It Is a good rule tor soldiers and sailors, sail-ors, says tho Washington Star. Even politicians, whoso business It Is to talk and who should study words In nil of tholr power both to enlighten and to Confuse, often trip and And It necessary to lssuo n supplement carrying car-rying a key to tho flrst edition. In ihla dav. of bannucts and addresses. when overybedy Is drafted and few smilingly decline, tho plea of misquotation misquo-tation is often mado. Hut the fact remains re-mains that tho dlfllculty Is moro frequently fre-quently with tho speaker than with the icporter. Tho latter, as a rule, is practlcod in his duty, nnd has no ends to servo but those of accuracy, xvhlle the unpractlced speaker Is llablo to say unintended things and regret In tended things after thoy have been said. Cold typo Is tho greatest of eye-openers. |
