Star Witness
 Says Evidence
 Was Framed

New York-Frank Mcdonald, one of the star witnesses for the proSecu- ton in the case against Thomas J. Mooney, San Francisco labor leader who was sentenced to death for the
 preparedness day bomb outrage Tn San Francisco in 1916, has confessed
 that his testimony was perJured ana
 that Mooney was "fdamed up," ac- cording to a statement made here to-
 day by Frank P. Walsh, counsel for Mooney.
 Mooney is now in jail in California, his death sentence having been com 1 muted to life imprisonment through
 the intervention of president Wilson. l Mcdonald, according to Attorney Walsh, told of being coached in his
 testimony at the trial of Mrs ward Nolan. Mcdonald was said to
 have declared that he did not know
 Mooney by sight and that his evi- dence was prepared in advance by | District Attorney Charles M. Fickert | of San Francisco.
 | Mcdonald was alleged to have told 1 Moneys counsel that he received
 assurances he would be backed uE
 by man worth S100,000. This man
 according to Mcdonald, later proved
 to be Frank G. Oxman another inn portant witness against Mooney and his co-defendants.
 After the trial, Mcdonald said, he
 went to Los Angeles. He had beer promised a reward Ot $11,5UV, pu he declared that all he got was { five dollar bill once in while ano expense money.
 McDonald's complete statemen
 was taken under oath by Attorney Walsh and has been te1egraphed te
 San Francisco. MT Walsh said i would be placed before the specia grand jury now Investigating allega tions of conspiracy in connection with Mooney's conviction.
 Mcdonald has been living fol some time at Trenton, N. J. He sait that, about a month ago he reat some of the testimony given to tn special grand jury at San Francisct by Draper Hand, one of the witnesse and it set him to worrying about tn part he had played in the case.

ESSAYS AND POETRY
Novelist Puts Grammar Last

a sentence is badly constructed the
rules governing such instances may be
brought to his attention with every
confident that he will understand their
point. -. Let the example precede
the rule If there is any sense in the
rule the example win clarity 1t; if it is
without justification and designed
merely to befuddle the student, then
it ought to be abolished anyhow"
We are tempted to go on and on and
quote the whole essay in accordance
with the wish expressed above. In
placing this piece last in the collection
the author puzzles it. 1t should come
first and the book should be called
"The Poor Old English Language, and
Other Papers" regardless of how
lengthy and unwieldy a title that may
be.
Mr.. Nicholson gives first place in his
collection to an essay called Let Main
Street Alone!" in which he makes a
defence of Main Street" that sounds
convincing enough but not particu-
larly novel. OF Carol Kennicott and
the inhabitants of Main Street he
says: "They didn't need her uplifting
hand They were far more valuable
members of society than she proved
herself to be, for they worked hon.
estly at their jobs and had, I am con-
fident, pretty fair idea of their rights
and duties, their privileges and i'm
munities, as children of democracy"
This is the obvious thingSfor any one,
to say who does not agree with Sin
clair Lewis. Our statistical secretary
reports that 3.417,219 other people have
said the same thing during the last six
months.
Other essays in the book are THE
Cheerful Breakfast Table, THE
Boulevard of Rogues," 1.-THE Open Sea-
son for American Novelists," THE
Church for Honest Sinners" "The Sec
ond Rate Man in Politics. 1.-The Lady
of Landor Lane" and How, Then,
Should Smith Vote?" All of these
make entertaining and instructive
reading with the exception of 1.-THE
Open Season for American Novelists,"
written in 1915. To US this essay is
like last years straw hat.

English or French Essential

literatures of English and French
making as a guaranty of the perma-
nent use of both languages. Neither
will drive out the other; there is room
for and need of both.
There is nothing pedantic or narrow
about Prof. Matthews's view of Eng
lish. In fact, he perhaps underesti-
mates the subtler values of the
classic elements in it's ancestry, its
Latin content and the greater precision
that comes of fully understanding
use of words with a sense of their
historical qualities. "A people," says
he, always makes it's language in its
own image, and the English language
is as vigorous, as impatient, as un-
pedantic and as illogical as are the Two
mighty peoples who hold it in common.
There is no likelihood that the English
language will surrender it's right to
make new words for new needs" It
is always and persistently living and
growing thing.
1t is pleasant to find renewed aea-
demic appreciation of the supreme ex-
cellence of Mark Twain's style. as,
oddly enough, it has not generally neen
fully appreciated or stressed by most
teachers and critics. One may look
far in all the mass of English litera-
ture to find anything to excel some
passages of Huck Finn (the descrip-
tions of night and storms on the river,
for instance) for sheer beauty and
perfection of expression And Mark
Twain was always careful, untiring in
the search for the one exactly right
word. Prof. Matthews does well to
bring out these points anew.

T. DWARD N. TEAI4L has not
r. been content to be simply a
polite adventurer among mas
terpieces, slave to lists of the ''hun-

species of literary humble bee. He
has met and tilted with them all,
whether -garbed in paper or cloth,
Mayne Reid to Goethe, Oliver Optic to
Laurence Sterne. The result is the
charming "reminiscences of an "om-

one period of his boyhood. '"The

THE MAN IN THE STREET. BY Mere
dith Nicholson. Charles Scribner's
Sons.
TT HIS collection of essays coptains
a paper called "The Poor Old
English Language" that we
should like to reprint word for word
in bold type. Our next step would
be to send clippings to every board Of
education in America. For in this es-
say Meredith Nicholson utters some
great truths on the subject of teach
ing English in our schools.
II doubt seriously says the author,
whether could pass an examination
in English grammar. At times
in my life 1 have been able to read
Greek, Latin, italian and French with
out ever knowing anything about the
grammar of either of these languages
as I went along. This method &.
is not original with me, for there are
inductive methods of teaching foreign
languages which set the student at
once to reading and make something
rather incidental of the grammar. This
is precisely what should do with Eng
lish if l were responsible for the in
struction of children at the age when
1t is the fashion to begin hammering
grammar into their inhospitable minds.
Ignorant of grammar myself, but hav-
ing-if l may assume so much-an in
tuitive sense of the proper and effec-
tive manner of shaping sentences,
there would be no textbooks in my
schoolroom. i. The first weeks of
my course would be purely conversa-
tional. ] should test the students for
their vulgarities and infelicties and
such instances, registered on the black
board, would visualize the errors as
long as necessary. The reading of in
dubitably good texts in class would, of
course, be part of the programme, and
the Bible I should use freely, particu-
larly drawing upon the Old Testament
narratives
When youngster is made TO un-
derstand from concrete example that
