Some of the English newspapers appear greatly worried because president Roosevelt has indorsed the spelling reform. In their comments they proceed upon the assumption that the presi dent's work in this matter is final and that the King's English is in danger of great harm at the hands of the reform spellers. Our English cousins do notknow how tilings are done in the republic. What the president says on matters outside of his executive province is taken for what it is worth. Presidents do not rule. They serve. Mr. Roosevelt will have his let ters and messages spelled by the new method. But when the news papers come to print these docu ments they will exercise their pleasure. Each newspaper has its own rules as to spelling. Most editors will say , "Teddy made a mistake this time , " and pay to further attention. The history of each English word is bound up in its form. To lose the form is to lose the key to the word's history and to all the subtle distinctions that have grown up with its use. The loss in accociation , in tradition and in practical benefit , is more than the gam. gam.Moreover Moreover The employment of awkward spelling interferes with the ease and enjoyment of reading. EJi- tors and authors try to make their stuff easily read. If the new forms are introduced this will be difficult. One new word is sufficient to give the average read er a pain that will last through an entire paragraph. There are other reasons , but these are sufficient to give the printers' pause. Spelling reform may come but it must come gradually as all re forms must come , The English purists should not be afraid. A president is not a king. king.Mr. Mr. Roosevelt is a fine , brave fellow whom we all like , but he has not power enough to change the spelling of a single word : to say nothing of the list of one hundred.

Mi Deer Mr. Lobe Having de- cidd to adop the nu styl speling , I thot I'd ryt yu a letter of egspla- nashun. Andy Carnegee contributd to the cawz of reformd speling and I promisd to boost the thing az much az posibl. It is mi ame to hav the reformd speling used in al corres pondence eminating frum the White Hows.

This stunt ot to make a hit with the peepl. They want something strenuus nowdays , and I think when anybody wants anything reel bad they ot to get it. I went thro the hole list of words submitd by Chancelor Andrews of Nebraska and made a few additions. For instance in mamma drop an m thus , mama , yu no thar are too many m's and not enuf mamas to suit me. I think , the , that graft ot to be speld the same old way.

President Rooscve rts Spell ing Kef or m. Upon the. rostrum now disclosed The teacher Rozvelt has expozed , And in commanding , tones he yeld Three hundred wo.vds have been misspeld. Old Webster's unabridgd he ript , And of its beauty there he stript To find the words that has depresfc Our language , and our pen dis- trest. Of what a mind is he possest That he should suddenly be mixt ? Perhaps his stomach is distrest , Or that his head needs to be fixt. The praise of Rozvelt has been husht Since he has practiced this re form ; His presidential boom is squsht , Just now he leads a hope forlorn. We think some limit should be fixt On spelling letters in a word : Orthography enough is mixt And Rozvelt's idea is absurd. Lest we retire from Babel's towr , Confusion in our native speech ; In unity we have our powr , And hang onto it like a leech. BRYAN'S WELCOME HDM . From World-Herald. New York , Aug. 80. Such a wel come as seldom in this country's history has been accorded a private citizen was given William Jennings Bryan at Madison Square Garden tonight in the celebration of his re turn from a year ot foreign travel. As the guest of the Commercial Travelers' Anti-Trust league , Mr. Bryan was greeted by more than 20,000 persons , who filled the great structure from the floor to upper gallery. The streets and avenues outside the garden were choked for blocks by other thousands who stood patiently for hours for the privilege of even a fleeting glance at the dis tinguished visitor. The interior of the garden was a waving sea of col or. Every person in the audience had been provided with an American flag and every cheer from 20,000 throats was accentuated by the waving of 20,000 staffs bearing the' stars and stripes. When Mr. Bryan entered the hall the proceedings which had already bugun were brought to a temporary pause while for eight minutes volley after volley of thousands of cheers rolled through the great building. When Chairman Torn L. Johnson in his introduction of Mr. Bryan referred to the guest of the evening as "the first citizen , if not the first official of the land not yet the first official , " and Mr. Bryan rose , the great gathering broke out in unre strained cheering , while the band played "Hail to the Chief. " -BRYAN DEEPLY TOUCHED. So touched was Mr. Bryan by the welcome that as he stood waiting for the cheers to subside his eyes filled with tears and he strode ner vously from side to side of the nar row platform. "How can I thank you'tor this ' j welcome home ? " he said. | "My heart would be ungrateful if | it did not consecrate itself to your service. It was kind to prepare this reception. It was kind of Governor Folk to come here all the way fro m Missouri. It was kind of Torn John son , that example of the moral courage we so much need in this country , to tender his presence here. "It was kind in you to recompense me fully in being absent so long from my native land. I thank you. I return to the land of my birth , more proud of my citizenship than ever before. " The doors of Madison Square gar den were opened at 5:30 o'clock and by that time hundreds of ticket holders were clamoring for admit tance. Police lines had been formed for three blocks from all entrances. In this way the early comers were well handled. The immense auditorium - torium with its tiers of balconies J and galleries rising to the great glass roof began to fill up so quickly - ' ly that the ushers and policemen i had difficulty in adhering to the ; seating arrangements. It was a j gay spirited , big natured audience which had a cheer for everyone. | There were calls and countercalls- , Every Nephew should be deeply interested in what he has said about soda crackers , because they are the one food with which all of them are familiar. Uncle Sam has given out figures showing that soda crackers are richer in nutriment and body-building elements , properly proportioned , than any food made from flour. This is saying much for common soda crackers , and much more for UftGeda BiSCUit , because they are soda crackers of the best quality. They are baked better more scientifically. They are packed better more cleanly. The damp , dust and odor proof package retains all the good ness and nutriment of the wheat , all the freshness of the best baking , all the purity of the cleanest bakeries. Your Uncle Sam has shown what .food he thinks best for his people. * His people have shown that they think Uiteeda BiSCUBt the best of that food , nearly 400,000,000 packages having already'been consumed. Uneeda Biscuit NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY from the various stale conventions. "HOME FOLKS" THERE. The "Nebraska Bryan's Home Folks" arrived in a body and were given seats just back of the speak er's stand , at the Twenty-soventh street side of the garden. The hall was devoid of decora tions , other than the bunting and flags placed aoout the temporary stage. But each person m the vast audience had been presented with a flag by the reception committee and the waving of these made a picture. such as the garden has seldom wit- -nessed. j j Before the meeting wan called to order a band played merrily. Such tunes as "Maryland , " "My Old Ken tucky Home , " "Way Down Upon the Suwanee River , " and ether melodies of the south , caused tumultuous ap plause. But when the first strains of "Dixie" were sounded the Bryan welcomers were on their feet in an instant and the cheers , completely drowned the band. As each notable democrat entered the hall and was recognized , his name was called , and the cheering was renewed. Twelve thousand persons , many of them women , were seated at 7 o'clock and an hour later not a va- cant.seat was to be seen. The heat in the garden , once the crowd had assembled , was so great that a large portion of the glass roof was pushed back , leaving the stars as a canopy. The galleries early wore jammed to their utmost capacity. Hundreds of policeman and fifty firemen were on duty in the giant structure. GALLED TO ORDER. At 8 o'clock when Mr. Bryan h ad not yet arrived , Harry W.Walker , on behalf of the Gommerchi Trav elers' Anti-trust league , called the assemblage to order. Gov. Folk was given an ovation and it was several minutes before he could speak. When he finally secured silence he asked his hearers to be as quiet as possible , otherwise none of the speakers , not even Mr. Bryan himself , could bo heard. The mention of Mr. Bryan's name called forth renewed cheering. W. LCohee was in town Friday. Dave Hancock and "Waller Todd were in town Monday.
