"kere's ,Ho!"%and "Rats!"

To the Editor Of The Journal:
In Your editorial entitled IA 'Cuss Word
Dictionary you give the origin or deriva-
1ioItsof the drinking expression Here
'11o. It seems to me more likely that
the word 'Ho" came into use by an ir-
reverent allusion to Isaiah w., 1, "Ho,
every: one that thirsteth." The original
meaning Is perverted and the word is
used as pun, just as the Indian is called
Poor Lo because Pope said, LILO, the poor
Indian"
And now, while the question Is in order,
wish you would give the derivation and
definition of the exclamation Rats"
havo tried to follow the rule not to use a
word of which I don't know the meaning
and this~i a stumbling block. E. S.
The word Rats" used as an exclama-
ton, is undoubtedly derived from its origi-
nal slang use as a designation Of non
union workmen. In this form the wore
was first used in the printers strike If
New York in 1921. Being applied to q
class Of men for whom the users of it hac
nothing but contempt, it easily came to be
used as an exclamation expressive Of dis
gust or disappointment. ST..

1T Is alleged by the Wickenbura
Ac'cS'H Her"ld that the territory OF
Arizona is annually losing in the
neighborhood Of S50,VOO, simply
because its legislatures have neg
iected to pass laws providing that
the fees receives from corporations
should go into the territorial treas
ury, where they properly belong.
AS 1t now is, the territorial secre.
ry pockets all the receipts of
his office, while a generous legisla,
ture and more generous United
States government allows him sal,
aries of 5000 and $3.50 year
respectively, besides allowing him
$1,000 "a year for clerk hire and
many thousands for incidental ex
penses. When the other record
onlces OF the territory, such as the
county recorders, were made fee
offices, the recorders were pJaced
on salary and tie fees go into
the C unity treasury, helping to pay
tne county expenses. Why should
not the highest record Office in
the territory be run on similar
plans.
