Eagle Pass, Texas. II suffered
one week with bowel trouble and

yearns for the substitution Of perma-
nent names that will show family rela-
tionship and thus enable titles and allot-
ments to be left clear on the Government
records So Indian names must be
changed arbitrarily in order that the
records and registers may be kept with
less trouble and more accuracy. The
Indian Bureau may be supposed TO know
its own business, but an outsider might
guess that il was voluntarily introducing
confusion and increasing the chances OF
mistake and fraud.
Changes OF name are likely to be made
as the Indians become more civilized, but
they should be voluntary, not forced upon
the Indians by the Government. 1t may
be that the Indians, many or most OF
whom have private, or so to speak,
sacred, names of their own, names de-
rived from or connected with religious
ceremonies, initiation rites and 80 on.
care little what official name the Indian
Bureau may bestow upon them. Diff
ferent tribes are on different stages Of
civilization or barbarism, and no general
rule can be laid down. But there is q
good, solid, pagan basis to the Indian
thought, however much ii may be over
laid and hidden by coats OF partial Chris
tianization. Among savages. and many
tribes risen above savagery, the name
Is a vital part Of the personality, and 1t is
conceivable that Commissioner JONES
may stir the bile OF the Indians as much
by his attempt to impose new names
upon them as he did by his inexecutable
order commanding the Indians to have
their hair cut. They rose and mutinied;
saved their own hair and would have
been glad to raise" the Commissioner s.
In primitive thought, the hair, like the
name, is a part OF the personality, and
may be mighty dangerous in the power
of an enemy. An official name, how
ever, given by the Government, may be
regarded as only a nickname, and the
giving OF it one OF the curious unintelli-
gible and foolish proceedings Of the Great
Father at Washington.
1t may be vain to regret the inevitable
fading or sophistication OF the Indian
poetry. mythology and tribal custom
and religion; and it might be an imperti-
nence, however true. to hold that civili-
zation has no call to thrust itself upon the
ruder races which it makes its victims.
Still, these Indians are the real old Amer
lean stock, and we immigrants and new
corners in the country, having got most
Of their land, might, without any excess
of generosity, leave them their names.
II it would be too sentimental and i'm
practical to ask that for the sake Of the
Indians, at least We may ask 1t for the
sake of the SMITHS, JoNEsEs, BROWNS,
RoBINsoNs and all the rest Of the names
now in the directories. What right has
the Government to water the stock Of
our names?

Prote citing the National EN- blems.

A year or so ago the Commissioner Of
Patents ruled that the United States flag,
and the portrait or name Of the President
or OF any Of his family, could not be used
as a trademark; he has extended this
ruling now to prevent the use OF the
national shield as trademark, holding
that the introduction OF the national
colors in trademark designs is against
public policy, cheapening the emblem in
the eyes Of the people, and taking from it
its patriotic significance and sanctity."
Congress has repeatedly refused to
enact law forbidding the use OF the
flag for advertising purposes, though
some States have protected 1t from such
desecration. The uniform Of the army
and navy is likewise wholly unprotected
by Federal law, and there is nothing but
the expense involved that forbids the
hall porters at a hotel from appearing in
the uniform OF the Admiral Of the Navy
or of the Lieutenant-G General OF the Army.
In fact, the head porter at WASH
ington hotel is said to wear Major
Generals uniform. Hucksters and actual
beggars wear the uniforms of enlisted
men constantly. In this State the uni
form OF the National Guards protected
by law from use by unauthorized persons,
but it is only when the army or the
navy uniform resembles that Of the State
troops that it can be protected here.
The livery worn by automobile drivers
some years ago resembled too closely
the overcoats of National Guard officers,
and had to be changed because Of this
similarity.
1t is probably too late to restrict by
law the use Of such terms as " National.
United States" and Federal in
titles Of business corporations; yet the
recent developments Of the various
Committees and" National Bureaus
with headquarters in Washington, which
obtained a fictitious credit by their
names and their places of business, show
that the use Of names apparently indi-
eating connection with the Government
has become an abuse.
The Commissioner Of Patents has
ruled wisely, and not too hastily. Con-
gress should supplement his decision
by appropriate legislation.

The Challenger.

Shamrock Ills first trial looks rosy
for Sir THOMAS. Closehauled and
broad-reaching, she beat Shamrock l. in
champion style. She outfooted her and
she outpointed her. Her fellow country
men who saw the trial call her the finest
ever
This happened also to Shamrock H.,
although, a little later. doubt arose as
to whether she or her predecessor had
better be sent over in search OF the Cup.
At the first trial in 1901, Shamrock III.
sailed round" Shamrock !. and was
pronounced the best boat ever built in
England; but a week later the old one
beat the new over twenty-mile triangle
by five minutes. The first promises
didn't seem to be fulfilled We feel,
however, that Shamrock ILL., is really
good, and that she will maintain her
superiority to her sister without check.
Regarding the challenger's canvas.
it seems that after all she will have more
than Shamrock H., instead of less. A
moderate increase says the London
Field. Consequently, the indications are
that we shall have pair recalling Valky-
rie III. and Defender, with the interna-
tional flags transferred. Shamrock Ill,
a deep-boded, all-round wave-cleaver,
recalling Defender, will be pitted against
a wider, flatter wave-smasher with a
greater spread Of canvas.
Memory tells us that HERREsHoFF has
won under both conditions, that is, with
the thin boat against the fat and the fat
boat against the thin. There is more in
the game than models, and HBRREsHoFF
is a proven master at all points Of it. We
don't say this to keep our courage up
or hurl defiance at our opponents, but
merely faithfully to report the facts.

silver coins ~ Par WIN GOiu.
Early action to give stability to the cur
rency OF Mexico was predicted yesterday
by Charles A. Conant. treasurer OF the
Morton Trust Company, who has just re-
turned from the Mexican capital. Mr..
Conant was invited by the Mexican Gov
ernment. along with Edward Brush OF the
American Smelling and Refining Company.
and Prof j. W. Jenks OF Cornell Univer-
sity. TO visit Mexico and confer with the
Minister OF Finance in regard to the pro-
vision made by Congress for the cooperation
OF the United States with Mexico and China
in giving stability and uniformity to the
currency systems OF the silver-using coun-
tries. Mr.. Conant said yesterday
Il think that the Mexican Government
will establish a hxed exchange standard
for Mexico, which will continue the large
Use OF silver coins, but will provide Tor
keeping them at par with gold by Govern
ment control of the quantity and by gold
exchange fund in the leading financial
centres. II an exchange standard Is es-
tablished, it will be safeguarded by pro-
visions similar TO those In our own statutes
for maintaining the parity OF our paper
and silver money. Mexico already con-
ducts her fiscal affairs through the national
bank and does not disturb the money mar
ket by locking up funds in the Government
treasury. Her credit is good and is likely
to be greatly improved with the definite
adoption OF an exchange standard.
The railways have suffered perhaps
more than any other single interest by the
fall OF exchange. because they have con-
tinued to collect their freight rates In silver,
while they have paid many OF their en-
ployees and have remitted their interest
and dividends on gold basis. They have
been debarred thus far by the Government
from raising their rates, but their condi-
ton has become such that some increase
in rates will probably he permitted within
the near future in anticipation OF the adop-
ton Of a fixed rate Of exchange. The
existing railways would be paying hand
some dividends II silver had remained at
par. They will probably pay we'll In the
future II a definite standard Ia adopted.

NeaaTning the Indians.

Commissioner JONES of the Indian
Bureau il dissatisfied with the names Of
the Indians. Thoss names are hard or inn
possible for other than copper-colored
laws to utter, Mr.. JONES appeals to
morality as well as to euphony. Some
Indian names have q coarse significance
which would be painful to the white
brother II. he understood it. As he
doesn't understand it, the moral argu-
rnent seems a little weak. II the Indian
Bureau sought to substitute names Of
unobjectionable meaning for names of
Questionable meaning, and proposed to
carry it's reform Of nomenclature no
farther, it motives might be approved,
however little regard they show for the
riaht of q man. even red man, to his own
name. But Mr.. JONES has wider pur-
poes. He objects to the metaphors and
poems, the descriptive or ornamental
epithets, the whole complex, elaborate
and fluid system Of Indian appella-
tons.
No doubt il has it's disadvantages from
the civilized and legal point Of view. 1t

conceptions Of the paleface. We don't

and JoNRsBs can hardly understand how
a human being outside Of Bedlam can
hermit himself to be called BIG BEAR or
RED DOG. How can you civilize a crit
ter with so uncivilized and hopelessly

red Amerind brother to steer red devil
wagon. You may educate him to the
point Of givisg conferences at the Hy-
pnen- Hifahltin' Hotel on totemism or
folklore; but he will still seem savage,
at least until he changes his name. Be-
sides, he is a stole philosopher. What
docs he care what you call him so long
as you call him for his rations?
! Still, il is little queer to take away
IA man & name without his consent. Ordi-
nary guardians don't try to monkey with
the names OF their wards. But the In
dian is no ordinary ward and the Govern
ihcnt no ordinary guardian. Will a

Peace.

The great battle between the Ameri-
can feet under Admiral DEWEY and the
German feet under Lieut.-Gen. Count
RKvENTLow is over, with loss of temper
only. Neither ship nor man was touched,
and the temper could we'll be spared.
The little expenditure in that line prob
ably leaves both sides in sounder and
happier condition for extending here
after uninterruptedly to each other the
most wholesome honors of peace.
Admiral DEWEY thinks that the Carib-
bean maneuvres strongly impressed
the Kaiser. Lieut.. Gen. REvENTLOw
thinks the American Navy is inferior to
the German Navy, or, in other words, a
very poor navy, carrying job-lot OF
ships in which the men who have not
deserted are cross-eyed gunners and
chicken-hearted.
The umpires in this great war game,
the Schiedsrichter, call 1t a draw, and
direct that the Admiral, or his repre-
sentative, and the Lieutenant-General
exchange calls. The Armies and Navies
forever!
or course Admiral DEWEY should not
have said what he did. A Government
has trouble enough to manage its inter-
national affairs without being burdened
by indiscretion on the part of subordi-
mates. But. in justice to this distin-
Ruished salt, it must be remembered
that it was precisely five years ago that
the German. squadron in Manila Bay.
under Admiral DIKDRICHs, was as ugly
and hostile to the American commander
in those waters az it was possible to be,
without getting down to hard fight. The
American sentiment engendered there
cropped ont some time ago in some quo
tations by Rear Admiral CooHLAN.
Admiral DEWEY has never taken the
opportunity TO release his mind until
now. Hence we don't believe that any
hard feelings are left on this side Of the
water. 81
To strengthen our treaty Of friendliness
We urge that reciprocity Of presents be
not stopped. as the German Lieutenant
General would have it, but that President
ROOSEVELT send to the Emperor COM
plete edition Of his works, fully equal in
binding to the set already sent to the
Pope, and that the Emperor send to Mr..
RoosRvHIF whatever product of his own
more varied genius best pleases him,
whether in song or sculpture. Peace
We have, and let us keep it warm.
