From the Greek.

Greeks call city polls" The fun
damental, or root, of the word was
pol The Aryan stock. from which
Greek and Latin descended, had a
way of emphasizing an idea by redu-
plicating; that is, by repeating the
root syllable. So probably after the
separation OF the Greek from his Ash.
attic birthplace, the old parent stock
reduplicated pol and made 'polpol"
of it, by which was meant one inhab-
liant Of the city. That reduplicated
word appears in Latin as "populus,"
meaning now all the citizens OF q
polls" The Latin went out from the
Aryan hive long after the Greeks They
carried "populus' with them, but left
polls" behind. The English descend
ant OF the Aryan stock says people"
now instead OF "populus." but almost
keeps the original In population" He
keeps polls" also, in the word poll
tics" which is easily seen By its
ctymology to be ''the science OF be-
ing q citizen"

CLARK REFUTES
CANADIAN CANARD
Old Habit of Defeat Has Been Replaced
BY New Habit of Victory,
AVerred.

Washington. d. c., Nov. 2S-Speaker
Champ Clark yesterday declared he
had devoted the last three years chiefly
to getting the house democrats togeth-
er and holding them together and that
after seventeen years of factional fight
ing the democrats are united and by
the blessings of God-wi remain so. J"
Il did not do it all, by long shot, I"
he added. Il had lots of help and
every democrat who participated in
that troublesome, laudable work de-
serves his full share of the honor.
Where there once was despaid in dem
Ioeratic hearts there is high hope now"
In this way the titular head of the
democratic lower house of congress
made indirect reply to criticisms of
former presidential candidate William
]. Bryan as to the speakership no
longer carrying the leadership of the
house. Mr.. Clark referred to the great
importance Of unity and wisdom among
the democrats to draw out voters not
belonging to the democratic party.
The most important feature of the
extraordinary session of congress from
a political standpoint" said he. was
the fact that we pulled together, work
ed together, fought together and won
together. We replaced the old habit
of defeat with the new habit of victory.
the bad fashion of quarrelling among
ourselves with the better fashion of
taking counsel together and then pre-
senting a solid front to the ashonished
enemy
"The trend of public opinion is to-
ward the democrats. President Taft's
long trip seems to have left things in
statu quo"
The speaker said he recent elections
prove that wherever the tariff was the
sole or principa Tissue, the democrats
won, and that when President Taft
vetoed the tariff bills, it was inevitable
that the tariff would be the leading is
sue next year
"One of the most prepasterous can
ards put into publice print since Gut
tenburg invented movable type" ad-
ded the speaker, "is the charge that |
am in favor of the forcible annexation
of Canada. There is not fact in the
universe on which to base such SLAM
der ! never at any time or place stat
ed or even limited such a wicked and
quixotic scheme to any human being.
I have never dreamed of such thing
and would oppose it to the utmost.
Il have frequently, for years, ex-
presse dthe hope that there might be
union of the two countries by mutual
consent and for the good of both. It
always seemed to me friendly sug-
gestion, because we are neighbors of
the same blood and speaking the same
language but as the Canadians do not
seem to want that, there is an end of
it.
What said at Fremont. Neb.. was
in response to a question from person
in the audience. said | had never
thought of anything but union of the
two countries by mutual consent. l
did not say that it is an issue or ever
would be- or that desired it to be. but
if Canada was agreeable. nine-tenths
of the people of the United States
would endorse the idea"

Chinese Traits.

The Chinese are orderly, is8abId-
ing and well-behayed; they. have q
strong sense OF right and justics--are
fair minded; they are reliable in com
mercial dealings-pay their debts and
keep their agreements, whether yer.
bal or written; they are dutiful to
parents, fond OF children and mindful
of etiquette and punctilious about re.
turning courtesies or favors; they are
respectful to elders and superiors;
they honor and respect character and
intellectual ability, and do not recog
nize an aristocracy OF wealth This
list might be largely extended. but It
is enough to show what have under
taken to show--that China has not by
any means to seek abroad all the
requisites for national greatness and
popular welfare; some Of the most i'm
portant are here already. Address to
students of st. Johns college. Shang-
hal.
