THE words of the English language
are a compound OF several languages.
The language may be looked upon as
complication, both in words and sx-
preston of various dialects. The origin
is from the Saxon language. Our law
terms are derived from the Nor
man, our military terms from the
French, our scientific terms from the
Greek, and our stock Of nouns from the
Latin, through the medium of the
French. Nearly all English verbs are
German, and nearly every noun or ad.
jective is taken from other dialects.
The English language Is composed Of
1878 wOrds-of which 6732 are from
the Latin, 1912 from the French, 1865
from the Saxon, 1869 from the Greek,
69l from the Dutch, 2l1 from Italian, 106
from the German mot including verbs),
80 from the Welsh, rs from Danish, So
from the Spanish, so from the Icelandic,
81 from the Swedish, 81 from the Gothic,
l6 from the Hebrew, is from the Teu-
tonic, and the remainder from other
languages.

Chief-Justice James Thompson, of the

Pennsylvania supreme court, fell dead in the
supreme courtroom yesterday morning. The
deceased was argEing before the supreme
court In a case of tax-titleS. He had spoken
but about five minutes. An opposing lawyer
had said that ] Judge Elweu was better Judge
ON tax-titles than he. Here he made the re-
mark that il was amusing that the opposite
counsel should remark this, and then went on
to refer 10 the fact that that decision was not
made by himself. Judge Thompson was going
on with his argument, and was leaning over
the table, when he dropped down, and In i've
minutes ceased to live. The court immedi-
ately adjourned.

This news occasioned much excitement
among the KiowaS. Lone Wolf showed his
grief by cutting himself frightfully with a

LITERARY NOTICES.

The February number of the POPULAR SCIENCE
MONTHLY is very readable and interesting, and
has commendable amount of original matter
Professor Young, of Dartmouth, has an attrac.
tive and weli-written paper on "The Chrome
sphere and Solar Prominences'---the revelation
of whose constitution is among the most as
founding achievements of spectroscopy. The
article is illustrated with numerous fine cuts.
Herbert Spencer has a second instalment of his
Replies to Criticisms" which, though keen
are not of as much popular interest as the
original papers. Rev. Samuel Lockwood
gives readable geological article on "The
Great Cemetery in Colorado, 81 and there
are others on Corundum, "-the mineral
which is Just now attracting attention from its
exceeding har1ness-and ''The Spang Collection

FOCAL ssr.r-GoyERNMENr.

The Washington Daily Critic endorses
our position on the election of school
trustees by the people, as follows:
''The Legislature of Virginia is to be
called upon at the present session to de-
eide whether trustees of public schools
shall be elected by the people in the vari-
aus school districts, or appointed by a
board Of education sitting at Richmond.
That magnificent old Democrat, Thomas
Jefferson, who held that one of mankind's
worst troubles was that of being too much
governed, could hardly have foreseen that
a question like this would ever arise in
The state ia which he strove so hard TO sow
lie seeds of Democratic principles. We
observe that THE STATE JOURNAL un-
hesltatingly declares for the election Of
school trustees by the people, and peril
nently asks. "Why are not the people of
each neighborhood better qualified than
any one living elsewhere to tell who among
them should have charge Of their schools?''
IL does not at all surprise us that The
JOURNAL takes this sound position, since
It's editor, Colonel Daniels, although Re-
publican in politics, is as thorough DEM
ocrat as Jefferson himself.
'Ffbis question OF the election Of
school trustees is even mere important
for the principle it involves than for its
immediate bearing on the efficiency of
the schools One of the most important
pats Of the education of an American
citizen is his education in the practice of
self-goyernment, and this education can
only become general in communities
which manage their own local affairs.
The germs OF American Democracy were
planted in the town governments Of New |
England, organized long before tho Revo.
luton, in which men were not only bred |
to the love of self-government, but |
trained to it's duties, and to the citizens |
habit of looking upon public affairs as O
part Of his private business. Ii is
thus that such talent for statesman-
snip as a nation possesses among her sons
may be discovered, cultivated, and drawn

The coupon brokers have evidently
made large sales, as is shown by the condi-
ton of the state treasury. Our predictions
are being fulfilled, that the treasury would
fill up with coupons to the exclusion of
money, unless the taxes were largely in
creased. We may as well look this matter
in the face at once, for ugly as the fact is,
there can be no escape from the conclusion
that the taxes of the state must be at once
increased to meet her assumed obligations
and her current expenses. The auditor
now reports amount of taxes received
since October l, 1873, 1927, 721.O2, of
which amount s427 500 was paid in cou-
pons and s445, 212 in currency.
