known to be an ev-
 en smaller number of malefac- tors. After the Alaskan glaciers
 had smashed the ice trust the in- |tention was to stop the Alaskan supply and raise the price so that
 the steel trust could run it's blast furnaces with the ill-gotten pro-
 fits and put the American Feder- ation of Labor out of business by raising wages above any dream of Gompers. These disclosures may come any day, and the Alas kan investigation which is now
 running under single-line heads
 on the inside pages will then fill
 the first pages under double-col-
 umn scare heads. There has been
 nothing like it since the escape
 of the animals at Central park or the moon hoax.--New York Times.
