passed through months of depression as the Sc
auel OF it's international exhibition. An army of

II is easy to sympathize with the motives Of
those who desire to change the name of the
village of Sing Sing to that of the town, Ossin-
ing, something else. They want to get rid of
the odious Identification with the State Prison.
But cannot see that they would attain that
end by any such means. Whatever new name
the village assumed would inevitably he APP
piled to the prison also, and in a short time
Ossining. whatever it was. would be as sug-
gestive of convicts. cells and electric chairs as
ever Sing Sing had been. IF "a rose by any
other name would smell as sweet" so Jail by
any other name would sound as bad.
