The Sacrifice Of Uncle Joe.

Down in Washington. where the coun-

Of lighting the insurgents on their own

TO seize some Of the more eloquent Of the

La Toilette and the irrepressible Bristow.
There is something very ominous in this
suggestion and we fear for the worst.
When the idea takes more definite form
we feel sure that Uncle Joo viii be the
victim selected for the sacrifice. As the
widest regular in existence he is certain
to be drafted for the leadership of the
movement. And the consequences would
be little short Of tragic. Who can imagine
more plaintive picture than Uncle Joe.

Ihe same detailed arrangements are made

down to the minute.
He tells the committee that the carriages
to meet the presidential party at the railroad
station must be numbered so he may tele-
graph back to Washington the numbers of the
equ1pages to be used by those accompanying
the President, the newspaper correspondents,
and the Secret Service men. For the return
trip to the station, similar plans are made.

templated. Wheeler goes to the structure

He finds out, and notifies Washington.
who is to introduce the President at each
speech or reception. who is to sit at his right
and left at dinner, and what time he can
count on for leisure or rest.
All this is repeated IN each city or town on
the schedule; so that Mr.. Taft speaks and
dimes and travels, not according to the de-
sire of the moment, but in compliance with
the best arrangements that could be made
for him by the combined efforts of all those
interested in making the trip a success.
Once embarked on a Journey, he has little
opportunity to amplify or lessen a program.
All this has been done for him by Wheeler
and the reception committees.
When Mr.. Taft reaches city IN his pri-
vate car and goes into the streets in a car
rage or an automobile, cheered by the people
and Steered clear OF danger by police and
detectives, the thing looks simple enough;
but it has all been planned and arranged be
forehand with the care that an artist might
put on a mosaic or painting.
The whole affair has been 50 definitely de-
signed that, before the presidential party
leaves the White House, newspaper CORE
spondents have been given typewriter
descriptions of every move to be made day
day and night throughout the trip.

be confessed, with a good deal OF salt pork,

Two BI-linouaI States

Both New Mexico and Arizona will
be bi-lingual states, as considerable
share of the inhabitants of each state
speak Spanish, and many of them only
Spanish. Louisiana was for a time a
bi-lingual state, the French tongue
competing with English for many
years, and is still used by a large
share of the population. Pennsylvania
has a considerable section where a
mixed German dialect is the language
of most of the native stock. Califor
MIA had a large share of Spanish
speaking citizens in it's early history
The English language, however, easily
dominates in all these states, and will
dominate in Arizona. In New Mexico
the Spanish language has a firm hold
and will persist, no doubt, for an in
definite period. The enabling act that
brings New Mexico and Arizona into
the Union prescribes that English
shall be taught in all the schools and
that all state officers and members Of
the state legislature shall be able to
read, speak and understand the Eng
lish language.
