The Fight is Over. . Litigation over the illegal increasel automobile license fees was ended yesterday when Ed Jackson secretary oif state filed a waiver of the right of ask ing for a rehearing of the case in which the supreme court held invalid the act. providing for the increassd ‘schedules. L '

Zach T. Dungan clerk of the supreme and _ appellate courts immediately certified a copy of the opinion of the supreme court in the casé€ tc the St. Joseph superior court where the action originated. The supreme court: in declaring the increased fees illegal on account of the “rider” in tle ‘act providing for disposition of the state inheritance tax affirmed thfindings of Judge Lenn Qare in the lower court. :

Aiter Judge Anderson.

Strong opposition to the bill in congress designed to create a second federal court district in Indiana. is made by the temperance forces of Indiana. It is claimed the wets in Terre aute and the Calumet district desire to get from under control of Judge Anderson and Washington is- Being flooded with petitions opposing the bill. & ' . :

. - Franchise Dissolved. - The: corporate franchise of the House of David of Benton ‘Harbor Mich., has been dissolved by order of the court. However the religious end o fthe concern still exists as. the ‘“‘lsraelite House of David.”™ : Hurt When Horse Falls, . The nine year old son of Fred Yoder of Millersburg was severely injur ed when he fell from a horse he was riding which slipped on the ice. He sustained a cut in his forehead and the ligaments of his knee were torn

Child Secalded to Dealh, Ninetta three years old daughter ot Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Yoque died at New Haven from burns sustained when she fell backward into a bucke! of hot water. . ) HOW “0. K.” CAME INT 2 USE One Explanation Is That Gen. Andrew Jackson Borrowed Abbreviation - From Choctaw Indians. "

The expression “Q. K.” is a colloquialism. There are many explanations for its origin, but most of them center around Andrew Jackson. One explanation is that General Jackson borrowed the abbreviation from the Choctaw Indians, with which tribe he ‘was well acquainted. That tribe and the Chickasaws had no verb)corresponding to “be.” Instead an emphatic word, “okeh,” closed positive statements in those languages. “Okeh” meant “it is so,” or “it is right.” , Another explanation was offered in 1909 at the time of the death of Cornelins Kendall of Chicago. Mr. Kendall was the youngest son of Orrin Kendall, -from whose linitials the use of “O. K.” is said to have sprung. Orrin Kendall, as the story goes, was a member of the Chicago board of trade pbattery in the Civil war.. He also was a member of the firm of O. Kendall & Sons, whose bakery was in Chicago. The firm furnished bread and crackers for the army and on the crackers were ¢he initials “O. K.” The crackers are gaid to have been the only ones the goldiers relished, and their expression, “These are all right,” later developed intoe “These are 0. K.” , :

NEW ENGLAND “BLUE LAWS”

Stories of Early Day Bigotry Said by ‘Writer to Be Inventions of a : Tory Preacher. ' :

This whole delusion of New England blue laws was created by a Tory preacher who was driven- out of the colonies to England, and who, in his resentment, had published a long list of absurd enactments for the purpose of slurring the intelligence and character of the American patriots, says Floyd 'W. Parsons, - :

'1 His statement included such fabrica'{.tioms as the following: “No woman |shall kiss her child on the Sabbath. /70> one shall run on the Sabbath, or walk in his garden, or elsewhere. except reverently to and from meetings! No ane shall travel, cook, make beds, sweep, shave or cut hair on Sunday. N persons shall play any musical instrumen't on that day except the drum, truvnpet or jew’s harp.” i . Aind although even a hasty ‘investigation will prove to anyone’s satisfaction that our colonial acts were neither exceawswively intolerant nor bigoted, the Tory’ preacher’s libel of early American cust(mas continues to perpetuate the fallac’y of New England blue laws,— Satur dayv Evening Post, .

Walla Walla Indian Tribe.

Wal la Walla, meaning running water, is ome of the most beautiful Indian riames in Washington geography, accorc ling to Edmond 8. Meany, professor of histery at the University of Wash! ngton. o The; origin of the name is easily ascertai med, as it was recorded by the first white men who virited that region, according to Professor Meany, the ] Defroit News avers. Harly forms were "Wollah Wollal, Wallow Wallows, Wollaw Wollah and Woller Woller, i 4G

In wmeweral languages “walla” means runn img water, and reduplication of the wrord diminutizes It; so “walla wallet”™ #8 the small rapid stream. The word ithus first recorded as the name of a iribe of Indians was soon naturally appled to the region occupied by them. In fact the name was taken by the Indiams because it described the land where they lived. "
