and when some one asked what the
initials meant he answered, jestngly
that he didn't know unless they meant
Ebert Anderson and Uncle Sam
meaning Uncle Sam Wilson. The joke
spread first in the community where
Uncle Sam was well known and then
in wider circles, until finally Uncle
Sam came stand for the United
States. When Samuel Wilson died In
Troy in 1864. aged S5 years, an Albany
paper recalled the Uncle Sam story
and gave II as the true origin Of the
sobriquet. The story is so clumsy and
improbable that it may safely be
classed as untrue,
another and more important ac-
count OF the origin Of Uncle Sam is
thar when a regiment of light drag
oons was raised in 1908 the letters L.
S. l.. d. on their caps was interpreted
by some wag to mean Uncle Sans
Lazy Dogs. The contrast of the
militia with the regulars in the War
Of 1872 gave the phrase greater cur
ency and ii rapidly grew popular.
Uncle Sam being used prior to 1912,
but the expression Uncle Sans men
occurred In the Lansingburg Gazette
of September, 1913, and in the True
American in oct. Z, 1919. The Ameri-
can Daily Advertiser of Aug. Is, 1916,
attributed the origin of Uncle Sam
to the letters u. S. |. u. Just a year
later the Albany Gazette said ii arose
during the war from the letters u. s.
on the soldiers knapsacks and has
come into general USE This was in
1917. The Albany paper added:
The Indians at the West, from
hearing the term Uncle Sam often
used, have imbibed the idea that II
Is actually the name OF the president
and while at Sackett's Harbor con-
siderable number OF Indians and
squaws crowded around the president,
wishing, as they expressed it, to shake
hands with Uncle Sam
This story seems more probable
than the other, for It is easier to trace
Uncle Sam directly to the letters L.
s. on soldiers caps and knapsacks
than to trace 1t through Uncle Sam
Wilson. as soldiers are much given to
nicknames. The letters were used
from an early date TO mark military
equipment. and II was only a step from
L. S. to Uncle Sam.
quite as interesting a question as
that OF the origin Of the name Uncle
Sam is the origin of the picture OF
Uncle Sam. The American public is
familiar with the cartoon picture of
Uncle Sam. Where did the picture
originate and how was It popularized
until 1t became universally recognized
and accepted as emblematic of the
American people and-government.
Careful investigation leads to the
conclusion that the modern currert
cartoon picture Of Uncle Sam origi-
mated in England as caricture Of
Brother Jonathan and was adopted
and transplanted ms Uncle Sam by
Thomas Mast, the founder OF Ameri-

WORCESTER, Mass, Nov. 2l. 49,
THE reason for the instability OF
MeAican conditions is the absence Of

Cabrerta, former leader of Mexican
house Of representatives, at the Clark
university conference on Latin Amer
lea Mr. Cabrera's address was the
first of series which made this
Mexican day at the conference.

Cabrera continued there is no real
social equilibrium. eno peace and nc
democratic form OF government. The
consututionalist movement tends TO
ward the formation OF "a middle class
through the creation Of favorable
conditions OF life for the masses.
THE colonial policies OF Spain In
Mexico contributed largely to the Gre
alton OF privileged classes. Large
tracts Of lands were granted to
soldiers, conquerors and to the
church. Thousands of Indians were
compelled to live upon and work the
lands so granted. The independence
Of Mexico in 1910 did not materially
change the condition OF the masses
The great landed estates owned by
wealthy families still remain in their
rosaession and are responsible for
Mexico's economic crisis.
owing to the dictatorial powers
exercised by General DiaZ from 1876
to 1910, the people OF Mexico have
not given an opportunity to test their
constitution but study and recenk de-
velopments have proved that in Ger
tain particulars the constitution OF
Mexico IL not fitted for the needs of
the people.

Play for Southern Title.

ATLANTA. Nov. 21-Southern foot
TAN enthusiasts tonight were busily
figuring the comparative strength OF
the rival elevens from Auburn and the
University of Georgia, which tomor-
row afternoon will meet here to fight
for the S. J. a. A. championship OF
1913.
Confidence. tempered by the reali-
zation that victory tomorrow will be
won only through the hardest kind Of
fighting. tonight was the prevailing
sentiment in the rival camps OF Aub-
urn and Georgia. Betting here was
light with the odds slightly in favor
Of Auburn. Those offering odds on
the Alabama team justified their po-
sltion by pointing out the superiority
in weight of Auburn over Georgia.
In the opinion Of many gridiron ex-
perts who havt closely watched the
performances this season OF both
Auburn and Georgia. there is little TO
choose between the two teams and the
should be fight to
a finish. Auburn's full squad. led by
Cach Donahue, arrived tonight while
Georgia's eleven. headed by Coach
Cunningham. will not reach here until
tomorrow morning.
Another southern game tomorrow
which will attract much attention will

it, but wisely said nothing.

meal, and she drew the little old lady
out to tell her of her daughter and
how she had died two years ago, IeaV-

the little old lady had been trying to
make it stretch until maybe she

wishing vaguely that she knew how
to say pet things to little old ladies.

honor, and was spoken of as having
saved his country. Grant replied:
81 must dissent upon one remark in
that saved the country during the
recent war. If our country could be
saved or ruined by any one man we
should not have a country and we
should not now be celebrating the
Fourth of July.

fallen, there were ten thousand be-

will be no fear for the Union"
