THE MODERN CARAVAN

modern caravan of twenty-eigh
families recently completed an auto
mobile pilgrimage from Brooklyn, N
r., across the continent to the land
OFF promise, the Roseworth tract, near
] Buhl, in southern Idaho.
The caravan, travelling across man,
states, attracted wide attention, be-
! eaui'e Of its uniqueness, and the pill
grims were triumphantly received upon
their arrival at Bull, by the people of
that city, by state officials and other
notsbEes.
The Rosev5crth tract comprises some
thing like 91OO acres, where these
sasterners, many of whom have never
turned furrow, were to make their
homes on, irrigated farms.
The g, amour is over, the oratory has
passed, and all the festivals in honor
of the travellers are but memories.
Now, hat the tinsel has worn away,
the Sc ttlers-clerks, statesmen, floor
walkers, and their families-are con-
fronte d with the necessity of making
"a living on the sagebrush desert
which, 1t was hoped to revive by the
application of irrigation waters. Some
of hese pilgrims already are dissatis-
fed with their new homes, reports
FROM south Idaho indicate.
1t is limited that, although the pro-
pose d new hopes for the pilgrims may
not have been misrepresented to them
prior to their departure from the east, {
the situation was so cleverly present
ed, and perhaps clothed in general {
ties, rather than described in more S

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
YANkEE."

VIZ HILE the genesis of the
w term yankee" as applied
by the English to Americans in
general, by Southerners to those
residing IN the North and by
Northerners to New Englanders.
Is shrouded In the mists of
colonial antiquity, there are at
least two explanations which
bear the ear-marks of truth and
logic.
The first, and most generally
accepted of these, is that the
word is corruption of the
French Anglais or English
used by the northern Indian
tribes during. the early days of
the colonies. History states that
"Yengeese"' was as close as the
Indians could come to the pro-
nunciation either of the word
"Anglais" or English" and il
is easy to see how this, in turn
could have become transmitted
into Yankee"
Another explanation, trIae
more scholarly, is that Yankee
came either from the Scotch
"yankie" meaning smart ar
shrewd or from the Dutch
"Jankin," which was the djminu-
tive of Jan or John. One an
thority goes so far as to declare
that "Jankin" was the generic /:
name applied to the English set !;
tiers of. Connecticut by the I.
Dutch settlers of New York I
The first known use of the I;
term In print occurred In |.
poem entitled Oppression" (;
published in 1865, in which an /.
feared the line ''From meanness /
first the Portsmouth Yankee .
rose" The coupling of the |
words Portsmouth and Yankee
would appear to bear out tbe I
contention that the term was .
one applied principally to New I
Englanders and therefore orig
Inally of Dutch origin.

PEACE HOPES BLASTED
Sim Feiners Say Leaders Resig-
nation Ends Movement.
Devalera' 10 Reported in Dublin as Ar
nouncino lreIand's Demands
on Britain.

;Dublin-The resignation of Roger N.
Sweetman from the Irish Republican
parliament recently was declared
by prominent Sim Fem leaders to
mark the end of the movement look
ing toward a peaceful settlement of
the Anglo-Irish dispute. The move
ment was Initiated by right wing"
Sim Feiners and other supporters OF
Ireland's campaign for independence.
Mr.. Sweetman and Father Michael
O'Flanagan, the latter acting president
of the Sim Fein. participated conspf
cuously in the peace activities. 1t was
Mr.. Sweetman who proposed early In
December a conference between the
English Labor commission visiting
ireland and the Irish Labor party to
effect truce in Ireland.
Mr.. Sweetman's resignation, which
lis creating big stir in Dublin, was
;the result of what he termed radical
disagreement with the majority of my
itellow members on vital matters Of
policy"
1Coincident with word of Sweetman's
action report that President De Valera
mad outlined Ireland's peace terms
were rife here in connection with re-
port in some quarters that the head of
the Irish Republic" had not left Dub
lin as press dispatches have stated.
According to- these reports De Valera
said the first step toward peace would
be for Great Britain to acknowledge
lreland's right to independence.

RAILROADS Deny

Wants to Reduce Rates Without
Cutting Wages Association
IN Wires Wilson.
LABOR HEADS ACCUSED
TELEGRAM Declares Every Charge Made
Against Railroads Were Misrepre-
sensations Intended to Dis
credit Private Management.

Chicago-Railroads of the country
asked the Railway Labor board to
abrogate the national agreements so
an ultimate reduction in rates with.
out an immediate reduction in wages
might be brought about, Thomas De-
witt Cuyler, chairman of the Associa-
ton of Railway Executives, said in a
telegram to President Wilson, reply
ing to one sent to the chief executive
by representatives OF seven labor
unions.
Labor Charges Denied.
Mr.. Cuyler denied every charge
made against the railroads by the la
Dor leaders in their telegram. declar.
ing that they were deliberate and
gross Misrepresentation and propa'
ganla intended to discredit private
management Of the railroads in the
interests OF the Plumb plan and to
defeat efforts heing made in good faith
to abolish rules and working condi
lions which were war measures"
Mr.. Cuyler said the railroads had
refused conference with labor lead
ers because such a conference could
not adjust conditions for all roads IL
all parts of the country. The roads
however, were willing individually t.
adjust conditions with, their employe.
and were, in fact, urging this on tn
labor board.
Would Postpone Wage Slash.
1.-THE roads request is in the inter
est of the men who work upon thes'
railroads. We recognize that as tn
wages Of railroad employees we're tn.
last to 60 up, they should also be TIL
last to come down. and, If by restoring
the conditions necessary to efficien
and economical operation the rail
roads can postpone for reasonable
period the reduction of basic wage
which ultimately will be required, the!
will be only too glad to do so in tn
interests of the great body Of their EN-
p]oyes.
1.-THE pressing financial necessitie
of the railroads are such that, II dc
MED the opportunity of initial econ
omy through proper rules and worh
ing conditions. their only other re
course must be in reduction O
basic wages.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY. 4, 1927.

Tn agreement with our editorial re-
ference to the water works question IN
last weeks issue. we we're pleased TO
hear ct the mass meeting Tuesday night
n number of the speakers favor nego-
tjations by the city toward taking over
the electric distributing plant as well
As the water plant. Among the speak
crs. there were those who were not De-
1ieyers in municipality owned public util-
ities, but as far as the water plant IS
concerned, conditions make such Il
course necessary, whether q paying
proposition or not. However, we nave
no doubt, whatever, that the voters as
= whole believe in municipal ownership
Of public utilities as principle, but
thew want both systems. There are some
who do not believe in the idea Of mum
icipal ownership, but the loose utter
ances Of some that municipal owner
ship, means waste, extravaganza and
incfficiency, is not borne out by avail
able statistics Of plants throughout the
United States and Canada. That there
are muns~ipal plants which are money
losers and badly run, is no doubt true.
hut this is also true of private plants.
Municipalities have the power in the
matter of larger usage. especially as to
water, that private company would
not have. When once q private plant
makes an investment, be it $2OO,OOO or
100000, it will always figure interest
on the investment, and it is entitled to
do so. Furthermore. municipality
can float bonds at lesser rate than a
privately owned plant and there is no
watered stock. In a municipality, when
once the plant is paid for there is nc
levy for interest payment against the
plant. Why should the city tax itself
on it's paid up investment7 The differ
ence then becomes earnings, properly
distributed to the city and it's citizens
in service and decreased rates.
What makes the present situation IN
relation to the water plant bad, IS
that the plant is not ar Garner, accord
ing to the company, and the price
places on same is present value, in all
probably about two and one-half times
the, original cost of installation. 1t is
TO be seen, if purchased on anyway neal
the company's basis, that it would be
rather a hard hill to climb, until the
plant was On paying basis or capable
-. of producing the outputsat reasonable
largely added to in short time.
The acquisition of the electric dis
tribution plant, if acquired at a reason
able price, and which could be managee
at no great additional cost, would be
money Garner, and help the deficiency
in earning power of the water system
until it could get upon its feet.
No definite knowledge has as yet beer
given ont bv the COMPANY as to wheth
er they would negotiate for the sale Of
the electric distribution system, tn :rc
fore the negotiations, matter Of prlct
and the price Of current is still prob
1en,atiea1.
Many good suggestions were offered
which although not all directly app'i
cable to the proposition at hand, vii
serve to some extent to help the com
mittee and council to strive for a basis
on which the people of the city will bt
willing to finance the undertaking.

the limiting factors in securing Anan-

were: too many varieties, insects and
disease, inferior seed stock, improper
cultivation. As means of eliminating
these factors, it was decided to estab-
lish fewer varieties in the ncighborhood.
To arrange for certified seed for plant
