HOW MOUNTAINS WERE NAMED
Interesting to Trace Derivation OF
the Famous Ranges Of This
Country.

Ad1rondacks: Derived from the Ca.
nienga tMohawk) Iroquois language.
In which the original form is ratiron
taks, meaning bark eaters"
Allegheny: A corruption OF the Del.
aware Indian name for Allegheny and
Ohio rivers, the meaning of the name
being lost.
Appalachian: The name was gwen
by the Spaniards under DeSoto, who
derived IT from the name OF a neigh
boring tribe, the ApaIachi. Brinton
holds Its radical to be the Muscogee
apala, great sea-" or great ocean"
and that apalache is a compound Of
this word with the Muscogee personal
participle Chi" and means those by
the sea"
Blue Ridge: So called from the hue
which frequently envelopes it's distant
SUBMITS.
Catskill: The mountains were called
katsbergs by the Dutch from the num-
Der Of wildcats found in them, and the
creek. which flows from the noun
tains. was called Katerskill, "tomcats'
creek"
Ozark: The aux arcs was said to re-
fer to the bends in White river, and
was applied to the Ozark mountains,
through which the river pursues a
wandering course-in other words, to
the mountains at the bends OF the
river

WERE RACE OF CLAY EATERS
French Savants Have Proof That Pre-
historic Parlslans Alto Earth

Date of
1912.

A French savant, DIR. Marcel Bau
douin, has discovered that Parisians
at one time were clay eaters. The
present generation, OF course. is ex-
Guided. The geophaGous Parisians
were prehistoric ones. How he dis
covered all these facts has been ex-
planned by him to the Academy of Sci
ence. The region Of Paris he says.
was Inhabited by tribes that made a
practice Of mixing clay with their food
when they had no other food they sim
ply ate the earth. Montmatre clay, 1t
seems, was particularly nutritive. The
sand In the bed Of the Seine was an
excellent digestive. Children were
nursed and brought up on both these
delicacies between the ages OF three
and seven.
Many Of these vigorous prehistoric
babies had already worn out their
teeth. 1t was this very fact that
proves that they were a geophagous
| race. The remains Of their teeth show
that they were worn and polished by
eating clay and sand, just like the
teeth OF the geophagous or earth-eat.
ing tribes of Africa and the Pacific
ocean. We know that even in our own
day clay-eaters who have desenerated
from civilization are to be found in
North and South Carolina Their teeth
present exactly the same characters.
tics as those Of the prehistoric Paris.
ians, who are. therefore. proved to
nave been fond Of vol-au-vent d'ar.

clays' adds the professor, are proved
to have excellent dietary properties,
hut he does not go so far as to recon.
mend any particular dish for present

TONAPAH PEPOLE
HELP BOOTH

That the people Of Tonopah
appreciated the efforts of the
BONANZA staff in publishing u paper
yesterday, although the entire
plant was nothing but y mass of
ruins, was demonstrated bv the
manner in which the paper was
sold during the afternoon. A
number of the more fortunate
business men started out with
huge bundles of Bonanzas upon
their arms and sold the papers
with the regular news boys.
The best record of the afternoon
was made by w. H. Johnson re-
ceiver of the Pine Creek ranch,
and Art Keenan,. Dave Young
assisted as did Mrs. James Hay
ward and Mrs. Bob Pohl. Youpg's
automobile was pressed into
service and on each side was hung
painted signs announcing:
"R sen from the Ashes. Tonopah
Daily Bonanza"
During the. afternoon johnson
and keenan, sold $3.50 worth of
papers. Mrs. Haywards sold
5000 while the sales as made by
Mrs. Pohl tntaled $3.50. At the
beginning johnson personally
purchased $50 worth of papers
and the sale as made by the five
BIO 'sters from this bunch of paper
was contributed to the Bonanza.
The efforts of the party resulted
in the sum of $l40 being added
to the Bonanza treasury. The
treasury was in the form of huge
coffee can and into this eceptacle
John carried the money derived
from the sale of tn papers.
The manner in which the people
of Tonopah responded to show
their appreciation, is but one
more example OF the spirit thai
ras long been in existence in thi.

detective who was testifying in a Lon

Mr.. Frank Lockwood was the opposing
counsel. The detective witness came
to the stand dressed in black broad
cloth, wore a gold fob and seals and
looked much more like a respectable
middle-aged solicitor than a member
Of the police force. The mans tes-
timony was likely to be damaging to
his client. 80 Mr.. Lockwood began his
cross-examination very gently and
was excessively polite.

Primary ELECTIONS.

In this state the Democratic rec
ord on the primary election question
is bad. That party has avoided prl-
mary Elections all it possibly could.
ON the other hand the Republican
party has beer holding primary cleo
tions many years and it was the first
and only party to hold statewide
primary. Public sentiment has at
last forced the Democratic party to
make a kind of declaration on the
subject. That declaration is as fol-
lows in that party's state platform:
1--WE favor the enactment of a pri-
mary election law. the expenses to
be paid by the state, and all officers
to be named by all parties at the
same time. " 80 ~"
This declaration was made after
the Republican party in state conven-
ton had declared itself much more
forcibly as follows:
I'VE favor the enactment of a
primary election law whereby all
nominations for public offices, in
Guiding the office of United States
senator. and whereby the members
of the state and county political
party committees shall be chosen,
This election shall be held on the
same day throughout the state, and
ALI political parties should be held
to make their nominations in that
way"
The Republican plank leaves the
party machinery in the hands of the
people. The Democpatic~plank says
nothing about that and It is evident
the state machine purposes to keep
its2grip on the party.
The Democratic plank indicates
that the Democratic party is merely
trailing and it shows that it does not
like the pathway.
The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1912-09-19


The Republican platform contains
the following:
I'VE declare that we favor just
and generous legislation in the in
terest offail workingmen. - We
believe that the worklngman has the
right tofunite for the purpose of con
sidering. and promoting his welfare.
and of using such measure OF prac-
tice and legislation as will assure
to him benefit; ~ we heartily ia
'yor the e9actmetit in West Virginia
Of thoroughly modern working
mans compensation law. 80 We
do not favor these laws in any spirit
of hostility to employers of labor or
to- capital. - : Ifthe constitution
Of the state will not permit OF the
enactment of such laws, then we IA
vor its amendment"
It ought not to take labor long to
appreciate the fair and frank posi-
ton taken by the Republican party
on this question and no workingman
can get any encouragement out of
the bare declaration made by the
Democratic party on the subject.
The Republican position is strong.
The Democratic attitude is weak.

why for Free Trade?

Occasionally a manufacturer de-
clares for free trade, and is lauded
to the skies as a broad-minded lib
eral person who has burst the letters
of the tariff system. Look closely
at free trade manufacturers.
A great deal of advertising was
once given to Philadelphia manu-
facturer who. came out in praise of
Cleveland's tariff message. 1t sub
sequently leaked out that he was
the owner of an English factory
much larger than his Philadelphia
factory. The compliments showered
on William L. Scott for casting away
protection prejudfces were like a
rain or roses; nevertheless Scott sold
out his Pennsylvania interests first,
invested in Canadian plants second,
and declared for revenue tariff
third. One of the best low tariff
speeches ever made was by a manu-
facturer who said: 81 want nc
duties on my products" when a man
rose to ask him how many inter-
national patent rights he carried.
Here and there some manufac-
turer who has private axe to grind
cries out against the tariff which
permits others TO live. A little in
vestigation, may be in order.
Many thick pamphlet and many

trade lies on dusty shelves, but the

death, Australian colonies, guarding
their home industries, have risen to

tered tiny plants until they have de-
veloped into large ones; Russia is
dotted with factories; Germany is
daily pressing closer to England in
her rivalry; Spain is showing an ac-
tivity undreamed of in Napoleon's
time. Nation after nation guards
herself against free trade lest she
be ground to powder. Does this
