WORDS AND THE PURIST.

The Arkansas Gazette declares that in presuming to criticise some con- ments in the Gazette on the alleged misuse of certain common English words, "The Log Cabin Democrat has wandered into the green but treacher- ous field of language and should step out before it is gored' doubtless by the very "bulls" which are so often seen charging up and down the col umns of the Gazette.
 In defense of rather pedantic col umn in the Gazette conducted under the title, Words You Use Incorrect ly," it quotes Alfred Ayres and Rich ard Grant White, whose identity, we are courteously informed, the editor of the Log Cabin Democrat may learn by stepping over to Hendrix College and asking some of the professors. Not yet having had an opportunity to consult the professors, We must con- fess that Mir. Ayres is a stranger to us-in fact, the only gentleman of that name with whom we are ac- quainted is the one who advertises his pills and hair vigor through the Log Cabin Democrat. But Dr. White is one of our favorite authors, and we are sure that if he were still alive he would be delighted to acknowledge his indebtedness to the Log Cabin Demo- crat for calling to the Gazettes atten- tion the fact that the English lan- guage is living thing and is con stantly changing.
 We cannot agree with the Gazette s conclusion that the Photographer is . less reliable guide than the purist The faithful Photographer merely seeks to record what is language while the purist undertakes to say what, in his opinion, it should be- A slave to excessive niceties, the purist would fix as the standard for the whole people the diction of compara

THE WOLF"

"The Wolf" Eugene Walters great play of the Hudson Bay country is announced for presentation in this city on Monday night, March 9, at the Grand, with all it's trappings stage accessories, elaborate scenery and light effects, precisely the same as seen in New York and Chicago. MT Allan Dale, the celebrated writer or the New York American, said in the issue of the paper the next morning after the first performance had been given: "Let me say night here with out further barley, that in "The Wolf" MT. Eugene Walter has most assuredly confirmed our impression that he is find" His second play is a melodrama, vivid, but primitive vital, but unfledged. It is direct terse, capitally written, sincere and free from conventional flapdoodle "The Wolf hit the first nighters in spite of all This was an achievement It was a great feat. It proved be- yond the preadventure of doubt that young MT. Walter is made of the right dramatics stuff"

HEALTH OFFICERS URGE
TYPHOID VACCINATION
District Department Issues Precau-
tionary Report for
Vacationers.

Vacationers are urged in report is
sued today by the District health de-
partment to adopt measures OF SAFETY
against typhoid fever infection. OF the
relatively few who left the city on
outings last year, thirty-six developed
this disease. while only 1O1 cases were
leported among the population that re-
manned at home. it is stated. Unless
unusual precautions are taken this
year the same excessive prevalence OF
the malady among those who leave
home will be reported, it is believed.
Typhoid vaccination is recommended
by the department. 1t points out that
Army Corps at Jacksonville, Fla. in
1898, developed nearly 300 cases OF
typhoid fever among 11,OOO men, 2OO
deaths resulting. With vaccination, an
rmy of 1900 on the Texas border In
July, 1911, developed but one case OF
typhoid fever. the patient recovering.
Some Typhoid Causes.
THE undue prevalence of typhoid
fever among vacationers," states the
report. may be attributed, in part, to
unusual susceptibility due to overex-
ertion, indiscretion in diet and SO on.
Polluted water used for drinking and
infected food, and particularly
Nlllhs uIlCledHly IHcLuOOS III inc
and the presence of typhoid
carriers or of persons suffering from
typhoid, are, however. the direct sources
of infection.
Against all of these conditions any
one can guard. A few intelligent in
quiries of the proprietor and of the
local board of health before engaging
and reasonable
of rational observation after
arrival should indicate the extent to
which there is danger and point out the
remedy.
Ordinarily one who has observed
sources of possible infection by typhoid
fever will promptly seek some other To-
cation. He may, however. not find such
sources of danger. even though they
exist. or circumstances may prevent
an immediate retreat. For such per-
sons, and they constitute a large part
of those who leave the city for sum-
mer vacations, safety lies only in per-
sonal immunity to the disease, and this
can be acquired by any one through
typhoid vaccination"

Troubles of Other Countries.

Great Britain is coping with a stu
alton bordering upon civil war.
Russia has barely succeeded in
crushing a revolutionary strike with
copious bloodshed.
France has just finished with the
Caillaux trial, which set Paris on Its
head.
Italy has not yet returned to nor
NAL temperature after the great in
dustrial struggle that eventually took
the form of a general demonstration
against the government and the army.
OF all the heads of great states in
Europe the kaiser alone has entered
the arena with unfettered hands. Will
liam II is apparently satisfied that the
moment has come to convince Russia
that Europe is not to be dominated by
the Cossack. He is playing the game
cautiously. but with the requisite bold
ness When the proper moment comes
he will lay down his card upon the
green-covered table OF diplomacy. That
card is the vast German army.

Gear a Powerful Factor.

There is a mistaken opinion outside
Russia that Nicholas III. czar and auto

Nothing could be farther from the
truth The czar is the decisive personal
force in Russian policy in the present

and Servia, which is threatening Eu-
rope with a general war
Nicholas II remembers with bitter

Obstacle to Gaining Port.
For the past century Russian states-
men have regarded Austria Hungary as
the chief obstacle to the success OF tne
Russian design to obtain an open port
on a southern sea. such IS the port OF
Saloniki or Constantinople.
otn fn
the Russians have been convinced oy
experience that it is inconceivable that
Europe will permit the direct extension
of Russia to the warm waters OF the
Adriatic or the Aegean. Therefore, Rus
sian statecraft has contented itseh
with indirect method of approach
that is by helping some other Slavic
nation such as Servia, to acquire the
port for which Russia has been han
kering.
The desrability of such an acquisition
from the Russian point of view Is based
upon the assumption that in the ripeness
of time the small Slavic nation. so en-
riched will turn over its possession
willy-niiIy. to the colossus Of the north
Therefore when in the first Balkan war
Austria compelled the REIMBURSEMENT OF
the Adriatic coast by Servia and Monte
negro, the car regarded the act as
blow, not so much at Servia as at
Russia.

avoid the fasco of 1909, when Austria

and Herzegovina without SO much as
consulting Russia in advance. and the
disaster of 1912, when Vienna prevented
the placing of the Adriatic ports in

Kaiser Has Great Power.

AS a corollary to this outburst OF race
hatred the demonstrations Of loyalty
for the kaiser and patriotic devotion
to the army by all classes in the en-
pire are an impressive feature OF the
situation. 1t is evident that the kaiser.
in spite OF his occasional clashes with
popular sentiment. Is easily the most
powerful Individual of all the person
ages. royal and otherwise, who have to
do with the task of maintaining the
peace Of Europe in the face of the i'm
minent menace Of war.
Thus. in the united sentiment of his
subjects. the kaiser holds the trump
card in the game which the nations
are playing with death. This circum-
stance is not accidental. 1t is the re-
suit Of a carefully conducted campaign
of publicity.
The strength Of the kaiser's hand
is greatly enhanced by the military and
political situation of the German en-
pire in this tense moment In interna-
tional affairs. Germany is practically
the only great country in Europe which
is internally tranquil today.
