MAN OF FINE ArrAINMENTs

The announcement OF the death,
in Chicago, Of the Rev. Karl Keck,
for number of years pastor of the
German NJ r. church Of South Bend
occasioned genuine grief among the
people Of this city who had learned

this field. Though largely self-made
educationally. he rose TO unsual
heights in literary attachments. He
excelled especially in poetical pro-
auctions A valuable prize was
awarded him while residing in this
city for a soulful poetical tribute TO
Bismarck. Though strongly attach

a sturdy American in the best ac-

flinchingly for judicial. social and

pleasure and supreme satisfaction.

by his sojourn therein. Would that

AN IGNORANT CRITICISM.
Rochester, n. Y, HeraldD


A recent issue Of the Bookman
contained an article by Florence
Finch Kelly, entitled "Speedingup
the Author" that said a number of
true things. yet revealed that its
author was quite as ignorant, gram
matically speaking, as some Of the
American authors whom she be-
labored

the part Of Mrs. Gene Stratton-POr-
ter, shared, unless their works belle
them. by many other American au-
thOrs. that none" means several.
There is not a word in the dictionary
more emphatically and distinctively
OF the singular number. and to use a
plural verb with it is as careless. as
criminally abusive OF the English
language. as to say I'VE is here. "
But one finds it SO used time and
again in current bOoks-the result,
doubtless. of speeding-up, of hurry
and carelessness."
Now. Mrs. Kelly. you are wrong.

been used indifferently as a singular

late Prof. Lounsbury OF Yale, who
knew more about the English Ian
guage than almost any other gram
marian OF the last few decades, said
that they were quite justified in their
use OF the word, and he showed that

rather than the authors that they
accused OF a lapse in grammar, who
we're the real ignoramuses.

REAL FACTOR IN BIG RAILWAY
BUSINESS.
astoria, Ore, Astorian.)


Gradually the real facts are leak
ing out regarding the increase in
railroad earnings and the congestion
Of freight on the Atlantic seaboard.
Increased railroad earnings have
been pointed to as an evidence Of
permanent general prosperity. Here
are some of the facts that account
for the increase:
Demand for vessels to carry war
supplies TO Europe has caused a
large portion of the ships formerly
engaged in cOastwise trade 10 be
withdrawn. so that much freight that
would normally go by water now
goes by rail
Slides in the Panama canal made
it necessary to ship coast o-coast
freight overland High water rates
due TO the demand for transporta-
ton to Europe made shipment
around the Horn impracticable.
The abnormally large grain crops
produced because Of the prospect OF
, war prices gave the railroads a
largely increased traffic from the
middle west 10 Atlantic ports.
Increased freight rates have been
allowed by the interstate commerce
commission in certain territory.
IL will be observed that all these
factors. except the slight increase in
freight rates. depend upon the con-
tinuance OF the war and the over
sea demand for our products. II is
difficult TO understand how any far
sighted business man can interpret
increased railroad earnings as a sign
OF prosperity any more permanent
than the temper ary and abnormal
conditions in which they have their
origin.
