"A remarkable fact is that many slang
words have classical origin" said the

pawnbroker, is derived from the Latin

to be drained 1t was the custom to shout
'garaus' right ouD, and from this sprans
our word 'carOuse.'
Some other words in common use. bu.
which do not come under the category of
slang. also had interesting origins. Take
the word sincere. The >ancients used to

of the word sincere in this sense to a

The republic of France did not
crumble to dust under the touch of
monarchy in the so-called crisis, nor
was Queen Victoria's life assailed on
venturing upon French soil. On the
contrary, the republic seems stronger
than ever, and the Queen has been re-
ceived with a noted outburst of hos
pitable courtesy. 1t is evident that
wild talk has not always power to in

Stamp Tax Decisions.

Since the stamp tax went into effect
the government has had to modify its
processes but little, and wherever the
law has come into conflict with what
are commonly termed state rights, the
national government has yielded. we
believe. no point of any value. The
difficulty of securing any such deci-
sion. unless the distinction were a clear
one. is thus indicated by a Washington
correspondents:
THE recent decision of local judge
that the stamp tax on liquor license
issued to a dramseller under a state
law is wild, because an intrusion of
the Federal government upon the do
mestic sovereignty of the state, falls
within the same category with a large
number of signs of popular resistance
to the stamp tax in various parts of the
country: but it will not influence the
policy or conduct of the treasury
, authorities. In all such cases they
have followed one course-the offender
has been prosecuted in the United
States courts. If, rather than undergo
prosecution, he pays the tax under pro-
test and sues the collector for it's re-
covery, he is obliged to go into the
United States courts to do this, be-
cause the United States government is
incidentally a party to the suit. The
decisions rendered in such cases from
the Federal bench have upheld the
treasury authorities. on their plea that
they were not Interfering with state
laws, but merely collecting tax laid
upon individual citizens of the United
States, which they had a perfect right
to do.
THE cases arising under this ques-
tion of the Federal taxing authority
have taken all sorts of forms. Ths
bonds of the state treasurers in Texas
and North Carolina have been held by
the treasury to be subject to the so
cent stamp tax. but this ruling has
been contested in the states concerned
The treasury has insisted that until the
bond of an appointee to office is filed
he has not qualified and therefore is
not an officer and that the stamp tan
is levied upon a paper executed by
him as a citizen and not as an agent
of the state. Another group of cases
has arisen in Cincinnati, where tbs
OouuS VI llotdTleS were W tiIe
collector to be stamped, and the same
arguments have been presented or
both sides. One of the first cases
possibly the first--which arose on this
general point was in the District OF
Columbia, where u citizen who was
searching the title to piece of rea
estate called upon the district commits
sioners for certificate that no bach
taxes were outstanding against The
property. A test was made by his re-
fusal to aflix Stamp to the document
or to pay the clerk in the commission
ers' office for putting one on TIL,
court held that the treasury was justi
fled in insisting that it was collecting ;
tax of a citizen of the United State
and not of the district government
Other cases have come up where state
issue certificates authorizing tn
agents and sub-agents of insuranc
companies to do business within thei
borders; here the treasury maintain
that 1t is collecting the tax of tn
agents and not OF the state insuranc
department. Experience has laugh
