PRESIDENT'S SPELLING REFORM Roosevelt gay Chaaare Will Be Dropped If It Dees Kot Meet Popalar Approval. 1 OTSTER BAY, N. T.. Sept. S.-In a letter to Charles A. Stilling, public printer at Washington, made publlo today, President Roosevelt wrote that If the changes In spelling advocated by th simplified spell ing board and put Into use In official docu ments meete popular approval they will be made permanent. If not, he wrote, they will be dropped. The president' letter fol lows: . ' Hon. Charles A. Stilling. Public Printer, Washington, D. C My Iear Mr. Stllllngs: I enclose herewith copies of certain cir culars of ' the simplified spelling lnard. which can be obtained free from the board at No. 1 Madison avenue. New York City. Please hereafter direct that In all govern ment publications of the executive depart ments the above 300 words enumerated In circular No. 5. shall be spelled a therein set forth. If any one auks the reason for the action, refer him to circulars 1. 4 and as Issued by the simplified spelling hoard. Most of the criticism of the proposed step Is evidently msde In entire ls-norsnce of what the step la no less than In entire Ignorance of the. very moderate and com mon sense views as to the purposes to be achieved, which views are so excellently set forth In the circulars to which I hsve referred. There Is not the slightest Inten tion to do snythlng revolutionary or In itiate sny far-reaching policy. The purpose simply Is for the government. Instead of laae-tng behind popular senti ment tn advance abreast of It and at the same time abreaet of the views of the shiest and most practical educators of our time, as well as of th more profound scholars, men of the stamp of Prof. Lotins berry and Prof, flkeat.. If the slight changes In the spelling of the X words proposed wholly or partially meet popular approval then the changes will become per manent without anv reference to what pub lic officials or Individual private cltlsens mav feel; If they do not ultimately meet with popular approval they will be dropped and that Is sll there Is about It. They represent nothing In the world but a very slight extension of the unconscious move ment which has msde agricultural Imple ment makers snd farmers write "plow" Instead of "plough." which has made most Americans write "honor" without the some what absurd superfluous "u"; snd which Is even now making people write "program" without the "me, Just as all people who speak English now write "bat," "dim," "sum" and "flsh." Instesd of the Eliza bethan "batte," "sette," "dlmme." "summe" snd "fyshe:" Which makes us write "public," "almanac." "era," "fan tasy" and "wagon," instead of the "pub lick," "almanack." "aera," "phantasy" and "waggon" of ' our great fathers. It Is not sn attack on the language of Shakespeare and Milton, because 4t Is In some Instances a going-hack to the forms they used, and In others merely the ex tension of changes which, as reo-ards other words, have taken place since their time. It Is not an attempt to no anything far reaching or sudden or vlolertti or Indeed anything very great at all. It Is merely sn sttempt to cast what alight weight can properly he cast on the side of the popular forces which are endeavoring to make our spelling a little leas foolish and fantastic.

The face of Edward Rosewater, for many yeara a familiar feature of the reunions of the Old Time Telegraphers and-Hi' torlcal -association and the Society of the United States. Military Telegraph Corps, will be missed when these bodies meet In Washington thla fall. Mr. Rosewater was ever proud of his active connection with the governments telegraph servtc In the daya of the civil war and had been present at several recent annual reunion of. the knight of the key. When the date for thla year' a meeting waa aet it was hoped that Mr. Rosewater might again be present. - Many hundreds of representative teleg raphers will undoubtedly gather from all parte of the country. The two bodies hold their meeting simultaneously on October t. 10 and 11. It Is peculiarly appropriate that th coming meeting ahall be held In Wash Ington. the home of the wonderful art which haa done ao much to civilise th world and bring - natlona within closer touch. Thla city was the scene of the operation of the first practical telegraph line ever built and operated, and where Prof. Morse planned, worked and experi mented, until at laat the wonderful achievement was recorded in the simple message, "Be what God hath wrought." The headquarters of the two associa tions will be at the Arlington hotel, and this hostelry will be the scene of more reunion than are contemplated In the program when those who have worked over miles of wire come together face to face, many old-time wire friends meet ing for the first time tn person, though familiar and well acquainted with each other while separated by Immense dis tances. ( Home of the Telegraph. ' No place in the United States Is so close to the telegraph aa this city of Washington. It Is the right arm of the government In peace aa it was in war, and it would be a difficult matter to carry tn the government without Ita aid. Indeed, when the telegraph falls, for any reason, business of tall kinds la practically at a standstill. These men and women 'who have given their live to th service will be th guests of Washington for three days, and It is due them that their presence here Is made a matter of notice by the busi ness men of the city. T . Many of the military telegrapher took their lives In their hands during the dark and bloody day of the civil war, and to them la- due no little of the glory of the final result." ' They have never received that recogni tion at the Hand 'of th people' repre sent.atlvea . in -oongress to which thetr great and arduous aervtcea In the Held, in the hospital.' at the forefront or strife and in the dark, silent nights on tb out. posts of the army entitle them. This, however, is not what they are com ing here for. They are coming to hold a business meeting to renew old acquaint ance, and to have a good time. ' A number of committees have been ap pointed and are hand at work, and have been for some time, perfecting arrange ments for the coming reunion. Many Notable Names. Mr. William H. Young of .the Western Union Telegraph company la president of the old timers, and Colonel W. B. Wilson of Holmeeburg. Pa., Is president of the Mllltsry Telegraph Corps society.

Weir, president of Adama Express company, and Innumerable host of other. ,The buslnesa meeting of the Old Time Telegrapher and . Historical association will be held at the Arlington hotel at 10 a. m., October 9, and will be followed at 11 a. m. by the business meeting of the Society of the United State Military Tele graph Corps. . . Excursions, receptions and a banquet will form part of the entertainment, the details of which have not been quit perfected, but ' it la earnestly hoped that the affair will be auch aa to reflect credit not only upon the telegrapher of Washington, who nave tha matter In hand, but on the cltl sens of "Greater Washington," in th crea tion and preservation of which th Old Timer have played ao Important a part in day gone by, and upon whose faith and Integrity depend In no small degree th success of all buslnesa affair.
