In a word, they lead the normal lives their for bears led before them. They are the bone and sinew of the country, the wealth producers, not the wealth accumulators, nor the wealth spendthrifts. Nor are they spend thrifts of their own vitality, either. They work because it Is necessary to support the wife and bairns, as the case may be. They are not afraid of work and they do not shirk It. They have learned that work performed In the right manner and at the right hours never killed any man. I1 1 IK. IXOXOMY OK REFORMED SPELLING. SIMPLIFIED SPELLING. MED L FOU EXGIXEElt. The East Oregonian will' be the first rw per on the Pacific coast to adopt the simplified spelling of the spelling reformers. Tills is not being dun for the pur pose of being freakish or conspicuous, but for economy, simplicity and pro gress. In the simplified wolds already adopted by the United States govern ment, about lu per cent of time and labor Is saved in writing and printing. This alone, should be an Incentive to newspapers to adopt the system. If for no other reason. But the chief reason for adopting the new system is the simplicity at lained thru It. It cuts off useless let ters and makes haid words easy.' It does not change the pronunciation or sound of words. It simply spells them as they sound. Harilshelled conservatives will laf at the change, perhaps, and will find all manner of f.ilt with it. but there is no reasonable ground for objection. It simply presents a sensible and practical reform to the people. Other refoims are adopted where there is an advantage to be gained, so why not in spelling? If the East Oregonian can save the time and labor of writing 1000 words daily. In writing and putting into tlpe about 10,000 words used in making up the paper, !s it not best to change, where the meaning, elegance and use fluness of the language is preserved? Nothing is destroyed by the change. Every beauty of the language Is re tained and in addition It Is simplified to a remarkable degree. It will be noticed fromthe composi tion of this editorial that the ehunges proposed In the reform are few and not radical. Ordinary words in use every day are not distorted as is sup posed by many not familiar with the chajiges proposed. The object of the reform Is not to make the language ludicrous, but to make it simple and expressive. The East Oregonian .will adopt the reform gradually. People will scarce ly notice the change, but the work of writing and setting up the paper will be materially lessened. It Is proposed to give to Engineer Luke Ferguson, who saved O. It. & X. in from a terrible wreck at Dur- kee, last week, a Carnegie hero medal for his act of bravery In remaining at his post in the face of what seemed certain death.. Engineer Ferguson has earned Carnegie medal If one has ever been earned, and yet at the same time he performed his plain duty on that oc casion as tho there were no hero medals in the world. He did just what he did there, be cause In his 23 years experience on a locomotive he has been an intellicent thinking man. and has trained his mind nr.d hand to act quickly in emergencies. There Is much of the spectacular about the deed of engineers on such occasions, in the newspapers. But there Is nothing spectacular In the actual experience. Every seconfi counts, and many a second seems an age, at the critical moment when you don't know what Is going to happen next. The public owes much to such men as Ferguson, and If a hero medal N due to anyone for bravery, he cer tn.inly deserves it. And yet he didn't do what he did to get a medal. He would much rather be without the medal than to have had the exper ience at Durkeo. A mistake has been made by a great many people In believing that rresl- lent Uoosevelt originated the simpli fied spelling of 800 Words In a list re- ntly adopted by the government de partments. This Is not so. President Uoosevelt had nothing to do with changing the spelling of these words. He simply opted the list which had been pre pared bv the Simplified Spelling board as a beginning of the reform of spell ing In the I'nlted States. The presl- lent adopted the list prepared by this hoard, because of the simpler forms of words and because of the economy of time and labor accomplished In the reform. In this first list of 300 reformed words. 22S letters have been eliminat ed. This 1s a saving of '58 letters in 1000 words and reckoning the average length of words at seven letters, it means a saving of 10S words In every 1000 words used. Where typewriting, stenography and other clerical work is performed at so much per word or folto. It means a great saving In the course of a year's work in the government departments and will mean just as much saving In the commercial and professional worlds. For a number of years a small group of progressive educators and Journal ists hnve been working at spelling re form and various changes hnve been gradually brought about unawares. This movement has grown until It now Includes most of the leading educators, many of the leading editors and dic tionary mnkers, and others Interested In simplifying the language. Xo rnd leal change Is proposed. A few of the commonest wrtrds will be changed at a time, until finally the public will be using an entirely new form of spelling without experiencing any discomfort or disadvantage from the change. The president of the simplified Spelling board is Professor Brander Matthews of Columbia college. New York, and the board Includes E. Ben tnniin Andrews of Xehrnskn. David Starr Jordan of Stanford. David J Brewer of the I'nlted States supreme court. Andrew Carnegie. Benjamin E. Smith, editor Century dictionary; Isaac K. Funk, editor Funk & Wag nail's dictionary and proprietor Liter ary nicest: Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia college, and other prominent educators and writ ers. It will be impossible to adhere closely to the reformed list nt first, hut gradually the changes will be adopted and it Is hoped that schools, academies and colleges adopt the methods of the reformers In full.
