The World and All
WORDS. WORDS. r
By Charles P Driscoll

Words have a strange fascination for me. / can
not remember when / was not interested in them. The
histories of words, their origins and their associations,
are among the romantic stories that have held my at
%tention very tenaciously.
The different usages enjoyed by words in differ
ent parts Of the United States are very amusing to
study, and the localisms Of various localities are posi-
lively enchanting. Of course / am best acquainted
with the localisms and colloquialisms of the west,
middle west, north and southwest. as those are the
regions where / have spent most of my time.
In Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas there is a distinct
tendency to double up and hyphenate. Where one
word would serve, two words are used in conjunction.
These southwestern folk are by nature generous, and
they are a bit lavish in the expenditure Of good things.
So they use two good words instead Of one.
In that delightful region, for instance, a river is
never merely full. 1t is always bank-full. Not only
in conversation, but in the newspapers, the rivers,
when in flood. are always reported bank-fulL.
An oven is a bake-oven. Now, there is something
quaint and just in that. Why say oven, and leave the
thing cold, when you can warm up the expression so
easily by calling it a bake-oven?
A church, in the Southwest, is a church-house. I
we'll remember the favorite threat of the angered
swain at the pie-social, when l was growing up. "T1l
meet you at the church-house!" he cried, as a chal-
.lenge to his rival, who had had the effrontery to buy
a pie and eat it with the ~prettiest girl. That meant
there would be a great fight, next prayer-meeting
night, on the pasture lot just back of the ~neighbor-
hood church.
A pane Of glass is a window-light. Back is in-back,
but this peculiarly redundant expression is not con-
fined to the southwest. / hear it in almost every part
of the country. Under, with many of the Arkansas and
Missouri folk, is in-under. And hillside is often side
hill.

In this capacity, it was up to him
when the present congress met, tc

Democrats a chance U crow about

the Democrats claim credit, we're

If a country were engaged In a war which 1t was
itself helpless to prosecute, and it loaned to other
countries engaged in the same conflict the guns,
shells, uniforms, chemicals, food and other necessaries
of war which they used in combating the common
enemy, and these things were consumed in the pro.
cess, although loans are loans, some will question
whether the lending country would be justified in de-
handing from its partners, especially il they had made
vastly greater sacrifices in the conflict than its own,
the payment Of all that they might be able to pay for
several generations.
Our partners in the war gave half q million lives
and saw a million Of their men disabled in holding the
enemy back while the war was our war and we were
taking no part in it's sacrifices and dangers. We fur
Inished the uniforms which these men wore, the rifles
they carried, the shells they fired, the food and to-
bacco they consumed. and we sent them food and
clothing for their wives and children. That is to say,
we sold these things to their government at double and
treble their normal prices and lent them the money
with which to pay.
In arranging for the settlement Of such loans, con-
gress, with a spirit Of wisdom and fairness, instructed
the Debt Funding Commission to devise such terms as
they believed ito be just" and congress, trusting that
they had done SO, rapidly and hlindly accepted the
commissions recommendations with little scrutiny and
without the slightest change. -
Careful study Of the commissions reports reveals,
however, no evidence that the commission devoted any
attention to the equities that were involved.
There may be those who believe such settlements
will stand, but ] have too much confidence in the
judgmnt and conscience Of the American people to be
OF their number.

r IN A NEW ROLE

(CnrlsLl&n Science MOnlpOr1
How radical a change the attitude of the captains
if ever, been more clearly set forth than in the speech
of Charles VI. Schwab before the American Society Of
Mechanical Engineers. That the change in relationship
between the employer and workers which has been
wrought in recent years is nothing short Of revolu-
tionary he made very plain. And as q result, strikes,
Ilockouts, and other Improbable interruptions to the
peaceful progress Of industry have been all but elm
mated.
A unique feature of the present situation is the
recognition by industrial leaders Of the necessity for
prosperity among the workers in order that they may
become large consumers Of the products Of industry.
II industry is to function TO its capacity, products
must find ready market. This can be insured in the
highest degree only as the workers themselves are in
financial condition to become purchasers, not only Of
daily necessities, but in some degree Of so-called lux
uries as well; and established industry includes the
making of many articles which would be so classed.
Mr.. Schwab said:
I'VE have come to a new viewpoint toward the
payment Of wages. Our better relations have brought
a greater understanding Of the reciprocal value to ma
tional w~ell-being Of a class Of ~well-paid workers whose
buying power is sufficient to take the output Of our
mass production"
This economic policy first voiced by Henry Ford,
or, at least, first put into large operation by him, finds
echo in a basic steel industry, producing not a finish
ed product which the workers would purchase, but a
material which is utilized in the great building indus
tries of the world. There could hardly be a more
striking illustration of the awakening on the part Of
employers to the fact that, if the national we'll being
is to be realized to the full there can be no class Of
~underpaid workers living in poverty.

fighting. Probably Mayor Thompson has just discov-
cred that the Marquis Of Queensbury was a British

full gigantic bridge connecting two of
the country's largest cities was being
formally opened. At the height OF
the celebration, when hundreds Of
people had thronged onto the bridge,
the center span-with a crash to be
heard for miles-fell into the river,
a mass Of twisted girders and human
bodies. The frenried mayor, seeing
the engineer, dashed up to him.
Look what you have donel" he cried.
The engineer, without the slightest
expression on his face, replied, "You

They're fellow Democrats. It's the
nomination they'll fight for.
Members of congress are wonder
ing if Garrett can win. Reports
from Tennessee imply that he was re-
turned as representative pretty
skimpily last time. Some think this
makes his senatorial chances look
rather dubious.
It's immateEial to Garner.
