NO LANGUAGE QUITE PURE
Words Expressing New Ideas and New
Thines Are Passed From Ma
r. ton to Nation.


If by "a pure language" is. meant one
that does not contain words adopted
from another language. then there are
none among civilized nations. A IAN
guage IS not something made to ORDER
and that once made ends there so
far as development is concerned. A
language grows in many ways. rake
modern English for example. 1t dif.
fers considerably from the English OF
the time Of Queen Elizabeth, and 1t
Is so different from the language
spoken in England at the time OF the
Norman conquest that could one OF
those old Saxons come back he would
not understand us and we would not
understand him. And yet the Ian
guage he spoke is the basis of modern
English. Since the time of the Sax
ons there has been great growth. The
Normans brought In French, ana
scholars since then have brought In
thousands of words derived from Latin
and Greek. These are English words
today, but the roots from which they
sprang are to be found in other and
in many cases in older languages IL

select the speakers who to argue the pros and

and two the negative. Of course time limit was
placed upon each speech.

THE BLIGHT OF GOLD.


Would you feel aggrieved if we were to tell you
that you are chasing death every day in the year?
But you are-we all are-for this is death
chasing age in which live. L..
We are rushing through life at too rapid speed
in efforts to keep pace with galoping world.
The beacon light which follow is glazing,
binding and blighting. 1t is the light of gold
and more gold. 49,.
1t fascinates, and charms and demoralizes it's
victims until manly resistance to it's sinister influ
ences banshes in craving for the inordinate
pleasures which wealth alone give.
- We stunt bodies, stultify minds and
peril souls in insatiate greed for more.
The pace travel is of madness, and the
beacon follow is lighted by the hand of prema-
ture death.
Life and the power to think and act were given
to us for purpose, but that purpose was not one
destructive to mind, and body, and soul.
The vitality within our human frames is limited,
and when we strain it beyond the point of wisdom
we pass the pinnacle Of existence and enter upon
the decline of life.
By defying the laws of nature we bring death
UNNECESSARILY nearer by acts wholly our own.
The beacon light is golden, but it draws us stead
lily onward and downward.

Railroad Officials
Confer on Tariffs to
Meet Wage Increase

Immediately upon receipt of the
announcement of the railroad labor
boards wage award railway execu-
tives in Washington went into con-
ference today to frame their recon-
mendations to the Interstate Com
merce Commission for advances in
rates to meet the added expense of
$500. 000,000 to the carriers.
The Commission now has under
consideration the application of the
carriers for freight rate increases to
provide an added income of $1,017,-
100000 annually, but these increases
do not take into account any wage
advances.
The railroad executives said today
they would ask the commission to
spread the increased expense Great
ed by the boards award upon both
passenger and freight rates, but that
proportion had not yet been deter
mined.
