Soientlrts advise us that few, guilty of that cha:ge. We suppose that if Mr. Bryan goes to the National Democratic Conven tion determined to vote for the re nomination of Mr. Wilson, he will have other purposes also, says the Democratic New York World. Hav ing . more tfve candidate of the party, his next and greater task will be the adoption of a platform repudiating the administration. It is by tactics of this kind tlhat the peerless leader God-blesses his friends who win nominations and ' elections to which he thinks he is en titled. Although Mr. Bryan is as much, at variance with Mr. Wilson as Theodore Roosevelt, Elihu Root or ' Dr. Dernburf, it pleises him to cover the pretended object of his affec tions with rich, warm treacle the bet ter to disarm him; He love Wood row a unselfishly as a fox admires chickens, and (he is seeking the same high and noble ends as the. President but in diffurent -ways, the chief dif ference being that Mr, Bryan's way and alms are diametrically opposed to Mr. Wilson's. Woodrow Wilson's renomination does not depend upon' Mr. Bryan's favor. It ought not to be conferred by a convention under the influence in any degree of an enemy masquerad 1 ing 38 a friend. Nominations being out of tho question for himself, Mr. Bryan cares not lMho the candidates may be if he can write tha platfrom. lie na been writing platform or retreat and surrender ever since he left the State Department, and every body knows what they are. The Wil son platform should be Wilson him self, disHiuiHoctated Cram Bryan and Bryanlsm', treacle, Godblcss-you's and all. .' x ' what is an American, name: Lyman Abbott, declaring himself in better heslfih at eighty than at eighteen, is an instance of what sane living and continuous work will do toward preserving mental and physi cal vigor.

J 'b 'b Writing to a New York, newspupdr, a person signing himself "A Natural ized Citizen" makes this suggestion: "Now is a favorable time to change foreign names for all naturalized or even born Aimorkan ; citizens. Let us do that now for the sake of patriot ism and our coming generation. Let us be Americans by name ns well by heart.". , 5 It will be remembered that shortly after the outbreak of hostilities in Europe In 1914 a wave of patriotism nwept over Britain resulting in tihous ands going ' to tho courts far per mission to exchange foreign for Eng lish family ninnies. Porhnps the Now Yorker quoted Had tho English ox ample in mind. But before it can be adopted wo must determine what is nn Amorican name. Of course, . English is tlho ruling language in the United States But all races bring thoir hopos, capital and names to the United States, and . tho langungo spoken in theso states is deeply indebted to almost every other tongue on earth for new words and phrases and alternations of names. To sot ' up a standard of Amorican family names under tfio circumstances would provo no smull, no safe tusk. To adopt names of purely English origin would plonse few not of English extraction. The Scott, the Irishman, not to mention tihe Teuton, the Slav or tho Oriental would scarcely bow to tho chnngc with good will. In tlhe course of time family names Hly undergo revision pi One genomWon slightly niters spoil ing, or drops liable or translates from one tongue into nnothor. So tho problom, in this es in most countries, gradually settles itself. Those in dividuals in whom pride of nice is liurgc generally clings longest to finmily names ns spelled und spoken in lands of origin.. But even they vield; as the yroneilaiivnJi pass, tjoi the rules of convenience. No wholesale cOinnging of names can bo brought about by argument or otherwise in America, made up as the population is of fragments of many notions.

A possible fore cast of future German naval warfare , in the North Sea and an explanation of why the German belief is firm that the Tiger went down was given by one of the Tiger's officers. When the Blucher turned her massive hull to view, a Zeppelin appeared 10,000 feet above and dropped bombs in the vicinity of the boats of the British fleet busy picking up the Blucher's. survivors. Observers on the air ship saw the Blucher's death struggle and assum ed that it was the Tiger. The word was carried back to Berlin and offi cially announced to the world be fore Germany saw fit to announce that the Blucher was sunk. It was the same old Tiger, however which the writer inspected from stem to stern today; and seeing is believing.
