HOW THE ABATEMENT LAW WORKS.

The closing of of the business houses of Mountain
Home by abatement injunction for the purpose of stop
ing the sale of liquor is remedy that has been the
statute books Of Idaho for number of years. but it is
that has been invoked only few times in the history Of
prohibition enforcement in this state The way the abate
ment injunction works is for the prosecuting attorney to
appear before the district court with his proof of law
laton and in his proof is sufficient to show probable
that the law is being violated the court will issue
temporary injunction and it is then up to the offender to
take up the burden of proof that he is innocent of the
charge THAT to say he must prove that he has not
mtted crime rather than that the state must prove that
he has. AS understand it, under the abatement law
the building also be condemned to for period
of time not exceeding year and the fined for

Mistakes in Spelling.

Educators at the university of Pen
nsylivania have been studying re-
ports of spelling in the schools OF
"a cites and have noted 1,400, 900
separate words. Among all these
they find that the words "judg-
ment," recommend" and "allege"
are the words in daily use which are
most frequently misspelled.
The reason is not SO obscure, If
one may hazard a guess. Mistakes
in spelling those words are most
likely to arise from reliance upon
the sound of the spoken words as a
guide, together with very limited
knowledge of their etymology, heed
lessness of any rule or tradition OF
word building Gas in "judgment")
and general absence of any instinc-
tive knowledge of how the word
looks on the printed page. All this
may imply absence of the habit Of
reading good English in books, and
hasty and slipshod way of reading
newspapers.
Faulty spelling is venial sin save
in stenographer; it does not can
note illiteracy by any means, for a
habit of exact spelling is curiously
difficult for some well-educated per-
cons to acquire. An old gentlemen
once expressed contempt for man
who didn't know but one way to
spell word. But n a period of eff
lfciency- worship all the influence
would probably lean toward uni
form spelling of the same word. II
so many people spell the same word
adversely, goodness knows how wide
ly their understanding of the word
"a much subtler matter-may diff
fer. Yet we all think we speak the
same language. The New York Sun.
