nomination of Mr. Wilson, he will
have other purposes also, says the

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

ter to disarm him; He love Wood

chickens, and (he is seeking the same
high and noble ends as the. President

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

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

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

from one tongue into nnothor. So tho
problom, in this es in most countries,
gradually settles itself. Those in

in lands of origin.. But even they

No wholesale cOinnging of names

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.

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

that the Blucher was sunk. It was
the same old Tiger, however which
