Origin Of English ldioms.

The why and wherefore of English
idiouls and old expressions, which are
so familiar to US that they no longer
seem strange, must be a source of
some perplexity TO the foreigner learn
ing the language. For instance. how
should he know that when he wishes
to say some one has started an I'M
dertaking and given it up before see
ing it thru. he can say that the man
threw up the sponge?" The phrase
had its origin in the prize-fighters
ring. In former times, when a prize
fighter was badly injured in the first
round, he often declined the sponge
offered to him in the second, or. in a
sudden fit. threw It up in the air. thus
declaring that he had had enough of it.
At one time many years ago the
sleeves of all outer garments were
very wide. Hence. when a person COW
cred his face with his hand, the sus-
picion always arose that he was
laughing at some ones else discom-
future. That is why, when we are in
wardly amused at another. we say we
laugh in our sleeve.
A primitive way for man to COM
nit suicide was to tie one end Of a
rope around a beam or branch Of a
tree and the other around his neck,

ITIsAR REPRESENTATIVE CONGRESS-.

The Times Republican has often or
fered the advice and the warning re-
iterated by the following quotation
from the Cedar Rapids Republican. We
have fallen into an unreasonable and
unjustified habit Of idle sneering and
loose criticism directed at the congress
as a whole almost as dangerous as 1t is
senseless. At present It is being led
by democrat newspapers and other ad-
jutants of the administrative auto-bu-
reaucracy:
The Waterloo Times Tribune says
that neither the republicans nor the
democrats have a real leader In con-
gsess and it suggests that Wilson and
Root be permitted TO settle it. Nom
sense, congress is full Of leaders. The
men We have We always underestimate,
but after they are dead we praise them.
The time has come when We ought to
quit belittling congress. We have
done so much Of it that We are putting
the legislative branch of our govern
ment under a ban. We habitually think
of congress as a nuisance. We have
to the same extent exaggerated the
executive department Of our govern
ment. We began doing it with Roose-
welt. and with Cleveland. who spoke
contemptuously about having q con-
gress on his hands. Put Wilson in a
congressional seat and wherein would
he outshine the rest? We are running
toward a government by executives
and bureaus and commissions. We are
ception of our government 1t Is all
wrong and it will lead to no good re-
suits. Congress is still the biggest in
stitution we have. 1t is still the es-
sence Of the American form Of govern
ment. Then why belittle it?
: very considerable part ot cur pres
ent and past difficulties may be Justly
attributed to the unreasoning public
demand that congress should delegate
its authority and abdicate its province
at the beginning Of the war. That mis-
take is quite well understood by con-
gress and the public now. 1t came by
public pressure induced by the long
campaign Of sneers and derogation Of
congress. We should not, however,
getting away from the legislative con-
make the same mistake over again.
