BOY, PAGE MIR. HORNADAY

Senator Dimond, of the Third Division, in troduced bill in the Territorial Legislature, increasing the bounty on eagles from fifty cents to one dollar. That this move will be vigorously fought by Dr. Hornaday and other sentimentalists there is no doubt They have an affection for this predatory bird amounting almost to reverence, nothwithstanding its great destruction of game and fish. Thou sands of eagles have been killed in the Terri tory since the fifty cent bounty went into effect, and now that one dollar is to be paid, the Territory is in for the payment of large sum as there are literally tens of thousands of these birds in the Territory, every salmon stream being literally lined with them in sal mon spawning time. They are also very de- structive to both sheep and goats. the young of which they easily carry to their nests for food.
 The eagle like the wolf, should ho utterly exterminated as soon as possible. They are the greatest destrovers of game and fur known.-Seward Gateway.

THE TAIL OF THE DOG

The nsurgent tail proposes to Wag the party dog in the Sixty-eighth Congress. The mart is to be greater than the whole; the minority is to snap a ring in the majority nose and lead it around on string. The method is to be quite simple
 When the rocks stopped falling after last November's explosion count of noses showed Republican majority. of no more than fifteen in the next House. This includes all manner of political Hessian flies from the wheat regions, stalk borers from the Corn Belt and horn flies from the Cow Country.
 Alhouch. about sixty of these rode into Conoress on Republican wings in the Big Wind of 1922 Twenty of them, even, would be enough to wipe out the thin Republican margin and worry the Administration. Sixty of them, if so minded, can lock the wheels of the Republican machine. Their boast IS they will seize control of the House next December.
 All they demand is the control of the big committees: Ways and Means, Interstate Commerce and Rules Committed G1llet' Graham, Longworth-anybody at all may be speaker, at price The price IS that the radical brethren shall pack the powerful committees.
 While the regular party men will out number them three to one, the radical at titude is that if they don't like 1t then the regulars and the White House may lump It. The new crowd expects to lash itself m the saddle and tangle it's spurs in the glrth.
 Tn order to make the regulars see reason the insurgents are offering that eminent statesman and patriot who opposed Amerlca making war on Germany. Representative Cooper of Wisconsin, as speaker. The hand picked Wisconsin crowd, carefully inoculated with triple-strength La Toilette virus, IS crow1ing Congressman Cooper forward.
 These insurgents are not asking much. All they are asking is to take over the assets of the Republican party. They will be sat1s- fled with dictating chilled-steel, Federal rail ownership acts, a new set of tax laws, job lot of farm credits and soldier bonuses, new outfit of Congressional and Presidential primary laws and dozen or so naturalization measures. There will be some amendments to the Constitution and few minor changes that jerk some of the foundation stones from under the existing Republic, but other than these the radicals will not ask much.

The Senate failed to pass the usual vote of thanks to its presiding officer at the close of the last session because, it is said, Senator Heflin, that disagreeablc personality from Ala bama, who imaoined himself the victim of personal slight, threatened to filibuster against it until the time of adjournment.
 And that is the sort of po' white trash Alabama keeps in the highest legislative body in the land, a man who has no hesitancy in wasting the country's time in order to revenge himself for a fancied grievance. As Sena- tor, Hcflin is mighty good example of what a legislstor should not be.

Many of these ideas are good, of

The ROMANCE OF WORDS

n HATS the cheese" Is q
Z L slang expression far more
common a few years ago than 1t =
Is at the present time, colloquial-
isms having tendency to be
short-lived. But, In spite of the
fact that the phrase was never
formally admitted to polite So
ciety, 1t has an ancestry and a
pedigree Of which many a more
pretentious word might well be
proud. soH -
Tracing 1t backwards, we find
that In the Anglo-Saxon days
the word Cheese was spelled
!. '.cese' and pronounced almost /.
\ precisely like the modern Ger
man equivalent. In Tnsian 1t
was "tzise," while the Latin was
s'caseus' which, In Spanish, de-
veloped into "queso" and In
italian into "cacio." The Celtic
languages slightly changed 1t In
i. to fcais'5 ID Irish, "casse" In
J Gaelic and 4cawS" In Welsh. 1t

original ancestry of the word
/. is lost somewhere In the dim
] passages Of the early history Of
language-but, strange as 1t may
seem, That's the cheese" bears
, mo- relation to the article made

This phrase slipped into Eng
