NEEDS OF THE LANGUAGE. There is much merit in the appeal of Alexander Graham Bell in urging the advisability of an international agreement on e universal alphabet to represent the sounds of speech after a uniform system. When he gives examples of the absurdities of our speech he only bears down lightly, for the irregularities of the English lan- guage are well known. Mr. Bell takes & deep interest in such matters and sees the chance for the English lan- guage to become the universal lan- guage, if there was a standard of pro- nunciation. To the foreigner, the English language has many absurdi- ties and proves one of the hardest to learn and understand. The methods of spelling and pronunciation are a puzzle, for while t-h-o-u-g-h, though, is pronounced tho, t-h-r-o-u-g-h is not pronounced throw; vet a foreigner might think so. In the same way, enough is pronounced enuff, but cough is not pronounced cuff, nor cow the same as plough is pronounced plow. Rough is not pronounced row, but a foreigner might be justified in using sough for so, sew, or sow, Simplified spelling overcomes many of the difficulties, but no particular system is recommended; in fact, mo recommendation is made except the wise one—that an investigation should be made tending to a change that will overcome such ridiculous conditions.

I WILL ACCEPT THE NOMINA- TION FOR PRESIDENT IF IT IS TENDERED TO ME. — Theodore Roosevelt, February 24, 1912, of the employes and the opposition to higher wages, are attributable, in a large degree, to the immigrant. The desirable immigrant will always be welcome, and one of the best ways to secure him is to take stringent meas- ures to keep out those who are un- desirable. Immigration figures for 1911 show that there has been a de- crease in the number over 1910 by 160,000, thoge who came in 1911 hav- ing numbered 1,030,000, H=alf of these were from southern and eastern Bur- ope, and a third from northern and western Burope. Nearly 60 per cent. of the imumigrants were destined for Tllinois, Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania, and 81 per cent. for the section east of the Mississippi and north of the Potomac ,one-quarter be- ing illiterates. o In an effort to meet the immigration problem many have advecated the dis- tribution of these people over a larger territory, There is difficulty in this plan, as they are governed entirely by the question of supply and demand for labor. Unable to get a living in a big center, they are likely to go where help is wanted and wages better. Ex- cept the settlers, they have little pref- erence as to where they go, but they are attracted by the question of wages. Congestion cannot be benefited, as long as cheap-labor demand is met by importing the help, and conditions among those people cannot improve. How frequent have been the experi- ECONCWY AND EFFICIENCY. In his latest message to congress on economy and efficiency in the gov- ernment service, President Taft has taken up in detail his previously de- clared policy of cutting down the enormous government expense, with- out loss of eficiency. In fact, under the plan he proposes, he provides for more expeditious handling of the gov- ernment’'s business with less people d Yess money involved. He has been able to dig into this problem of ex- pense through the services of an in- vestigating commission, which has faithfully performed its duty. A num- ber of radical changes are included in the recommendations which will re- sult, it adopted, in saving each year $11,000,000 or more for the reduction of indebtedness or for the extension of activities already under way. From the changes in the postoffice depart- ment alone it is estimatedjover $10,- 000,000 can be saved, a sum worth trying for. The effort to get the post- office department firmly placed on a profitable basis is evidenced by his desire to get the postmasters of the first and second class offices in the classified service, which means being subject to competitive examination under the civil service rules. Experi- Trinity Play Against Yale ference of Alumni and Ministers of Connecticut—New Athletic Constitution Passed. New Haven, Conn., April 4—The Waster recess of seven days began yesterday at 1.20 o'clock. The uni- versity reopens on Thursday morn- ing, April 11. The exodus of students began several days ago when the out- brealk of measles gave a pretext for departure, but a good part of the un- dergraduate body will remain during the holidays, the crew squads in par- ticular being .obliged to remain for dally practice, while many from the western and other distant sections will spend the week in New Haven and New York. Excellent early season form was shown by the Yale baseball team in its first game of the season with Trinity college of Hartford Saturday. In the visitors’ line up were Murray, short- stop of Norwich, and L’Heureu, al- 80 a former Academy player, of Jewett City. Trinlty gave promise of an in- teresting contest at the outset, Murray singling to left fleld and scoring aft- er Captain L'Heureux placed a double in deep left.

Mould, Box 683, Yale Station, has charge of the plans for the entertainment of visiting clergymen. s At a university mass meeting in ‘Woolsey hall, Monday evening, the new athletic constitution proposed by the University Athletic committee was passed by a vote of 688 to 178.

GREATEST IRISH PICTURE EVER SHOWN IN TWO REELS The University baseball team is starting its Easter Southern trip, dur- ing which it will play six games, rucets Georgetown today at Washingten.

On Mon- day and Tuesday, there are two games | be from the college and two from the with Johns Hopkins at Baltimore, and | the final game is with the New York Nationa:s at New York on Wednes- day, April 10. Measles broke out Saturday among members of the Freshman class living on York street, and to avold an epi- demic of that disease among the stu- dents the dormitories were at once closed and the men living in them given a more extended vacation—by three days—than their fellow students. The report was rife that if another case of measles developed Dean Jones would dismiss the entire class, but all attempts to produce the desired artl- cle were Ineffectual and the class, as a whole, remained until the regess be- gan. Officially, it is stated that the five or slx cases among the Freshman class are proportionately no more than among the resident population of New Haven. The third annual conference of the Alumni and Ministers of Connecticut will be held at the Yale Divinity school from April 156 to 18. The conference is to be conducted in connection with e the class of the College or Scientific | Unlversity squad ,only twenty-five school which will be the senior class in the next collegiate year. The as- sistant managers shall be chosen from the members of the class of the College or Scientific school which will be the Jjunior class in the next collegiate year. Two of the assistant managers must Scientific school, for a period of at least seven years from date of the adoption of this constitution. Second assistant managers for each of the teams and crew are to be likewise chosen from the two classes. From the second as- sistants will be chosen the assistant managers and the Freshman managers and from the assistant managers, the managers. In thus dividing up the managerships evenly between the two departments, and the introduction of a kind of competition, it is belleved that a higher degree of University unity and good feeling will be brought about, as well as placing Yale athletes on a firmer basis, Club crews have been formed at Yale during the past week, with the idea of giving all who wish an opportunity of rowing. Any man on the clubs who shows ability, and improvement, will according to the plan, be taken on the University squad, while, vice versa, men will be dropped to the clubs if their rowing is not up to University standard.

With the same end in view, he sees the opportunity for more efficient service by the abolishing of the rev- enue cutter service, which is now both of & naval and civil character, and d@viding those characteristics where they can be more effectively and prop- erly taken care of, under the depart- ment of commerce and labor, the un- mecesgary vessels to go to the war department.

Here in the east, little is known of the ravages of a good-sized flood and the great damages and suffering that it causes, High water has at time done some damage in a small way in this vicinity, but no devastation of the country through which the river flows ever results to give an idea of the eonditions when the Mississippi over- flows its banks, There is no regular- ity about such a period of high water, nature springing a surprise which in- undates the entire Mississippi valley now and then, Reports cannot describe the river rising 52 feet, breaking its bounds, and have one here fully com- prehend. Expenditures to prevent such floods by embankments run into the millions, but the river at such time knows no bounds, and in a night, channels, on which the government has spent millions, are changed, and high water every spring anges the navi- gation route on ‘the river. The danger from floods, however, has decreased greatly as the result of the systematic work thereon, but the rise to within three feet of record tells of a mighty rush of water im- posgible to curb. The Mississ s a vast highway of commerce and in providing $350,000 at once in an en- deavor to strengthen levees and pro- vide all possible protection the gov ernment acted wisely and expeditions- ly. Over $200,000,000 has been pro- vided to deepen the river and its trib- utaries so that some day, though it will not be in the near future, this great force will be under control, it is hoped LaFollette, buoyed up by the fact that he has more delegates now than the Colonel, is planning to back his campaign at every point possible with the idea of beating out the ex-presi- dent in the convention, After all the boosting that Roose- velt has done for the presidential pri. mary law and the expression of faith in the people, he was afraid to permit his name to be used in Wisconsin. The Boston minister -who wanis bables to be given quotations from Plalo instead of baby talk, doesn't understand 8 mother's heart or a hild's responsive emotions. How much Governor Stubbs of Kan- sas knew of the feeling of his con stituents, politically, is shown by the fact that five of the six wards of Topeka went for Taft, Governor Baldwin doesn't hesitate te may the corporations are more of a blessing than a curse to the state, ond no sane man dispuies him, | Insurance men claim that the dis- arming of the law-abiding citizens has led to an increase in the nmumber of burglaries and hold-ups and it op- erates to protect the law breaker and ruffian. Magistrate Corrigan of the metropolis now joins in the protest against the law. With his experience and opinion gained from his official capacity, giving expression in opposi- tion, it would seem as though the law was bad and needed a change. The law hurts the firearms business to a certain extent, but its repeal will open up an avenue for additional business. EDITORIAL NOTES.
