The Presidents Wilkes Barre Order.

The Presidents W1lkoS.barre Oruer.
In his enthusiasm for the preservation
Of the separate Municipalities Of Col.
WILKES and Col. BARRE, and his generous
desire to crafty the wishes OF the good
people of the town sometimes styled
Wilkesbarre and sometimes Wilkes
Barre, President ROOSEVELT has directed
the Post Onloe Department to use hence
forth the form Wilkes-Barre, and not
Wilkesbarre.
Perhaps the President. before issuing
his order to the Post Office Department,
would have done we'll to consult Mr..
HENRY GANNETT, the distinguished and
erudite chairman Of the Board on Geo
graphic Names. This board was created
by an Executive order of September 1,
1890, which Is yet in force. We quote
from the official text Of the order organ
izing the board and defining its powers:
That uniform usage In regard 70 geographic
nomenclature and photography shall obtain
throushou, tho Executive Departments Of the
Government. this board Is constituted. To It shall
be referred all unsettled questions concerning
geographic nance which arise In the Departments
enS Nv decision, Of ne board are to be accepted al
the standard authority In such matlen."
The then unsettled question Of Wilkes
barre or Wilkes-Barre went in regular
course to the Board ON Geographic
Names. The decision Of that board,
final as to Official usage in the Post Office
and other Departments Of the Govern
ment, Is thus officially recorded:
wilkesbarre: city. Luxerne County. Pa Nos
wilkes Barrc.)'
Who can doubt that Mr.. ROOSEVELT
was ignorant Of the fact that he was not
only exercising function specially as
signed to q commission Of experts in
geographic nomenclature, but also actu-
ally overruling their final and binding
decision in this particular case9

Stung by the example Of the Greater
New York's Greater TIM SULLIVAN, the
Hon. H1NKY DINK Of Chicago has gone
abroad strange countries for to see. he
has been studying foreign politics and
institutions at close range. The general
conclusions which he has formed he has
put into golden sentences:
Me for little old Chicago
The Europeans are bunch Of has beens.
Mr. DINK's judgment and criticism Of
artistic matter are scarcely lens tsrse
and altogether as refreshing. He praises
the uniform sky line Of Berlin, where
@skyscrapers don't CO. In his deliber-
ate and authoritative opinion, SITS q
cinch that Berlin is the finest city in
Europe Kings, Kaisers and Queens
have respected his incognito-hs IL
travelling as "Mr. KRNNA '-consequently
they have not been allowed to meet him;
but she has seen about 4 million Of their
statues, which are thicker here in Europe
than Democrats in the First Ward
Mr.. DINK is "for municipal owner
ship all right but, says he:
81 studied municipal ownerahp In Glasgow for
two solid days. I talked with motormsn and CON-
ductors and went 70 the bottom Of the thing. The
system 10 profitable, but the wages are only third
Of those paid In Chicago, the fares arc higher and
the service IL rotten"
Mr.. DINK makes a Enthusiastically
shrewd remark about the great expec-
tations, now fading so rapidly, Of the
County Cook men in regard to NUM-
cipal traction:
"our people don't understand yet what 10 meant
by municipal ownership. They simply think they
are going 70 get something for nothing with tn.
ding stamps thrownin. Chicago b hardly ready 70
