THE ORIGIN OF "CRINGO"
Had 1t Anything to Do with Green
Grow the Rashes, o.?

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Although close reader OF your
Sunday feature section. it is quite unusual
to find inaccuracies IN its articles. Per-
nit me TO call your attention to the ar
tice on the sixth page entitled Origin
OF the Term Gringo'.'
The popularity accepted idea has been
that when the armies under Generals
Scott, TAYLOR and Worth invaded Mex
leo and captured its capital in lA' the
soldiers sang Robert Burns's lyric to an
old popular Scotch Tilt:
Green grow the rsshes. o,
Green grow the rashes. o:
The sweetest hours | ever spend,
Are spent amang the lasses, o."
This Is not what your writer attributes
the word "Gringo' TO. but an entirely
different melody Where tho Green
Grass Grows"
Any member OF the CALIFORNIAN Club or
its pipers can give you a lively touch
OF the Burns Tilt.
However, II is extremely doubtful IL
the term 'Gringo" originated under any
SUN vi VI d. 81 ialc q udbC
as lSi1. II is used as term Of oppro-
brum for all foreigners among the lower
classes except in Brazil (Which is Portu-
suese in language and Argentina,
throughout Central and South America,
just as the East Side OF New York uses
the terms "wop." "glinea,'' "sheeney,"

slities and races.
have inquired OF perhaps a hundred
Mexican War veterans II they ever heard

while with the army in Mexico, and none
OF them claimed that they ever did, and
all Of them united in affirming that the
term "Gringo" was in common use among
tho poems OF Eastern and Central Mexico
when they arrived there, as well as by
the lower classes in the towns and cities

whence the term sprang, and none OF

The Crisis in Pennsylvania.

In a speech at Altoona Friday evening ex-Mayor
j. Benjamin Dimmck Of Scranton, expressed con-
fidence in his ability to beat Senator Boies Pen
rose in next Tuesdays primary in Pennsylvania.
Those who have the best interests Of the Republi-
can party at heart hope that the voters Of Penn
Sylvania will rise 10 the opportunity of rebuking
in Mr.. Penroses person the vices OF bosssm and
the blunders Of reactonary leadership The senior
Pennsylvania Senator stands conspcuousy for ideas
and methods which progressive Repubicanism has
put behind it. His triumph would be the triumph
of the forces which have pulled the Republican
party down and which. if not routed will keep IT
down.
Mr.. Dimmck deserves success because he has had
the courage TO make an open fight against the vast
resources of the Republican machine in Pennsyl-
vania and the secret influences which are support
ing Mr.. Penrose because they know that If re-
elected he will continue to do their bidding. The
best plank in his platform is the simple one: Pen
is moral issue" He has excited the sym
pathy Of the friends of progress and good govern
ment in all the parties and if he wins Republican
ism in Pennsylvania will take on new meaning
The Philadelphia North American" Progressive
newspaper, had this to say recently about Mr. DIM
micks candidacy:
The North American. OF course cannot speak
for Republicans; il is a Progressive newspaper But
we know that many thousands of Progressives have
enrolled Republicans in order to get two shots
at the candidate who did much TO wreck the Re-
publican party and 10 bring disrepute upon the State
of Pennsylvania.
IL is from these voters that by far the grca er
part OF Mr.. Dimmicks strength at the primaries
will come. And we can confidently advise them to
cast their ballots for him, since by his recent
straightforward utterances he has the right TO
the support Of all decent citizens voting at the Re-
publican primary.
From the partisan and fractional point OF view the
best thing that could happen 10 the Progressives
and Democrats would be the denomination Of Pen
rose. whose defeat at the November election would
be pretty nearly fcregone conclusion. But there
are times when fractional advantage is overshadowed
by the desire to rebuke false service and to vindi,

outside of two features that made
heir appearance last night. to the
utter disgust of the respectable per
sons present the Workman carnival,
ON South Main and adjacent streets,
is one of the Cleauest rs well as the
largest aggr. cations Of he kind that
ever visited Tulsa.

Whether he was paying anyone for
the privilege could not be learned.
As soon as the confetti made its APP
pearance the rough-nooks got busy.
In a short time it was not safe for any
lady to traverse Main street between
Fourth ana sixth. whether escorted
or not. The confetti seemed to be an
excuse for uncouth youths and men
to get familiar with strange women.
The other nuisance is u show at

KING GEORGE PRAISES
COLONIES FOR WAR AID

London, Sept 1.-THE official in
formation bureau yesterday gave out
message from King George to the
British colonies. 1t is as follows:
During the last few weeks the peo
plies of my whole empire at home and
overseas have moved with one mind
and purpose to confront and over.
throw an unparalleled assault upon
the continuity of civilization and the
peace of mankind.
The calamitous conflict is not OF
my seeking. My voice has been cast
throughout on the side of peace. My
ministers earnestly strove to allay the
causes of the strife and to appease
difference with which my empire was
not concerned. Had l stood aside
when in defiance of pledges to which
my kingdom was a party, the soil oil
Belgium was violated and her cities
made desolate, when the very life OF
the French nation was threatened with
extinction, 1 should have sacrificed
my honor and given to destruction the
kind.
Il rejoice that every part of the EN-
pire is with me in this decision
Paramount regard for treaty OF
faith and the pledged word of rulers
and peoples is the common heritage
of Great britain and of the empire
NV peoples in the self-governing do
minions have shown beyond all doubt
that they whole-heartedly indorse the
grave decision it was necessary to
take, and / am proud to be able to show
to the world that my peoples oversee
are as determined as the people of the
United Kingdom to prosecute Just
cause to a successful end.
THE Dominion of Canada, the Com
monwealth of Australia and the Do
minion of New Zealand have placed at
my disposal their naval forces, which
have already rendered good service
for the empire. Strong eXpeditionary
forces are being prepared in Canada,
Australia and New Zealand for serv'
ice at the front, and the union of South
Africa has released all British troops
and undertaken the important mill
tary responsibilities.
Newfoundland has doubled the
number of it's branch of the royal
naval reserve. and is sending body
of men to take part in the operations
at the front From the dominion and
provincial governments of Canada
large and welcomed gifts of supplies
are on their way for use, both by my
naval and military forces.
"All parts of my oversee dominions
have thus demonstrated in the most
unmistakable manner the fundamental
unity of the empire amidst all its di-
yersity of situation and circum-
stance"
A message similar to the foregoing
has been addressed by King George to
the prince and the peoples of India.

Plea for Silos.
Supervisor Tambur made a plea for
the erection of two silos and repairs
on the barn at the county infirmar.-
The board referred the matter to the
infirmary committee to investigate and
report at the December meeting.
Fight Over Salary.
This afternoon the board had a big
wrangle over the salary of the sheriff.
Supervisor Grafiund of the Jail and Jail
accounts committee. made a majority
report favoring the increase of the an
nual salary from $1,000 to $500; an
appropriation for $500 for deputy
hire, livery hire. stationery and other
office expenses and an automobile for
the official. 1t is understood that the
candidates for sheriff of all the four
Political parties have agreed to this
proposition. Under this plan the
feeding of prisoners would be under
the care of the Jail and Jail accounts
committee. who figure the annual cost
for this work would be about $4,000.
A minority report was then present
ed in favor of fixing the salary at
$500. Supervisor Wright moved as
a substitute that the salary be made
$4,000. Later he withdrew this and
the majority report was adopted by a
vote of 20 to Z.
The salary of county judge, county
clerk and probate Judge was boosted
from $4,000 to $4,000; the probate
clerk from $500 to $500, and the
county treasurer from $1,7OO to $500.
