PAYNE, BURNS & SMITH NEW YORK - - Fifth Ave. Bldg. | (Official City, State and County Newspaper) | Murdering American Scholarly gents with good intentions often get worked up unduly over the fact that there are ia! the United States some dozens of American dialects, | each of which is dominant in some one section of che country. These purists say that there should | be one standard pronunciation for every word, and | that the dictionary should have in it only pedigreed , words. Perhaps, jt would be nice if every American spoke | tike every othef” American and every Englishman, and then again, perhaps it wouldn't. Language has | been ctaeine daily since language began. A lim- ited dictionary with a constant, unchanging vocabu- | lary is an impossibility furthermore, for radio has added- some hundreds of new words to the language | in the last few years, and aviation will d> the same! before it is done. { From the point of literature, it is most beneficial | that there never has'been and never will be a fixed and universal language. The ridiculous Harvard) aecent, the melodious southern accent, the broad colloquialisms of the Hoosier, and the solid hard ac- cent of the west all have their plaze, and add to the variety and spice of life. Every American murders his language, but what of it? By repeated murderings of the language | ‘we make progress, in spite of the fact that pedants may argue we have made no progress in speech since the days of Shakespeare. Increased use of printing, increased literacy, and the broadcasting of speech by radio are helping the growth of the language. It is to be hoped thai eventually we shall have a speech of reasonably simple grammar instead of the hadgepodge of in- consistencies which today make it impossible for any but a logician to master the rules in the book. ‘| How About Dempsey? Jack Dempsey is a striking example of what a fickle public will do, Tt was not so long ago that Dempsey was prob- ably the most disliked champion the ring has ever seen.’ They criticized him for not. going to war. They criticized him for not fighting more. They disliked his obvious attempt at dressiness and his attempt to remodel his smashed nose and cauli- flower ears into something a lit.:e more symmet:- rical. When Dempsey met Tunney he had but very few adherents. Most of them were cheering for Tun- ney. There was delight when Dempsey was de- feated. Tunney was ace high. Then dissatisfaction with Tunney began to arise. He was too “high hat”; he put on airs; he didn’t fight enough. Here were practically the same complaints as had been made against Dempsey. But the ex-champion was rising in public favor. Hie decision to try a comeback met with approval and with not a little sympathy. Most of us didn’t think he’d win, but we were pulling for him. Now he“has won. Right here is where the conflict should arise. Which would the public rather have, a crushing, smashing fighter like Dempsey, who has.abandoned | all pretense of elaborateness, or a man like Tur- hey, who likes to read and fights a little more scientifically ? In, all likelihood, the tide will continue to swing toward Dempsey. That is our way, and if Demp- fey swins, he probably once more will descend the ladder of public favor as some new man comes up. o-worship nowadays is more analytical than ‘ & Sas Staircase For $1 The $150,000 marble staircase which Judge E.

One of ; the engines will be called “Paul Revere,” and the other will be called “William Dawes, Jr.,” thus for the first time giving equal honor to the two heroes | who spread the news that the British were going | to march on Lexington. The locomotives will fur- | thermore be gorgeous things done up in buff and, blue, colors of the formal revolutionary unjform. All this is a pretty thought, and the country at} large will rejoice that railroad officials are poets enough to correct the unfortunate blunder of Long- fellow, who in his poem gave honor only to Re-j vere, while Dawes remained an unsung hero until | made the world give glory where glory was lont qverdue, It is, however, establishing a dangerous precedent. Tf all the locomotives of the country are to be given names, and if the names are made as unpronounce- able as the names put on most Pullman cars, we are due for a terrible bout of tongue wrestling. | While there is yet time, let the plea be made that all locomotives be christened with the stark sim- plicity of Dawes and Revere. | Rditorial Comment —_|} Canada’s Rare Clemency (Minneapolis Journal) In the Dominion of Canada, law is law and jus- tice is justice. If a citizen of the Dominion be- comes a lawbreaker, he knows the government is! inexorable, the police effective, the courts diligent, the judges stern, the penalty on conviction com- mensurate, and the punishment fully exacted. There is no softness in the administration of criminal law; it is enforced, to the letter and period. So when, in her celebration of the Diamond Ju- bilee of the Dominion, Canada chooses to mark the accomplishment of sixty years by a general act of clemency toward her imprisoned lawbreakers, there |. is real significance in the act. It is no act of par- don in any sense, by a government so habituated in acts of leniency as to create an impression of pal- liation and to engender disrespect for law by laxity of enforcement. Confident in her might, Canada bids all take heed of her power through her exer- cise of the prerogative of clemency—a prerogative that alP have reason to know is not abused. To all prisoners with terms of more than six months, slight shortening of sentences, varying according to duration, is granted—an act meaningful because of its rarity in this nation in the north. Because of this quality of rarity, Canada’s clem- ency ought to be even more meaningful in the United States. Over here on the south side of the line that runs between two otherwise similar peo- ples, the states, in their administration of law and especially in their punishment for crime, have no! such strong position as Canada’s. We do not, a3 Canada does, make hard the way of the transgres- sor. Too frequently we suffer delays in couft pro- cedures; too often we soften sentences in prison Practices; too commonly we facilitate renewed criminality by parole methods; too generally we en- courage disrespect for law by laxity. Our clem- ency is so ill considered, so common, that it is sig- ‘nificant chiefly of flaccidity. Canada’s is signifi- ant of justice enthroned. Wonderland ‘ (Springfield News) What must the impression have been on the grea: mass mind of Europe as to the wonders of this country, when the second American transatlantic flight within a period of twe weeks was brought to a successful conclusion on German soil? Within the last decade or so Europe has come to expect al- most anything from this somewhat vague wonder- land across the sea. The first striking contact with modery America came when the drums of war were thundering an ominous tattoo. Numbered in the hundreds cf thou- sands came the boys in khaki to espouse the allied cause. Ships touched Europe then, but they were seagoing boats whose giant prows cleft the waves of the Atlantic. Freighted with human cargo they pounded on relentlessly, pouring fresh young troops into the shell-shattered ranks of England and France. Billions of dollars followed them out of America to finance the war. Europe has learned of America, too, in more per- sonal and happier ways. The most humble citizen in the old world hamlet marvels at the letters he gets from friends who sailed away to try their luck in the United States. They tell of prosperity, con- veniences and living conditions that could scarcely be dreamed of in Europe. The immigrant has not come to these shores in vain. One reads almost daily a tale of how some youth of a foreign country came here and made his success in spite of unfamil- iarity with the environment and the people. To the folks back home he describes a veritable fairy- land different from anything they have ever fan- cied existing Gn this earth. He admonishes them, “Come!” So Ellis Island swarms with the hopeful, and quotas are filled almost as soon as the bars are let down. s Now, out the western skies, come these two thrilling developments to, leave Europe wide-eyed and startled. First young Lindbergh slone, soaring down to Le Bourget field like a prince from some wonderland perched carelessly on the back of a fab- ulous, mythical bird.
