THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Short and clear as usual, the Presidents
message to Congress deals almost. exclu-
sively with domestic issues-principally
with the railroad situation. The only for
eign matter to which allusion is made is the
Porto Rican government bill-showing
that our international relations are on a
perfectly routine and safe basis. The high
cost problem, he will probably make the
subject of special message, unless con-
gressional'initiative indicates speedy solu-
ton of the difficulties.
Again endorsing the Eight-Hour day, the
President made even stronger his position
in compulsory arbitration, and also. called
for the Judgment of railroad control in the
hands of the executive, in case of military
necessity lesson learned from our recent
mobilization to the border.
Other points urged in the Message are
the corrupt practices bill and the Webb bill,
removing the antitrust structures from
trade combinations to sell abroad.
As a state paper, the message possesses
no unusual features per Sc. 1t urges no
new constructive legislation, but is rather
the reiteration of policies already express
ed. It's strength lies rather in suppression
and not interfering with the executive de
partments-an attitude essentially demo
cratic.

SOUTHERN DIALECT

Of course the dialect-so-called- the
South needs no defense. AS professor Scott,
University of Michigan, says, "dawg' is
every bit as logical as dog" "Dawg'
looks funny, but it is simply the typograph-
fcal representation to others of the value we
give vpwels. It indicates slight drawl, if
you please. We don't bark it "dog-dog-
dog like gasoline engine; we linger on
the letter with a diminuendo, ritardendo
caress, as it were. BY the same token, we
say "dawg" and "hawg,' but we spell them
right.
A certain yap-yap element like the Chi
cago Tribune, which makes fun (a1leged)
of Southern recommendations lays itself open
to similar charges from the English; but
even the English English is a dialogue.
Compare it with the Yorkshire pronuncia-
tons for instance; compare it with the
other provinces. Yet English as it is writ
ten and used essentially the same every
where. 1t is only in the pronunciation in
depreciation of the letters, if you will allow
another musical figure, that there is. any
difference of opinion. And who shall say
whose pronunciation is basically correct?
Northerners coming South think our
Southern talk is beautiful We agree.
Southerners, going north, think the North
ern talk is beautiful They agree But
neither of us have tried to change, and it is
we'll To thine own self be truel
AS long as you don't use the double mega
tive or the split infinitive or say ''ketch,
and as long as you put the accent where the
dictionary says, and tell the truth, your use
of the English language will not be open to
question:

THE SCRATCH PAD
BY THOMAS EWING DABNEY.

The Christmas carol of the future:
Peace on earth, boycott on eggs.
Speaking about H. C. L., how about
trapping sparrows for food?
Newspaper editors win be pleased
to learn that King George needs a
cabinet too.
Who started the Greek trouble is
mystery that bids fair to rival the
question, Who hit Billy Patterson?
AS the New Orleans States sees it.
the opening of congress is recur-
renee of the foot and-mouth disease.
The colonel has written an article
telling how it happened, but we
didn't find any tear drops on the page.
And there's many bad egg hang
ing around the street corners that it
would be well for the girls to boy
colt.
It's all very well to put an embargo
on butter, but one way to knock the
price down would be to take the ten
cent tax off oleomargarine.
Greece is still Neutral, but as Old
King Tino watches the fighting that
goes on in the streets of Athens.
there are times no doubt when he
signs for war.
In time of spring a young mans
fancy lightly turns to thoughts of
love, and if this weather keeps up, we
predict, that the candy and flower
markets are in for an awful punish
ment.
Working day and night the United
States mint turned out nearly ten
million dimes in November, and at
this rate it will be eight months be-
fore there will be enough to match the
" million eggs that are being held
for ransom by the robber food baron
of Chicago.
Those Kentucky huntsmiths laid in
enough ammunition to sweep the hor-
lion with their volleys, and over
whelm all game caught within the ra-
dius of the range by the crushing
weight of the descending lead; and
the fishermen have enough bait to
preserve all the specimens in the
Smithsonian Institute.

Judges Do Not Hold
Inherent Power

Washington, Dec. THE supreme
court held today that federal judges
do not possess inherent power with
out specific congressional authority
to susrend the execution of criminal
sentences. This power had been exer-
cised for a century.
The suspension by District Judge
Killits, of Ohio, of the sentence of
James ]. Hanahan, Toledo bank
embezzler, was revoked.

They were then sold to the Hotel St
Regis for 43 cents dozen, to dealers for 45
and so cents, and to people for so cents
Five months is long time between cackle
and chuckle, and maybe that's the reason
why eating an egg is such a solemn affair );
but these eggs were not sent around Cape
Horn; oh, no. All the transactions from
the time of the first sale by the Decatur
Produce Company to the w. Martin &
Bro, took place in New York. Every sale
was purely paper speculation, for the eggs
were never moved, storage dues and insur-
ance having been paid on them up to Jan
uary 1, 1917 and for five mortal months
they have been allowed to pile UP strange
tlavors and unholy prices, while the plain
people held the sack-a painfully empty
money bag!
