JEW IN AMERICAN POLITICS.


Although Mr.. Brandeis Is the first
Hebrew to occupy seat ON the SUI
lprcme bench of this country there has
never been a long period in our his
tory marked by the absence of some
member of that wonderful race from
high governmental position" said w.
David, of the New orleans bar, at the
Willard
"One OF the greatest statesmen the
south ever produced was Judah i,
Benjamin, of Louisiana, who was a
United states senator, later on mem
her OF the confederate cabinet, and af-
ter the defeat OF the south one Of the
leading lawyers of England. Fleeins
from the anticipated wrath of the
United states government, he made
his way to London. and there by the
sheer force of Rative talent and legal
ability he was appointed queens
counsel. In recent years Louisiana
sent another Jew to the United States
senate In the person OF Mr.. Jonas, and
IL has not been so long ago that the
state of oregon was represented in the
United States senate by Mr.. Simon.
Recollection of Senator Guggenheim
OF Colorado, Is still fresh in the pub
lie mind. and n oleverer business man
tprohably never came 10 Washington.
"Any number of Jews have been
elected to seats in congress, and there
was never dullard in the lot"

opponents In what we would now call
the first race for the first presidency.

record number, but when the young
republic picked Washington in the

to choose from; Washington, John Adj

ton, Samuel Huntington, John Milton,
James Armstrong. Benjamin Lincoln
and Edward Telfair.
| Most OF these names are long lost to
public memory. but probably In those
days they were very wildly in the
minds of the people
The old manner of electng presi-
dent was quite different from the
present plan. In the early days the
process was for each elector TO cast
two votes for. wbomsoever he chose
When these votes were counted the
man receiving the highest number was
declared president and the man re-
ceiying tho next highest was automati-
cally vice president. There were nc
previous nominating conventions and
published platforms. The popular
candidates were punched" for the
voting, and they told their views In
lspeeches and later on through tho
newspapers.
In the first election, in 1888. Wash
lington received 50 votes and John Ad'
lams "a, none Of the other ten receiv'
ling over nine. Thus were chosen oul
first high officials.
This process OF selection continued
luntil 1900, when Thomas jefferson
land Aaron Burr tied with rs votei
each, and the house Of representative
had to make the choice, which result
ed in Jefferson for president md Bur-
for vice president.
Aaron Burr was the last vice presl
dent selected by his second choice
plan. Before another election thu
constitution was changed so that thu
electors voted for a president an'
vice president together. Under Till
amendment Washington went to hi
second administration, with Gcorg
Clinton as vice president. They rep

STATE MUSEUM NOTES



Santa Fe. June 22--Today the
water color exhibit of the five Engiisii
artists closed. The pictures VIII next
be exhibited in the Anderson galleries
at Chicago. Fortunately, three OF
them remain in Santa Fe, for each
picture was a gem and II may De

group of foreign artists again ex-
hibit in New Mexico. The exhibit
was a distinctive and pleasing one
and has been admired by hundreds
OF art lovers the past few weeks.
The importance Of the linguistic
wox by John r. Harrington OF inc
School of American Archaeology, is
brought out by the latest report OF
the Smithsonian institution, when
says OF him.
mr.. John p. Harrington became a
member Of the staff of the bureau OF
American ethnology February ~,
1915. and devoted the rest of the year
TO the study Of the Chumashan and
Yuman Indians of California ana
Arizona, establishing headquarters
for the convenience Of his field STUD
les at the Southwest museum In Los
Angeles ana at the Panama-Callfornia
exposition in san Diego, where he was
granted facilities BY the courtesy OF
these institutions. Results of re-
searches conducted by him before en-
tering the service Of the bureau have
been elaborated and necessary adui-
tional material has been obtained"
OF an epoch making discovery the
report says further;
ION May 20, Mr.. Harrington went
to Santa Ines mission, where he found
among the old records preserved at
the mission manuscript bearing the
title. Padron que contiene todos las
Neofitas dc esta Mission de la Puri-
sima Conception con expression de su
edad, Y partida de Bautismo segun sc
hala hoy dia de Enero de 1914, By
| Father Mariana Payeras. This doc
ument, which appears TO have been
unknown to historians, is of the great
est value for the studies of the ln-
dams of La Purisima and Santa Ines
A copy Of ii was made for the bureau
and large amount of other material
was extracted from the archives OF
the mission. While at Santa Ines, Mr..
Harrington succeeded in locating the
sites OF some Of the former rancherias
mentioned in the records of the mis-
sion
"On June 10 Mr.. Harrington pro-
ceeded to Arroyo Grande, where he
worked for week with q poor, sick
old woman, the sole survivor of the
San Luis Obispo Indians. The Inn
portance of the immediate resciing
of her language and the other infor-
nation which she can furnish can
hardly be overestimated.
"The latter part of July and the
month of August were spent in San
Diego working with Chumashan in
formant The period from September
/ to December 81 was spent at San

alton of the San Luis Obspo and other
material. Interesting results of the
work are the finding of the existence
of totemic clans among the Indians

SICK LIST OF THE ARMY.

The statistics brought forward in
the weekly reports OF the United
States public health service with re-
gard to sickness in the army are not
reassurlng. For the calendar year
1914 the average daily number Of dis
abled persons per thousand In the
army by the reports of the surgeon
general. was 1911. Figures collected
from about 200 labor unions in a bull
letin OF the New York department of
labor give 1906 days of those in in
dustrial employment. The discrepan-
ICY is especially disturbing In view of
the fact that the men In the army are
carefully selected for their physical
condition and those who are persist
emily unwell are excluded. To the
ubiquitous official investigator a new
