Spanish Nicknames.

One of the peculiar ways in which
Spanish differs from English is in the
names the language gives to all peo-
pie with a certain infirmity or peculiar
ity. A blind man Is referred to as ell
ciego, a man with but one eye is a
tuerto, pug nosed man is chato, one
who is cross eyed is n bisojo, COLO is
a lame man, and Il nance has but one
arm. If he is humpbacked, he is a
jorobado; if baldheaded, a calvo, and
If his hair is very short he is pelon.
The feminine titles for the same classes
are the same, with the exception that
they end in "a where the masculine
terminate with 90" These short names
are used most commonly. In fact, they
are applied as nicknames in many
cases, and especially among the lower
classes persons are addressed or re-
ferred to only by these names.

Needed improvements Made
On Chemistry Build
ing at Earlham.
CLASSES ARE INCREASED.

The Perry science hall at Earlham
college has just been thoroughly re-
modelled and as it now stands is a
credit to the local institution and the
equal of any similar building in any
college in the state The remodeling
of the building is the result of the eff
forts of Prof Fl. n. Holmes and he
has been receiving many congratula-
lions.
1t was necessary to make changes
on the hall owing to the greatly in
creased number of students in the
chemistry classes. Formerly the fas-
sembly room of Dle building had forty
four desks. Last year this was ade-
quate, as there were only thirty-two
students to be provided for but at the
beginning of the present school term
1t was necessary to accommodate seY-
enty-three students. Work was in
mediately started to improve the
building and today the assembly room
can accommodate one hundred.
On the first floor the formerly unus-
ed front room has been drafted into
service and turned into a quantitative
laboratory, accommodating twelve
students. DR.. Holmes has planned to
give a semi-popular course in CONNER.
cial chemistry, which only requires
one years previous training, and this
will attract many students who are
after practical knowledge of the
subject.
A quantitative analysis room has
been provided for and it will easily

The laboratory for the first and sec.
ond year men has been remodeled
and it will now accommodate easily
one hundred students.
Throughout the building new black
boards have been placed, the desks
and wood work stained dark brown
nickle-plated water and gas fixtures
have been put in and many other i'm.
provements made.

COUNTY LOSER
BY HUN TING LAW
Although Many Licenses Are
Purchased, No Game Is
RestoCked.
SIG LICENSES THIS MONTH.
MORE HUNTERS PERMITS IS
SUED THIS MONTH THAN ANY
PRECEDING MONTH IN THE HIS
TORY OF THE COUNTY.

Up to date the county clerk has is
sued $40 hunters licenses this month.
This beats all records established in
an yone month heretofore. The Ii
cense costs 81 and the state gains all
the profit. The county clerk receives
no compensation for all the work re-
Quired in filling out the blank forms.
He even has to pay the postage for the
correspondence with state headquar-
tera and II he sends the check by reg
istered letter he has to pay the addi-
tional cost.
The law regarding the fees from
hunters licenses provides that not less
ohan one-third Of the amount received
shall be expended for restocking the
state with game. No game ever has
9een sent into Wayne county since
De law went into effect. If one-third
~ the amount collected for licenses in
the first twenty-five days of this
month were spent for game and the
game placed in Wayne county it would
mean $173 for the purpose. But other
months are to be considered, although
November is the leading month of the
year for hunters licenses.
Upon the law, hunters would have
reason to complain in this county.
They pay in the money regularly and
receive a license giving them permis-
sion to, hunt IN return. But the fund
created in this manner is supposed to
go to restore the game and Wayne
county has received no benefit. The

fact they would not change If they
had all the money in the world at their

They do not wish to encourage the

GOVERNMENT CONTROL.
Will Not Mean Weakening Of the
Rights Of the States. 4

q The opposition to government con-
troll Of these great corporations makes
its most effective effort in the shape
of an appeal to the old doctrine Of
states rights. OF course there are
many sincere men who now believe In
unrestricted indiyidualism In business,
just as there were formerly many sin
cere men who believed tn slavery
that is, In the unrestricted right OF an
individual to own another Individual
These men do not by themselves have
great weight, however. The effective
fight against adequate government
control and supervision of Individual,
and especially Of corporate, wealth en-
gagged In Interstate business is chiefly
done under cover, and especially un-
der cover of an appeal to states
rights. 1t is not at all infrequent to
read In the same speech denuncia-
ton Of predatory wealth fostered by
special privilege and defiant Of both
the public welfare and law OF the
land and denunciation Of centraliza-
ton In the central government of the
power to deal with this centralized
and organized wealth. OF course the
policy set forth In such twin denuncia-
tons amounts to absolutely nothing,
for the first half is nullifed by the
second half. The chief reason among
the many sound and compelling rea-
sons that led to the formation Of the
national government was the absolute
need that the Union and not the sew
eral states should deal with Interstate
and foreign commerce, and the power
to deal with Interstate commerce was
granted absolutely and plenarily to
the central government and was exer-
cised completely as regards the only
instruments OF interstate commerce
known In those days--the waterways,
the highroads-as well as the partner
ships of individuals who then conduct
ed all Of what business there was.
Interstate commerce Is now chiefly
conducted by railroads, and the great
corporation has supplanted the mass
OF small partnerships or individuals.
The proposal to make the national
government t5upiSlnC SStp ehSa{s saASAS

the railroads and other Instruments Of
interstate commerce Is merely pro

GREAT CORPORATIONS.
Should Be Wisely Regulated In the
Interest of the People.

It is very earnestly to be wished that
our people, through their representa-.
tiyes, should act in this matter. 1t is
hard to say whether most damage to
the country at large would come from
entire failure on the part of the public
to supervise and control the actions Of
the great corporations or from the ex-
ercise of the necessary governmental
power In way which would do injus-
tice and wrong to the corporations.
Both the preachers Of an unrestricted
indfyidualism and the preachers Of an
oppression which would deny to able
men of business the just reward Of
their initiative and business sagacity
are advocating policies that would be
fraught with the gravest harm to the
whole country To permit every law
less capitalist, every law defying cor
poration, to take any action, no mat
ter how iniquitous, In the effort to Sc
cure an improper profit and to build
up privilege would be ruinous to the
republic and would mark the abandon
ment of the effort to secure In the In
dustriai world the spirit of democratic
fair dealing. On the other hand, TO
attack these wrongs in that spirit OF
Edemagogy which can see wrong only
when committed by the man Of wealth
and is dumb and blind In the presence
Of wrong committed against men Of
property or by men Of no property Is
exactly as evil as corruptly to defend
the wrongdoing Of men OF wealth,
