He writes: It is said that in England the lexicon is almost unknown in private houses, usage fixing the pronunciation and in stinct the spelling of words, while with us our English discoverers (they are constantly discovering us) note that there Is always an unabridged diction ary at hand to save u* from wrong doing In such matters. In like manner we put our faith in grammarians, and say, "It is I” and "It is he," while the English boldly say, "It is me” and “It Is him,” having no grammar by them to rebuke them In their solecism. It might be urged that this is only one manifestation of a general national cleavage: that we Americans believe In having our language between covers, for the same reason that we believe in having written constitutions. There may be something In this theory, yet It cannot be followed out consistently. For example, submission to a consti tution is a voluntary act. We made it ourselves, and we are not likely to let any one forget it *Sut submission to a dictionary Is a peculiar abject sort of servitude. No. dictionary ever begins its preface, “We, the people of the United States, In order to form a more perfect language, etc.” The diction ary is an impersonat tyrant, and the long list of distinguished lexicograph ers always printed near the beginning attaching name to the Declaration of Independ ence.

He was a member of the exactly what was the best contempo rary usage. The autocrat’s title, even, is dubious. Yet, on the “consent of the governed” theory, the dictionary’s po sition in this country is impregnable.

McGuire, of this city, recently declared he could not support W. R. Hearst any longer, because Mr. Hearst Is not a Democrat, but that ho was for Mr. Bryan strong, because Mr. Bryan Is for .the initiative and referen dum. The Herald asked Mr. Hearst to comment upon the statement and today received a reply. Mr. Hearst says in part: “I am not a candidate for any of fice whatever, so there would be no opportunity for Mayor McGuire to fa vor me with his valued support, even if he were in complete agreement with my principles and purposes. Then again. Mayor McGuire may be quite right In his assumption that I am not a Democrat. I am a firm believer In the principle which Jefferson enunci ated, in the principles which Lincoln revived, interpreted and exemplified. I believe absolutely, not only in Jeffer son’s theory of equal rights for all, and special privileges to none, but in its practical application to every phase of public policy. I believe in Jefferson’s government for -the greatest good for the greatest number, and of Lincoln’s government of the people, by the peo ple, for the people. I would have been a Democrat In Jefferson’s day, and a Territories. It was figured from that Republican in Lincoln’s day. but wheth map that that in Massachusetts one person out of every 198 owned this valuable work, in New York one out of j every 245, and in Colorado one out of j every 235. while even Indian Territory, the lowest on the list, had a set to every 2.444. A good many States had the equivalent of a set to every tiniest village, nearly all the equivalent of a set in every fair-sized county seat. er I can properly be classified as Dem ocratic in the present days is a matter which I admit is subject to legitimate doubt "In conclusion let me say .that In my opinion there Is no question about the value of the initiative and referen dum. and let me add I have advocated the same measures for many years and what is more to the point we have sue ceeded in Los Angeles, where I have a newspaper, in putting them into such Standing at the Wadley monument on Mulberry street and looking down Third street through the rows of shade trees now beginning to show their beauty, a citizen said yesterday: “Now if there was only a walk right between those trees, from Mulberry to Poplar, wouldn't it be splendid? A walk made of brick, cement or even gravel, about ten or twelve feet wide would make a promenade that would be crowded those hot summer nights, and even in day time it would be used because of its shade. Such a walk wouldn’t cos: much, and it would add a whole lot to the beauty of the park, to say nothing of providing the people with a beautiful promenade.” ”1 am certainly glad Justice will be done John Smith at last.” The hard-o'-hcarlng man had hem reading that Jamestown postage stamps with the face of John Smith on them would Boon be on sale at the postoffice. “The world never did,do Its part by John.

Every time it Is revised, It bestows on us a largesse of some thousands of new words. How gratefully we catch them, even if they are labeled “Colloq” and the only authority cited is “American Newspaper.’" The publisher who can offer his readers five thousand or one thousand more words than are found in any other dictionary, finds this a fact worth exploiting. He makes a friend of every conscientious American who likes some bit of slang or homely phrase, but dares not u?e it in polite society till he has seen it in print in its proper alphatbetlcal place.

Mr. Vorys returned to Columbus Taking a penny and laying It over his eye. the hard-o'-henring man said: “See that! Well, in nine eases out of ten. that’s what keeps some of tho suburbanites from wanting to be an nexed to the city. They don't want to pay their part of the taxes. If you’ll give ’em water and lights nnd fire protection and police nnd all th.it sort of thing and not make ’em pay taxes, then they’d be willing to come Into the city. They'd rather draw wa ter out of the well Into which dead cats or anything else can get in: they’d rather risk typhoid fever and all sorts of sickness by not having sew ers: they’d rather run the chanco of houses being burned up; they’d rather pay more for Insurance on what little they can get; they'd rather do without policeman keeping watch on their homes while they slept; they'd rather alk on the dark streets, and would rather deprive themselves of lots of benefits and comforts than to pay the little tax If they should be annexed. “Their homes in the best part of the section that should come in, will average, on the tax books, about ono thousand dollars each. The. city tax on this would be twelve dollars and a half, or a fraction over a dollar a month. And just think of what they would get for this dollar a month! "If they want water or lights In their homes they are at the mercy of these two companies. They have, no city contract to keep the price from going way up: they must pay what the companies say they must pay. or they must do without.” “Did you know this pigeon-raising business Is getting to be a big thing?” said the hard-o‘-hear!ng man. “Walter Chapman and his son Ar thur are perhaps the biggest raisers, and then comes Uncle Bcyt Jones and Capt. J. F. Oliver. “The Chapman pigeonry Is located nut there beyond Cross Keys wlierj they have a little parlor farm. They started with a cigar box full of pig eons and a handful of Bob Price can taloupe seed, and now they have a little place that some of these days will make as much money ns a moving picture show. “Unde Peyt Jones doesn’t know why he started to falsing pigeons. Ho didn't care to start It to make mon> y out of ’em. but just to have something to piddle with; but the pigeons kept on a growing and increasing until now they are about to get away with him. He sells the overplus of squabs and now he has about got back all the money he paid out In getting started. “With Capt. Oliver it’s different.
