HOW ABOUT THIS?

J B. Johnston was over at Forest
City Friday and had the pleasure of
attending a fine booster meeting.
Among the speakers was Ex-senator
LATE Young, who gave splendid
talk on the progress and develop
ment of Iowa. On his way home
the next morning Mr.. Johnston had
a pleasant chat with Senator Young
over the political situation and says
that LATE said that he was afraid
the party might nominate Taft for
president, but they can't elect him. ;"
It was evident to Mr.. Johnston that
LATE Young was no standpatter, or
else he was making it appear so to
further his interests In the cam
paign against Kenyon for the sena-
torship, over which there is no
doubt Mr.. Young is preparing to
make a desperate f1ght.-Algona
Upper Des Moines Republican.
Can 1t be possible that Col. Young
has come to the conclusion that 1t
will help his senatorial candidacy
to rcpudiate the president? That
is the only explanation OF his obser-
walton that the president cannot be
reelected IL re-nominated. OF
course the colonel would not hesi-
tate to throw down Taft or anybody
else who stood in the way OF his per-
sonal ambition, but that he should
think such a proceeding advisable is
surprising.

gave him 275.o0o. Isn't it about
time for the republicans of Iowa,
and of every other northern state.
to protest against this outrage and
to protest in manner that will be
effective? Talk about the square
deal. The republican party hasn't
got the spunk to enforce it even
within its own organization.

And now they are saying that the
Iowa delegation "put up a job. !"
That it was planned, "for effect. !"
that there should be tie in the
vote upon the proposition to dispose
of the question of federal patronage
It beats all what interest attaches
to patronage" yet not one man in
a thousand cares anything about 1t,
further than the effect upon the ser
vice. The people want honest and
capable officials and they are becom-
ing more insistent upon that with
each recurring year. Better keep
a good man in Office forty years, and
then some, than to turn him out to
give place to bad man.

Capital punishment in California
has proven a blessing. barrow
would never have advised the Nc
Namaras to plead guilty except to
save their necks. He has said so.
Had he known that only life senten-
ces could be imposed upon the mons
tiers he would have fought to the
end to establish their innocence in
the minds of the jury and the pub
lie, though knowing himself they
were guilty. This conclusion Is not
only justified by Darrow's own state
ment, but 1t is forced. Murderers
Of the type of the McNamaras have
been made martyrs Of in the past.
Organized labor has held them up
as examples Of men who were be-
ing prosecuted for principle, and
whenever they were in a crowd OF
labor union men they were made to
feel their Importance and their SUP
posed superiority. Moreover, they
believed that IL arrested for crimes
the best lawyers in the country
would be at their command and or
ganized labor would supply a purse
OF suflcient magnitude to defeat the
ends OF justice. It is therefore we'll
that capital punishment remain up
ON the statute books. It may in
duce other scoundrels like the Nc
Namaras to plead guilty upon the
advice OF lawyer like barrow. It
will not be so easy hereafter for
men of the Mcnamara and barrow
type to Impose upon honest labor.
Iowa republicans may think thcy
amount to something, and they do
in certain directions. but when it
comes to the nomination Of candi-
dat for president of the United
States they cut little figure when
compared with one of the lordly re-
publicans of Mississippi, Louisiana,
South Carolina, Texas and other
southern states. It takes from six
to eight iowa republicans to offset
one southern republican in a nation

Oregon Indians Speak Num-
Der of Languages.

Portland, Ore. Feb. 2O.-Remarka-
thropology by Prof. Leo J. Frachten-
burg, of the Smithsonian Institute at
Washington, who is engaged in study
of the languages of the Indian tribes
of the Pacific Northwest. He found
that, contrary to the scientists max
ing researches among the Coast In
dians. the lower Umpqua and Siusiaw
tribes of Oregon possess languages en-
tirely different from any other of the
tribes and not dialects, as has always
been thought.
The Siuslow and Umpqua. tongues
are radically different from those of
the other tribes, in fact. there are only
IL languages on the globe, it is said,
that have similar form of express
sion. In speaking of the same action,
the male and female use different
words. thus creating practically two
different languages. The division
made is based upon animate and in
animate objects. The male Indian
classes himself as animate and places
the female of the tribe as inanimate,
no doubt because he considers her an
inferior being.
1T was supposed that the Lower
Umpqua and Siusiaw forms of speech
were mere dialects of the Yaquina
tongue said Prof Frachtenberg,
"but this suppositiop has proved not
to be in accord with the facts as
discovered them. find that these
two languages form new linguistic
group, which bears no relation to the
Alsea. Upon learning the certainty of
this fact. l telegraphed to Washing
ton and was directed to proceed i'm
mediately with the work of investi-.
eating these languages further.
There is but one woman who can
still talk the language. She is almost
80 years old and is rapidly passing in
to stage of second childhood. She
is one of the lower Umpquas. Her
husband is an Alsea and they speak
different languages, but they under.
stand each other. Through them,
hope to tabuiate their vocabulary and
preserve this language, now becoming
, extinct. This will be work OF
months. My chief interest lies in
| finding other members of the tribe
and if can find them l shall have ad
ded considerable to the anthropologi
cal history of the Indian.
