The Harvard College Yard.

From the Boston Advertise.
When the commencement Of last Juno
was being held We made the prediction
that IL would probably be the last COM
mencement day which would be observed
in the college yard at Harvard Some ar
rangement Will probably be made, before
next June, for holding the commence
ment day. as well as the cIass-day exer-
cises at Harvard elsewhere. and mainly
at the stadium. II may be surmised. The
old and stately trees have gone; the ar
chitecture which was appropriate TO the
yard is not longer advisable, because the
conditions OF the yard have been changed
radically. We expect to see other build
ings than the Widener museum installed
there.
The use Of land by Harvard, of course,
in most cases means that the property is
forever freed from taxation. This has
excited more or less caustic criticism at
times This criticism is unfair and un-
reasonable. because Cambridge does not
really lose any taxes In the operation,
because the use Of land for college pur-
poses merely serves to throw open some
other and unoccupied land to business
purposes instead, and certainly the tax
receipts OF Cambridge are very much
larger than they would be II the college
were not located there. But the Cam
brige public still harps on this old and
Lnsound argument, and President Lowell
has felt 1t wiser to act as II the criticism
had some real basis. So the college Is
carefully planning to have as little land
as possible taken from business or resi-

tories the city will receive just the income
it would have had II the land were still
taxable.
Under this policy. then, IT is likely that
the college will use the yard for other
buildings as the need for them may arise.
Under such an arrangement even the un-
sound criticism already noted could not
apply, for the yard has been free from
taxation for generations. For that mat
ter, II might be more in keeping with
the architectural designs of a former
century II the new building should lack
such modern Innovations as hot water
heat and electric light. or even proper
ventilation. but we do not believe that a
zeal for controlled harmony" will pre-
vail, in spite OF the logic of such a prop
osition to the situation. Harvard is
working to utilize its efforts to the best
advantage OF education. and anything
which stands in the way OF that policy
must give way TO the more practical con-
siderations.

spuriou. Americani.,n..

Thomas r. LocnSbury in Hsrper's Magazine.
The manufacture of spurious American
isms has never ceased to continue in
tinctive of this country. our earliest vo-
cabularies abounded. Nor have they been
absent from the latest. though with the
progress of time and the advance of
knowledge they have been steadily be-
coming fewer. Nevertheless. old exam
pies are liable to turn up at any time
in unexpected quarters, and new ones

American and obsolete" says the COM
piler. Obsolete it assuredly is. But what
authority is there for asserting 1t to be
an Americanism. 1t may be asked. The
reason given Is that in this sense it is
not found in the new historical English
dictionafy. Such an extraordinary infer
ence is q curiously belated survival of
faith in the omniscienee of lexicograph-
ers which once prevailed widely. As a
matter of fact, author meaning editor
was for a long time fully authorized
word. in English. 1t Is no more an
Ameficanism than is editor itself. The
latter in its present most customary
sense is of comparatively late intro
duction into the language. Editors Of

The Pacific-Interior Railroad.

Grants Pass Observer: A while
ago the city of Grants Pass voted for
the issue of 100000 bonds for rail
way construction westward to Cres-
cent City on the Pacific coast. Bids
were asked for these bonds a week
ago last Monday, and only one was
received, though there were over
twenty letters OF what might be
called inquiry. The time of receiv-
ing bids was extended by the city
council to Saturday last, but there
were no more bids, though other let
ters of inquiry. The fact of the mat
er is that the bonds are not legal,
and a bill is now before the state
legislature to legalize them so far
as the legislature has power to do
so. This bill is Backed by Senator
Smith and Representative Blanchard
of Josephine county and will prob
ably be made law, as the matter is
not of concern to other members of
the legislature, and in that event
bond houses will probably desire to
bid Under present conditions they
are not. The stumbling block is in
Article HI, Section 8, OF the Oregon
constitution, which reads
/ "No county, city, town or other
municipal corporation, by vote of its
! citizens or otherwise, shall become a
stockholder in any joint stock COM
pany, corporation or association
whatever, or raise money for, or loan
It's credit to, or IN aid of any such
company, corporation or associa-
ton
When Grants Pass voted the $500
! 600 bonds for railway construction
there was no organized company or
corporation to prosecute the work,
and the bonds voted did not conflict
with the above clause of the consti-
tuition; but shorty afterwards, the
proposed railway was incorporated
as the "Pacific-Interior Railroad, "
and this came directly under the pro-
visions OF the fundamental law above
quoted. Hence the unwillingness of
bond houses to deal for city bonds
that are contrary to the constitution
of the state.
Last Saturday evening the city
council rejected all bids and pest
poned the matter for ten days, as
sumably in the expectation that by
that time the enabling bill would
be passed by the legislature.
This turn of railroad affairs is
much regretted by the citizens of
Grants Pass generally. But the
cause is not lost. Anticipated action
by the legislature will probably put
things right again, or other methods
of handling the bonds may be de-
vised. Meantime the Observer feels
that the people of Grants Pass and
Josephine county are entitled to a
fair understanding of the position.
