Can anybody Spell?
Why Pick on Stcnographcrs, in Viicn
of Their Bosses Ignorancc9

OF hcU Bosses lgnordnce:'
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Why should Mr. Watt U. Wrtin
pick on the poor stenographcr for in
ability to spell? Nobody can spell in
these degenerate days; the phonetic
system taught in the schools starts
children on the wrong road and general
carclessncss does the rest. As for
punctuation, it is almost impossible to
Punctuate tho average business mans
English. find it impossible even to
listen to it any moro, wherefore am
no longer a stenographer; but when ]
was one no one knew whether [ could
spell or not-the men I worked for had
no means Of judging.
| remember some time since seeing
another wall from a business man
printed in The Tribune. in which he
complained that his stenographer had
spelled the name of famous Ameri-
S.s'' i'Aiiluc lNus. COlSlut LNUl Il
triumph of phonetics on the part of the
poor girl, for | am sure it is exactly
what he said; and although admit she
should have known how to spell Mr.
Elihu Roots name, at the same time ]
think he might have known how to pro-
nounce it. Indeed, | am not sure but
her general ignorance is the stenogra-
piers only defense; if she knew any
more about English, spelling and
punctuation her daily dictation period
would be too painful.
At one time | used to take dictation
from a we'll known lawyer to help out
in emergencies when he had no ste
nographer. That was fairly often, for
no stenographer could please him, for
long; for myself. wouldn't try He
finally engaged court reporter, very
speedy and accurate. One day she came
to me, almost with tears in her eyes,
asking how managed to satisfy the
creature. He had told her my tran
scriptions were always correct and
hers full of mistakes. And she said he
really did say so and so, though he
would afterward swear he hadn't.
"What do you do?" she asked. And I
told her, truthfully, that | always re i.

but didn't bother to tell him so.
Take the example Mr.. W. L. w. him
self gives. Of the trouble occasioned by
misplaced commas, etc, in legislative
bills. But aren't these bills proofrcad
by their authors? Or do they leave
that to the stenographcr
OF the half dozen or so magazines
which | read the only one in which !

average far fewer mistakes than the
magazines, at least the high class
newspapers. And when one finds Miss
Fannie Hurst writing about an "oriole"
window, and Mr.. Twin Cobb saying
"doubtlessly ly'-and the editors passing
such crrors-well, as said, why pick
on the stenographer?

CoeTci,1g a President

Has President a constitutional
right to disregard and nullifv an
act Of Congress duly passed? Nav
ne convert the qualified veto which
he possesses into an absolute one?
This issue will be squarely raised
# the Porter peace resolution, re-
passed over a probable Presidential
veto, should be disobeyed BY the ex-
ccutive department. Perhaps more
definitely than ever before in Amer
ican political history an answer
would be asked to the question Of
whether a President can be forced
to respect the Constitution and laws
passed in conformity herewith.
1t does not seem open to argu
ment that the same power which can
order a war begun can order it
stopped. To hold that once hostili
ties are started they must 20 on for
ever unless the President commands
their ending is opposed to the com
monest of common sense. One can
imagine how John Marshall would
have torn t. tattcrs the contention
that President has such dictatoral
power
But what is the remedy when a
President refuses to carry into effect
duly enacted resolution? SO far in
no case has the Supreme Court man
damused or enjoned a President.
1t is a commonplace for it to give
orders to subordinate executive Off
GERS, and it has voided the most
solemn acts Of Congress, but it has
shrunk from judging a Presidents
personal acts. In Jackson's day it
came close TO invalidating what "Old
Hickory" did, but it drew away
from the controversy when that will
ful gentleman grirnly remarked :
"They have their decree; now let
them enforce it."
If the President viii not enter
into negotiations with Germany and
proclaim an embargo should Ger
many not accept our terms, it is
doubtful whether the courts would
compel him TO. Nor can impeach-
ment be considered a practical re
course. Nor the shutting Of Of
appropriations and direct coercion
of the State Department.
The Porter resolution may be re-
garded as constitQt.onally sound, but

try out Of the rnorass in which it

Constitution BY CandZehght
The PoLceman's Lot in Passa;c as De-
scribed byL. S. GunneH in "The Nation"

To test the right of free speech in
New Jersey the Textile Workers and
the American Civil Liberties Union an
nounced a joint meeting for Tuesday.
March 23, in Schweighardt's Hall, in
the north end of Passaic. Professor
Harry f. Ward, of Union Theological
Seminary, and the Rev. Norman Thomas
were to speak.
Schweig ighardt's Hall had been let to
the Anal lgamated Textile Workers, but
its proprietor informed union officials
that the police had told him he must
not open his hall for any meeting what
ever. and that. as business man, he
thought it would be better for him not
to. Cedric Long quietly hired another
hail. at the other end Of Passaic The
crowd gathered at Schweighardt's Hall
and at 1:30 were given the tip to move
across town-nearly a mile. By 8
o'clock there were nearly three hundred
men in the second hall--a smaller one
behind saloon. Mathew Pluhar, a
Czech, national treasurer of the Anal
gamated Textile Workers, opened the
meeting, introducing Norman Thomas,
who started to read the constitution
of the State of New Jersey
A white-collared man stepped out of
the crowd, introduced himself as a
detective ana announced that he had
orders to prevent the meeting at all
hazards.' Norman Thomas calmly
continued his elucdation of the state
constitution The white -collared de-
tectivc insisted. Thomas interrupted
his discourse to inform the officer that
he intended to continue and was pre-
the officer arrest him? The officer
said that would depend upon his COM
hitting HIMSELF; then retired to seek
counsel from the commissioner by tele-
phone. Thomas passed on to an cxposi-
tion of the nature of democracy.
Policemen in the Dark
Accompanied by six stout buecoats,
the detective returned ten minutes
later and entered into conversation
with the proprietor of the hall. He in
formed bystandcr that the commits
sioner had repeated his order to stop
the meeting, but had instructed him
to make no arrests. His first step was
to order the proprietor to darken the
hall. The proprietor at first refused
but was invited outside, and. after a
short private discussion with the police
officer, turned out the lights. From
the front of the black hall Thomas's
voice doomed on. insisting that democ-
racy meant nothing unless people could
get together and discuss; and the audi
ence sat still in the seats. The police
officers informed the assembly Gin the
dark that it was to break up.
Meanwhile Norman Thomas had not
ceased discussing democracy in New
Jersey. Some one had produced candles,
and the meeting, now thirty strong
instead of three hundred continued by
candlelight. Walter Nelles, attorney
for tho American Civil Liberties Union.
read the opening sections of the state
constitution once more, loudly ap-
plauded by the small audience within,
while the crowd still surging in the
street outside responded with cheers
and pounded on the windows.
Lateviec read tho constitution twice
in English and in Polish. According

Latevicc had a carefully prepared

do not permit speeches in foreign

that 50 per cent Of the people of the
city arc foreign born and third Of

and a bluecoat yankod Latcviec off the
platform.
The constitution was read once or
twice more by Americana born citizens
and then Pluhar reintroduced Late
vice. Turner stepped into the candle
light again. He was evidently bored
by his Job. In the outer ring Of dark
ness several of the policemen had pri-
vately been apologizng to the spocta-
tors, explaining that they were merely
doing as they were told. Captain
Turner now signaled to Sergeant
Koren. Koren addressed Lateviec.
You're goin' to stop ag'n,' he plead
ed, $50 please quit" Lateviec did not
quit, so he was pulled down a second
time.
Lateviec started in third time. The
police captain blew out his candle.
Other candles were lit. Latevec aban-
doned his own written speech and be-
gan to read the constitution Of the
State OF New Jersey That stumped the
police and they held consultation.

He was several pages further along
when koren made the fearsome dis
covcry and vindicated the majesty Of
the forces of the law third time by
yanking the Pole OFT the stage. After a
parley, however, the police agreed to
permit Lateviec to read on to the end
on two conditions: First, that he read
from the floor, not the platform, and
second, that Koren be permitted to
translate as he went.
