An interesting article in the
Worlds Work on the govern
ment and the railrhads by Otto
H. Kahn, of a leading Amerl-
can banking house, expresses
some striking and original views
Mr.. Kahn takes the stand that
government regulation of the
transportation lines is prefer
able to government ownership,
but declares the present system
faulty.
He holds that one national au-
thority should have sole charge
or regulating rates and other
matters affecting interstate
lines, and that neither state
legislatures nor commissions
should have jurisdiction over
such carriers, excepting the ex-
ercise of certain administrative,
police or public welfare powers
within we'll defined limits, and
we believe the gentleman is emf
nently correct.
Mr.. Kahn enunciates the idea
that the national functions and
character of railroads are analo-
gous to those of national banks
and that they should be handled
in the same manner. The same
body which determines earnings
by fixing rates should be charged
with the responsibility of hear
ing and determining wage dis
putes between railroads and the
employees, or if that be not prac-
ticable, then the body Should
give full weight and considga:
ton to all factors that go to en-
nance the cost of operation such
as legislative enactments like the
Full Crew Law, increased taxa
ton, advance in wages, etc.
The fnancier also makes the
point that it should be the sue
cessful business man and not the

WOMAh'S MISSION
AIRY SOCIETY ELECT
Officers for The Current Year and
Hold Several Very Important
and Enthusiastic Meetings

The Woman's Missionary So
ciety has begun the year 191G
with a number of enthusiastic
meetings, the first being held
with Mrs. J. ]. Meredith, when
the following officers were elect
ed for the ensuing year:
Mrs. c. P. ThornhiIl, ptesi-
dent; Mrs. A. B. Swift, 1st vice
president; Mrs. F. Wooten, End
vice president; Mrs. S. P. Walk
err, Treasurer; Mrs. A. D. Bridg-
er, treasurer home department;
Mrs. J. J. Meredith, recording
secretary; Mrs. |. &. May, cor
responding secretary; Mrs. W.
E. Godfrey, missionary superin-
tendent; Mrs. B. H. Redditt,
superintendent of publicity.
The second meeting was with
Mrs. R. r. Redditt and the third
with Mrs. H. H. Rogillio. The
last meeting was held with Mrs.
A. B. Swift on the 10Th instant.
There was an unusually large at
tendance and a most interesting
program was given.
At all the meetings plans have
been made for the work of the
year, and, if enthusiasm and eff
forts count, these plans will be
carried out. So it looks as if the
society is going to accomplish its
part of the worlds work.
The next meeting will occur
Wednesday, March l, at the
home of Mrs. C. P. Thornhill.
All members are urged to be
present.

SIMPLIFlED SPELLING.
The One Thing Needed to Make Eng
lish the World Language

lish the World Language.
Having been for years a teacher of
English to foreigners and to high
school pupils as we'll as a student of
modern languages, the subject of an
international language interests me
greatly.
Certainly of the four important mod
ern tongues English is the easiest and
simplest in grammer, having no awful
genders such as German and no dread
full verbs such as French and Italian
It has no battling depths and subtleties
as the last two mentioned nor any
impossible pronunciation as the first
Yet, in spite of it's simplicity, it is a
very hard language for foreigners to
master. This is due, / feel, solely to
it's antiquated method Tor lack of meth
od) Of spelling. The difficulties arising
from the difference between the spell
ing Of English words and their pro
nunciation are almost insurmOuntable,
fatal to its universal diffusion. How
many natively English speaking people
do we know, educated, nay, intellec-
tual, who simply cannot spell, VINO
have given up trying?
All over the continent one hears re-
iterated with boring mOnotOny: Il like
to read the English, but not to speak
it. 1t is too difficult to pronounce. |
can never tell how new word should
be said" In French and German GER
tain letter combinations invariably rep
resent certain sounds, while Italian is
absolutely phonetic. In Italian schools
there is no such thing as a spelling
lesson. Think what a saving of time,
temper and grey Tor is it gray matter
this is to the growing child!
1t is all very well to insist upon the
classic origin of our photography, but
compare it for one moment with the
near and aristocratfc parent of the ltal-
ian. Yet Italian does not hesitate to
discard all artifciality.
l feel sure that only one thing Will
make English, which stands today as
the easiest and most concise OF Ian
guages-only one thing will make it the
universal language, and that is sim
plifed spelling.-J. III. Harris in New
York Times.

BRAVERY OF A TOREAD0R.
Remarkable Display of Nerve by
Spanish Bull Fighter.

Spanish Bull Fighter.
The famous Spanish toreadOr Re-
verte figured in one of the most thrill
ing incidents ever witnessed in the
bull fighting arena.
It was at Bayonne. After disposing
of two bulls Reverte had twice plunged
his sword into third of great strength
and ferocity, and as the beast contln-
ued careering wildly the spectators be-
gan to hiss Reverte for bungling.
Wounded to the very quick Of his
pride, the Spaniard shouted, "The bull
is slainw and, throwing aside his
sword, sank on one knee with folded
arms in the middle of the ring.
He was right, but he had not al
lowed for the margin of accident. The
wounded beast charged full upon him.
but the matador, splendid to the last,
knelt motionless as a statue, while the
spectators held their breath in horri-
fed suspense.
Reaching his victim, the bull literal
~ bounded at him, and as he sprang
he sank in death, with his last effort
giving one fearful lunge of the head
that drove a horn into the thigh of the
kneeling man and laid bare the bone
from the knee to the joint.
Still Reverte never finched, but re-
NAMED kneeling. eXultant in victory,
but calmly contemptuous of applause,
till he was carried away to heal him
of his grievous wound.

what's more, he keeps the game
going at top speed from whistle to

referees. Friday he was ably assist
