Growing UP

There's something the matter
with the child that fails to grow
up. A child that grows up too
much, however, without proper
filling out of flesh, is almost as
badly off. Nothing will help these

We took occasion the other day to

must be relieved by stalking some
money on the result We. confess to
a sense of disappointment to see at

easy enough to laugh at fellow on

There are so many elements of un-

SO many in particular, in this campaign,
that reasoning about the result can
only be of the most general descrip-
ton. What effect will Roosevelt's per-
votes? That it has repealed Republi-
cans in the East there can hardly be
a doubt, but what view will the West
take of him? Now the West and espe-
cially the central west is sure to be
the most warmly contested part of the
field. How many Gold Democrats
abandoned the party in 1896? How
many have returned? We feel less un-
certainty about these than the million
of voters who cast their first votes in
1896 or have come into the right to
vote since then. Where has habit
placed them? Are they there from
conviction as we'll as force of habit?

The broad features of the situation
undoubtedly favor the Democrats. in
asmuch as they plainly have a growing
candidate and a growing cause.
Necessarily and very simply true
1t is that these must both make
a stronger and stronger appeal TO
overcome the majorities of 1900 and
1902. Can any one doubt that the
Democratic ticket is stronger today
than on the day 1t was nominated? We
shall know still more of its fortunes as
the campaign progresses. But lining

1t Is remarkable that while all

fact, the trot Is push of the hind

IeoRRoTEs AND INDIANS.

Some days ago the newspapers had a
short special from Indian Territory.
part of which was published in The
Advertiser. which attracted less atten-
ton than should have been given 1t.
1t was an account of a conversation in
the Creek Indian language between
Mrs. Edward c. Merrick. officiai inter-
prefer. and an Igorrote chief. This
paragraph is interesting:
She talked to the Igorrote about an
hour. He could not understand a
word of English. but could carry on a
conversation in Creek readily enough.
that he failed to understand. The
Igorrote was much surprised when she
told him that 1t was the language of
the Creek Indians. This discovery
seems to indicate that the East Indians
and the North American Indians must
have been of common blood.
As we have seen no authoritative de-
NAL of the incident we take It for
granted that 1t is true. and we repeat
that 1t has attracted less attention than
should have been given 1t. for 1t adds
to the wide spread interest in the
origin Of the American Indians. and
will give the ethnologists something
to think about.
1t Is true that a belief in the affinity
between the Indians of this continent
and the natives Of Eastern Asia is not
a new one. More than sixty years ago
Mr.. John Mcintosh published his
Origin of the North American In
dian" which is now out of print.
Though somewhat crudely written. and
though some of his deductions and con-
illusions are apparently untenable. there
is a wonderful amount of interesting
matter in 1t, and some exceedingly
plausible arguments to support his be-
lief in the theory he advances. Among
other evidences given in his book he
appends a list of words in common use
among the various Indian tribes of
North America, and compares them
with words of the same meaning used
by the Tartars, Kamschadales, Tongu-
sans and various other Inhabitants of
Eastern Siberia and other portions of
Asia opposite the Northwestern portion
OF North America. Inere Is Sucn
striking similarity in the languages of
the people of the two continents that
we are almost forced to the conclusion
that they are of common origin or that
they have at some period had intimate
communication with each other.
Now, II Mr.. McIntosh's conclusions
are we'll founded why may we not also
assume that some, at least of the
Philippine Islanders are also remotely
allied to our Indians? The Philippines
are farther south, 1t is true. than are
the natives mentioned by Mcintosh. but
that is no argument against the claim
that there is some affinity between
them. If our Indians originally came
from Eastern or Northeastern Asia the
| Igorrotes may have had the same
origin and thus the relationship would
| be established. At all events, the in
| cident related is an interesting one
and may be of Importance to ethnolo-
| tat

A few days ago The Advertiser had
occasion to indulge in some rather
sarcastic comments which prevail in
Delaware, wherein We noted that to
steal a watermelon is no crime in that
State. Since then we find in Phila-
delphia paper an opinion from law
yer which explains things. after a
fashion. He says:
Suppose you were to go into water
melon patch and cut a melon from a
away. You would not be subject to
larceny under the common law. But
IL YOU should become frightened after
seyering the melon from the vine and
should lay it on the ground and return
later and carry 1t away, then you could
be arraigned for larceny. The fact
that you do not remove the property by
a continuous operation changes the
property from realty, not subject to
larceny, to personal property, which
can be stolen.
1t appears to us that this muddles
the business some more. We are not
up in all the intricacies of the law,
but II it is no crime TO steal the thing
In the first place why does laying 1t
down and taking it up again change
a harmless act to a criminal one?
Evidently when a fellow takes a water
melon from the vine in that State he
mustn't let 1t touch the ground till no
gets on the owners land
