For generations we have boasted of our love of liberty. We have called our country “the land of the free and the home of the brave.” It has been proved in other wars that this was not a mere empty boast by our fathers and our foretfathers. But the question of how much is liberty worth to this generation has not yet been fully answered. It is going to be answered nobly by those who serve under the cobrs. Many of them will answer with their death. It is going to be answered and answered clearly by others who serve their country as best they may. It is going to be answered by others still who, unable to render personal service, have yet furnished their Government the means to prosecute the war. The number of subscribers to the Liberty Loan Bonds is going to be an index of the love of liberty of the American citizenry of today. The list of Liberty Loan Bond holders is going to be a directory of the patriots of America. . 'W e have conscripted our young men. Shall w’e be more tender with our dollars?”—Secretary McAdoo.

A MERICAN slang has been officially recognized by so eminent an authority as Dr. Hanorf, of the University of Copenhagen, and he couples his approval with the prophecy that the American slang of today will be the classic English of the future. With many thanks to the distinguished professor, it will be odd to be able to look into a dictionar}'- for. the meaning of an expression like “Oh you kid,” which, in general, is our opinion of no expression at all. A good many phrases, however, which have been coined at times ef white heat, are so decidedly apropos that they must be accepted as good Americanisms. \\’’ords like “boob” are not particularly classic as to sound, but they seem to fit exactly the sound to the sense, and their immediate acceptance is a ‘sign of popular favor which is bound to carry weight, so far as having a definite place in the vocabulary is concerned. The English language now numbers some 400,000 words. This is a great advance since-Shakespeare’s time, yet it must be regarded as inadequate to the needs of a growing people. New words, apt ex pressions, must continually be coined to meet the advancing needs of science in its various departments. Yielding naturally to the demands of the times, the Progressive party has done its share toward supplying, a need of slang phrases, kind the time seems to be not far distant when “corking” will be the accepted word for expressing an enjoyable time, when to “slug ’em over the ropes” will properly express success, when “liar” will be the :ommon term to show that you do not agree with another, w’hen to fcxpress the fact that one is going somewhere we will be saying “my bat is in the ring,” and when to find just what is the proper term in which to express all sorts and kinds of emotions, reference will be made to the political speeches of the “trust buster,” who never “busted” Those who wish to retain speech in its pristine purity are not imbued with the spirit of the times. “Neologisms,” as they call newly- coined words, are bound to come and will be sure to stay when sanc tioned by the principles of natural selection which prevail in language as -well as in the sciences.
