Mother Tongues of New York.

The, two largest elements among The
3,I41, ,s4f persons OF foreign white stock
in Now York City in 1910 were the
English and Celtic group and the Yid
dish and Hebrew, according TO the
mother tongue bulletin which has been
issued recently by Director William j.
Harris, OF the bureau of the census, de.
partment Of commerce. BY mother
tongue is meant tho native Ian
guage, or that spoken before immi
grafton, and the report relates both to
the foreign born whites and TO tho so
called second generation Of foreign
stock. AS thus reported, the English
and Celtic languages were the mother
tongues of about 81 per cent of the
total white population Of 4,669,16 fol.
lowed by Yiddish and Hebrew, with 10
per cent; German, IS per cent: Italian.
IL per cent; Polish, 3 per cent, French,

While the Giddish and Hebrew, with
q total of SBl $50 persons enumerated.
was the largest foreign whito stock in
tho population or the city, dwith the
exception Of the English and Celtic
group, in Manhattan Borough alone il
contributed still larger proportion of

training, and that the science of law
making has no chair in any university
in the world. Here, again, Mr.. An
dreae, while pointing out a need, is led
by his a priori method into a peril
After many ages Of struggle the hu-
man race is gradually breaking away
from n governing class. However de-
sirable it is to have in office men who
are familiar with the history and the
ory Of government. with the sclence
which concerns itself with the effect
and the bearings of l9w--the sc1ence
which defines tho true scope of leRis-
l0tjon and teaches tho lessons TO he de-
rived from it's successes and It's tail
ures--there is tho danger OF re.estab'
fishing a governing class OF the aristo'
cratic few who would consider them
selves the only class fit TO mako laws.
Would the benefits Of lawmakiug by
such class be a compensation for the
re establishment of ariStocratic govern

some of our leading universities. THIS
branch of governmental science IS still

ferson believed that mankind should
get along with as few laws as possible.
Today we are drifting to tho opposite
extreme, and those OF us who boast OF
being progressive believe that We should

dition. For the settlement of this ab-
struse question education is essential
and the universities could not do better
than TO establish courses IN the 'the-
ory and science Of lawmaking.

RECOGNIZED AT LAST.

The remnant of a gallant little band
of frontiersmen and the widows OF
their heroic companions who have gone
before are about to be placed on the
pension rolls after long years of wait
ing. The pioneers of the west will re-
member the Forsyth scouts, organized
by General Sheridan in the latter six
ties for service against the various
tribes OF hostile Indians then giving
so much trouble.
With Forsyth at the head the scouts,
starting after number of hostiles
who had raided wagon train, unex-
pectedly encountered band Of 1000 In
dians on the warpath in eastern Colo
rado \ pitched battle and flight be-
ing equally out of the question the
scouts made a stand on Beecher island,
where for three long days and nights
they successfully stood off the bowling
horde OF savages. The odds were over
wbelming. but the men fought like the
Greeks under Leonidas, and with a
much greater measure of success, for
after killing a large number of the
warriors who surrounded them, their in
tyepid commander succeeded in getting
two messengers through the lines to
Fort Wallace, summoning help.
The hot fire maintained by the scouts
during the first three days of the en-
gagement kept the Indians at re-
spectful distance for the better part Of
a week, during which time the from
tiersmen ran out of rations and were
compelled TO subsist on horse and mule
meat Rcinforcements summoned from
Fort Wallace finally arrived. put the
Indians to flight and rescued the sur
viving desperate fighters on the island.
The victory was gained ut heavy cost,
for several of the scouts were killed
and fifteen Of them seriously wounded.
Only six of the members of this ia
nous band Of frontiersmen are believed
10 be alive at the present time and
there arc but FIVE surviving widows Of
record. They should have been pen
stoned long ago

PERSONAL LIBERTY.

Some striking thoughts with refer.
ence TO personal liberty were pre-.
seDted at the recent annual banquet Of
the American Association of Foreign
Language Newspapers in New York by
Percy Andreac. who takes the view that
the political liberty We enjoy is prov
ing danger TO our Individual liberty.
' Whereas law, as we generally under
stand it, has always sprung from an
opinion established by custom, the tcu-
dcncy is to reverse the proeess and es-
,ablish custom BY law" says Mr An.
drcae.
1t is clear that Mr. Andreae here
points out fatal flaw in much OF the
reform legislation now proposed by va
rious factions. The idea of these we'll
meaning rcformers is that the weak can
bc made strong by law, that by remov-
ing temptation virtue can be made to
thrive. and that by restricting the per-
sonsl liberty of the many who arc
strong the detectives can be brought
up TO the level Of those who arc able
TO resist temptation aud who lead nor
NAL, healthy, sane lives. 1t is Mr.. An
dreae 5 view that such legislation is
rot calculated to strengthen the weak,
but tc weaken the strong.
If We once deprive mon Of the
right and the opportunity TO exercise
their faculties, he says, "tbe result
must be, if nature s work is any cri-
tcrion, not that the weak viii! be
raised 10 tho level Of the strong. but
that the strong viii be lowered to the
level Of the weak. II We sacrifice the
independence OF the many in order to
protect The frailty OF the few, we shall
not only destroy the sources from which
the many derive their strength, bui
shall further extend the dependence oil
ihr few TO whom a share of that
strength has been denied. Charity az
fords the best proof of the truth oi
this. For who does not know that
charity, which aims TO relieve poverty
is the most fruitful producer oi
psupers. -
II will be seen that Mr. Andreae i,
an extremist on the point Of persona
liberty. It is probable that in the con
fllct between those who advocate tn.
largest share OF personal liberty an,
those who seek to control all iudivid
ual actions By law, the golden mcar
ultimately will prevail
One of the most important points
raised by Mr.. Andreae is that lawmak
ing is the only profession, upon which
ihe public welfare depends, that doe
moi call for previous instructions an,

OBSERVE THE CODE.

The French and Germans are popu.
larly supposed TO be among the most
enlightened peoples in the world. They
regard Themselves as the leaders of Con.
tineptal Europe in any event. With all
their civilization, however, they still re.
tain the barbaric custom OF settling
questions Of "honor" under the code
duello. There have been two examples
during the past week. one in each
country.
The first battle was between two
German army officers, ono Of whom had

II is difficult TO understand why u
man should be called upon TO fight q

killed or manned for cause which
should have been settled by a military
court. The application Of the rccog-
nized code in this case resulted in al.

Of procedure.
The second duel occurred in France
between a brace of noblomen, not ma
ture's noblemen, but count and q
baron whose titles unfortunately sur
vived the great revolution. The pair
had been gambling and the baron, a
gentleman of rank, was accused OF
cheating, in fact he was actually
caught in the act Now the man caught
cheating at cards is not considered to
have any honor even in the most dis
solute circles Of the continental capitals,

ing duel, but one was arranged In this
case, nevertheless. The question was
raised by the seconds of the count, but
one of the two worthless who represent
ed the baron refused TO discuss the
matter, saying it was sufficient that he
and his partner had consented to act
as seconds and that they would take
full responsibility for the honor Of their
principal
The seconds of the count readily
adopted this view for to decline would
have entailed meeting on the So
called field of honor between them and
the seconds of the baron, one of whom
has the reputation Of being the most
deadly and notorious duelist in France.
In this case outraged justice Jared a
little better than in the duel between
the German officers, for the baron was
slashcd on the arm by the count and
punished in part for being not only a
gambler, but thief as well. BY fight
ing the duel, however, he retained his
place IN society as man of honor
and is free TO fleece his fellows in the
most select circles if he is dexterous
enough to avoid being caught during
the operation.
German and French notions of honor
were long entertained by the English
speaking race and history records some
noted meetings both in England and
America. Happily good sense finally
prevailed in both countries and chal-
Ienges arc now received with derision
and scorn and in many instances turned
over to the authorities in order that
the law may be viudicated instead of
the alleged "honor'' Of the man who
would commit murder under the guise
Of fighting a duel.

BOY BROWNS As
He F0RDS CREEK

Fairfield, Sept. 21.--Clarence An
! derson, the 17-year-old son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. r. w. Anderson. who reside six
miles west Of Fairfield. was drowned
in Cedar creek Saturday afternoon
about 4 o'clock. One horse of the
team that he was driving was also
drowned.
The accident, which is a great
shock to the people of the com.
munity, came about when the Ander-
liam Heston, attempted to ford the
creek returning home from hauling a
load of corn to neighbours. They
had forded the creek at this place
with the wagon loaded and were in
the habit Of fording It when having
business on the opposite side, there
for thought nothing unusual of at
tempting it at this time. But the re-
cent rains had raised the creek con-
siderably and the current near the
ford is very swift
When the boy drove into the creek
on this trip, the empty wagon bed
was Immediately swept off it's bear
ings and the horses became unloos-
ened, and started to swim to the
shore. Mr.. Heston, who is young
man, managed to get to shore a short
distance away after considerable
struggle and the Anderson boy
crawled upon the back of one of the
horses, but was swept off by the cur
rent. During his struggles the lines
became entangled about him and he
pulled one of the horses with him
as he was swept down the creek and
finally under the water.
Mr.. Heston gave the alarm and
soon many neighbors and friends
were at the scene. The search for
the body began and was not ended
until $3.50 a. m. Sunday, when Per-
rine Reed, neighbor, found the body
In twelve feet of water.
