NOMENCLATURE

The Kansas City Star IN COM
menting on the action of the house
committee in selecting the name Of
Jefferson for the Indian Territory
points out many historical facts
which should be observed when
the proper time comes to select a
name for the beautiful Indian
Territory.
While the Star has all due re
CARDS in the nations desire TO
honor the memory of its great
men, it says that it is appropriate
that the name of a state should
have local significance, that it
should be beautiful and distlnc-
tive.
Most of the states west of the
Atlantic coast have found all these
qualities in Indian names. They
are musical, unique ard bound up
with local tradition. When the
northwest territory was organized
it was proposed to give the divi-
sions names which should show
the country's culture. There
was to be an Assenipia; Metropo-
tam1a was to extend along Lake
Erie; Polypotamia was to lie be-
low this, while Pelisipia was to be
further south. Fortunately the
country was saved this nomencla-
ture and such distinctive and mus
ical names as Ohio, Wisconsin,
Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, and
Dakota were given to the new ter
ritorles. Americans hear these
so frequently that they do not ap-
preciate their appropriateness and
beauty.
The Indian Territory abounds
in beautiful names associated with
its history and distinctive of re-
gion. "Tahlequah, " for instance
would fill every historical and eu-
phonistic requirement. unfortu
nately congress may allow the
name Jefferson" to 90 by de
fault through fear that any oppo-
sition to it will be attributed to
lack of regard for the great pat
riot and philosopher who bore it.
The name has already been com
memorated in the capital of the
fifth state in the Union. The
memory of the author of the
Declaration of Independence may
be appropriately honored further
by monuments and organizations.
But it would be Pity. if the ac-
eeptable and appropriate system
of nomenclature of the west
should be departed from in the
case of the Indian Territory.
