Correct English.

Common use or misuse of certain
words or expressions does not neces-
sarily make them correct English the
present, national and reputable use of
them, as exemplified by the majority
of the best writer's and speakers, forms
the standard by which language must
be judged, Though our language is
continually growing and slang words
of yesterday in many cases are correct
English today, many slang words and
expressions never attain responsibility
at all; thus Prof. R. P. Utter speaks
of the word booze" having remained
slang since before Shakespeare's time.
1t may also be added that grammatical
misuse Of words is unjustifiable by
any authority, however great; Shake
speare's frequent employment of the
double negative does not make 81

SKY ONLY, LIMIT FOR NEWSPAPERMEN
HERE IS ONE WHO BECAME A BISHOP
Rt. Rev. Charles Summer Burch, for
Thirteen Years an Editor, Now One
of Joint Commission Directing Ma
tion-Wide Campaign.

Out of the noise and tension of editorial rooms, news
papermen have gone to positions strangely contrasted
to those they left.
Here is one who left the editorial desk to achieve a
bishops robes.
For 10 years he was Charles Sumner Burch, news
paper editor of Kansas City and Detroit. Today he is
the Right Rev. Charles Sumner Burch, Episcopal Bishop
of New York.
Formerly his words went from the typewriter to the
composing room and SO to the columns of the dailies, to
help mould public opinion. Now they go out to the
members of the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of New
York, and beyond, helping to inspire the Church to
meet the responsibilities which the day of reconstruc-
ton has laid upon it.
For when the supreme body of the Church, the trien-
MEL general convention, met recently in Detroit-the
city where the Bishop of New York once turned out
copy" for the press-t appointed him to the Joint
Commission which, with the authority of the entire
Church behind it, is directing the SAP, 900 Episcopal
Nationwide Campaign by which the Church plans to
expand its work in every field and play its full part in
building a new order out of the present chaos.
Bishop Burch saw-perhaps with the old news sense"
the importance of the Nationwide Campaign from
the first.
providence" said he, in his first pastoral address to
the Diocese of New York, following his elevation to the
bishopric, "has furnished us, at the beginning of our
new mutual relationship, with a task worthy of our
highest powers. .
"The Nationwide Campaign is intended to reach
and touch the life and purpose of every man, woman
and child connected directly or remotely with the
Church's existence. IF the Church Of Christ is to hold
fast to and conserve the great spiritual values won
through the heroic sacrifices willingly offered by our
brave men and boys in the worlds most tragic war, it
must awaken in each man a keen sense of his individual
responsibility for conserving these values"

Old English Institution.

A venerable institution of London's
legal quarter-the Moot-has been
reinstated at the Inns of Court. The
Moot belongs to quite another age, but
it is still useful as providing a means
of testing the abilities of candidates
to the bar. Even should it have been
suffered to disappear definitely from
the inns of Court institutions the Moot
would have left a reminder in the Ian
guage of it's former presence, says
the Christian Science Monitor. The
expI ession "a moot point" springs
from the practice Of holding discus
sions for the solution of points which
no amount of discussion can settle /;
the very raison d'etre of the Moot.

collective bargaining" is a term
used to describe the meeting of en-
ployers or their representatives with
employees or their representatives for
the purpose of reaching an agreement
as to wages and working conditions In
an industry, as opposed to a condition
where single workers act alone and
take or refuse terms offered by an en-

When Tobacco Was Currency.

For many years tobacco was ur-
rency in the colony, and with the vir-
ginians Of the day the tobacco note"
served the purpose which the gold or
silver certificate serves with us, and
was honored in all the local shops.
Taxes and parish levies, fines, and
gambling debts. wedding fees, and
funeral expenses were paid in tobacco.
Salaries of ministers Of the Estab-
lished Church were paid regularly with
the weed, and parishes were rated and
known according to the quality of to-
bacco produced in them-an "Orin-
oko" parish being considered less de-
sirable than a sweet scented"

go ahead, to expand, and to bet on
the country that has never failed the
man who believed in it-common
sense to understand that no prosper
ity is worth while that is based on
the exploitation Of others. and that
no gains will be lasting that are not
fairly divided.
America is big and rich and she
has been able to stand a lot of damned
nonsense. but this is not the time
for any sort of nonsense from either
Bolsheviki or Reactionaries. And
one of the best symptoms of the
times is the determination of intelli-
gent and forward looking business
men to stand for square deal. We
have passed library of laws trying
to stop the growth of evils. but not
to stop the evils. At this very min
ute we are lifting the restrictions
that safeguarded small investors dur
ing the warm effect saying to the
wolves: "There are the sheep; they
are fine and fat; help yourself" We
might as we'll repeal the health laws
while we are about it.
We have been very busy trying to
save the world-a laudable enter
prise, but a large contract. Let US
by all means try to help our neigh
bors, but incidentally let us try to
help ourselves. Every paper. every
speech is full of references to our
debt to Britain, our debt to France,
our debt to Belgium, until it looks
as if we owe everybody and nobody
owes US. But in remembering these
multitudinous debts we need not al
together forget our debt to America.
We can pay it with little courage
and common sense at this time.

Courage and Common Sense


reason. 1t is abnormal, un-American
and sensational. But it is the news
fad Of the hour, like Thaw trial, to
which the papers send sob-sisters,
specialists in emotion and "big
names" For a certain part of the
public are morbidly interested in
Bolshevis m. as they are in the latest
murderer and his crime. Many
psychopathic women affect mild
form of it as they would any strange
cult that promised diversion and ex-
citement.
The only real field for Bolshevism
in America is among the ignorant
half-assimilated foreign-born; our
only danger from it is in permitting
its alien-enemy leadership to operate
among the credulous and the vicious.
The cure is courage and common
sense. The same simple home pre-
scription will take US through the re-
construction period to better and
stronger America
No one but fool will shut his eyes
to the faults of our democracy or
deny that many grave abuses exist in
our country. The American conten-
tion is simply that no other system
yet devised by man has given so
much peace, prosperity and happi-
ness to nation as ours, and that
none holds out so much promise for
the future. America has been a
good place to live in; it must be a
better one in the future. To make
it so is our job, and we must go
about it with courage and American
common sense, not with pessimism
and Russo-German theories.
We want prosperity in America,
but not swollen fortunes. We want
big rewards for men who do big con-
structive things, and Jail sentences
for the big fellows who steal the
fruits of their work and the savings
of small investors. There have been
altogether to many mavericks loose
on the range, sucking cows on which
they have no claim. There would be
no real railroad mess, no necessity
FOR trying to pare down wages in
basic industries, if there had been no
banker control and no fragrant wa
tering Of the stock of these corpora
tions. For this reason, if for no
other, reductions in high dividends
must precede reductions in high
wages during the adjustment period.
The wise business man is not the
one who is talking about liquidating
labor, but the one who is sharpening
his pencil in order to figure out
way to keep wages up. The reac-
tionary business man must get it
clearly in his head that the country
is not interested in speeding up busi-
ness in order that he may have new
motor, or new country house and a
flock of footmen, but that the whole
mass of Americans may move up to
a higher plane of living and self-re-
spect. He must be satisfied with a
fair but smaller share of the profits.
Labor must not only be kept en-
ployed but well-paid. Courage and
common sense will do it-courage to

seen to consist Of hundreds Of tiny teeth
When these teeth are in alignment, the
blade is sharp. But the very first shave
with new blade bends these teeth out
Of alignment, and the blade, begins to lose
its edge.
With most safety razors, there is no
way to smooth the delicate teeth back
into alignment. The originaIsmooth, fine
edge Of the blade grows rGugher with
every shave.
