THE NEWSPAPER LINEUP
Evidently Hughes will get the big
end of Chicago newspaper support.
The Trib is rabidly anti-Wilson and
prO-Hughes. The Hearst papers are
Historically anti-Wilson, but haven't
yet gone the limit for Hughes. But
they are playing the Wall street
game just the same. The News is
the fairest and least partisan of all,
with the Herald running a close Sec
Ond. The Post has gone over with
Perkins and Teddy into the Hughes
camp, and the Journal is the only
supporter of Wilson. AS the line of
cleavage develops, property will go
mainly over onto the Hughes side,
with humanity on the Wilson side
and if the News and Herald begin to
slant Hughes will get the benefit of
the breaks. So of the loop press the
Journal will be practically alone as
an open supporter of Wilson, handi-
capped only by a sort of alliance with
the local Republican administration
From a non-paTtisan viewpoint, the
Daily News, thus far, is far and
away the fairest and best Chicago
newspaper. In fact, it is one of the
greatest newspapers in the country
today, and, in my judgment, much
more entitled to call itself the

MAYOR THREATENS
 TAX RATE JUMP IF
 BONDS ARE REFUSED

Unless you pass the proposed bond issues it is within the province of the board of apportionment to reconvene and to raise the tax rate so that the levy will be 35.4 mills.'' Mayor Wilson declared last evening speaking at the annual dinner of the Tew1fth District Republican club. The dinner was held in the Brookside Athletic club in Newfeld avenue. The mayor said that unless the voters agreed to bond the city for more than two million dollars, there would be great in crease in the tax rate at once to meet the cost of the proposed improve ments.
 The other speaker was John T. King, who intimated that Col Theo- dore Roosevelt will not have a, chance for the Republican nomination for president. City Clerk Robinson was toastmaster.

SHOE IS IMPORTANT
 IN DRESS OF WOMEN


 The women's stylish footwear dis played in the show cases of Every woman's Shoe storej at 1,206 Main stret has attracted much attention from the fashionably dressed persons of Bridgeport. A retreat into the par Iors devoted to selection and fitting shows an even greater variety of mod ern footwear than is conceivable to the ordinary mind.
 Styles, varieties of lasts and color ings this year are extensive in their variety and a woman to be dressed classify must consider carefully the shoe in connection with her other clothing. To be guided properly re- quires both assortment and the advice of one we'll versed in the mode and art of fitting.
 Everywonan's Shoe store is ~partic- 1larly well equipped to add to the at tractiveness of old and young and the l models which have been collected for Bridgeport's elite are worth close scru- tiny. Style and quality have been combined at the Everywoman's store this year with harmony and fitness for any costume and epecial attention has been given to the Ivory Kid boot which New Yorks best dressed women are wearing. It gives that dash to the appearance that is needed. | A trip to the store will greatly sur prise the average woman because the decfen of fashion has been carefully recerded here and consistently carried to fu1lness.

DROPPING GRAMMAR.

Awoman was telling the other day about her husbands tricks of speech. He is descended from one of the most aristocratic families of the state and had every educational advantage. But now at his factory he constantly as- sociates with uneducated men, and makes the same kind of errors in speech that they do. If he had less social prominence, he would be call ed an ignoramus. One can forgive the workingnan who never had much
 chance Sat schooling, for such blum
 ders. But when a college bred man says fAin't this fne?" it does seem rather sloven1y:
 Perhaps this man was an exempli- fication of the fad of dropping study
 of formal grammar in school. This educational theory has influential spokesmen, as will be seen in an ad- dress just delivered by an official of the General Education Board of New
 York, concerning which the board
 asks for a, general expression of opin- ion.
 Some people ask, What use is gram to say them things as ''those things-?'' The meaning is perfectly
 clear, and if so, is not the purpose of speech observed? Yet there would be no end of confusion if the bars of
 grammar were let down. A fixed agreement, that certain forms are to
 be used for certain ideas promotes clarity of thought. The mind grasps
 the regular form more quickly than
 an irregular one. Ease of expression
 and understanding aare promoted by the practice of regularity.
 Some advanced educators, while ] holding firmly to the need of gram mar, argue that you don't need to teach it in set lessons. If the child hears correct forms in school, he will speak them afterward, they argue. This seems to ignore the influence | of ones surroundings after quitting
 school, when one encounters a flood | of incorrect speech in daily life. The | memory of the way you used to speak | in school or college fades out. Then comes in the use of the old parsing | lesson. The memory of nouns and verbs and possessives and objectives, what they means and how they were
 related, comes back like rock amid the sands.
