This strategy of the Romans was

are gaining that which is most valuable

using in many ways that are to their
advantage. In the first place they are

BOOKS AND MAGAZINES

1t is well for us to forget that the
past history of language must neces-
sarily be traced by means of written
records, these are to be regarded as
affording us merely an indication of
what was actually taking place in the
spoken language itself. Change in
language implies a change in the men
tai and physical habits of the living
human beings who speak the language.
In H. C. Wyld's "A Short History of
English" e. P. Dutton & Co., the in
quiry is largely on the problem of the
origin and development of that form
of English which is now spoken by
educated and well-bred people, and,
of that form which for the last four
or five centuries has been that used
in the composition of private or public
documents, no matter what the native
form of speech of the writers might
be. In such a book as Mr.. Wyld's
the study of the history of English
must be supplemented by the study
of the language itself, as 1t exists in
the actual documents of the different
periods. His work is a very valuable
addition to the "History of English
and is not a mere piercing together of
materials gathered from older text
books. All that the best history of
English ever written can do for a stu
dent is to act as a guide to the path
which he must tread anew for him

VXTAsHINGTON, D. c., July IA

VXTAsHINGToN, D. c., July IA
wv Elihu Root is apparently the first
choice of leading Republicans of
the country for the nomination for
President in 1915. Senator John w.
Weeks of Massachusetts and ex-Sen-
ator Theodore E. Burton of Ohio have
countrywide support and next to Sem
ator Root are highest in favor with
Republican politicians.
1t is evident from a canvas conduct
ed by the Washington bureau of the
New York Sun that if the Republican
convention were held to-day and the
state OF New York presented Mr..
Roots name to the convention with
his consent he would be nominated.
With Mr.. Root out of consideration
the choice would appear to be between
Senator Weeks and ex-senator Bur-
ton.
More than 500 letters sent out from
the Washington bureau of The Sun to
acquaintances and friends throughout
the country have brought responses
which lead inevitably to the conclusion
given above.
The information was given in each
instance upon the assurance that the
names of the writer's of the letters
would not be published. That, of
course was necessary in order to OBJ
tain frank expression of opinion. The
object of the inquiries was to elicit in
formation as to local conditions in the
various States upon which a fair esti-
mate could be made of the political
sentiment of the country
Burton's Prospects
Senator Burton's prospects depend
upon the State of Ohio If he can DEM
onstrate at an early date that he will
have the united support of his State
delegation he will be formidable. Such
at least is the opinion generally eX-
pressed by men who have responded
to The Suns inquiries.
Senator Burton's chances have been
menaced by an incipient boom for
Governor Willis and covert move
ment for Senator Harding. EXAM
much discussed, but the friends of Mr..
Burton apparently believe that there
can be no Misunderstanding between
the two men when the time comes.
Senator Burton's friends express con-
fidence that Governor Willis will be
found giving his support to Senator
Burton at the proper time.
Michigan will send an instructed
delegation for Senator William Alden
Smith, but up to this time, if the infor-
nation that has come to The Sun is
correct, Senator Smith has made no
great progress outside of his own
State. A Michigan authority who can
not be questioned writes:
Senator Smith will undoubtedly
have the support of the Michigan dele
cation. I hear of very little opposi-
ton to him anywhere. Senator Bur-
ton is respected highly for his ability,
the same as are Senator Weeks and
Senator Root. If any one of these
three should be nominated he will re-
ceive the practically unanimous sup
port Of the party"

MAGAZINE CENSORSHIP

NTHER cities might well turn their
attention to the censorship which
Pittsburgh has prescribed for its
magazines. Henceforth publications
overstepping the bounds of morality
and propriety will fare badly in that
city. Orders which established four
Pittsburgh policewomen who will act
as a bureau of censorship to pass upon
ell magazines and which require the
bureau of police to be on the watch
flor obscene or improper material in
those publications were issued yester-
day by Charles S. Hubbard, director
'of the Department of Public Safety.
The penalty for transgression will be
the prohibiting of sale OF the offending
issue in Pittsburgh and news dealers
who fail to observe such prohibition
will be subject to arrest, according to
tie director, upon a serious charge.
It is a shameful thing that such a
police order should be regarded as
necessary. The magazine ought to be
as high a moral influence in the home
as any literature that goes into it.
Attractively printed, beautifully illus
trated, and edited with especial thought
toward attracting the attention of the
casual reader, the magazine falls nat
urally, into the hands of those of i'm
mature thought or those whose habits
of life make them most easily in
f1uenced by their reading.
If these publications came merely to
the attention of men and women of
mature age the effects might not be so
bad, but unfortunately they lie upon
the reading table where young and old
may have free access to them. Maga-
zine reading is a desirable habit and a
pleasant recreation. There is so much
worth while in even the worst of the
magazines that their danger is doubled
by the difficulty of selecting what is
good and rejecting that which is bad.
Indeed there are some magazines
which make a specially of appealing
to both sense and sensuality; to both
the moral and the depraved.
Pictures and stories that would not
have been tolerated in the United
States mail only few years ago, much
less permitted in the family circle.

lies the heads of which regard them
selves as above reproach and who
would be highly indignant If 1t were
1ntimated that they are careless of the
influences to which they subject those
whose welfare they have most at heart.
The evil has reached such an extent
in Harrisburg that the local police
would be well justified in following
the admirable example set by Pitts
burgh. The only reason for the
obscene and the salacious in the
popular magazine is the appeal for
circulation. Remove that and the
editors and publishers will return to
sane and common sense methods of
attracting readers. If a half-dozen or
more cities in the United States bar
from sale within their limits COPIES of
all offending magazines it will not he

will have been accomplished.

If increased profits of business are
wholly or largely due to the in
creased efficiency of the employe, then
certainly he is entitled to his share
in them, but unfortunately for the
success of this plan. the proitsactual-
ly realized from such a business as
that of traction company depend SO
much upon good management by the
employer that their amount may not
vary proportionately with the increas-
ed zeal and efficiency OF the employe.
Motormen and conductors. by cour-
tesy, promptness and avoidance of ac-
cidents, may increase the earnings of
the company for which they work, but
bad management at the head of the
concern may result in an actual loss
of business for any given period.

On the contrary, if the prof1t-shar-

the employing trolley company, then
the system is unfair to the corpor-
alton. A plan that does not work
both ways is scarcely good business,
at all events. and a proft-sharing
scheme that does not involve loss

one side.
A careful review of the profit-shar-

the peculiar character of that of Hen

maker, profit-sharing on the basis OF
uninterrupted employment appears to
be giving very satisfactory results.
