DATES FROM THE ROMAN ERA
World Conquers Had What Corre.
sponded to Daily Newspaper-The
First English Publication

The first daily newspaper in Eng.
lish appeared in London March H..
1902, 210 years ago.
News letters and pamphlets printed
from time to time when news or poll
tics warranted had been common
enough during the latter half of the
preceding century, but these were in
no sense newspapers.
The first daily" was called The
Daily Courant, and was published by
e. Mallet, against the Ditch at Fleet
bridge"-close by the site of the pres
ent London Times office. The paper
was only single sheet of two col
umns. 1t professed to give only for
eign news with the name of the for
eign source.
So keen was the publisher to steer
clear of any responsibility for his
news, and to hide himself and his
views In the background, that he says
in his first issue in so many words he
"supposing other people to have sense
enough to make reflections for them
selves"
The Daily Courant. which lasted
until 1875, may be said to be the first
daily newspaper in anything like the
modern sense. Yet the Romans had a
publication called Daily Happenings
(Acta Diurna) which noted the move
ments of the armies and elections,
games, sacrifices or wonders Of the
town. These were written out by
special officers, deposited in the state
archives, and copies posted about the
city. A few circulated privately. A
Roman satirist describes a lady look
ing over the news in the morning.

INDIAN BUSTS
FOR THE MUSEUM
OFFICIALS SEEK TO OBTAIN TYP.
lCAL MASKS AND BUSTS OF
CHARACTERISTIC TRIBES.
(By Winfield Jones.)

Washington, Aug. 26-Realizing
that the type OF American Indian
known to the pioneer settlers OF
America is fast disappearing, Off
cials of the National Museum are
making every effort to have typical
masks and busts of the most charac-
terlstic tribes made and placed in
the museum before the Indian has
entirely disappeared
Frank Micka, a well known New
York sculptor, IS now in Nebraska
studying the Indians, particularly the
Omalas and Winnebagoes, as these
are supposed to be the purest strains
nov in existence.
His experience for the past month
while he has been studying them
has upheld the opinion of the muse
um authorities, for he says:
When come to work on the chii-
dren | realize that the government
had not begun an instant before it
was necessary if the true Indian
type is to be preserved. The children
are diseased almost beyond belief OF
200 children / have examined, only
two were good models. Practically
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1912-08-27

all the others wore suffering from dis
ease
Mr. Micka is taking especial care
that he studies only the pure indian.
There are plenty of busts and masks
already in the museum of those Of
mixed blood. What is now wanted is
the absolutely pure type, and they
are very rare. OF course, the older
as a rule are purer than the younger
generation and Mr.. Micka is there
fore dcyoting most of his attention
20 older Indians whenever he can find
them free from disease.
The greatest trouble nave" he
says, is the superstition of the In.
dians, especially the women, They
seem to think if a likeness is made
of them it means death. So they will
not pose for me without great per-
suasion and pay
Mr.. Micka is working jointly for
the government and the San Diego
exposition. He will complete many
casts by the time of opening OF the
exposition, and will bring them to
Washington for criticism by the gov
ernment experts. Then he will eth
er duplicate the casts or will make
arrangements to have the San Diego
authorities turn the original over to
the National Museum at the close of
the exposition.
In a few more generations the In =
dian race will be practically extinct,
says Mr., Micka, "or at least the dis
tinCtive characteristics of their fore
fathers will have disappeared. Most
OF the pcesent-day Indians bear the
marks OF civilization on their faces.
The white mans way is removing the
lines worn by the old Indian method
of life"
Mr.. Micka will, before he returns
to Washington. make thorough stud
les of the Sioux, Omahas, Winne5a-
goes, Apaches, Navajoes, and to 9TH
er types. He is enthusiastic over
his prospects, and the museum auth
critics believe he will make a great
contribution to the history of the
country when his work is Finished.

Exhaustive Soda Water,

The highest price ever paid for a
nottle of soda water was given in
London recently when one that was
relic from the wreck Of the Royal
George was auctioned of and brought
s134. The Royal George went down
in 1882, which made the soda water
120 years old. Two-thirds of the
liquid remained in the battle, the in
side of which was discolored and
thickly incrusted with sea salt The
bottle was of the same shape as
those used for aerated water at the
present time, but the glass was of a
deeper green and slightly heavier.
Soda water was invented in 1767, and
the relic was bought by soda wa
ter manufacturer for advertising pur-
poses.

W|CKERSHAM FOR
COL0RED AID
WILL FIGHT FOR RETENTION OF
HIS ASSISTANT, LEWIS, A NE
GRO, IN ASSOCIATION.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 27.-The
thirty annual meeting of the
American Bar Association opened here
today, and during the thirty -four
years of its existence, there was never
so much interest attached to the de-
lberations of the association as at the
present convention. Attorney General
Wickersham is On the ground and has
been busy ever since his arrival gath
ering his forces for the fight which
he intends to make IN the interest OF
his colored assistant, William H..
Lewis, of Boston.
Mr.. Lewis was invited to join the
association by New England. lie paid
his dues and legally became mem
Der. He is an assistant attorney
general of the United States. The
executive committee of the American
Bar Association revoked his mem
bership when it was learned that he
was a negro. Attorney General Wick
ersham was indignant when he found
out out the treatment his assistant
had received and for several months
has been planning to fight out tho
matter at the annual convention OF
the association. 1t is said that south.
ern members, who are claimed TO be
responsible for the attack on Lewis,
have planned to attend in unusually
large numbers 20 oppose Mr.. Wicker
sham. On the other hand the attor
ney general is said to be armed win
the proxies of northern C-v eastern
lawyers who can not attend the meet
ing, to be used as he sees fit. In
addition he has been promised the
support of some of the best lawyers
of New York, Philadelphia, Boston
and Pittsburg.
Mr.. Lewis is a graduate of Harvard,
and was elected TO the American Bar
Assoc alton in August, 1911. Be-
cause the executive committee re-
scinded his election when it was
found that he was a negro, Mr.. Wick
ersham raised protest and threaten
ed to resign from the organization.
The committee has not decided to
leave the question of whether it had
the right to cancel the election to
the Bar Association as a whole.
Two other negro lawyers were
elected to the association when it was
not known that they were negroes,
and their cases will be settled by the
fight over Lewis. They are Butler
r. Wilson of Massachusetts and Will
liam r. Morris of Minnesota.
The Bar Association will also rec
ommend improvement in the laws
governing child labor. 1t has al
ready advocated uniform state laws.
which has resulted in the adoption OF
uniform laws on negotiable instru-
ments in forty states, on warehouse
receipts in twenty-five states, on
sales in ten states, besides many
other acts. The Bar Association has
also been instrumental in the crea-
tion of state boards OF law examiners.
The convention will continue until
tensively entertained during their
stay. Cincinnati wants the next
meeting.

The Female of the Species.

Oh, woman, woman, woman,
Most certainly you can
In torrid heat of summer
Give pointers to a man
On how to dress for comfort
Be cool and clean and neat,
From very tip of hatpin,
Down to your little feet.
A dainty short-sleeved shirt waist
And stockings made of net
And not cuff or collar.
To make you fume and fret;
Just gauzy whites and linen,
Made-well, we cannot say
But all designed and fashioned
To keep the heat away
Oh! woman, woman, woman.
When warm waves hit the town
Your face is always smiling,
While sun is sizzling down.
You dress to suit the weather,
No collar, cuffs or coat;
Still some men say you haven't
Got sense enough to vote.
