FEAR DESTROYED
How 1t Started
"FAKER."
BY JEAN NEWTON

The word faker. used TO express
a petty swindler or froud. is a slang
corruption OF the legitimate "fakir"
and is history reveals a colorful
story.
A fakir or "fakeer' was a wan
dering dervish. the dervishes cor
responding in the religious orders OF
Islam to the Christian monks. The
dervlshes took similar vows OF pow
erty and austerity and lived in mon
asteries or travelled from place to
place IS wandering 'friars. It was
these. latter dirvishes. begging for
aims, who were named fakir Cfrom
the Arabic "faqu.r' meaning poor.
Since these fakirs frequently gave
a mystic performance OF sleight-of-
hand exhibitions for the gratuity
they received, the word came to be
used In derogatory sense. paTticu-
larry in India, with reference to the
itinerant beggars and wonder work
ers Of all sects.
1t is readily conceivable how the
word changed only with the ang-
Of "e" instead Of e." should
be extended in meaning until it be-
came synonymous with charlatan and
swindler in a general sense.

You really have to have a little prac-

for several reasons politics does not

that the petition was weapon OF

If the presenting Of this petition to
the governor failed to impress him
as weapon of political pressure it
would nevertheless have served the
purpose its authors intended. that in
tention being the placing before the
chief executive of the state n written
protest carrying the names of numer-
Gus Mexicans of the anti-American
type and not n few fanatic Ameri-
cans expressing their dislikes as to
the legal execution Of the law. and
the carrying out OF the verdict Of
death as returned against the man
who is now resting in his grave.
We all should know that all Mexi-
cans are not brutes, and that all
brutes are not Mexlcans, but in this
case a certain correspondent TO The

This may easily apply TO all other

into this argument.
All those processing TO be Christ
ians should know that il a sinner
turns TO Christ and accepts Him as
their Savior they will without a
doubt receive everlasting life. We
should remember the thief on the
cross. l do not pretend TO claim that
because this man committed murder
in cold blood. or that because he was
Mexican that he is, or was lost,
nor do l believe that all his prayers
and searching for the Lord and sal

In conclusion let me suggest.

Why wait until a man dies. or is TO

offering him aid. This man now dead
