Origir, of Slang

Originally, slang stood for the jar
gon deliberately adopted as kind OF
secret language by certain classes
The word. for instance, has been
traced back to the slang" or letters
worn by convicts, and the words
which they used to mislead their war
dens became known as slang.
Whether this is the real explanation
or not is uncertain-various other
origins of the term have also been
suggested-but the fact remains that
slang started as a secret jargon known
only to certain number Of people.
Today the meaning has considerably
broadened, and we speak of slang as
all words and expressions which are
outside the official" language Of our
own times.

DROSSER wants a col

Dresser wants court house
Il built. The committee from that
place that came to Kennewick last
week to interview business men from
this end of the county brot word that
the county was running grave FISK
of losing it's records and that the
county officers were cramped by not
having a suitable building.
= No doubt the county does need
court house and it is possible that q
suitable building could be built at
the figures they now quote. But it is
highly improbable that it would be
done at a cost of even twice the IL
cure they are using. The people OF
this county we find, are in no frame
of mind to have any additional taxes
added to the present burden. -
OF course. Prosser''s principal rea-
son for wanting to start the con-
struction of a court house at this
time is to settle for all time the
matter of the location of the county
seat. The people of this end OF the
county also want this same question
settled, but they don't think any more
of Prosser as that location now than
they did when the matter was put
to a vote. -
Spending money at this time for
this purpose is inadvisable and the
people in this end of the county as a
whole are against it.

were grownup guests.
The first course was oysters on the
half.shell. Her mother observed ap-

demeanor Of her daughter, and thought
to remove some of the solemn1ty ana
restraint of the occasion by letting the
child into the joys Of the dinner. SO
she said:
"Would Elsie like nice oyster!
Elsie looked doubtful, but dutifully
opened her timid mouth, and mother
popped an oyster into it. Elsie closed
her lips, and the mother turned her
attention to her guests and her oys-
tiers. She got to the last oyster on
her plate and then remembered her
child, whose silence and sustained
good manners continued to make q
most delightful impression. So she
turned to the child and asked: would

This means that the struggle to
make garden out of a desert brings
out of men the best there is in them.
With the result achieved, the serpent
of discomfort enters the garden, and
what has been attained by SO much
labor and sacrifice may be lost by a
lack of appreciation of what has al
ready been accomplished.
1t is well that we should give thot
to the wrongs and abuses of the So
cial and governmental order, but it
is also essential that we should give
thot to our social and governmental
heritage.
Perfection in society and govern
ment is not to be expected so long as
the men and women who go to make
up national or social order fall short
of perfection. If we will take good
look within ourselves we may be
able to discover reasons why we have
not yet arrived at the New Jerusalem
When we survey history and look
about the world as it is today, we
Americans will find many reasons tc

Hallowell, April 25.-Staging a rally
in the ninth with the score tied, Wa
terville defeated Hallowell 60 in a
game Of many misplays. The home
team seemed unable to hit in the
pinches and was too anxious in steal
ing bases. The local pitchers played
we'll, Carbino tanning nine and Hinck-
ley five in two innings. The fielding
of Marshall for Waterville was a fea.
ture of the game. He was guilty OF
pure robbery of two good hits. by
Luce and Carbino in the sixth. One
of these balls was hauled in with one
hand.
Donovan started the scoring for Wa
terville in the second by hitting the
base. Hallowell tied the score in the
sixth, Ballard knocking a double with
men on. Waterville again took the
lead in the next inning and was again
tied in the eighth, another double be-
ing responsible for this. In the ninth
Waterville settled all doubts as to ex-
ira innings but putting over four
runs by four hits, one of which was a
two-bagger, and two passes. Hallowell
placed two men On in the ninth and
lost her chance to score on a fly to the
outfield when Church, who was on Sec

to third and thus was nailed by Grant.

German Election
Continued from PAGE One)

te,mired. and from the close of the
pLlls at six O'Clock it was any mans
race as the two chief candidates ran
neck ami neck in the official count.
An advance analysis OF the vote
lndlcates that Won Hindenburg scor-
ed heavily in east Prussia and other
aGrarian areas, polling 100000 more
votes in these sections than did DIR.
Jarres in the March election, while
Or. Marx gained only half a million
more votes than polled by the three
kepuplican parties on that occasion
1t was the flat country and new
voters that aided the field marshal to
ofilcr.
The streets of Berlin were almost
deserted when the final results were
mad known. an all day drizzling rain
having kept the customary election
crC wds indoors. The voting through
ont greater Berlin proceeded in an
orderly fashion despite the heat of
the recent campaign.
Among the features were the heavy
vote pClled by DR.. Marx in the
Rhineland and his showing in Bava-
ria. These advantages, however,
were not sufficient to enable him to
overcome the detection of the Social
ists in Saxony, where he failed to
obtain the party's former vote. In
;chleswig- Holstein Won Hindenburg
aimed 100000 new votes, while the
copies bloc only succeeded in hold
ing its vote of Mar. 29.
The result virlicates the predict
ion made by Won Hindenburg's cam
paign managers, who backed their
ability to mobilize the stay-at-home
vote and also counted on dissenters
in the ranks of the Democratic and
Centre Parties. The Peoples Party
supported the Nationalist candidate.
despite the prediction that DR.. Marx
would receive the active support of
the Catholic electorate of Bavaria.
No matter how the figures are in
terpreted the outstanding accom-
plishment of his election demon
strated the drawing power of Won
Hlndenburg's name, which aided so
materially in bringing nearly 4,000
600 more voters to the polls than
month ago and which primarily ap-
pealed to the sentiment of German
mothers.
Opposing this post war recrudes-
sense of a militant nationalismm was
a candidate proposed by coalition
of the three Republican parties and
which from its conception failed TO
suggest firmly coordr"tod politi-
cal group. DIR. Marx failed to stir
the rank and file of the Social De-
mocracy and kindled only lukewarm
campaign enthusiasm in the ranks of
the Democratic party, which be-
came only an unwilling partner in
the so-called weimar group.
That anti- Cat hOlic faalip0 aJeo
strongly initiated against DR.. Marx
prospects were freely acknowledged
in his immediate surroundings.
Just how far the election of Won
Hindenburg will affect the existing
parliamentary situation or the ten
ure of the Luther Stresemann gov

expected he will take the Republic

MAKES AFFIDAVIT
PAAV0'S MANAGER
DEMANDED Big MONEY

Des Moines, Ia, Apr. 26.-(By A.
P.)-Kenneth l.. Wilson, athletic di-
rector of Drake University. tonight
issued a sworn statement reiterating
his charge that Hugh Quist, man.
ager OF Paavo Nurmi and Willie Ri
tola,. had asked an eXorbitant sum
for expenses for their appearance in
the Drake relays.
In an affidavit he forwarded to G..
P. Wendell, secretary of the Mid
western A. A. U. at Omaha, designed
by Frederick w. Ruben, A. A. u.
national registration committee,
chairman, to inquire into the
charges, Wilson detailed two inter-
views he said he had with Quist at
which expense money was discussed.
The statement was made after
Wilson took exception to a report
by Wendell that Wilson has absolved
Nurmi and Ritola from "any conniv-
ance and that the demands were
made by and for QUIT"
ION January 10. 1925" the affida-
Wit sets forth, II talked with Hugh
Quist. manager of Paavo Nurmi, and
at the Illinois A. c. meet, about an
amateur race at the Drake relays
April %.
"Mr. Quist said the race might be
arranged, provided Nurmis eX-
penses could be agre d on. He sug-
gested that 1t would be from New
York to Des Moines and from Des
Moines to Finland, and estimated
this would be around $1,000.
ION April 10 at the Loyola relays,
saw Quist regarding the appear
ance of Willie Ritola at the Drake
relays. Mr.. Quist again brought up
the matter of expense money and
after had suggested what I thought
would be reasonable, due to the fact
that Ritola was here in the middle
west at the time, he (Mr. Quist)
suggested the sum of $500.
1.-The Drake relay meet consists of
schools and colleges and we are
anxious to give the younger athletes
an opportunity to see these famed
Finnish runners in action. However.
We did not feel that we should al
low more for expenses than we al
low other athletes"
