The old question of the origin
of the red man Of America is still
an open one, the last word by no
means having been said. The
most probable theory is that
which links the Indian with the
Mongolians of East Africa, whose
physical characteristics are strik-
ingly similar to those Of the
American aborigine. Between
the Indian and the Japanese
there are many pronounced re-
semblances, and some excellent
authorities are of the opinion THAI
it was from that eastern race that
the Indian originally sprung. If.
as some think, the Eskimos are
the best representatives. q
the Indian as he was upon his
arrival here, the theory of the
Japanese origin is immensely
strengthened since the likeness
between the Eskimo and the ia
panese is striking indeed. New

graft is tolerated, 100 pounds
may be sent by mail, anywhere
in England, Scotland or Wales,
for IL cents IT'S a flat rate, no
zones. By our law every post
office is a unit and around it are
circles dividing the country into
zones. The postage rate is the
same on given parcel anywhere
within that zone, but increases
with each successive zone. For
example: Index is two miles,
Lexington one hundred and Pa
ducah three hundred miles from
West Liberty. A parcel may be
sent as cheaply from West Lib
erty to Lexington as to Index,
all being in the same zone, but if
addressed to Paducah it will re-
quire a higher rate, the latter
place being in the second zone.
The express companies tried
to defeat the law by seeking to
arouse the country merchants
against it on the plea that the
mail order houses would absorb
their trade, but since the enact
ment of the law express rates
have been reduced to compete
with the government. The mer-
chant who keeps what the peo-
pie want, is willing to sell for a
reasonable profit and who adVer-
fses, need not fear that the par

Perhaps it is better that Uncle
Sam try the experiment on a
limited scale until some means is
found to choke the railroads off
from the strangle-hold they have
on the government in the trans
portation of the mails. 1t is the
known graft, winked at by the
postal authorities, that causes an
annual deficit in the postofiice de-
partment. The postoilice Off
cials who unblushingly pay the
railroads more than sixteen times
as much for hauling a pound of
mail as the express companies
pay per pound are constantly
trying to cure the deficit by put
ting additional tax on magazines
and newspapers. The press is
the greatest foe to graft and the
department seems to be trying tC
make existence impossible fol
thought provoking publications.

FIELDER ELECTED
IN new JERSEY
Democrat Chosen Governor by
$4,000 Plurality.
WILL Control LEGISLATURE

The Result Is Construed as a Great
Victory For President Wilson's Poll
cies.
Trenton, n. j., Nov. 5.-The returns
rom New Jersey indicate that Fielder
will have a plurality OF 3O,SO and
the legislature will be Democratic
This will properly be construed as a
,5reat victory for President Wilson and
President Wilson's policies.
Fielder carried Hudson county by
10000. with Stokes. the Republican
candidate, running second, and Colby,
the Progressive, far behind.
Fielder carried Monmouth county by
700; Hunterdon by 500; Union by 300;
Cumberland by 200
Stokes carried Passaic by 10000 over
Fielder. Stokes also carried Atlantic
county. Cumberland county went DEM
ocratic for the first time in many
wears.
Next to the contest for governor the
hardest fight. was made in the state
for control of the legislature which
will meet next January. In the lasJ
session for the first time in many
wears. with the aid of Progressives at
the polls, the Democrats had a major
ity in each house.
An entire house of assembly with
sixty members. as wei as eight sena-
tors. was elected. Thirteen senators
hold over. TO control the senate it is
necessary for the Republicans to elect
five, or Democratic success in three
counties win give that party a major
fly of one It would have been easy
for the Republicans to recapture the
senate if Progressive candidates had
not appeared in every one OF the eight
counties TO split Jhe normal Republi-
can vote.
