Deep excavations IN nealIy al parts
of the western section Of this country
have almost always resulted in pro-
ducing some relic of antiquity in the
form of bones and tusks Of mammothS

for scientific investigation as can be

Some Popular Phrases,

Ex President Cleveland is widely
credited with originating the phrase
Public office is public trust" Two
years before his death in 1874 Charles
Sumner wrote the phrase: public off e
is public trust" which has of late be-
come common property. Dorman B.
Eaton said in 1881: The public Offices
are public trust" Calhoun said IN
1885: THE very essence of free. gov.
ernment consists in considering offices
as public trusts" Thomas Jefferson said
in 1907: when man assumes public
trust he should consider himself as
public property.
