And when words do not come quickly
there grows the use of stale slang
and expressions both coarse and in
ane. The slang habit is doubtless
due to the paucity of words; perhaps
we would not cuss at all if we had
on tap clean-cut, effective language
out of the vast reservoir of correct
words of the American dictionary.
Now comes the cross word puzzle,
its popularity extending over the con-
tinent, contagion that touches the
home, the community and the coun-
try, rivalry for correct words thai
well nigh parallels the interest in the
world series of baseball. It is good
epidemic, game tina. IS well worth
the candle, and the virus seems work
ing true to form wherever planted
We have not words to express our
appreciation of the man who made
the right use Of language a fascina
ting sport which has now taken tbs
stage in these United States.

We still maintain that Captain Blood is q
mighty good movie We claimed that before we
saw it on the strength of the other fellows
opinion, and now that have seen it we know
it on our own account. Of course its bit bloody
in spots, and we are bit beyond being thrilled
by that quite as much were the small boys IN
the audience. But we not yet too old to be
appreciative of 'piruts' and blazing cannons to
a certain degree. However the worth OF the pic
ture is something much bigger than that and the
artistry of the production makes big appeal
even to one who is in no sense movie fan. And
of course it has moral which is that we should
all be mighty glad we did not live in the age
when man was sold into the brutalest OF slav
cry for disagreement with the powers IN charge
of the government, and even giadder that we
don't have to see men wearing suits OF brocade
with much lace at their dainty wrists. Sabatini
wrote good tale as tales of adventure go and
the story has lost nothing in adventure nor IN
terest through the filming process

Polishing Our
Conversation

Omaha World Herald: A discrimi-
mating use of words in our converse
ton is not generally considered ma
tional trait of Americans. Slang and
profanity in all too frequent practice
have made us targets for criticism
not only among ourselves, but IN
quips and retorts of our neighbor ma
lions. We are not to be criticized
too sharply for that, however, but
more or less distinguished or con-
spicuous Americans have at times af-
forded us some embarrassment be-
cause of a loose. tendency in col
loquial and even public talks. A GER
tain popular and sensational evan
gelist thrived on speech punctured
with epithets and coarse slong. Care
lessness in public speech as well as
private conversation developed a
shiftlessness in the use Of English.

Judge Page Morris left estate valued at
$5O,OOO-not large considering the immense law
practice he enjoyed before he went on the bench
Possibly mis- expenses following mis- accession &c
the bench cut hole into his finances, and there
FORE he leaves an estate that cannot be considered
among the top-notchers.-Joe Reynolds.
Why worry about having ones estate among
the top notchers?" Judge Morris is placed
among the very toppingest of top notchers by
the many fine things he did during his long SER
vice on the bench. Why, then, should the fact
that he left less money than more commercially
minded men have left cause any comment at all
If man has paid his way and provided moder
ately and modestly well for his family, he neec
not blush even though he never has been found
fit to do obesiance to the God of Finance We
would rather leave heritage of Judge Morris
good work and 'mere" fifty thousand, than to
leave fifty millions without the record. Let US
get little farther away from the dollar mark
as the success standard.

The State of Minnesota wants only few
trfng things from the Legislators who are this
week meeting for the first time. 1t just wants
liberal reduction in taxes, the formation OF
plans for an economic and intelligent carrying
on of the states affairs, and the revamping Of
the state primary law. These and few other
little things-like being sure that none of the
appropriations are cut, that not single one OF
our friends loses his appointive job which carries
with it good salary paid by the state, and that
by no possible chance shall the old convention
system creep back in--these little details pro and
con are about all we ask Of them. We love those
boys! We make things mighty nice and easy foi
them!
