There are some unpronounceable
names In the United States. From
Schenectady to WytopUlock there
are a few linguistic squirms that bid
us pause But for complete para
lysis of the vocal chords listen to
theee place names from the various
districts of Australia: The West
Australian Government started off
by giving to new districts such na
tive names as Wyalcathem, Cower
gabbie. Wldgemooltha, Popanvlning.
NoKgojerrii'g. These were capped
recently by Benjabboring, Gobble
gutting, and Inkiepinkie. In New
South Wales there are scores of ex
traordinary names, such as Cuppa
cumbalong and Jerrabomderra, near
Queanbeyati, Timbriebungie, Watta
mondarra, Mulhjngudgerry, Barran
ganyatti, and the familiar Woolloo
mooloo Who, after these, would
?ay that American names are ugly?
There is a very good story go
ing the rounds, which, whether true
or not. forcibly illustrates conditions
that are constantly arising In gov
ernment affairs.
Senator Henry Ashurst of Ari
sona called on Secretary of the In
terior Fisher the other day to pro
test a ruling that overturned pre
vious rulings of the department of
thirty years' standing. After ask
ing Secretary Fisher a number of
questions. Senator Ashurst. smiling
blandly and in good humor, told
him plainly he certainly was Incom
petent for his position.
"Why," exclaimed Secretary Fish
er, after he had got his breath,
"that is an insult to a cabinet of
ficer."
"Not at all," retorted the Ari
zona Senator. "I am only speak
ing the truth. You admit by what
you have told me that you know
nothing of the conditions In the
mining states, and that you never
tried a mining case I have asked
you if you know the meaning of a
half dosen terms used In mining
and you say you do not. Doesn't
that prove your Incompetency?"
The secretary used some forceful
language, but Senator Ashurst
maintained his good nature and
merely emphasized his original state
ment.
Secretary Fisher had ruled that
there could be no prospecting for
valuable minerals as practiced for
more than a quarter of a century;
that the miner must discover It on
the surface and not sink any Bhafts.
The ruling Is said to be in the
interest of the corporations against
the poor miner.
A DOGS' TALE
Dedicated to
CAPTAIN BAUGHMAN
of the good ship Humboldt
1? ?
Captain Baughman of the Hum
boldt, himself an old sea dog, has
but little admiration for the common
dog of the canine species There is
a reason for it. His is an acquired,
not a natural animosity toward dog
kind, as will be seen by the follow
ing story, written by one who heard
the Captain tell it :
"Take that! and that!! and
that!!! you sons of brutes," howled
the first mate of the SS. Humboldt,
as that vessel slowly felt its wax
up the unfamiliar waters of the in
side passage in the early days of
the great rush to the Klondike in
1897.
With each shout of the burly
mate. a form couched on the deck
of the ship could hear the heavy
sea-boot of the Infuriated officer
come In contact with a yielding
form, and while many times there
was no sound of remonstrance, still
once in a while a growl of pain or
hatred couid be heard through the
thick cloud of fog which obscured
the shore .ine and even the bow of
the ship from the watchful gaxe of
the pilots in the pilot house of the
ship carrying its freight of humans,
mad with the lust for gold, and
crowded into the ship taxing its ac
commodaticr.s to (he very utmost.
It was not hatred which made
? the mate go about the upper deck
kicking the 200 or more chained
dogs, each one in iU turn; no fair
reader, it was a humane act he was
performing lit those days, the
days of '97, each ship leaving the
port of Seattle, in addition to the
gold seekers, as many as 300 dogs
were also shipped, and as the ships
reached the narrow waters of the
Inside Passage, oftentimes the pilots
were reduced to the expediency of
blowing the ships steam whistle in
order to find how close their ship
was to the treacherous rocks, when
the dense iogs would enshroud their
craft, and It was then that these
same dogs would set up such an un
<>arthly howl that the answering
f-cho, which was eagerly hearkened
for, would be drowned.
There was only one way to pre
vent the mongrel hord of deck pas
sengers from answering in their
dumb manner the shrill wall of the
steam whistle, and that was to cre
ate a sense of fear, and this the
mate would do with his heavy boot,
tnd just refore the whistle was
blown. he would open the window
of the pilot house and yell at the
dofs, and they would lay and cower
ill the nark i.-d dani^ross, while
the echo from the shore was heard
oy those looking for the safety of
their boat and passengers.
Up to University Men to
Stamp Out America's
Hoodlum Element
By Professor EDMUND J. JAMES. President of University
of Illinois
? 4
CHE OBLIGATION RESTS ON UNIVERSITY MEN TO UPHOLD
OBEDIENCE. TO LAW. A TENDENCY TO LAWLESSNESS IS
TOO COMMON A QUALITY OF OUR AMERICAN CITIZENS
INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE UNIVERSITIES.
Wc may have to change the character of student jollifications alto
gether if we cannot prevent the hoodlum element from appearing.
Efforts to force free shows or free rides should bo NIPPED IX
THE BUD BY THE STUDENTS THEMSELVES.
The way to do this is for each individual to leave the body as soon
as a tendency to lawlessness shows itself. There is NO SICH
THING AS AN IXXOCEXT BYSTANDER IN A RIOT.
