ROOSTER AND COON.
Origin ofDemocratic, WING and Re
publican Symbols Their
Political Signifi-
cation.

The Pittsburg Post Democratic,
which ought to know all about the
subject, SAYS: We have received since
the eIe ction number of inquiries as
to the origin of roost-r as a symbol OF
Democratic success at the polls, and
also of the coon as the political trade
mark of the opposition.
Away back i'm the fOrties-we be-
lieve about 1914, so the story goes
the Democratic organ in Indiana was
conducted by Bird b. Chapman, a
politician of some repnte 1t was a
season of political activity. and the
DEMOCRATS were rather respondent,
as the tide seemed against them. At
some local election preliminary to the
general election in the State. the Dem
ocrats unexpectedly scooped the Wings,
and letter from an active Democrat
communicating the views to the editor
began with the Injunction, Grow,
Chapman, crow.
Shure enough, Chapman did crow,
and using these lines as a headline
in his next DAYS issue, first introduced
the Democratic rooster as the harbin-
ger of victory. The idea was taken
one. and the symbol was quickly ac-
cepted and came into general use-at
least when the Democrats gained
something to crow over. The BOOSTERS
after election are anxiously looked
for. and their non-appeaoance has
come to tell the story of the ballot
box as we'll as their dress parade in
columns of States, as in 1874, 1875
and 1882 they are great favorites,
these ROSTERS, with the newsbOys, and
always insure them harvest of nick
els.
The coon was more of a Wing than
it is a Republican symbol, although
our friends of the Gazette have fat
and cunning one in reserve, of un-
mistakable larcenoIs propensities,
which they trot out whenever the W.
tiers give them a chance. Its last ap.
pearance was when Maine went Re.
publican in September, but October
and November ballots drove it back
to its den, very likely for along rest
and scanty rations. The coon was
one of the properties Of the log cabin
and hard cider campaigns of 1910,
when the enthusiasm OF the Wings
found vent i'm all sorts of odd con-
ceits.
1t was the fashion i'm that canvass
to construct log cabin for political
meetings, and in backwoods style a
coon skin was nailed along side of the
cabin door to be cured or driel. This
is common sight now in cocn-hun-
ting regions of the mountains of this
State. In 1910 it was supposed to
symbolic frontier life and the incidents
Of "Old Tippecanoes' pioneer DAYS
1t was marked and effective con-
trast to the gold spoons Ogie and Som
erset located in the White House as
the common adornment of Mr.. Ven
Buren's table. The coon, We judge,
was first applied by the Democrats to
the Wings as matter to commemorate
their occasional successes.

A Remarkable Find.

A Mr.. Shapiro of Jerusalem, book
seller and dealer in antiquities, has Just
deposited in the British museum fifteen
slips OF black sheepskin leather on which
are written, in characters similar to those
on the celebrated Moabite stone, portions
of the book of Deuteronomy differing
materially from the revised version.
The date of the slips is the ninth century
before Christ. or sixteen centuries older
than any authentic manuscript OF any part
of the old testament. Mr.. Shapiro bought
them from an Arab, and he asks for them
$5, 900, 900 from the British museum. The
interest and Importance of tho discovery
cannot be overated; and, so far as varia-
tions in the sacred text are concerned,
there is promise OF one of the greatest
controversies that scholars have entered
upon. The decalogue furnishes good
example for comparison with the revised
version. The London correspondent Uf
the New York Sun says he quotes from
the Shapiro record:
lam God. thy God, which liberated
thee from the land of Egypt, from the
house OF bondage. Ye shall have no
other Gods Ye shall not make your
selves any craven image nor any likeness

earth beneath, nor that is in The waters
under the earth Ye shall not bow down

lam God, your God sanctify. In six

earth and all that there is therein, and

The Providence Journal says: The late
DR.. Glenn of California had at one time
sixty thousand acres in wheat At his
death he owed million and quarter of
dollars, and it is uncertain whether his
estate is or is not solvent. But it is in the
interest of the public that individual hold
ing Of land should not reach such proper
tons; they limit population, they deter
educational institutions, they foster ex
trava9rnt notions, they cannot be as
thoroughly and variedly cultivated as the
smaller farm; that is, they will not be in
the nature of things, for they are given
over to corn, or wheat, or cattle, the crops
being tl-en off year after year withuur
much regard TO ferlilizlng. The territory
which should support in comfort thousands
is the home of only hundred or two."

The only thing Mr.. Dewey could have

would have made things better for any.
