Kansans representatives OF both the
progressive and regular wings of
the Republican party, have written
to Senator James A. Troutman en-
dorsing the meeting to be held in
Topeka, June 8, in an effort to re-
unite the party. These letters have
come from all sections of the state
and indicate that the meeting Will
in all probability be attended by
full delegations from every county
in the state.
Representative Henry w. Wacker
Of Kiowa county has written to
Senator Troutman stating that he
has been working up sentiment in
his county for the new get together
plan. II have gone over the matter
with a, number Of friends" says
Wacker in his letter, "and find
hesitancy in but very few instances.
The majority of them feel that 1t
is either that or be helplessly de-
.feated by the Democratic party in
the years to come"
Porter Young, chairman Of the
Republican congressional committee
Of the Seventh district, writes his
endorsement of the movement. Mr..
Young is a Progressive Of the most
pronounced type.
II believe this Is a good move
.ment and think very much good
could be done," writes Young.
There will have to be some con-
cessions on both sides. The men
who defeated the Republican ticket
last fall were not in position to
outline the policy or to make the
terms of any get together movement.
MY position is that with lot Of the
right sort of missionary work be-
tween now and June 8, the result
should be very satisfactory and
there will be but one party opposed
to the Democrats. Personally, i
have never left the Republican par
ty, but / admit that have not very
much use for the bunch of Repub-
licans who defeated the. Republican
nominees last fall. hope for the
benefit of all concerned that the
meeting will result in accomplish

$50, 100000 is The
Parcel Posts Profits

Postmaster General Burleson
rather startled Washington when
he announced that the first year
of the parcel post system will
yield net profit of $50, 900, 900.
For quarter of a century the
railroads and express companies
have been successfully making
the country believe that the par
eel post would be a burden upon
the government, and would run
the postofice so far behind that
the government might go into
bankruptcy. However, the most
ardent supporters of the parcel
post system did not contemplate
anything more than half as great
as the first year of the system
will show.
The result is going to be that
parcel post rates are going to be
slashed, in order that the public
may feel the benefits from the
new system without piling up
millions for the postoffice depart
ment. The express companies
have been insisting with their
most courageous smiles, that they
have not been seriously injured
by the parcel post, which has TAX
en- over transportation of the
small packages, which they say
has not been their greatest source
of profit. However, there seems
to be plenty of reason to assume
that the express companies have
not commenced with their trou-
bles. The interstate commerce
commission has directed an entire
readjustent of rates, which will
compel the express companies to
carry the larger packages out of
which they are securing their pre-
sent great great profits, at rates
which are going to make so per
cent dividends to stockholders of
express companies a thing of the
past.

A new law that will place Ore
gon in the front rank of the
states that have adopted meas
ures designed to better the con-
dition of women workers became
operative in that commonwealth
on Monday. The law fixes a
minimum wage of 1925 a week
for adult women clerks who are
not apprentices; defines eight
hours and twenty minutes as the
maximum days work and fifty
hours as the maximum for a
week and makes 6 p. m. the la
test hour at which any woman
may be employed on any day of
the year in a mercantile estab-
lishment. This law automatic
ally eliminates Saturday night
shopping and Christmas holiday
night shopping in such establish
mentS.

The Navajo Trouble

The pendirg G trouble between
the Navajo Indians of Shiprock
agency and the United States
marshal's office is greatly to be
regretted from every standpoint,
but we have every confidence
that an early and peaceful ter
mination of the difficulty will be
effected.
The remoteness of the Nav
ajo reservation and the difficulty
of communicating with the out
side world have doubtless pre-
vented the full story of the orr
gin of the trouble from becoming
generally known. Dealing with
a primitive race is always a deli
cate matter, requiring the great
est forbearance and diplomacy of
a high order. The red mans
standards are not those of the
white man, and if the two races
are to live in anmity and concord
certain allowances must be made
by the stronger for the inherited
weaknesses of the weaker, says
the Albuquerque Journal.
No sort of criticism of Marshal
Hudspeth is intended by this.
His office in the circumstances is
solely that of a peace officer, and
there is every reason to believe
that he has discharged his duty
with commendable frmness and
without unnecessary harshness.
The appearance on the scene
Of squadron of United States
cavalry will doubtless have a
wholesome effect in preventing
any possible uprising and in up
holding the law by the arrest of
the eight Indians who are being
shielded by their fellows. The
case, however, is one which
should command the earnest at
tention of the Indian authorities
with view to making impossi-
bic recurrence of the excite
ment which has so stirred up the
people of the northwestern part
of the state.

DERIVATION OF NAME OF
THIS STATE EXPLAINED
BY PROF. FORBES


absolutely no connection with
dryness. Instead it is derived
from ''ari" and "sonac, !" the
Papago words denoting small,
never-failing spring.
Such is the opinion of DR.. R..
H. Forbes, head of the agricul-
tural department of the Univer-
sity of Arizona. Recently he
and Governor Hunt had a discus
sion upon that old subject, the
meaning of Arizona, and he has
sent the governor the following
letter from Tucson:
Dear Governor Hunt:
Following our conversation OF
some time ago on the derivation
of the name Arizona" 5" you
may possibly be interested in the
following extract from lecture
of mine relating to the region
where the name originated:
The name is from the Papago
speech and means small, never
failing spring. Ioffer this deriva-
ton after having discussed the
question with several intelligent
Indians; and especially with Jos.
Menager, a trader, who lives
among them and speaks their Ian
guage. According to this inform
alton ari means baby or child and
denotes smallness; while sonac
means a perpetual spring. Ari-
sonac or, in it's final form, Arizona
therefore means a small, never
failing spring. A number of Pep
ago words of well-known mean
ing support this derivation. For
instance:
Ari-vaca means little marsh.
Ari-so-atuk means little water
standing.
Sonac means several perpetual
springs.
Chook-sonac means a black
spring.
Ari-so-sonac means several
little springs.
Ari-sonac means a small, 35ver-
failing spring and other place
names relating to water are COM
mon in this region.
The root word sonac is closely
resembled by otherP Papago words,
for instance soni, which conveys
the idea of low position associated
with violence therefore to be dash
ed down. This explains the curl
Gus but unlikely derivation offer
ed by a friend of the writer that
Arizona means the place where
children (ari) were killed. The
word hon, for corn has likewise
been mistaken for the root word
son, leading apparently to erro-
neous derivations for some of the
Papago place names.
The name Arizona, meaning a
little,- never failing spring is a
fitting one not only for the place
of it's origin at the rancheria of
Arizona, but for the REGION in
general, which throughout much
of it's extent is characterized by
the springs from which the no
population draws its water
supply.
1t is my impression that this
name was proposed by Colonel
Poston, a delegate in congress at
the time Arizona was erected in
to a separate territory, and | re-
somewhat indistinctly
that the old man told me that he,
being familiar with the locality
bearing the Arizona name, and
fancying the name for its
proposed it for the new
territory. However this may be
think there is no doubt what
ever that the name indeed means
a little, never-failing spring and
carries certain poetic appropri-
ateness for the region.
