Our genial competitor (?) on Peoria Street seems to have one policy, and one policy only--to enrich the Norwegian and the English languages.

In English, for an example we see such words as "fire machine" for our very ordinary fire department. City Mechanic indicates a machinist employed by the city. Now Sir John [John Anderson] begins an interesting editorial with the expression live cattle instead of livestock. This Peoria Street English and Norwegian, we are sure, will enrich the languages tremendously.

Why, oh why, is it that Skandinaven thus gets away with murder? If Scandia or any other paper made the same mistakes--my God, what would happen?
