THE RIGHT MAN FOR SPEAKER

The republican caucus of the
house Of representatives for the
next congress did wise thing
when it selected Mr. Gilett Of Mass
hchusetts for speaker of the house
in place of Mann of Illinois. Mr..
ship, was by precedent entitled to
it, and in some ways deserved to
have it. Just the same, making him
speaker would have been risky
thing to do.
Mr.. Mann is an extremely able
politician and parliamentarian. AS
minority leader in democratic
house he represented his party well.
But at the same time he stirred up
strong opposition to himself by his
war attitude before this country
went into the struggle. Justly or
not, he got the name of being pro-
German, and the name stuck, even
though no fault can be found with
the Mann record while we were at
war What republicans thought
about it can be seen in the 1918
election returns in Mr.. Mann's own
district He was reelected, but his
majority was considerably less than
in previous elections, and compared
very poorly indeed with the repub-
Iican showing in other parts of the
country. 8,
Naturally, the republicans who
are organizing the machinery of the
next house are anxious to avoid
even the appearance of evil. After
spending long and trying period
in the minority they are anxious
not to do anything that will endan-
ger their newly won control. In
Mr.. Gillett they will have leader
fully as capable as Mr.. Mann, and
without any embarrassing flaws in
his war record. Further. he has
not Mr.. Mann's handicap of uncer-
tain health. The republicans have
started their organization program
well by a speakership choice that
i will be best for all concerned

His kesh.p's" Conversation.

That serpents are less mute than we
think is shown by w. III. Hudson in his
reminiscent volume of naturalist en-
plorations in the Argentine pampas
He specifies the Philodryas oestivus-
a beautiful and harmless colubrine
snake, 2ia to 3 feet long, marked all
over with inky black on vivid green
ground-and states that it not only
emitted sound when lying ufftlis-
turbed in its den. but several individu-
ais would hold together conversa-
ton that seemed endless. 1t was a
kissing conversation, though not un-
modulated or without considerable va
riety. "A long sibilation would be
followed by distinctly heard ticking
sounds, as Of a husky-ticking clock,
and after 10 or 20 or 80 ticks. another
hiss, like a long-expiring sigh, some
times with a tremble in it, as of dry
leaf vibrating in the wind No sooner
would one cease than another would
begin and so 1t would 90 on. demand
and response, strophe and anti
strophe; and at intervals several
voices would unite in a kind of long
mysterious chorus. death-watch or
hiss"

Vehicle Market in Siam. /

Owing to the low-lying and often in
undated plains of southern Siam, in
which most Of the rice farming is
done and in which road making is diff
icult, and also the fact that transpor-
tation is easily afforded by the numer-
GUS canals which traverse the country
in every direction, there is not likely
to be any extended demand for farm
wagons or other vehicles for the use
of the Siamese farmer. 1t seems, how
ever, that considerable attention will
be given to road making in Slams
principal cities. notably In Bangkok,
and that therefore line Of municipal
vehicles will be needed in the near

LAWS PRINTED IN GERMAN
How the State of Indiana Catered to
the Teuton Element In the Fifties
and Sixties.

Time was when the Indiana general
assembly directed that its laws be
printed in German as well as in Eng
lish-but never more, observes the In
dianapOlis News.
In 1852 the legislature enacted a
statute that its laws passed at that
session should be printed in German
and ono copy distributed to each Of
the clerks Of the judicial circuits. BY
Joint resolutions of the senate and
house the session laws of the special
session of 1853, the regular session OF
1859, the regular session of 1861, the
special session of 1861, and the regu-
lar session Of 1867 were printed in
the German language. The revised
statutes Of 1858 were ordered printed
in German.
Mrs. Edward Franklin White Of the
law editorial department Of the Bobbs-
Merrill, company, believes the print
ing Of the acts in German was no part
of the propaganda for "kultur," which
has been so exposed Of late, but she
rather believes that Indiana was max
ing a special bid for settlement by
Germans along with other foreigners
who were westward bentH She says
all sorts of inducements were held
out in the fifties and sixties to attract
colonization in Indiana and cites, as
another of the Inducements, the lax
constitutional provisions CONSTITUTION

at least the right to vote

Civilization Fatal to Eskimo.

Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Arctic ex-
plorer, to whom the Charles P. Daily
medal was presented by the American
Geographical society for his "valua-
BILE contributions to science" pleaded
that no efforts be made to civilize the
Eskimo tribes Of the far North. All
such previous efforts, he stated, had
resulted disastrously for the natives.
One tribe of 5000 discovered in 1925
by an English explorer, he said, was
now reduced to only 40 persons
through adoption of civilized mode
Of living, which was unsuitable for the
friRid cline.
