PRESIDENTIAL POINTERS

The Republican elephant and
the Democratic donkey were
both originated by Thomas Mast
In his cartoons In Harper's
Weekly In 1874. Their concep-
ton grew out Of . hoax In the
New York Herald to the effect
that the animals Of the Central
park menaserie had broken loose
and were wandering about the
city. Soon after, Mast labeled
the two political parties, az well

The use Of the huge new locomo-
tives and the long and heavy trains,
against which the Brotherhoods of
freight trainmen, who are asking an
enormous increase in wages, protest
so vigorously, seems to have resulted
in a rapid decrease in accidents to
railroad employees, and decided in
crease in their safety. The number
OF railway employees killed in SER
vice diminished from 620 in 1911 to
452 in 1911, and the number Of in.
iured from GG01 to 1928.

WHEN EDITOR WAS DOCTOR
English Provincial Newspaper Offices
Once as Matter of Course Equipped
With Medicine.

Keene's Bath Journal, which ceased
publication recently, was one of the
Oldest weekly newspapers in the prov.
tnces, says the London Times. Known
as the Bath Journal, it was founded in
1742 by Thomas Roddeley, whose por-
trait in wig and ruffles, by Hoare,
forms a picturesque reminder of the
period. His daughter married John
Keene, the journal from this union
passing on to and through succession
of Keenes, hence its title Keene's Bath
Journal
AS was the custom in bygone days
patent medicines were sold in provin-
cial newspaper offices, and the drawers
in which the pills and medicines were
kept at the Journal office were until
recently in their original positions. It
was nothing unusual for the editor in
the throes OF writing his editorial to
have to step down from his seat to
serve box of pills.
The pages of the Journal were for a
long period largely taken up by adver-
tisements of various cure alls.p

Australian Aboriqines.

The question to what grand division
of the human race the aborigines OF
Australia belong has been long dis
puted by ethnologists. The native Aus
tralians are black, which led many
to class than among the negro races;
but later Investigators, considering
their features, their straight or curled,
not woolly hair, and their heavy
boards, classify them, along with the
Veddahs Of Ceylon and tile hill tribes
of India as Caucasians. II this classi-
fication is correct, we see, stretching
from Iceland to Australia, l. e., more
than halfway around the globe, long
belt in which are found nations of all
colors and all grades of culture, from
the blond Icelander to the black Aus
tralian, and from the highest product
of twentieth century civilization to a
condition comparable to that OF the
cave dwellers of prehistoric Europe.

by white men. we're at the lowest state
of development, as regards civilization.

No MEDIATION NOW.

II band OF outlaws should ride In
to town and murder number OF citi-
zens, probably nobody would be willing
to settle the score with them by medi-
alton. Practically parallel case is
presented by the Mexican raiders who
have been killing our citizens on the
border. Murder is not matter for
mediation but calls for punishment
according to the evidence It is not
surprising, therefore, that the admin
lstration is giving no countenance to
efforts to arbitrate our controversy
with Mexico.
Uncle Sam bore with patience the
outrages against our citi-
zens as long as the crimes complained
Of were not chargeable to the organ
lied government of Mexico but when
the contrary condition developed, the
had passed the stage for
mediation or discussion Of any kind
except upon the basis OF full redress
by MEXICO for all the wrongs inflict-
ed upon us.
