How Many English Words7

How many words are there is the
English language?
A dozen great scholars might give as
many answers to this question. One Of
them some years ago, gave the number
as only $4,000. But a still greater
scholar, Prof. Max Muller, who was,
perhaps, the greatest authority Of his
time on words, put the number OF
words in the English language at 100,-
600. He compared the growth and de-
velopment of our language with the
putting of grain in q. sieve. Most of the
chaff has been winnowed off, and with
1t have gone many good grains. Good
old English words, which we now con-
slider only dialect words or American
isms," have gone out Of the language.
If we include all the words which have
fixed places in the dialects Of the
country, and include also many which
we know We're spoken in earlier times,
we shall have to put the total at 300, 600
for he English language.
That number Is constantly growing.
Words have to be invented for new in
dustries, n they become part Of the
language. When a new dictionary was
made, not many years ago it was found
that the new words necessary for use
in relation to electricity and electrical
appliances numbered more than 1000.
A similar increase had aiken place to
other arts and sciences. Most Of them
are purely technical words. but, little
by little, they become common words
as all OF Ne know more about science

Making Bank Robbina Popular.
Eron tho R,nsas ri+v r,nes

IgFa# HE-.sH
Two men entered a Rosedale bank No

them more than $1,000. and then locked
him in the safe. The men were arrested
and pleaded guilty. Friends of one Of
the, , made good the amount stolen, n
on the request of the banks officials n
several influential citizens they were pa
rolled without punishment.
This extraordinary action OF the court
seems based on the theory that the crime
was q private matter, in which society
had no concern. 1t ssume that If the
stolen money is replaced and the persons
directly affected are satisfied, the GRIM
inals may be released.
But a crime of this sort isn't a private
affair. Society has decreed that this Of
Tense carry a punishment in order to
make bank robbing unpopular, as well as
to restrain the criminal until he may
safely be returned to normal life. If it
is possible for a mature man to rob q
through the intercession Of influential
friends, h q safeguard to society is
broker down. In addition a blow is given
to the essential principle Of equality be-
fore the law. Everybody knows that If
the Rosedale bank robbers had been poor
devils with nobody Interested in them,
they would now be beginning their SEN

Wealth Possession AZ a Trust.
From Me Chicago TribHne,

Almost no opposition has been ,eyoked
by the apparent intention of the adminis-
~tration to raise both income and inhert-
lance taxes. No orators are out calling
property holders to arms and no tax re-
Quietest, are rallying their forces. The
proposal to increase these taxes, like their
original imposition, has been taken with
amazing calrnness.
The United States does not realize that
IT is on tho way to accomplish a social
revolution. Inheritance and income taxes
are convenient sources of revenue, it is
true. The government needs money. But
their acceptance as means of getting
money implies the acceptance Of a signi-
means that we think Of wealthy. men
chiefly as %trutees of national wealth and
not absolute owners of it. We accept
their trusteeship because they have
earned their way to it. We will not ,ac-
ceEt wholly trusteeship by their children.
The of concentration of wealth
are generally recognized and have been
for years. But We lave adopted a means
of diffusion. q method OF correction, quite
ufcorcernedly. There has been no blow
ing of trumpets, No popular orator has

ton offers. we nave accepted a great re
