The conflict between the railroad:
and their employees has served al
leat one good purpose. 1t has con.
vinced the ultimate goats (the pub
lie at large) that laws must be en-
acted to prevent a recurrence uf con-
ficts in the future which have the
possibility of paralysis of the COM
mercial interests of the country.
Those laws should be so drastic in
their nature as to force a course of
moderation on both sides to the con-
troversy. The people have rights,
as well as the railroads and their
employees.

A Tribute to Gov. Manning.

As | feel a deep interest in good
government and to correct some
erroneous statements about Cover
nor Richard l Manning, will you
please publish the following?
They say that he is blue blooded
and kid glove sort of mar and will
not rent land to a white man.
beg to say that | haye known
Governor Manning for twenty-five
years, have lived on his place as a
renter for ten years, have had busi-
ness dealings with him for fourteen
years, and will say that he is high
toned Christian gentleman and a
friend to the poor man. Further |
wish to say that he is for law and
order and will not uphold anything
or stoop to anything low or dishonest.

THURSDAY. SEPT. 1916
Vote For Manning Tuesday

: There is small margin OF 9,O33
between the combined vote of Coop
er, Manning, Duncan and Des-
Champs over that Of Blease. 1t is
highly probable that this number OF
the Cooper, Duncan and DesChamps
supporters will fall into the Blease
column on next Tuesday. The only
way in the round world that we can
figure out to keep this demagogue
from landing in the Governors
office for third term is simply for
EVERY MANNING man to 60 to the
polls and vote to keep Manning in
the office and to keep Blease out OF
it. There are about $4,000 voters
in the State who did not go to the
polls and vote in the first primary.
If this performance is repeated next
Tuesday Governor Manning will he
defeated. You can count on 100
Der cent of the Blease vote being
polled, then why not poll 100 per
cent of the Manning vote-ENER1
MANNING MAN should do his
duty Tuesday by going to the polls
and casting ballot for Richard l
Manning, and see to it that no one
forgets nor neglects this important
duty.

NAMING THE C0C0ANUT.
What the Word Originally Meant and
How Il Became Altered.

How II Became Altered.
The brown, hard shell nut cover
ed with coarse fiber and containing
white, brittle, oily ''meat" and
some sweetish liquor, generally call
ed "milk," is the coconut and not
the cocoanut. This fruit of a great
palm tree is familiar thing on
the fruit stands and in the fruit
shops and food markets all over the
world. It has been an acceptable
article of food among Europeans
for centuries, among Americans
ever since there were such people
as Americans, and among the peo-
Piles of the tropics for an undeter-
mined number of centuries. 1t is
one of the very useful things that
grow, its use being so extensive and
its uses many.
Its name is a curious one. Being
about the size of a mans head, the
Spanish early explorers and over
sea traders called it the coconut,
"coco" being a slang or vulgar
Spanish word for a mans head.
The word in that sense survives in
American slang.
So, some early Spaniard, disre
garding the native names for this
nut, capriciously called it a coco
nut, and there being something
catching in the name it passed from
mouth to mouth until it became es-
tablished as the proper name of the
nut.
A man who took the trouble to
look up the reason why the coco
nut is perhaps more often than not
called the co-coa-nut has written:
"Cocoanuts have been misnamed
for a century or more. 1t is 100
| years since proofreader in London
allowed the word to slip into die
tionary as co-coa-nut. As many die
tionaries printed since have shown
sheeplike imitation Of this edi.
ton, the misspeling of the word
has been established. The word
cocoa is the name of the bean from
which chocolate is made."-Wash-
ington Star.
