The veterinarian vote ought. to go to Hughes in November not 'that he is bidding for it, but that a prominent member of -the Administration has gone out of his way to express his contempt for "horse doctors." In his speech at Detroit, Mr. Hughes condemned the President for over riding the Civil Service law, and mak ing appointments for purely political reasons, and among other things con demned his appointment of a veteri nary surgeon for a highly scientific of fice where a veterinarian's training is qualification whatsoever. There i THIS SECTIONAL ADMINISTRATION. ' When called upon to answer state- no tnents that the South donimates the was no reflection on veterinarians In Democratic party and that hence the tno charge.

From the head downward, the Administration is cectlonally Southern. President Wilson, though elected from New Jersey, is a native of "Virginia, and is Southern in Instinct and prejudice. The Vice President of the Senate is fronv Arkan sas, and the Speaker of the House wrote a thousand-word telegram to Mr. Hughes, calling him down. But In the telegram he said: ' "He (Mr. Jones) never was a veterl die, but a star which indicated mem bership in a fake detective agency. Colonel Bill Hanley says that "buck- aroo is a corruption of vaquero. the Spanish-American name for cow herd. Colonel Hanley ought to know for he grew up with the stock country of Central Oregon, acquired the Spanish-like haciendas which Pete French constructed in early days, and in herited some of Pete's Mexican va quero who were brought up from the South in days when California stock men were grabbing- northern water-holes. From "vaquero," with Its accent on the second syllable to "buckaroo," with its accent on the last. Is no more devious passage than from La Creole to Rickreall. But the case is cited only to show what the English-trained tongue can do with a foreign word.

IXDIAX STUMPED BY LETTER R- Inability to Frosiiin it la Cited 1st RlestreaU Dlaewaalam. PORTLAND. Aug. 1 (To the Edi tor.) I do not Intend to become partisan In the good-natured controversy as to the origin or significance of the name of that sparkling little stieam In Polk County, variously called "Rick reall and "La Creole." 'Rickreall" does sot sound to me like an Indian word. The Indian always shys" at the letter "r" and substitutes the let ter "1." If he tried to lay "Rickreall" it would come out "Lick-le-all;" -carbine" is "col-a-plne." I do not recall one word in which the Indian will give "r" a full round sound. For Instance, on one occasion when asked If he "liked crickets" as a food. an Indian said, "kllcket, wake close muc-a-muc nlka tlckey rabbit, mean Causes eg Pel la arm. enemy in the form of liquid fire that tha ?","ZTJrV'. cannot be extinguished and will con- tlnuous use of a diet too rich in atarct. tinue to burn for days; it can be em- and sugar and too poor in protein.

We have no evidence that the nuns of Mexico had acted in an unladylike manner, but they were dishonored and turned loose on the world by the gen tlemanly troops of varlouB factions. Pacifism has led its advocates to start with the theory that Americans who become Involved In foreign trouble are always wrong, that the foreigners who molest them are always right, and that, if our citizens abroad were but lawful, competent and gentlemanly, there would be no trouble. The theory extends to the point where, when trouble comes, the educated, civilized American must always yield to the un educated, half-barbarous Mexican or having greatest power over the purse and patronage the heads of Treas ury, Postoffice, Navy, Agriculture and Justice Departments.

Hence lumber went on the free list with mild protest, from the Southern yellow pine belt, and Pacific Coast protests were not heeded. The South is not an important producer of grain and dairy products, so duties on these commodities were repealed or reduced without regard to the effect on Oregon and other states. The sectionalism, even parochialism, of the South was never more clearly demonstrated than in the military re organization controversy. Chairman Hay, of the House committee, takes the typical Southern viewpoint and on his demand Congress continued tc rely on the forty-eight little armies of the states for a second line of National defense.

R1C KjREALL AXD BUCKAROO The Oregonlan does not intend here. In to be understood as casting its vote one way or the other in the Interesting discussion as to the origin of the name of Mr. J. T. Ford's favorite stream. The understanding which many have that Rickreall Is a corruption of "La Creole" and not an original Indian name merely serves to remind us that the origin of the name "Oregon" is clouded with doubt, and that we have other peculiar outgrowths of what were strange words In the ears of early settlers. One of the most striking examples Is "buckaroo," a term which the stock ranchers of Washington and Oregon in the past almost exclusively applied to the cowboy. The term is yet-more often heard than the "cowboy" of Montana and Wyoming, although it strangely has escaped the notice of those writers of ranch fiction who are supposed to acquaint Eastern readers with the Western idioms and give them a highly romantic idea of cow- punching. The writer of this article has en countered buckaroos from Northern Washington to Southern Oregon but never a cowboy. One of them over In the Moses Lake country, when asked the difference, explained that a buck aroo is more of a daredevil than a cowboy, but this informant was a sort of " simple-minded ' individual whose most cherished possession was not a ".intt Zlt, Washington and John Barrett "0ra r.h" "-- "f ----' will nther hlffi In. leathers is nung to or,, it is essential to our imiuuiioi -icicimo . .. w TirnflnpA our own buddIv.
