 of them living in Moravia. The language of the Slovaks is, however, nearly related to that of the Czechs, though it's form and literature belongs entirely to recent times, while with the Czechs the literature covers hun dreds of years. As for the word Sla- vonic, to speak critically and up to date, it is applied properly only to the people of the eastern portion of the Hungarian crown land province, Croatia. .Slavonia, the latter name, Slavonia, handed down from the mongrel Latinized form of the middle ages. The language of this people is that common to the Croatians and Servians, and usually called Croatian- Servian. The Croats call their own country Horvatska krajina, and the smaller division east of it, Slavonska krajina; that is, Croatian borderland, and Slavonic borderland. As we have just seen, this naming does not apply to the language, but to the land. The basis of this word, Slav- onia, is the same as that of Slav, and Slavic; yet not the name of any na- tionlity, but of race or great group of nations, the larger branch of which includes the Russians, the Bulgarians, the Ruthenians, the Servo-C -Croatians and the Slovenians; the smaller, or western branch, includes the Czechs or Bohemians, the Slovaks, the Poles, the Wends, and some minor peoples. So we speak of the Slavic languages as a whole; and of Pan -Slavism, the propaganda preached especially by Russia, meaning the union of all the Slavic peoples, under Russia, of course. J. N. Enc.

The statements in the year book are

JAMES R. MANN, LEADER.

Congressman Mann of Chicago, reelected Re-
publican leader in the House. mas had career that
may we'll be commended to the study of new men,
bers, and to many old ones. Mr. Mann is leader
because he has worked himself into the job He
is not public man with whom this newspaper is
always able to agree wherefore it is the more sat-
sfaction to say for him that if there fifty men
in the House who worked as hard and as ccnscien-
tously as ne does Congress would stand vacty bet
ter with the country
"Jim' Mann is the sort of publicist the country
needs For years before he became leader, it was
matter of universal wonderment among his asso-
ciaes that he able always to know so much about
legislation He could put his finger on the weak spot
of BILL could point out the joker in piece of legs-
lation with unerring accuracy. He honest about
things too He was made chairman of the paper
and pulp investigation, with all his predictions op-
posed to the very conclusions that he finally reached
and supported He was big enough TO change his
mind when the facts were before him. He voted
against the Payne-Aldrch bill because the concus-
ions of his committee on this question repudi-
ated bv the makers of that measure
Mr.. Mann, as leader, when compared to the lead
ershp that went before him, is a living testimony
that the Republican party, what there is left Of it, is
doing better. -

Bryan's Mind Is Open
To Charges Preferred
Against Ambassador

At the State Department today Of
fcials would make no comment on the
charges against Ambassador Wilson.
That the department will not take cr-
cial cognizance OF the complaints un-
less they are submitted later through
the Mexican embassy, however seems
proba able.
The department has had this subject
before Il previously, through newspaper
channels, and 4 Is believed by men

that Secretary Bryan win not fail to
take recognition of the claims OF the

in recent weeks. and there Is a poss'-
bility that speedy action will DC taken

BRYAN CAFES UPON
HIMSELF IN MOVIES
He Sees Inauguration Day Films
and Says They Are Fine for
Common People.

Secretary of State Bryan has the
movies craze in earnest. After he
had completed his view Of the Panama
canal moving pictures he was not en-
tirely sated. He wanted more. and told
Hal Reed, newspaper correspondent and
moving picture manager. that he was
anxious to have another reel shown
him.
.'What would YOU like?" queried Mr..
Reed, thinking to please the great COM
moner with any subject in his cata-
lcgue. For instance, how would You
like TO see the inauguration ceremonies
and parade as depicted in the movies:
The Commoner smiled. He would
like that, come to think about it, OF
course. he had seen some Of the parade
from the Presidential reviewing stand,
and knew all abodt how the oath was
administered to Mr.. Wilson and had
the inaugural address down by heart.
But then the pictures would be good,
even at that
The Secretary, as a matter of fact.
had been a very busy man in the Pres
idential stand. and. Of course, he
COuluH see now Ine WnOIe snow looked
when everybody wanted to extend con-
gratulations to the new Secretary
the power behind the throne. He just
happened to remember that about one
half Of his time the afternoon Of in
auguration had been passed in receiv-
ing the hearty word Of esteem from
many notables gathered near the Pres
dental box. So, of course, many of
the best features Of the inauguration
escaped him.
ITS a great show" commented the
Secretary after It was over. "A man
doesn't need any more to spend all Of
his time and money travelling around
the country to get the sights. He can
have them in his home or Office, get
a liberal education or amusement just
as he likes, and all for a sum within the
reach of the great common people
Thereupon the movie man picked up
his outfit and went away ponderine
over the suggestion of the Secretary.
Was 1t a play for Democratic votes in
the next campaign or just a boost for
the movie game?

Nobody will read it all, or would know much
more about the sugar tariff if he did. ..
There is safe rule with regard to sugar litera-
ure. If you find article pamphlet or an adver-
tisemen that defends the Dutch standard of color, il
will be safe to assume that you being buncoed.
The Dutch standard will go and people with en-
gagements sustain the sacred of costly sugar
will make small progress by attempting to defend it.
There may be some legitimate arguments in favor
of duty on sugar. But there is no honest argu-
ment in favor of the antquated, repudiated grating
device of the Dutch standard

NEW JERSEY BACKSLIDING.

Personal leadership does count for great deal,
even when there is good cause and it is supported
by public opinion.
While he was Governor of New Jersey there was
fair prospect that Mr. Wilson could lead drive the
legislature of his State to keep all the important
pledges in the Democratic platform.
Mr. Wilson was transferred to the White House in
Washington. One might suppose that all the power
of that great office would continue his influence in
New Jersey undiminished. But when he left Trenton
for Washington the Democratic legislature of his
State promptly left some of the most important of
his New Jersey policies. 1t repudiated the jury re-
form and constitutional convention pledged by the
platform and urged by Mr. Wilson as governor In
stead of making record for economy, it squandered
public funds, and in other ways showed that with Mr.
Wilson off the job the New Jersey legislature couldn't
stay good.

THE APPEAL FROM CARRANZA.

Venustiano Carranza, governor of Coahuila, is
become the chief figure in the new Mexican revolt,
as was predicted Immediately after the HuertaDiaz
treacery and the murder of the constitutional rulers
He is the dangerous man, for the moment at least;
and how dangerous he is, may be judged from the
tentative proposal from Huerta to abdicate. The
truth is that the Mexican ferment has reached the
stage where Huerta cannot but see that the safest
plan, with regard to his skin, is to get out
soon and as decently possible.
Carranza has published Straightforward, manly
appeal to the people of the United States. He
wants them to inform themselves confident that il
they will do they will sympathize with his efforts.
Perhaps the American people are better informed
than he realizes; suspect they are. Perhaps too,
he is entitled to rely greater force of sentiment
in his support, north of the Rio Grande, than he is
now able to appreciate. That, too, may easily be
believed.
