Williams af Plerco at tha republican stat oonvao tlon aod I Join with you In saying that a man who will thua viol at tha confidence reposed In blm by tha republicans of hla county, for tha sak. of political gain far himself, la ona In .whom no ona can hav. any confidence. Whan ha want to that atate convention under Instruction passed by resolution In tha Plarca county republican convention to rota for Edward Viawstr for United State senator, he had but that ona thing to do aa long aa Mr. Roaewatar waa In tha field, regardless of what ha thought aa to proapecta or re sults and when It la known that ho eecratl f made a deal with tha Norrla Brown force to eecur their aid In getting tha nominal tlon for railroad oommiaeloner, hla traltor oua acta are tha more aaaurable. There enema to be no doubt aa to hla work and It Via of such a nature that all must condemn. Colfax Repabllean Bitter. Tha republican of thla county of Colfax, which waa ona of the moat enthusiastic and loyal of tha Roaewater counties, are bitter In their denunciation of William and will not vote for him. I suspect that such will be the case all oyer the atate. Leepacially with tha friends of Edward iioeewater. will lams will lose thousands of rotes and It is to be hoped that he will be defeated. A man who will prora to be a traitor to hla home republican, aa well aa to be two-faced with hla supposed frtend, la not tha man to trust In ao Important a position as ml' road commissioner. That la an Important office and tha people hava too much at stake to entrust their Interest in uch hands. "A man who will practically i sell out his friend for the aake of a political '- office would be too apt to sell out the people I where the railroade were Interested on the i other aide. I My object In writing this letter to you , for publication, la to consolidate the repnb- ' hlcana who propose voting against Mr. WU y Haras. There being three democratic canr dldatee for railroad com miaul oner, soma ra il publicans will vote for Herat, aoine for 'Fltsslmmons and some for Davis. By scat tering their votea they might still let WU I Haras slide through, while If they consoli date1 It, he would be sura of defeat. lasTatosttoa OaTorod. I want to suggeat to Tha Bee editor and to republicans who propose cutting the , name of Williams, that they cast their . votes for George Horat of Polk county. ' I hava known George Horst and know him to be a splendid man for that position. Hla several terms In the Nebraska legis lature tell best of him. I suggest to The Bee editor to take up thla suggeatlon and j advise tha Roaewater republicans and re kpublloans who won't vote for a man like Williams to all vote for George Horat. Thar la another reason wby The Bae should do thla, and that la In protection of Wlnnett and Cow ell, whom It supports. If the vote In tha state Is close the defection 'from Williams, If scattered among Horst fnuslmmons and Davis, might defeat all Uhree republican candidates. Personally, I am for the three democratic nominees and would like to see all three elected, but I want to sea William de feated aura, and If ona of the three demo- icjrata la auoceeaful I want honest George I Horst, that one. Let The Bee editor give thls his attention and Mr. Williams will mot be on that board where he can have the chanoe to betray the people. Very truly iyoure. . JOHN C. BPRECHER.

REFORM IN SPELLING SLOW Follies Cannot Be Driven Away bj Lash Wielded by Mao. CHANCELLOR ANDRtWS ON ORTHOGRAPHY Movement for Better Spelling; Mast Proceed Slowly It It is to Bo of Aajr Real Service to tho Lamsrnasje. LINCOLN. Sept. n. Speclal.r-Thls morning- Chancellor Andrews delivered his annual opening address ' to the student body ot the University of Nebraska. His subject was "Sans Spelling," and he dis cussed the present movement for a reform tn orthography in detail. Among other things the chancellor, who la an advocate of the proposed reforms, said: Follies In spelling take tbelr own tlms In passing away. You cannot hurry them with the lash. No step in th progress of orthography is mad possible or eunler by efforts at coercion or dictation. The move ment has always been spentaneoua and will continue so. You cannot hasten It by dlct any more than you can stay it by Jet. If a man wishes to writ though for tho, using Just loo per cent more time, work, paper and Ink than neceaaary, it la of no ua to flay , him or even to put him In a museum. Wisdom la Justified of her children. Thoughtful men and women become im pressed with the unreaaon of such spelling, and little by little chang their practice. Others follow. Influenced by example. All I voluntary. Innovators snd laggard allk ar derided. The flrat apelling 're former who wrot mualc for muslck waa pronounced a crank. After a time any who added the k were conaldered cranks. And o th reform has spread, never swiftly enough to pacify faddists, taughud at by the thoughtless, but not materially retarded by any of Its opponent. War on with a sens for aane apelling to writ without reference to hi reader, hi apallang program would be !mple enough. Remembering that a letter may be ailent and yet of use to tell tho sound of a near letter or to distinguish on ense of a word from another, he would proceed according to precept omewhat like thla! V When a letter or combination of let ters la In no sens helpful or neceaaary, leav It out. 2. When a letter or combination differ ing from the usual one render tha sound belter than ths usual one, substitute It for th usual on. But such a program, slmpl as it I, would, If carried out all at once, pro due odd and urprUing change, which, a ao many of us write for non-reformer and Philistine, would glv much offens and hinder progreaa In apelling instead of peedtng it. Real reform must, therefore, ptTforce, be moderate, not attempting too much at once. Advocacy of the use, forthwith, of many new spellings, or of spellings over which men need pause to ascertain their meanings, Is tha sign of tl:e dortrlnalr. A speller who. as a good bi ginning, sitnply writes tho, and keeps the tail off prolog and Its cognalea, helpa the eauee much more. To make the two rules workable, real measure of reform, I therefor addl each with tha provlao that th new spelling rouat not In a context neceasltate atudy or oc caalon doubt, uncertainty or ambiguity re specting the word Jt denotes. To determine whether a new spelling Is to he used In plac of th old we should ask: 1. Is It more economical either (a) In the learning of It, or ! In the u'ing of UT 2. Would It. If employed In a context, In vol v ambiguity or occasion hesitation or rturiv tn reelect to its meaning? If am blwulty la golis to rem!?, the spelling t not to be recommended, as It cannot prove a sten in reform. Thus, sithe I not o smxt a rrform word a vthe. which, more over, la Sl . K-; t" c'a preference even If It Is aot th form xclualvelgr ud by biro.

In doing this many hats were chosen that actually sell at more on the Rue de la Paix, and the hat s could be duplicated nowhere else in America for this figure. It is an assemblage of brijliant beauty from the work rooms of the master milliners of France. ' In this array are many beautiful New York model hats as well. ...... Stunning Dress Hats at and garniture the large high crown sailors trimmed feathers the small dressy turbans, in beauuiul color monies a complete range of style, at . Nearly all that if said against the re vision of aiielllng seems to involve and pro ceed upon the vicious supposition that there Is somewhere, most suppose It resident n dictionaries, a standard of authority in spelling, a species of Bible for spellers, a supreme court constitutionally composed to try alleged breaches of orthography oyer et terminer. Many seem to hold a doctrine of orthographic legitimacy parallel to the exploded dogmas of political lerltlmacy In state and ecclesiastical legitimacy In church. Th fact Is that In orthnjrraphy, outalde printing ahopa, no such standard of authority, Bible, or supreme court exists. Dictionaries sre not such and do not pre tend to be. They at best record usage and this very Imperfectly. No dictionary is an "authority.'! There Is no such thing as orthographic legitimacy. As nearly all are agreed that no form of government Is so superior to all others that others must perforc always be wrong; each being leg.tl mate In proportion a It subserve the ends of men's rational existence, and that no church polity in particular Is, as agnJnst all othera, of specific divine ordination, each being good in proportion as it aids th faithful to live and die well, In like manner no spelling possesses prescriptive or authoritative legitimacy, but that spell ing is best In any case which most truly asalats speech.
