WItli Them, PORTLAND, March 29. (To the Edi tor.) Referring to the suggestion that all ex-Presidents should be made Scnators-at-large. let us bear In mind that though the President of the United States Is, In the opinion of the writer and probably all Americans, the 'foremost man in the world, yet must we not fail to realize how quickly an ex-offlce holder loses his pres tige, a President not excepted, even though he be the most able and willing man to serve the public, especially as It now sc.ems to bo thought humiliating for one who has been President thereafter to accept any other office, even that of United States Senator. With this thought in mind it seems that the idea of amending the Constitution sc as to make allex-PresIdents Senators-at-large for life Is a most excellent one, not so much for the purpose of honoring them as for the inestimable advantage of hav ing the benefit of their vast experience and familiarity with foreign and home poli cies in the discussion of future legisla tion. There are other good reasons for such a step, and If the plan should be considered advisable for ex-Presidents of the United States, why , should It not be well to make all ex-Governors State' Senators-at-Large, and all the ex-Mayors Councllmen-at-large? Do not think me as writing sarcastically, for I most assuredly am not Much good would come from such a course and tend In a small way to avoid abrupt political changes and hasty legislation. On the other hand, wc would never have In any community so many ex-Presidents, Gov ernors or Mayors as-to justify a com plaint about the number. Very rarely does any but a most able and honorable- man fill any of tho afore said offices, and on comparison with the average man elected to the body of which the ex-President, Governor or Mayor would be a member at large the scales would show a great balance In favor of the latter In every way. I can and will on request very willingly give to any one writing therefor S3 other sood reasons, provided I receive his letter addressed to one who is not "An ex-President of tho United States." O. J. KRAEMER. P. S. Though a little foreign to tho foregoing, let mo ask If there Is any one in the community who can give a good reason why. our Courthouse should not bo. painted. It Is not such a bad structurei but as It now stands one can see the. eight or ten colors of the different addi tions, which causes a very patchy and crude effect to the eye. Would not a Ut-i tie paint remedy this? If so, should it not' receive Immediate attention? How to Name a. Boy. Chicago Tribune. The basic principle of all Professor Trlggs rules for tho naming of boys is that the boy has a right to a name that he will like. The question then arises: Is it to be a name he will like when he Is 17 or 27, or one he will like when he Is 70? In other words, what period of the boy's life Is the namer to have In mind? A boy's taste changes with his age. While he Is still In the nursery he may not resent Willie or Algle. When he be gins to play ball In the alley with "the other kids" he probably will affect Tom or Jack. Later on, as he passes into the warlike mood of early youth and longs to encounter Apache braves, painim chiv alry, crack regiments, or any other kind of foe, he may take to Custer, Bruce, Richard or Hal. Still later, when he finds out that there are women in the world, that hearts are useful for other purposes besides being shot through, and that the guitar wins more victories than tho rifle, he possibly may choose Bertram, Cavendish, Alonzo or De Clifford. These names will disgust him 10 years afterward, when he has set tled down In business. He will then think that John, James or Charles are the most appropriate and serviceable names he knows. Last of all, in his old age, he Is likely to come to the conclusion that any name will do, and that he would rather think about something else. It Is clear, then, that If the name Is to be one that the boy will always like, it must be a name of great adaptability, for it must. fit every stage in his career. There Is one way out of this difficulty. Adopt the royal custom of giving a boy all the names the baptism ceremony will hold. Give him so many names that he can make a card catalogue of them and look up new ones whenever he needs them. There Is no other means of nam ing a boy to his permanent and contin uous satisfaction. If this method be not acceptable it 13 always reasonably safe for a father to fall back on the names of the apostles. John, James, Peter, Philip, Nathaniel and Andrew have stood the wear and tear of centuries, have survived the hundreds of thousands of good people who have used them, as well as the hundreds of thou sands of knaves who have had the same honor, and are today just as good as ever. There will be stages In the exist ence 'of the boy who has one of those names when he may And the burden of It hard to bear, but time will persuade him that his parents did better by him than If they had given him. some more sounding and patrician name.
