TRAVELETTE

ny NIKsAH,

The gauchos are the cowboys of
South America. Like the cowboys of
the United States. they are rapidly
disappearing before the advance of
the railroad and the farmer, but lust
as there are few cow-punchers still
alive and functioning outside the wild
west shows and the movies. so there
are still a goodly number of gauchos
yet to be found. almost in their pris-
tine glory, in remote provinces of
Argentina and Brazil.
The cowboy and the gaucho belong
to picturesque profession; and the
Latin-American temperament is much
better fitted to dress the part than is
the Anglo-Saxon. While some cow
boys deck themselves out in a fearful
and wonderful manner many of our
greatest frontier heroes were notable
for their quiet dress. In the days
when string YVES scarce and valuable,
they wore trousers with long buck
skin fringes by way of carrying a re-
serve supply. but the best of them dis
carded leach striking bit of apparel
as soon as circumstances allowed.
The gaucho revels in that sort of
thing His blanket would dazzle a
Navajo Indian, his enormous trousers
are bedecked and ornamerted like
those of a Madrid bu1l-fighter, his
boots are studded with silver. and the
long knife that he always carries is
as ornamental as he can afford. All
this fondness for display. which might
mark weakness in a northerner, is
only the result OF certain boyish-
ness and primitive crudity in the
gaucho. He will endure hardships as
great as any plainsman ever wealth
cred; he will stolidly brave cold. hum
ger, danger. lack of sleep. endless and
tremendous exertion. as a part of the
routine of cattle herdine. without be-
ing conscious of doing anything out of
the ordinary. He certainly leads one
of the hardest lives in the world to-
day. and it is a continual source of
speculation to the visitor whether he
rises above his privatisns or is toe
sto1idly constituted to notice them

The plain lesson from the New

is that woman suffrage can carry in
any state in the North and West. with
the possible exception of a few in
which the backwater, negative element

carried the most conservative state,
the state with the greatest concen-

In the far west it carried California

against the desperate opposition of
similar interests. AS a principle uni
versal suffrage has proven itself ir-

can be delayed only thru inertia. But,

ton are under way. Cubmarine de-
lection and the development of safe
ships are of course coming in for theri

of warfare, for earth and sea, air and

veloped continually to keep pace with
the rapid march of war progress.
American science is awake to the
necessity. But the people dare not sit
back thinking ''all that is being taken
care of" In every European nation at
war the scientific resources of the
country have been modified as a
whole for war purpose. In the United
states, the greater part. of our numer-
Gus laboratories are still pursuing
their accustomed course of peace. Not
until every one of them is made a part

Railroad employees all over the
country are asking for increases in
pay, which seem justified in many
cases by the higher cost of living. But
the interstate commerce commission
has declined to permit an advance in
freight rates by the railroads in suf-
ficient amount to justify the increases
to the men. The public is prone to
forget that it is the shippers and not
the management of the railroads that
must pay the higher wage scales
There are still those so shortsighted
as to cry for higher wages for en-
ployes and lower rates for public SER
vice. The railroad arrangements act
simply as the intermediary between
the public and the employees. They
cannot pay to the employees money
that the roads do not receive.

More than that time has elapsed but

Largest Anchor.

A recently commissioned battleship
is said to be equipped with the worlds
largest anchor, Weighing 10000
pounds. All naval vessels are equip
ped with anchors of the navy type,
which bears so little resemblance to
the traditional type of anchor that
lardsmen sometimes fail to recognize
an anchor for what it is. The navy
type has many advantages over the
old style, notably that it exerts an
equal holding power with a shorter
cable, and cannot foul. About the
only place that the old style anchor
is to be found in the navy today is in
the collar device of the line officers.
