': TEDDY TO REFORM SPELLING. ND NO'WV our wonderful president is foing to reform English orthography,1 so far as his ' authority goes, throughout V heg pardon,' thruout all' the govern or ment service.'. With due advice from the orthographical reformers, led by Uncle Andy Carnegie, he is going to 'f select 100 words that everybody, from thc-fecTCt a ry of state down to ?. the floor scrubbers in the government V buildings, ' must spell' foneticaly is ; one "1" enuf? or lose ' their jobs, y We suppose: he starts with only 100 because more could not be remero - - bered at first, and we think he had better have taken not more than 20, or even 10, for a beginning. ' , t ; ; True, in the course of a life-time, a A man writing a good deal will lose a ' 'few minutes, "possjbly hours, in writ I ing English as we-have learned to spell it instead of as It sounds, but it will take many times as much time to ge( used to spelling even 100 words as they sound. v;' ' Orthographicalfy the English lan guage it Undoubtedly Tf rite," and in thousands OLcasr.. an .ahiurdi tv but It will no easy task to change it; Following generations, by taking up a few words at a time, may effect the Carnegian-Rooseveltian reform,'- but not much will be done in this genera tion. - We've taken th e trouble to learn how words have been spelled for some hundreds of years, though excuse,' us,' thp -there have been changes in" that -time, 'and , most grownup people are not going to learn to spell over again. The thing is not- so simple as it seems, for in a multitnde 6f cases the orthographical doctors will disagree on the, "fonetic" shouldn't it be fo cetik? spelling, and there will be wrangling among the dictionary and text-book makers and proofreaders for about a thousand years.-.- ?,' ' -1 Teddy-may aka his -underlings pell 100 words fonetikaly we think, h should -be a "k" and one T but '. not being a czar he can't make us 1 newspaper' people' spell any differ ; ; tntly from Webster and Worcester.

BAND of some 50 people who insist on going naked and who have been camped near an Oklahoma town have concluded, having been arrested several times, to come to the Pacific coast If they had been in Oregon, this summer the, climate would have just suited them, in some shady retreat free of - fluitoes, but while the" Oregon winters , are mild we would not guarantee that ' U would be entirely "comfortable for : naked people.. It would have this ad vantage, however; they would fre quently get a free bath. ?hey had probably better go to southern Cali fornia, where a Portland young man who declined to' wear clothes went some year, ago, living in the moun tains back of Los Angeles on air, sun shine and nuts from forest trees, on whiclThe tErTved very well physically. :. Being disturbed by the authorities he went to the Society islands, in one of which, land costing nothing, he is said ' to have a fine banana plantation, and ' " '' OeS IHItM - where nobody-requires -him to donptrbltcthrthrCnly-1ssue of theTam7 . the habiliments of civilization, -; These are extreme 'manifestations of conformance to a good idea an abuse of a proper and beneficial no tion, just as we. see ridiculous, fa natical and even criminal observances and antics carried on in the name of religion, which within rational bounds is generally acknowledged to be' a good thing..'",. '' ". ''' People as a rule wear -too many and too. heavy. tlothesland. eaftoo much, but it does not follow (hat it ia well to go entirely or almost ea tlrely without clothing, or live on wild nuts. -People do not live enough out of doors, in the open air and aunshine, and even the, rain; do not get close enough to . health-giving mother earth; but it does not follow that one should sleep on the bare ground in all srtsf-weather:or- at any time There are always people who will run a good thing to absurd and im proper extremes. whpjbeeojne insane ihf6116wing a right idea a wayK beyond reasonable bounds like" the Doukh- bors and so become faddists, then fanatics, then nuisances, then, crazy criminals. ' ; ; ..';'::'' ; ; There mightbe-many tieneftclarTeTdemoralyxing, . criminal; forms in our way of living, but as soon as a ' reform movement passes the bounds of reason it becomes in imical to the public peate and welfare. THE JUVENILE COURT. , S A GENERAL RULE, crime begins in youth, as Judge Fra xer says, though to this rule there are many exceptions. But such is sufficiently the case to justify every possible effort and all needed expen diture to restrain, correct and guide youths, in the best and most efficient ways that experience and study of the work can suggest , r ' There are . several grades' of bad youths, principally boys, i Some are vicious through heredity,and . their reformation is difficult and in some cases impossible; some, not naturally so bad, are yet prone to malicious mischief, improving every oppor tunity to do it; and others, naturally good, are coaxed, sneered, bribed or threatened into evil ways. .; No two boys are just alike in mind, any more than in features. . To handle crimin ally inclined boys, therefore, it needs a person, or persons, of keen insight, and who have specially studied-them! According to Judge Prater's report, the juvenile court ' during the first year of its existence has done much good, work. 1 Many boys 'who had started on the. downhill road that eventually and sometimes soon brings up at the penitentiary or the gallows have been turned in the opposite di rection. Not a few who otherwise would certainly have gone very far if not utterly to' the bad are tolerably certain to turn out good citizens; and la - iargernumbef r-have rshowwi a marked improvement' in vonduetfh- dicating a corresponding improve ment in character. . This sort of work ought to be car ried on by society for the youth's sake, even if society had nothing at stake itself; they are human crea tures 'among us, young, ignorant, many of them without good homes, thoughtless of the future, heedless of consequences. It is only a proper charity of civilization to save them, if possible, from the fate to which they are oblivious. ' ", . But society has a direct and a great interest in the matter. The cost of making a good, boy out of a bad one is, but a very small fraction of that of pursuing, trying, convicting and pun ishing the bad boy grown up into a confirmed tTrminaf,-toyn6thihg of the loss of private property and per haps of human life that might ensue if he were let alone, prom a mere pecuniary point of view, the cost of the works essayed by the juvenile court is as good an investment as the state can make. With much labor; and ationsider able cheerful personal aacrif ice," Judge Frazer has carried on this work dur ing the past year, .for which he de serves the gratitude of the state, and the recommendations he makes that probation officers and a juvenile court attorney be provided, and that the jurisdiction of the court be ex tended to include youths up to 18 in stead of 16 years should be acted on favorably .by the legislature. He knows what is needed, and would not ask for these amendments to the law unlets they were necessary. ISSUES OF THE CAMPAIGN. HE TARIFF will not be an "issue" in the Republican campaign for the presidency. The standpats, the holdfasts and the sittights, whose policy has blessed the country with copious rains at the psychological moment and bountvout jjtgsjjsjn. lbcjrseaaont, will nqt di cuss protection to our giant industries nor the. exploitation of u infant ne cessities. They have "dismissed the tariff in a parenthesis." ; The standpatters have assured the paign is "the policy of ..President Roosevelt"; be is opposed to the dis-1 cussion of the tariff, and what Is good enough for. the administration '"is deemed good enoughWor the people. The people will have to be shown. While "dismissing the tariff in a parenthesis," our Republican friends have kindly consented to talk of "the trusts," whose regulation is part of President Roosevelt's "policy." What. sane. man-ean -speak' Of the trusts without thinking Of the tariff? And who thinks of the tariff without recalling the Republican party f There would be no trusts to raise the prices of the' people's necessaries if there were no iniquitous tariff; and there would be no tariff, such as .we have now to build up the trusts and safeguard their interest and make competition impoVsible, if it were not for the Republican party.' It is pos sible that because of all this, the Re publicans have sought to "dismiss the tariff in. a parenthesis." v: . Mr. Roosevelt and the standpatters say they want ' the trusts regulated, and that that is their "issue." The trusts, . Mr. : Rooseveltf ays, jrebadj then wny regulate them? ,. Kill them. The farmer does not regulate the -coyote; nor does the shepherd regulate the wolf.'.; ,, :.'! ;., ,"';. The responsibility for the trusts rests with the Republican party; they were created and fostered 'under the high tariff, which the standpatters say will not be discussed. The people may fidget in the unhappy assurance that as long as the. Republican party is in power the trusts will control the business of this country, and that the regulation to which they will be sub jected will bear a very close relation to the amount of their contribution to the campaign fund. A GREAT OLD SERMON. THERE is a great deal. of chanty willingness and readiness to help in an emergency, latent love if or one's fellow men that is called forth, and splendidly exhibited Mn an emergency, when some gteat catastrophe like the ' destruction of San Francisco occurs; but in an-infinite number and species of ways in small, everyday . affairs, how mech uncharity craft, greed, .trickiness, backbiting, assumption of superiority, false pride, malevolence is shown. It seems as if, from this point of view, the world was generally and habit uallyand often unconsciously un charitable. 1;.-i- . Think how much one person could help others, the thousands with whom he comes in contact during a life time, by beMng truly and simply char itable in little things not in giving money, 'or goods, 'not,' usually, in ma terial ways, but in putting oneself in amherVllacenmbeurg in thought ariidword an,d deed genuinely unself ish forgetting , self and studying how to help or encourage or brighten and benefit somtf one any one else, The nature of thir charfty'hss been defined and analyzed at considerable length , by an old preacher, and though his dissertation has been pub- Uished and uttered millions of times, its repetition is always timely. Sup pose you read it over slowly, think ing of it as you read this summer Sunday morning, and try to ..under stand and profit by it. . ' ' "Though I, speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass 'and tinkling cymbaL ..And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all myseriestjjand hugrrlTliaveffTalth, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing." ' How many "divines" " and professor of theology and scientists and world re formers ought to think this over and be silent a space. , v;1 "And though Ibesto'w allmy goods to feedepobr, and though give my-body to be burnedrind have not charity, it. profiteth me. nothing." Mere giving of money or property, or sacrifice, "to be seen of men," is not the genuine charity that the preacher was portraying. Well enough, at far as it goes, but the exhibition oflPaul's idea of charity goes infinitely beyond this, and its . source lies infinitely deeper, for :' ;:'.. ; . ;' "Charity tuffereth long.- and it kind. -.- - : ;' "Charity vaunteth not itself; doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own; is not easily provoked; thinketh no eviL" Who can come anywhere near filling that bill? "Thinketh rid evil.? Suppose you, try this for just this one day. How many can do it? . ' ';' (; - ' "Rejoiceth' not in iniquity,, but re joiceth in the truth"; and besides: "Besreth all things; believeth all pilings; hopettnall thinys." Thr jn anotrrer-taslflor youTTuit having put yourself in that attitude you will find that . ; .-. , - . '.' '. ' "Charity never faileth." Christian Scientists understand this. They say that only. good, is real, true and eternal, and that, evil is unnatural, an excrescence it should and must fail, ultimately; but charity, the sum of all good, "never faileth," never can fail. But let us listen to this great sermon a little further; . ' ' "For now we know In part" what a very little, infinitesimal part "and we prophesy in part" and very vague and unreliable prophecies, 'for the mosf part "but when that which is perfect is come,' that which. is In, part thall be'dorie'away..
