REVOLT IN PENNSYLVANIA The
Keystone State is in open revolt, and
move has started 10 tho western part
for division, the twenty.three coun-
ties west of the crest OF the Allegheny
mountains to be known as the State
OF Allegheny. The dissension is over
the way Philadelphia has been able to
influence legislation in both Congress
and the State Legislature to advance
the interests Of that part of the State.
Now the Pittsburg Leader, which
speaks for the western bosses, advocates
in q three.column article, . division of
the State by the mountain range after
which the new State shall be named.
Attention il called to the prophetic
words of Abraham Lincoln, who once
referred to that section as /" The State
OF Allegheny" meaning at that time,
probably, the county of Allegheny,
where Pittsburg is situated, as we'll %

Sized Up Very Sensibly.

The Yakima Democrat, in comment
ing upon the Port Townsend water
bond proposition, says of the Board Of
State Land Commissioners:
"They have no right under the consti-
tuition to subject quarter of million
dollars of the State School fund to any
such risk. That they are willing to do
so is sufficient evidence OF their unfitness
to hold the high positions of trust that
they occupy. Their only defense ap-
pears to be that they were advised to
buy the bonds by Atkinson, the legal
and political misfit who happens to be
at this time the Attorney General of the
State. a position for which the man has
no qualifications whatever"
In alluding to the Governors posi-
ton, the Democrat says:
"The Governor in opposing the pur.
chase seems to have good case. The
only thing that detracts from his position
in this matter is the fact that he has the
support of Lord, the Olympia banker,
who hates any suggestion of taking the
State funds out of his own control, as
that means q loss of interest for him.
Lord. by the way. is political quantity
in State affairs who will be reckoned
with in the future"

FRIENDSHIP.
IL Imposes Serious Duties Upon
Those who Court IL.

Those who Court IL.
"When acquaintanceshlp ripens into
friendship, something serious has come
into ones life" writes Mrs. Henry
Graham in the Onlooker. 81 don't think
that any one can or ought to afford to
have more than II or two really lntl-
mate friends. If love has gone with
friendship-that is, If the gates Of
paradise have been opened to you, and
the guardian angel has sheathed his
flaming sword and admitted you
through the portals-then you must
have given everything, and you have
very little left to give. A man can
have a man friend and q woman a
woman, because there are places where
men meet men and women meet wo-
men alone, neutral ground where the
other sex cannot enter because of its
limitations, and there real friendship
may live and thrive on the crumbs
which fall from the rich mans table.
"For friendship implies something Sc
rious. You must give of yourself, your
real self, and once given it cannot be
taken back One has no right to give
up a friendship unless the other per-
son agrees or unless it has become an
absolute imposslbility, and even then
all the obligations of it may survive,
while the delights of it die"

why They are Dotted aud How the

The dot over the 81" originated in an
accent which was put over the letter
when doubled or placed next q 'u," a
practice traced back to the eleventh
century. In the twelfth century the
accent occurs in the combination Of
't' With other letters, and in the four
teenth century the accent was changed
to a dot-hrst instance in MSS. 1927
which became universal when printing

Originally 81" and Is" were modified
forms of the same letter. In the if
teenth century the "T' at the beginning
of q word was heightened and Orna-
mentally turned to the left, while in
the middle of Il word 1t was unaltered.
Both forms were dotted, and after the
initial "p became - n separate let
ter and a c%onsonant, 1t still retained
its dot. This is limited usually TO the

also over the capital letter.-London
