NrR. RoosEvELT.s InIlA

How far President Roosevelt will be
impressed with the clamor of the Ad-
dicks press for the sacred right OF ma
jority rule may be surmised from an
extract from Mr.. Roosevelts book,
"The Life of Thomas II. Benton. The
doctrine as preached by a seryile press
today had its origin in the brain of c..
r. Layton, and about the time he was
engaged in promulgating his deceptive
doctrine. Mr.. Roosevelt. then a man Of
letters. was unconsoiously engaged in
demolishing it, Dr. Layton should pre-
sent his theories to the President; he
would meet one who long since took oc-
casion to explode their fallacies. In
the work we allude to, Mr. Roosevelt
says:
In truth Benton became foolish and
illogical when he began to talk of the
bundle of vague distractions which he
knew collectively as the democratic
principles Although not so bad as
many OF his school, he had yet gradu-
ally worked himself up to a belief that

From an Indian grave Mr.. Wiggles-
worth took a fish scaler of mussel
shell and sharpened bones which were
used as avis in sewing hides. They
are curious things and are considered
the rarest Of the collection
Among the relics found on Delaware
soil are axes. arrow heads, spear heads
and celts. The last named is a weapon
shaped not unlike a wedge such as is
used by wood-splitters while making
up big logs. They evidently were left
here by the Delaware and Leni Lenape
tribes OF Indians. He declares that he
has about a ton of such stuff.
His Indian stone pipes are numerous.
They consist of soapstone. sandstone.
catlin and pottery.
Mr.. Wigglesworth has paid consider
able attention to the former baunts
of the cliff dwellers and his specimens
of pottery show undoubtedly that the
Aztecs were wonderfully skillful in
the manufacture of this ware. He has
spent many months in Arizona hunt
ing the little and big trinkets left by
the cliff dwelers.
On one occasion Mr.. Wigglesworth
found the perfect skeleton of an Indian
in stone grave, which also contained
an arrow point that caused the persons
death. In another grave he found ear
rings, one lying on each side of a skull.
Eight feet below the surface of a
cornfield, which the party crossed, an
Indian village was found Here and
there were charred Goals indicating

He returned from "a successful trip

VII MING TONIAN HAS VALUABLE
COLLECTION OF INDIAN RELICS

After delving into mother earth for
about twelve years. Joseph Wiggles-
worth. Of this city, has obtained a col
lection Of relics which doubtless have
been concealed by nature for more than
n thousand years. Mr.. Wigglesworth
has gone deep into the stone graves,
big mounds and cliffs of prehistoric
times. and not only has he improved
his own collection OF valuable and
interesting curios but has lined many
cases and shelves in the famous mu-
scum Of the Ohio Historical Society az
well.
In the interests of this society Mr..
Wigglesworth takes annual trips in
Ohio, Kentucky and Arkansas, and has
obtained thousands of rare specimens
from the places where they were con-
cealed while centuries have rolled by.
He has by far the best collection of
Indian relics that is to be seen in the
State, and to it, he added very matte
rally recently by purchasing the fine
collection of the late DR.. Cardeza.
In Serpent Mound, Adams county.
Arkansas, Mr. Wigglesworth has pur-
sued his searches for the articles
buried by the mound builders. Tho
mound is shaped like serpent and
is 2G0 feet long. Its mouth is open
as in the act of swallowing an egg.
1t was at this place that Mr. Wiggles-
worth opened a conical shaped mound
ten feet high and eighty feet at the
base and took out eleven skeletons
and stone and copper axes.
Among the relies in the case in Mr..
Wigglesworth's private, museum are
arrow heads. stone pipes. amulets for
keeping tally of scalps taken; pieces
Of old but perfect pottery, such as
urns. cups and bowls. One shelf is
devoted to the display Of Indian axes,
ranging in weight from three ounces
to fifteen pounds. the latter one having
been used as "a ceremonial weapon by
the Indians when they were in council
