Fremont Schmidt, president
of the Minnesota Editorial AS
ISOLATION, in his Springfield Adj
vance-Press, expresses thought
that will bear looking into
when he. says: pave more
highways. That is the way to
utilize the surplus labor in the
country. If some of the money
that is going into projects OF
doubtful value could be di-
verted to highway construction,
the public would enjoy the
benefits in many ways. Paw.
ing roads increases employment
all the way from the cement
mills to the road paved. II
stimulates the iron ore industry
on which so many Minnesotan's
depend. 1t helps the rail
roads," The crux in his argu-
ment is contained in the follow
ing sentence in which he says
"why not use the unemployed
labor to pave roads instead OF
paying out unemployment in.

Name Canada L. Derived
From Iroquois Indians

The derivation Of the name Can
ada accepted by our leading histo-
rians who have investigated the rec
ords makes 1t an Iroquois word, still
surviving among them In the form
''kanata," meaning a collection Of
dwellings, or a settlement. Cartier,
In one Of his yocabularies Of the
Iroquois speech, says Of it, they
call town (ville) Canada" Its evo-
luton into our place-name Canada
can be fully followed in the narra-
tives Of Cartier, wherein 1t appears
first in his account Of his second
voyage In 1885, states a writer In
the New York Herald Tribune.
The two Iroquois Indians whom he
had seized at Gaspe and taken to
France the preceding year informed
him on entering the Great River
(now the st. Lawrence) that their
home was In Canada, which proved
later to be an alternative name for
the village Of Stadacona on the site
Of modern Quebec City. Cartier him
self seems to have extended the
word to the surrounding region as
convenient territorial name, much
as the name Quebec has been ex-
tended from the city to the province.
Accordingly this Interpretation Of
Canada Is well attested by unin-
peachable documents, but the same
Is not true Of several other current
explanations, which are nothing
other than guesses based on chance
resemblanceS between Canada and
certain other Indian or imaginary
roots, e. g. from segnada Canada,

Refused to Vote for Monroe


Historians often state that one
elector withheld his vote from Mon
roe in order to prevent him from
sharing an honor previously grant
ed only to George Washington. This
is a myth, notes a writer in the
Indianapolis News. william Plum
or, Of New Hampshire, was the cleo
tor who refused to vote for Monroe.
He explained the reason for his
action in letter to his son, William
Plumer, Jr., dated January 8, 1921.
He wrote: II was obliged from a
sense Of duty and a regard to my
own reputation to withhold my vote
from Monroe and Tompkins; from
the first because he had discovered
a want Of foresight and from the
second because he had grossly neg
lected his duty" Plumer voted for
John Quincy Adams for President
and Richard Rush for Vice Presi-
dent.

MARIA GREvER, Latin Ameri'
IVA cas- poet laureate of romantic
song, upset the musical traditions
Of a score Of years when early this
year she strayed from the classic
standards to write her first popular
song. She had created nearly five
hundred standard songs, many com
posed for individual stars of the con
cert stage, when she evolved the
light gay number, "Ti-Pi-Tin."
Now "Ti-Pi-Tin" is to Maria
Grever what the Prelude is to Rach-
maninoR, or the Minuet to Paderew.

musical personality. She likes to

was hailed as composer and artist
Of the concert stage, before she dis
covered that she also had the touch
Of q popular songwriter. And as
Rachmaninof emissions heaven as a
place where his Prelude never is
heard, she can picture her paradise
as q region not ringing with the
rhythm Of "Ti-Pi.Tin."
Maria Grever never regarded "Ti-
P-Tin" as more than q passing
fancy, and reluctantly consented to
its publication early in the year,
when friends who heard 1t in her
studio pressed her to give its gay
melody and lifting lyrics to the
world of popular music lovers. Ray.
mond Leveen, A.S.C.A.P., wrote the
English lyrics.
Maria Grever's career in song has
been international. A native Of
Mexico City, she was reared in
Spain. Returning to her native
land, master OF piano, violin and
guitar, she sang with a velvety
coloratura soprano. Her patrician
family frowned upon her theatrical
aspirations. Married at fourteen,
she found her husband in sympathy
with her ambitions for a career in
music. A chance recording of one

Here And
There

One of our exchanges, in a re-
cent issue, says, prosperity is
not just around the corner. 1t is
here for those who will go out and
get it." Which makes this column
list wonder to whom reference is
made when they say chose"
Does it mean that any of the
10000, 900 unemployed can step out
in the street and grab a slice of
prosperity as it passes by?
We know full well it means moth
ing of the kind.
If it means anything at all it
means that some few of unusual
talent, some few with initiative and
courage, some few with keen in
sight and determination, can find
it possible through the exercise of
these unusual powers to wrest
from their environment a measure
of we'll being entirely outside the
ordinary persons capabilities.
These dynamic persOnages are
so few and far between that to
employ them as inspiration for
ordinary folks is worse than use
less.
What, then, eventually, must, be-
come of the millions who have now
become public charges? They can
not always remain as mendicants
upon the government. In the final
analysis, their care will bankrupt
the government, rich though it
may be.
Business must be restored to its
normal functiOning power. Business
must absorb this multitude of pO-
tential workers, or business, as an
independent entity, must cease to
exist. Some form of a tOtalitarian
state will inevitably take it's place
like the Nazi government of Hit
ler's Germany, or the Fascist gov
eminent of MussOlini's Italy.
l do not at this place or time
seek to argue the merits or de-
merits of these forms of govern
ment.
There are those, many millions
strong, who stoutly declare the eff
ficacy of these departures from
recognized methods of state con-
troll. There are many more millions
who look upon them with a fear
that approaches dread.
The thought / would impress is
that, however we may look upon
them, it is imperative that we do
look and analyze the conditions we
face with an open mind. That we
credit our official leaders with a
sincere attempt, if a divided one,
to find pathway out of the wilder
ness of doubt and uncertainty that
enclOses us. That we give our most
earnest support to men and meas
ures our deliberate and studied rea-
sOning seems to show are best.
AS a minority group for whom
prosperity at its best has been
hedged about with many declivities
and for whom a returned prosperi-
ty promises but little more, l would
urge an even more intense scrutiny
and study of the conditions present
and to come. l would urge an even
clearer realization of the fact that,
if prosperity is not just around the
corner; if it is not here now for
anyone to take who has the will,
