Noticing the fact that Mr.. Edward
King has dedicated his "Great South ="
book to Mrs. Roswell-Smith. a we'll
known writer SAYS "Until recently
Nh. Roswell-Smith's name was Roswell
G. Smith. The letter sc" is dropped
and the given name added to the family
name. This custom is quite common III
Europe, especially in France and Spain,
and is gradually being adopted III this
country. The name of Smith is rather
too common to be distinctive, unless Il
man happens to be a Sydney Smith or a
Gerrit Smith. a few DAYS ago we saw
Oh the side of a pie-cart in New York the
name of Squire c. Smith. And we have
known a man to be named Doctor Smith,
and also Washington Smith. The well
known writer, Mrs. Elizabeth Cakes
Smith, added the name OF her husband,
Smith. TO her maiden lame, OakeS,
which made a new and very pretty name,
Oakcsmith. This name her SONS adopt
ed. Mrs. Leonowens, the authoress,
added the name of Owens to Leon. Many
names might be mentioned where the
hvphen has been and is used, Is in the
case of DIR. Brown-Sequard, the Baroness
Burdett-C outts, Abd-cl-Kader, the Rev.
Baring-Gould, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
RiSmarck-S chOenhauSan. and many
others. What's in Il name may be
asked. At least every man should be
allowed to please himself, and spell his
own names as he likes"

THE art of voicing reeds, the most diff
ticult and important in the manufacture
of cabinet or parlor organs, was invented
by Mr.. Emmons Hamlin, of the Mason
& Hamlin Organ Co., in 1917. 1t has
been universally adopted by American
and largely by European makers, but
none have attained that high standard of
excellence in it which is reached in the
Mason 4 Hamlin Cabinet Organs. This
fact is universally recognized by must
clans.

WHO OWN THE SIDEH4LKS"

rom the New 1OrR commercial AdFcrtl5er.I
The other day d queer scene occurred
on a principal street Ill Philadelphia.
A MAJ with a push-cart was going
along the sidewalk, and on passing a
furniture store was unable to get his
vehicle through on account of the mass
of furniture piled on the sidewalk,
which almost closed the passage-wav.
The push-cart man proceeded to open
a passage. and to this the furniture
people objected, quite an alteration
ensuing as to their "rights." Who
should possess the sidewalks There
seems to be, on the part of many people,
grave doubts on this subject. Here was
q case in which q man violating one
city ordinance came into collision with
tradesmen who were violating another.
It is quite certain that push-carts have
no right Oh the sidewalks. 1t is equally
certain that shopkeepers have no right
to blockade the sidewalks with their
goods. Each is a violation Of the rights
OF pedestrians, for whom this portion of
the highways is intended.

Fife Under the Smoke.

The Daily Graphic has this to say
Of the late election, in Ohio: The
Ohio election has blown most of the
smoke from the political field. But it
leaves the public in better condition
than before to ascertain exactly how
much fire there was underneath and
where it is located. Those who i'm
agine that this soft-money agitationsis
purely gratuitous, a mischievous inven-
ton Of a few uneasy and malignant
politicians, are profoundly mistaken.
They represent large and powerful
constituency. When over two hum
dred thousand citizens of one of the
most intelligent States in the Union
vote against contraction and in favor
of greenback currency, it may be
safely assumed that there are plausible
if not valid reasons for their course.
And it is morally certain that an issue
which polls thousands Of votes more
than were cast at previous elections
conducted on the old party grounds is
not settled by a paltry majority Of
5000. The financial question which
was raised in Ohio is real and vital
one, and will agitate the country till
it receives an approximate if not sat
isfactory solution in the settled policy
of the Government.
There is fire under the smoke. The
democratic vote in Ohio expresses a
profound dissatisfaction on the part of
a large body Of the people. And it
has solid reason in the continued hard
times which depress trade and lower
prices and depreciate values and make
everybody feel poor. People out of
work and with little to eat, farmers
who have no market for their produce,
mechanics with nothing to do, manu-
facturers whose business is at stand
still feel that something is wrong and
demand a change of some sort. The
constant element in all the democratic
speeches was the badness of the times

the rest OF mankind; they are untaught
but eager for knowledge and for a
place in the unknown world outside.
Since the decision in their favor in Nav
last, government agents, traders, and
dealers IN whisky have become cogni-

penetrated the hitherto untraveled

the pain was real; the specific may
have been quackery, but the paralysis
was there. Then, too, the existing
national bank monopoly furnished an
unfailing argument for the greenback
orators. Here was a real incongruity
in our financial system; a vast privii-
lege given to Incorporated capital at
the expense Of the industry and well
fare of the country. The people could
see at glance that there is a manifest
injustice in taxing the nation some
twenty millions year for the sake of
enabling twelve hundred banks to make
from twelve to twenty per cent. on
their money. The proposed substitute
for the national bank system may have
been idiotic, but the common sense Of
the country saw clearly enough that
the system is wrong.
With two such solid reasons to back
them, and coming within FIVE thousand
votes of victory after an excited cam
paign, it is not probable that this finan-
cial agitation will subside as passing
furry. The Ohio agitators have thrown
a great question into the political arena,
and there will be no peace until it is
settled. The next congress might do
much to solve the problem were it to
set about the business in downright
earnest.
