ENGLISH AS
| SHE Is SPOKE
BY GAYLORD NELSON

EEAN POUND, of the Harv-
ard Law School, in his ad-
dress at the Indiana Uni
versity commencement exercises,
complained of the loose English
now written and spoken by pre-
sumably educated people. Spelling,
he added. is a lost art.
In his classes-composed entire
ly of college Notwithstanding,
he said, is often in the language
of Ring Lardner. Such expressions
as "hafto.' "hadda," "oughta. >"
gotta" and IF he would OF known"
commonly abound even in that Sc
lected group.
Probably there is too much care
lessness in speech. Slovenly gram
mar and enunciation characterize
the everyday conversation of most
people. while only proofreaders
and rural schools worship spell
ing.
But II English as she is writ and
spoke is in a bad way. she always
has been. Correct language has
seldom been encountered outside
grammars.
1t has only been in the past two
or three centuries since the inven-
ton of printing and the wide dis
tribution of books that there has
been even a semblance of stand
ardized English. Before that a
score or more of dialects existed
in England, each pretending to be
English and each doing violence
to the language. These corrupt
dialects were the ordinary speech.
The loose language today, which
gives purists such a pain but
which even persons who know
better use habitually. is just an
overgrown dialect. It may be con-
demned. but it gets over the speak
er's idea-and that's the primary
purpose of language.

A Presidents Fool
Friends

WI rise to defend the intelligence of Presi-
wv dent Coolidge In the name of the people
of the United States we protest that he is not
a moron. This protest has become necessary.
The President must be saved from his friends
OR from one sort of friend. Listen:
lie was impressed most of all by the out
ward manifestations of patriotism and loyalty
among the people"
That is taken from an article by friendly
correspondent travelling with the President
through the northwest States.
What suggestion that contains 1t pic
lures President carrying with him into Wis
consin and Minnesota certain doubts, certain
mental reservations, as to the loyalty and pa
triotism of the people of those two great
States But, the people in this UNEMPLOYED ter
ritory having turned out in immense numbers
to cheer him, he acquits them of the suspicion
Of disloyalty and non-patriotisml So this
friendly correspondent would have us believe
President Coolidge is not mental nit-wit.
President Coolidge never has entertained any
notion that the people of Minnesota and Wis
consin were any less patriotic and loyal than
the people of Vermont and Massachusetts Ger
tainly he never has had reason for any such
view. He is aware of the notable contributions
of those two northwest States to the country's
needs not only in war, but-which is more
rare-in peace. He didn't have to travel to
st. Paul to discover these things.
1t is a ridiculous picture of the President,
which the friendly correspondent paints. 1t is
as if he had solemnly announced that the Presi-
dent was impressed by the fact that the sun
rises in the east and sets in the west, in Mime
sofa the same as Massachusetts.
There should be some way Of saving the
President from such friends.

During the months the matter
was being discussed and the prof.
ect was taking shape not one Of
the interested city officials took
the trouble to ascertain If the city
had authority to undertake such
project. Simple of the them,
wasn't It?
The oversight wasn't as foolish
as it sounds.

that a city of $4,000 inhabitants.

NOT TOO MUCH

THBERT j. BEVERIDGE,
IA Ex-senator, vigorously OPP
III posed restricting debate in
the United States Senate In an
address at Portland Qnd) the other
night. He disagrees volubly with
Vice President Dawes, who adj
vocates a cloture rule.
No good law, which the country
wanted, was ever killed by I'M
limited debate in the Senate, as
serts Mr.. Beveridge. On the other
hand many bad bills have been de-
feated filibusters.
Criticism of the Senate is
general. Instead OF GUESSING the
Government now everybody cusses
the Senate. In popular esteem
the august body has fallen to
zero. Has 1t talked itself TO death?
At first glance 1t seems absurd
that one brazen-lunged Senator
can by endless talk prevent the
other ninety-five from transacting
legislative business throw a
monkey-wrench. as Mr.. Bryan
would say. in the machinery. II
he could be choked of doubtless
matters in the chamber would be
expedited.
But there's the rub. If the
Senate spent less time talking 1t
would pass more bills-more laws.
To country already bad . broken
out with a rash of laws a Senate
that legislated might be a greater
plague than the present body that
merely gesticulates.
