Where the Turkey Came From.

The secretary of the Turkey club Of
England says in the Feathered World
that the turkey appears to have been
bred in England for over 300 years, but
where it originated is a matter of doubt.
Many suppose il came from the east,
as its name implies; others that Mexico
was its native place. At the time Her.
nando Cortez subdued the Mexicans In
1921 the turkey was found in domes-
ticated state and very probably had
been bred there several centuries before
that time. Domestic turkeys were intro
duced into England from America in
1925, and accounts are given of their be-
ing served at banquets in 1865; a few
years later they appear to have become
sufficiently abundant TO afford the farm
err his Christmas dinner, and from that
time the turkey has held premier place
ON such festive occasions.

He That Was Born to BE Hanged.

"He that was born to be hanged will
never be drowned" is an old English
proverb which has it's equivalent in most
other modern languages. The Danes
say, ''He that is to be hanged will never
be drowned unless the water goes over
the galIows" The Italians say, HE
that is to die by The gallows may dance
on the river" and the Dutch, What be-
longs to the raven does not drown"
Shakespeare alludes to the proverb in
1.-The Tempest when he makes "GonZalo"
saw of the boatswain, Il have great
comfort from this fellow; methinks he
has no drowning mark upon him; his
cn1nnlexion is perfect gallows.'

Average Depths of Oceans.

The average depth of all the oceans,
according to figures given by Thorne. is
from 1000 to 5000 fathoms. Soundings
have been made in the Atlantic ocean,
ninety miles of the island of st. Thomas,
in the West Indies. which showed a
depth of 23.250 feet or about four and
one-half miles In 1921 the ship Chal-
lenger made a voyage around the world
for the purpose &c taking deep sea
soundings, and the results showed that
the greatest depth in the Pacific ocean
was between four and one-half and five
miles, while that of the Atlantic was

OUR OFFER To REPUBLICAN ED
TTnRS

We have at length had what might
by stretch Of courtesy be considered
an answer to our inquiry concerning the
foreign price OF protected American
manufactures. 1t comes from the
Logansport Journal For convenience
the points offered will be considered
seriatim:
1. The Journal says our offer is a
bluff" We beg to assure it that this
statement is not correct. The answers
will be submitted to the non-partisan
committee named; the prizes will be paid
as awarded; the successful answers will
be printed in The Sentinel The Jour
nails answer will be submitted with any
others presented.
2. The Journal says we assume that
the policy of protection has been mis-
applied in some instances" and ques-
tions the assumption. We assume moth
ing. We present the fact shown by the
official records of the government that

are protected. We're exported last year

port of Mr.. Willis speech) diplomacy? God
forbid. It's cheating. It's false pre- fences
It's wicked juggling, and that has been the
verdict of Abraham L:ncoln's plain people
of this country" Again later on the Maine
senator electrified his listeners with burj,
of magnificent eloquence.
sS"Think Of it, he said, ga wicked Queen
with barbarian instincts and evil purposes
blindly stumbles off her throne. A govern
ment representing progress, enterprise,
Christianity, civilization, springs into exist,
ence and is recognized by all the great pow
ers, by our minister, by Presidents II .rrison
and Cleveland, by the commissioner and
two ministers, one of them welcoming it in
to the great family of the free, while
he had in his pocket instructions
to destroy forever that government that he
was so effusively welcoming. Are we proud
of that? Think of it. A Presi len. of
$4,000, 900 people, having a minister CON-
irving and scheming assiduously, working
night and day to restore rotten monarchy,
interviewing again and again the self
dethronei Queen, listening to talk from her
20 barbarous and savage that the President
did not dare send it to Congress and to III ;
people,"
This is the kind of talk that the people
of this country have been waiting patiently
to hear. Senator Frye knows what he is
talking about, and does not hesitate to call
things by their right name. He states the
plain truth in straightforward and vigorous
manner that the people of this COUNT y
will not fail to understand, and brings home
to the consciousness Of every decent and
patriotic citizen in the land, just appre cia-
ton of the wickedness and folly of the ad-
mnistratlon's course in connection with
Hawaiian affairs.
The nation is indebted to Senator Frye
for this able speech. 1t is the utterance of
a loyal American, proud of his country and
jealous of its honor. The eloquent pres
entation of such sentiments stimulates love
of country and builds up the spirit of ma.
tional pride. The "plain people" will read
Senator Fryes great speech with interest

Senator Frye Upon the Hawaiian Question.

Senator Frye Upon the Hawaiian Question.
The people of Maine have just reason
to feel proud of the rigging speech de-
livered by Senator Frye upon The Hawaiian
question. 1t was mastery effort. In its
thorough grasp of all the facts bearing
upon the question, in its patriotic American
spirit, its unanswerable logic, and its mag
nifcent eloquence, it is 4 speech that will
take rank among very best of the many that
have been delivered upon this important
question.
Senator Frye is always logical
and forceful speaker. He is man
of strong convictions and is never
lacking in courage to defend them. A born
orator he never fails to hold the closest at
tention of all who have the pleasure of
listening to him.
Unlike the Cleveland cuckoo7, who
fastened to deferd the administration with
practically no knowledge of the question
they pretended to discuss, Senator Frye
came to its consideration With a full knowl-
edge of all the facts involved therein. Asa
member of the committee charged with its
investigation, he had listened patiently to the
volumlnous testimony submitted by people
who were able to speak from personal knowl-
e}ge of all the various phases of the Ha.
waiiin situation, both prior to, and subse-
Quent to, the revolution which resulted in
the dethrone ment of the barbarian queen
He had carefully sifted and weighed this
evidence with desire only to ascertain the
truth. Not until that committee-Demo
cratic as it was in its comple1ion-had sub
mitted report fully sustaining the course
of Minister Stevens and Captain Wiltse
did he undertake the discussion of the
matter upon the floor of the Senate
Thus equipped, he was able to make
his state ments with authority, and to pre-
sent all the facts bearing upon the suhjec
in the ir logical relations and with telling eff
| feet.
With ~ithering scorn he portrayed the du
plicity and treachery of the Cleveland admin
istra,ion in its dealings with the provisional
government. Especially did he bring out viii

The JOURNAL received yesterday from
Hon. S. w. Lane, who for years was the
city auditor and whose knowledge of such
matters is unsurpassed, statement which
shows tha. the city expenses for the past
year have been largely in ercess of the pre-
vious year. There is no ''jugglery" of fig

can be easily comprehended by all. As it
was quite lengthy we did not print it this
morning but purpose to do so tomorrow
morning. We hope that every one DESTROYS
of getting at the truth will give it careful
consideration.
