THE AMERICAN LANGUAGE
Sir, —About American speech Professor Sewell has said a mouthful, if not done something more. I guess he's one of those real swell guys who like to knock the bunk out of things. This must be the best he's done in vears. It has made me feel good, ancl I'm certain sure all of the other men and women proud of the old Star-spangled Banner and reading his stuff will want to tell him so right now. Ob, baby, it was the goods. And ain't those boys and girls up on their college campus lucky to have him for their teacher, i calculate they'll get a sipecial yell all for himself and keep it going right along through the speeches next Commencement Day. They'll be telling us! And why shouldn't they? He's sure worth all the dough he gets, and more; the rest are not worth shucks. They ought to beat it. That's a cinch. Why don't he hit the trail for little old New York? Kvcn if ho found himself on Broadway without a bean. he'd soon be O.K. My bottom dollar on that. I'm tollin rr you. They'd want him to run for Governor, or Congress Yes, sirree. Yours for Frkk Speech.
