MOSQUITOES ANCIENT ORIGIN
History Traced Back to PERIOD
1000 Years Ago.

Prof. I. d. Cockrell of the University
of Colorado. writing on the probable
antiquity of the mosquito as shown by
geological record. says that the oldest
forms actually identified as belonging to
the genus culeX or other genera of the
mosquito family have been found in
Eocene rocks and are probably about
two million years old.
A form known as CuIeX damnatorum
has been described by Scudder from the
Green river beds Of Wyoming. Another
Eocene species has lately been discov-
cred by D. E. Winchester of the United
States geological survey near Cathedral
Blum, in western Colorado, and is to
be called Culex winchester.

has been moderately successful in so doing. And,
to great extent that form of capital seeking profit
in trade and manufactures has sought same ends.
in the same way.
Each advance in cost of living on account of the
subtle influence of rent has been met by labor with
a successful demand for increased wages. Each in
chease in wages is met by profit with demand for
higher prices That is why wages provisions, and
other commodities advance continually. Profit and
wages are trying to recoup themselves from the gen.
era fund from the exactons that rent has placed up
on it. And in the end neither has succeeded in doing
any better than before. The situation was describ
ed most accurately by Of Swinnerton) Us cartoons
the columns of "The Oasis" one day last week. 1t
represented dog chasing his TAIL his frame bent in
circle with his nose about two inches behind the
tip of the TAIL with the animal straining every
and fibre in his composition to overcome the small
gap between nose and tail.
Where is the remedy? Congressional enact
ment cannot change economic laws; and such remed-
les as are proposed and tried prove futile. By re-
cent act of Congress profiteering methods
were put under the ban of the law. Under
that act of Congress from cities all over the
country has been loaded with accounts Seizure of
butter eggs and other provisions, with their sale
upon the open market. Yet prices are higher now
than ever before. Eggs were eighty cents per dOz-
en- in Nogales last Saturday and butter was equally
high, while the same truth applies to long list of
other cOmmOditiSe.
The problem Of the time is to meet the great in
crease the world is experiencing in rent without en-
croaching upon profit and wages in which compet-
iton the burden of loss in former generations has
always been put upon wages.

development of the country's ideals.
In word, he cannot become a true
American.
To abolish the foreign language
press would be gratuitous cruelty.
To compel the immigrant to learn
English within say, five years of his
arrival here, would be true kindness
to him, and no more than justice to
his fellow Americans
We have quoted Theodore Roose-
welt. No man ever put the spirit of
Americanism more accurately into
words, and no man ever more truly
embodied that spirit in his life and
deeds.
The week of October 20-27 is to
be given up to campaign by the
Roosevelt Memorial Association for
the spreading of his ideals and be-
liefs throughout the country, and to
the gift of money for the building of
permanent memorials in his memory.
There is perhaps nothing that he
could have wished more earnestly
than the complete Americanization of
every man and woman who seeks ref
uge in this country.
And he wished it not only for their
abiding benefit, but for the cause that
shaped his entire life, the good OF
the United States.

AMERICANISM OR BOLSHEVISM?

~ hall we be stampeded again into attacking in
- dustries merely because they are large?
~ Political campaigns are inaugurated by national
y ambitious politicians against the packing compan-
les and oil companies.
If business man, desirous of cutting down ex-
penses should discover that his costs were divided
into three general charges comprising IS percent,
1896 percent and 204 percent respectively of the
total would he turn his attention first to the 204 per
cent charge or even the 1896 percent charge? Of
every dollar that the American public pays for pack
ing house products IS percent passes through the
packers hands to the stock raiser while sc cents
60 to pay expenses labor and freight and only 2O4
cents remain as the packers profit. Which of the
three would to offer the best opportunity for
material reduction in the cost to the public?
In jumping on the profiteers it is safe to say
that the government won't tackle any class that has
many votes. 1t will say nothing about farmers pro-
fiteering, the laboring class profiteering. But
it will attack the few retailers in the country
of the rich companies and few uninfuential offend
ers. Great is politics.
But is such politics Americanism or is it pure
Bolshevism?

topic. He said: "It is a base outrage
to oppose a man because of his re-
ligion or birthplace, and all good citi-
zens will hold any such effort in alb
horrence A Scandinavian, German,
or an Irishman who has really become
an American has the right to stand on
exactly the same footing as any ma
tive-born citizen in the land, and is
just as much entitled to the friend
ship, social and political, of his
neighbors.
Again Roosevelt spoke truth.
The problem resolves itself into
one question: Can an immigrant be-
ccme a good American citizen with
out learning the language of the
Declaration of Independence?
He does not attend night schools;
factory schools are at best sporadic
and occasional effort on the part of
the factory owner. In word, the
immigrant has at this time no specific
incentive to learn the language, with
out which he must remain foreigner
in interests, in sympathies and in his
economic life, a prey to the cheap
politician and the real estate shark.
Without ability to speak and read
and write English he cannot become
self-reliant; he cannot become inde-
pendent; he cannot take his place in
the life of the country and in the

n FOREIGN LANGUAGES MAKE
US TONGUE TIED.


1t is not recorded how many were
the tongues of Babel 1t is on record
that in the United States there are
IT languages and dialects in use to-
day.
A native language is rooted deep
in association and perception; it is
difficult to change. So is nationality.
Yet we do not hesitate to ask and ex-
pect the immigrant to our shores to
undergo the latter. Furthermore,
it is his duty to do so. He comes
here, to speak colloquially, for what
there is in it. He has not been fore
ed, or even asked to come He is in
honor bound to become an American,
and we are in duty bound to see that
he does.
Foreign languages in America are
so many Chinese walls, debarring the
racial groups from full intercourse,
from real fellowship, from social feel
ing.
1t has been said that half the racial
hatred of the Old World has been bred
by the forced change, or attempted
change of tongues. 1t was wrong
in Germany and Russia to attempe
to force their languages upon the
people of Poland. BUT they were
Poles, living in Poland.
Is it wrong for US to attempt to
make an immigrant speak English
when English is the native tongue of
the land he has chosen for his own?
Theodore Roosevelt was the friend
of the immigrant, and he was the
flaming champion of Americanism.
On this subject he said: From his
own standpoint it is beyond all ques-
tion the wise thing for the immigrant
to become thoroughly Americanized.
Moreover-from our standpoint, we
have right to demand it. We freely
extend the hand of welcome and of
good-fellowship to every man, no
matter what his creed or birthplace,
who comes here honestly intent on
becoming a good United States citi-
zen like the rest of US; but we have
right, and it is our duty, to demand
that he shall indeed become so, and
shall not confuse the issues with which
we are struggling by introducing
among US Old World quarrels and
prejudices.
Roosevelt said this in 1894. 1t was
true then, and it is true today, with
an added significance, for with the
ending of the war, q new flood of i'm
migrants will come to US for the free
dom and opportunity that their own
countries cannot give.
We have in this country more than
100000 foreign-born over sixteen
years of age, who can neither read
nor write the English language. To
our very definite shame we have some
100000 native-born negroes who
can neither read nor write. But
they can at least speak the tongue of
their country.
What reason is there that we should
not insist that the immigrant learn
the language within a given term of
years?
We lave strong foreign-language
press; which deals most exclusively
in matters effecting racial group;
which does not print American news
to any extent; and which does not,
being human, make vast effort to
urge its readers to learn English.
The = complete r-mindedness of
Theodore Roosevelt is shown in an
other statement of his on the same

The track is in excelrent condition
after it's use by the Tri-State fair
