COCKNEY AS A DIALECT.
The efforts of the London county
council to drive out the Cockney
speech from the schools of the English
metropolis hardly needed the opposi
tion given in a book recently issued in
defense of the dialect. This book, which
is, curiously enough, the work of a man
named Mackenzie Macßride, contends
that Cockney is no modern dialect, but
that it possesses an ancient and hon
orable lineage running back nearly
1,000 years. When one born within
sound of Bow Bells says "thet" for
"that," "benk" for "bank," and "by
lyffe" for "bailiff," he Is using no mod
ern corruption of the English lan
guage, but the pronunciation of those
words which has obtained not only in
London, but in Kent and Surrey for
hundreds of years. Moreover, in an
cient times, tho words were spelled as
khe Cockney now sounds them. So,
too, are "abaht" and "ahtside" justi
fied for "about" and "outside," accord
ing to Mr. Macßride. He says that
many Londoners have been laughed out
of these ancient pronunciations, and
he advises them not to change theii
speech, because ol' outside prejudices
against it, says tho Chicago Tribune.
Certainly Cockney would seem to be a
dialect or it would not have survived
for so many centuries in the midst of
speech which calls itself more cul
tured. It is a curious fact that in
the Bahama islands, which were set
tled more than 200 years ago by Lon
doners, tho Cockney dialect is as
strong as in Cheapside.
These are the days for sausage.
There is no use for a person to stick
up his nose at sausage, for sausage
is good when it is made right. It is
the response of the food world to the
polar breeze that blows through the
morning. It is as sweet as a plate
of strawberries on a mild June day.
But it must be made right. Good sau
sage is an art product. It is made
up of judgment, taste and skill. It ia
a combination of Ingredients that cor
relate with one another as the fra
grance and the blush of the rose. The
butcher doesn't understand this. Gen
erally ho throws in some scraps and
odds and ends, and especially the odds,
dabs of some salt, pepper and sage,
grinds it out, and the confiding cus
tomer buys it because it is sausage,
eays ihe Ohio State Journal. He does't
like it very well, but he eats it,
and everything goesA The r>tb
er day we saw a customer in a meat
shop direct the making of his own
sausage. He selected the meat, simon
pure cuts off tho best parts, had it
ground and took it home to season it
there. That man knows how to take
care of himself. He knows art from
a bull's foot. He appreciates the
true sentiment of sausage.
"Remove not the ancient landmark,"
Is a Scriptural injunction to whose
value the United States is only begin
ning to subscribe in earnest, says the
Omaha Bee. Spasmodic efforts at
preservation have been made here and
there, the most notable being in the
case of tho Yellowstone, but the in
sensate greed of the utilitarian world
has wrought heavy damage in many
spots of beauty and wonder ere the
people awoke to a realization of the
wantoness. The Palisades of the Hud
son have been saved after years of
desultory fighting, during which com
mercialism was steadily at work scar
ring the noble features of the Hudson.
Similar destruction of the famous Del
aware Water Gap has been averted
with tho utmost difficulty. Only pri
vuto enthusiasm and ability to pay
saved and perpetuated tho Garden of
the Gods, which a wealthy patron has
Just presented as a Christmas gift to
Colorado Springs.
Tho announcement that the two
ends of a waterway by which it will be
possible for vessels to avoid passing
outside of Caps Ilatteras have been
Joined, so that completion of the routo
is a matter of but a short time, is of
special interest. Cape Ilatteras Is ono
of the most dangerous points along
tho American coast, particularly at
certain seasons, and anything which
can lessen its terrors for mariners
or pass' tigers will lie a most welcome
change. incidentally the canal in
question will form one of the links in

NEW YORK TRIBUNE SEES EVIL
IN ONE-MAN POWER.
Larger Measure of Self-Governmer.t
by the House !s Highly Desirabls
—Better Work May Be
Looked Per.
Hon. Champ Clark surrendered
gracefully to the inevitable when he
announced that he would favor the
creation of a committee on commit
tees or some other method of dives
ting the speaker of the house of rep
resentatives of the power to make
committee appointments, it is doubt
ful whether Mr. Clark could have
seriously contemplated the retention
under Democratic rule of the one
man method of house control which
he denounced so vigorously when
practised under Republican rule. To
succeeed Mr. Cannon and at the same
time surrender a large share of polit
ical perquisites which Mr. Cannon
enjoyed might seem a personal hard
ship, but Mr. Clark a good enough
philcsophel and politician to realize
that in abandoning the overlordship
which former speakers have exer
cised, he only yields what the voters
havo clearly indicated that they de
sire no future presiding officer of the
house of representatives to possess.
The house has already partly ac
customed itself to a larger measure
of self-government. It has done bet
ter work under the new system than
it did under the old, and no political
leader or political party could afford
to attem. t to reverse the hands of
progress and go back to the abso
lutism which fell at last of its own
dead weight. The senate gets along
well enough naming its own commit
tees and there is no reason why the
house should not be able to apportion
the committee chairmanships. Great
er responsibility and less servility
will result from a distribution of au
thority, and tho leaders who exercise
conjointly tho power of selection and
promotion are much more likely to
deal fairly with the various elements
in the house membership than one
man, forced by tradition and the ne
cessities of his situation to parcel
out the best places on tho committees
largely as iiersonal rewards. New

Not in This Generation.
The secretary of war is of the opin
'in that the administration of the
Philippines cannot be turned over to
tho natives "within the time of the
present generation," and that It is
wrong to encourage tho delusion that
such a change can he mude. He is
quite Nor is there any real
sentiment among the Filipinos that
uch a change shall immediately and
completely be made. There is a good
deal of talk in regard to "independ
ence" and self government. Hut act

w**nt. The most advanced of the na
tive politicians want only Independ
ence with a guarantee from tho
United States, which, cli arly, is not
Independence at all. We should be
criminally foolish to make an) such
arrangemi nt, by which all responsibil

WAITING FOR LOW PRICES
Consumers Probably Are Realizing
That Post-Election Noise Is
Sometimes Meaningless.
I>id the American consumers hear
a great noise immediately after tho
November election about the tre
mendous fall of prices—all tho re
sult of the verdict in the ballot
| boxes.
I!athe American consumers yet
| observed in their bills a correspond
: ing fall in the amounts which they
| have been paying for the commod
ities that make up their cost of liv
ing? Have they been assured by tho
butcher, the grocer and the candle
stick maker that on the first of the
month liberal deductions will he
made from the former iiigU totals of
! a month's buying?
Have the American <onsumers re
| cently even heard much of that post
j election noise about how everything
, was coining down faster and faster
with every new quotation—every
thing coming ;!own but the amount of
| cash paid for the cost of living?
I Not so.
So the new legislators and gov-
I ernors and others elected on Novem
| ber 8 to reduce the cost of living so ■
that its own mother would not know
it—and pledged to do that very thing,
| too—have not been robbed by the
( natural laws of their chance to make
| good. In a few days they will be
going into office, with the exception
| of the Democratic house of represent
| atives, which cannot help in the res
j cue of the American consumers till
j after March 4. The chance will still
•be there. Perhaps they will, in fact,
reduce the cost of living; perhaps
i not.
TROUBLE AHEAD FOR PARTY
| Democrats May Anticipate Little
Pleasure in Putting Through Their
"Tariff Revision."
The Democrats arc planning an or-
I ganization for tariff revision at the
next session, when they will control
the house of representatives. The
I method of reduction most favored
| seems (o bo the sliding scale plan of
I IP3U. reaching the revenue-only mini
-1 mum in nine or ten years. It is prom
: ised, however, that on "some schedules
the reduction will be considerable and
I imni< diate."
The hope of tho Democrats at the
next session Is not really to reduce the
tariff but only to work out a program
of tariff reduction with which togo
befori th people In 1 i»!2 and secure
complete power to reduce the tariff
through a Democratic house, senate
> and president, if they have the luck to
j obtain all three.
Believing it in the . public Interest
1 that the Democratic party should have
| a clear and consistent program of tar
ilT reduction with which togo before
| the people for their judgment we ven
| ture to point out visible weakness In
■ the proponed amendment.
The weakness Is in the proposal to
I anticipate a horizontal sliding scale
| reduction with Immediate reductions
in "some schedules." If the Demo
crats '<> ihat predict they will have
Jut 'if tame troubles with doublc

Grape Fruit, Pomelo or Shaddock.
This, fruit when first Introduced,
was considered only as a breakfast
fruit, but it is now so popular that it
is in demand for all meals and is
served in such a variety of forms that
it seems to have practically no limi
tations.
In purchasing a grapo fruit pick out
thoso that seem heavy for their size
as the fruit is much more juicy.
To serve for breakfast, the most
common way is to cut them across, re
move the tough fiber and seeds, cut
ting around the fruit next to the pulp,
sprinkle with sugar and let stand over
night to season.
A most delicious grape fruit salad
is made by removing the pulp care
fully in small sections, mix with vhitfc
grapes from which the skins have
been removed, a few blanched almonda
and a bit of celery, all served with
French dressing on lettuce leaves.
Grape Fruit Sherbet. —Take the
juice of six grape fruit, add four cups
of sugar and a pint of water. Dissolve
a tablespoonful of gelatin and add to
the fruit juice and sugar after it has
boiled five minutes. Cool and partly
freeze; add two whites of egg well
whipped and finish freezing.
Grape Fruit Marmalade.—Cut off the
rind and boil it in salted water until
translucent; drain and soak in fresh
water two hours. Scrape out with a
f.poon the white inner pulp and cut
the rind in thin strips. Add the rind j
to the juice with an equal quantity of ;
sugar and cook until it jellies, about
an hour.
Candied Grape Fruit.—Place the
rind in brine over night and put In
fresh water in the morning. Do not
leave until all the bitterness is drawn
out. Squeeze and strain the juice and
I let stand over night with the sugar,
! using pound for pound for the rind.
In the morning bring the rind to a
boil and simmer until tender and at
the same time cook the juice and j
sugar to a sirup.
When tho peel is very tender, put it
into tho sirup and boil until it cracks
in cold water. Lift the peels out j
carefully with a fork and lay on waxed !
paper to dry.
If the bitter principle of the rind
Is liked, it may be steeped and added
to the juice in making ico and sher
bets.

it is. The woman who runs her work
and does not let it run her Is usually
ready for the unexpected when it
comes, as come it will, when we are
least prepared for it. It is usually
tho day when we hrtve planned to have
a "picked-tip meal" that two or three
of our u ost particular friends drop in.

cakes, preserves of different kinds in
sueh variety that a quick visit to this
treasure room will result in supplies
that will inuko an appetizing and fill

This supply closet should be at on"«

Young-age pensions! Why not? Ti
tles, honors, riches, pensions and most
other good things are. as a rule, post
poned to a period of life when the ca
pacity for enjoying them has been
blunted. Australia* was one of the
first countries to adopt old-age pen
sions, and now a Labor member of the
commonwealth parliament proposes a
complementary scheme of young-age
pensions. He would start by pension
ing the fourth child at birth. The fact
that three had previously been born
showed that the parents were doing
their duty and deserving well of the
state. The young-age pension would
"reward industry and encourage the
birth rate."—London Chronicle.
