The Word Snuaw

The word squaw, the term for an
Indian woman, is said to have been
taken from the language of a band of
Indians in New England known as the
Narragansets, and is probably an alb
breviatiOn of the word eskwaw. Years
ago the word was carried over the
length and breadth of Canada and the
United States, and came to be used
even by the Indians on the western
reservations, who have taken it from
the whites. A "squaw man" Is an Indian
who does wOman's work; also a white
man married to an Indian woman and
who lives with her people. After the
squaw have been named, squaw berry,
the partridge berry; squaw flower, the
plant known as trillium erecttum !;
squaW mint. the American pennyroyal !;
squaw winter, used in parts of the
Canadian Northwest to designate a
mild beginning Of winter.

ELECTION NEWS
COMES SLOWLY
Usual Right of Way Given Re-
suits Found to Be I'm.
possible.
WARS FIRST CALL ON WIRES
Shortage of Operators Also RESPONSE
Bile for Delay Which Is Unavoid-
abIe-EarIy Returns From Three
Congressional Districts.

Election returns had no right of way
over the telegraph lines of the coun-
try last night.
The usual bulletin service of the two
| telegraph companies, which has been
| a feature of election returns for years,
was abandoned this year by reason of
wartime congestion and shortage of
/ operators.
AS result the actual outcome of
the struggle for state officers and for
the control of congress- which is being
watched with eager and intense inter-
, est at the White House, as well as in
the other capitals of the world, is still
in doubt.
1t is possible that the delay in re-
turns and uncertainty in the final re-
suit may equal that of the presidential
election Of two years ago, when at
least fOrty-eight hours elapsed before
definite data was Obtainable.
The action of the telegraph compa-
MES in dispensing with the customary
bulletin service was taken at their
own initiative, they announce, because
of lack of facilities, due entirely to
prevailing conditions. The post Office
department says government authori-
ties did not specifically raise the ques-
tiOn and the course of the companies
undoubtedly was dictated by necessi-
ties of the situation.
Early returns give the following re-
suits: For congress, Seventh district,
John j. Esch (Rep.) Tenth James A.
Frear Rep); Eleventh, Adolphus P.
Nelson (Rep) elected.
Figures on the state ticket were so
inadequate that it was impossible to
tell results. The managers of both
parties expressed confidence.
