WRITER'S BEHIND THE TIMES
Complaint Made That They Havs
Taken No coenIzanee Of Changes
Occurring In Dialects.

) When Joseph Vance, Of whom De
Morgan wrote book, was boy in
London, the local dialect was like
this:
"He's a-goin' for to fight Mr.. Gum
beyont the Pinnerforty works, and you
better look sharp II you want for to
see anythink."'
Vance went away to South Amer
lea and returned after many years to
find the jargon altered to this pat
tern:
TT (the noise) was Idly with a
biby fighting another Idly and both
was took OF to the Stytion."
All American dialects have changed
In so years as that Of London did,
with the possible exception Of the
tongue spoken in the southern Appa-
lachian country. Yet to judge by
American comic papers and the gen
tlemen Of the stage, our dialects are
as immutable as the stars. They
change no more than the faces Of
great cliffs.
Why would it not be good idea
to appoint committee to wait on
editors of humorous periodicals and
the writer's Of plays and point out to
them politely that they speak the Ian
guage Of people long In their graves
and superseded Toledo Blade.

procession formed In honor Of the In
augural CEREMONIES.
Luncheon Deferred for Parade.
In years past the presidential party
always has entered the White House
for luncheon prior to the review Of
the parade from the stand In front of
the executive mansion. This invaria-
bly, In the past caused such q delay
that It was decided this year to do
away with the luncheon feature.
President Wilson with Mrs. Wilson,
tho Vice President and Mrs. Marshall,
and two members Of his cabinet went
Immediately to the little inclosed struc-
ture, much like sentry box. which
had been built In the middle Of the
great grandstand in front Of the White
House and from which the chief exc
cutive viewed the paraders.
Il was the gravity Of the situation
In connection with our foreign affairs
which gave to the inaugural ceremo-
mics their serious tone and patriotic
features. THE parade Of the day was
largely military In Its nature, although
there were In the procession many
bodies which In a sense might be said
to represent the spirit Of Industrial
Of the United States for
any eventuality which might come.
Makeup Of the Procession.
At the forefront Of the parade a. IT

president and the vice president Of the
United States with their guards Of
honor. Major General Hugh L. Scott,

the occasion. George r. Linkins was
the marshal Of the civic organizations
which took part in the marching cere-
monies.
Immediately preceding the carriages
OF the presidential and vice presiden-
tial parties and Of Col. Robert N. Har-
per, inaugural chairman, was the ia
nous United States Marine band. The
president had as his guard Of honor
the squadron Of the Second United
States cavalry.
The Vice President and Mrs. Mar
shall were escorted by the Black Horse
troop Of the Culver Military academy.
Indiana, the state Of which the vice
president and his wife are natives
The West Point cadets and the An
nnpolis cadets took part In the process
sion. In addition to these young sol.
dier and sailor organizations there was
as large representation OF the forces
of the. United States as properly could
be spared from post and garrison duty.
In addition there were troops from
Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey.
Maryland, Virginia, and some Other
states Of the Union representing the
National Guard.
A patriotic and picturesque feature
Of the ceremonies attending the inau.
guration was supplied by the rapidly
thinning ranks Of the Grand Army OF
the Republic. In years past the sol

FOOD, FUEL AND
TRANSPORTATION.
By DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. 1917

These are the three essentials to the life
and prosperity of the people-food. fuel
and transportation.
They constitute the triumvirate of ne
cessity.
We have allowed private enterprise to
manage these three Out of them have
come fabulous sums of private wealth
The land from Dan to Beersheba is dotted
with the castles of millionaires whose for
tunes have their source in these three.
This has worked, after a fashion. in
times of peace, yet with a continuous ac-
compartment of strikes. lockouts and tie
ups. every one of which was paid for by
tthe consumer, fearful tax of destruction
upon the country's business
But war is revealing to US our folly
The pressure OF national danger is open
ing our eyes to see that to leave these
three things to the auarreling barons and
1ntolerant labor groups is to cut the throat
OF commercial efficiency.

1t is about time to have done with the
Quarrels of theorists, with clashing catch
words, with the camoufiage of socialism.
confiscation and paternai government 1t
is a condition that confronts US. and not a
theory.
The thing to do is plain as a pikestaff.
and is coming as sure as death. If we
couldn't do it in peace. owing to the
ghosts of antiquated business traditions
we've got to do it in time of war, or go
down
That thing is this: The government
must see to it that food and fuel enough
IS produced, and that 1t is carried to the
people that need it, and that in this trans
action no man shall receive more than
fair wage, and that all speculation and
large profits be eliminated.
If need be, we must commander all
railroads, coal mines and food supplies
and force them into the service of the
common good, by the same right and
power we tax incomes and conscript boys.
Sure'v if John Doe must leave his home
and position and drill at Spartanburg, or
go to France, whether he wants to or not,
Richard Roe, president of the A, b. and
c. railway, owner of coal mines and
dealer in staples, should likewise be made
TO fall In, keep step and put his posses
sions at the disposal of the imperiled
nation
Potatoes are to be eaten, not juggled
coal is to be mined, not manipulated and
-3ootballed between boss and men. and rail- |
roads are to carry food and fuel to the
millions and not to be manipulated for
stock profits or torn up by angry work

Motorcycle for Hunting.

The feat of the horseback rider
of cowboy, days who could kill game
or an enemy while riding full tilt is
equaled, if not surpassed, by a nat
uralist and taxidermist who shoots
some of his quarry while riding at
high speed on his motorcycle, accord
ing to the Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. He has devised a clamp to hold
his loaded shotgun above the gasoline
tank of his cycle, while a sling at
tached to the weapon passes over his
shoulder. His method is to ride swift
Iy along the road and, when he sees
desirable bird perched near the high
way, he seizes his gun and fires upon
1t without slackening speed. This, of
course, involves skill in riding with
out touching the handlebars. By this
spectacular method the naturalist is
able TO fell birds which would take
flight if approached by stealth.
