No woman Is moro deserving than Mrs.

the natural penalty Of being abridged irrsv-
erently or being obliterated by q nickname.
In these days Of double barrelled names it
has become fashionable TO seek oblivion by
attaching the full name TO institutions. pro-
fe~ssorships and scholarships. Life Is too
short to speak Of tho Pelatiah PERT profes-
sor or the Henry Bromfsld Rogers Memorial
fellowship; the names simply disappear.
The aw~kwardness Of tho appellation Leland
Stanford Junior University Ia obviated by
emitting the words the founders cared most
for, n the more rational Massachusetts,
Institute OF Technology becomes q single.
undignihed syllable.
President ELIOT. who has had more az
p~erience and success In monumental phrases
than most men and knows the all Importance

The younger institution may hesitate TO FORE
stall Harvard with an Eliot Hall. but the ad-
vantage Of q single name should prevail.

Southern Democrats are determined to
have, and nothing else1 With his pro-

they will have nothing to do, and the

a matter Of no great importance. but
only a side issue, concerning which

Padsrewski'. rroubles with Pigs.

The swine fever regulations of various Cont.

on the part Of four nne pedigree pigs, recently pur.
chased near Colchester for the famous pianist
Paderevskl for hs farm IN Switzerland. The
sgSnt who purchased the pigs intrusted them
to q Continental forwarding once for despatch
to Switzerland. The latter sent them via Harwlch
70 Antwerp and thence to Switzerland. but when
the pigs arrived At the frontier neither the French
nor the German authorities would permit them to
pass. and they had perf0rce to be returned to Ant
werp. whence, after length y delay and Voluminous
correspondence with the British Board OF Agri-
culture, they were brought back by stea meT 70
London. They were than trAnsshipped by lg liter
20 the steamer Syria for BoulOgns. From that
port they were forwarded by direct rail TO SwitEer-
land. and AZ last Jews has been received OF theiT
safe arrival. The pigs are valuable animals. In

BRYAN I'm the South.

In view OF the frigid reception Of his
advocacy of Federal ownership of trunk
railways by Democratic leaders, espe-
cially in the South, Mr.. BRYAN has given
up his intention Of visiting Australia and
New Zealand. He has business nearer
home. He fears that he viii need all
the time at his disposal from now until
June, 1908, 70 the ground that
he has lost. He proposes, It seems, to
devote two-thirds OF the current month
to speaking in the thirteen States to which
Judge PARKER was indebted in 1904 for
every one OF his 40 electoral votes. viii
Mr.. BRYAN find the blunder made In
Madison Square Garden irretrievable1
There L. not the slightest doubt that in
a Democratic national convention the
delegates from Delaware, West Virginia
and Missouri, States that voted for
ROOSEVELT two years ago, would rally to
the solid South and that enough dele
gates could be picked up from other sec
tons TO compose much moro than tho
one-third needed 10 defeat Mr.. BRYAN's
candidacy. It follows that II the Ne
braskan desires q third nomination he
must reinstate himself in the esteem and
confidence Of the South at any cost. Can
he do this by announcing moro or less
explicitly that the Southern delegates to
the next national convention will be
allowed to frame the platform so far az
the railway plank Ia concerned, and to
repudiate distinctly the proposal Of
Federal ownership7 Would such an offer
really propitiate such spokesman Of
Southern opinion as Senator DANIEL OF
Virginia and Mr.. JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS,
both Of whom have declared themselves
infexibly opposed to Federal ownership
Of railroads, nov and always, In theory
and in practice2 Mr.. WILLIAMS, in reply
to a telegram from the Times Dispatch
Of Richmond, says that II such a pro-
posal should be made In the next national
convention Of his party, we (meaning
the Southern delegates and their allies
would vote it down.
II any doubt were possible cer
ing the authenticity Of the despatch pub
lished by our Richmond contemporary
We should refuse to believe Mr.. WILLIAMS
capable Of giving his fellow Democrats
the advice imputed to him. The primary
and paramount question now before the
country, which 10 likely to occupy
the foreground for years to come, is
whether it 10 possible by legislation to
prevent large aggTegations OF capital
invested In production or In transporta-
ton from acquiring monOpOies or max
ing unfair determinations. President
ROOSEVELT, all but . few Of tho Repub-
licans in both chambers Of Congress and
all Of the Democratic members except
two Senators have declared IL to be
possible through Federal regulation.
Both parties are definitely committed TO
the employment Of that method.
It Ia certain. on the other hand, that
trusts and interstate railways will not
submit tamely to any Infringement Of
what they conceive to be their oonstitu-
tional and legal rights, and that years
may be needed In order 10 ascertain, by
litigation or by supplemental legislation,
whether Federal Legislation can, as a
matter Of law and fact, fulfil the aims Of
its advocates. The battle to which both

nothing to Paris. Very likely they mean
more; for certainly they are more crowded
than ever, only they mean something differ
