The' Journal - will help Mayor
Albea "tell It ' eTerywhere," and
will give Maror Alhee a chance
ttt see that "information la gained
first hand." After the news of
his attack on the truthfulness of
the newspapers was .received, The
Journal offered Mayor Alhee two
columns of space, day by day, . la
which i to f, publish free of charge.
Information as to : what Is going
on at the city hall as -seen by
the mayor. No. condition .whaU
-ever was Imposed except that the
matter for publication should be

The offer is still pen. lt will
continue, to bold good, and ia
available not only - to the mayor,
but -. to each of , the four coounls

so on. At the bottom, upbearing
the entire social structure, are the
lower classes,; so called, though
we are promised that in the next
Vorld they 'will be the highest

It ' Is undoubtedly a deplorable
thing that we - have these classes.

not blame Mr. Baker for acknowl

A BIG SPELL
AN EXCHANGE from the
south' bursts with pride over
its account of a mammoth
spelling match held in -New
Orleans the. other day. - More than.
25.000 .children participated in the
affair and . more than a quarter
of a million "staggers" were mad
at the list of orthographical hor
rvrs which confronted the little
creatures. The monstrous perform
ance was under the supervision
ot 4-"Professor' Hill,", who. it
seems pretty clear, might ; have
been , In . better ' business. It is
depressing" to think of the ; time
and energy the children of New
Orleans have wa&ttd id their vain
attempts to learn ' our " unlearnable
spelling. - ; -
It ; Is . still more depressing to
think how ; little ; good J it . would
have done them if they had ac
complished the : Impossible :- and
actually learned to spell ' every
word, in the "dictionary. , Thes feat
would not have made v them bet
ter thinkers, .better writers of Eng

it has, been observed that , person
who are exceptionally adept in
English spelling, are, like' chess
prodigies, commonly deficient in
some other direction. How true
or -false thia may be we v do . not
profess to know. , As a matter
of fact, few of the men , who are
leaders in business. or literature
pride themselves upon their spell
ing, for tha tost of reasons,' -
Had they spent their .youthful
yea learning to. spell perfectly
they would not have had time r to
learn anything else, or ; not much
else. - The f burden , of r English
