MANY AND VARIED SMITHS.
All Are Descended from Former Work
 CTS in Metal.

Genealogists Say that the name Smith is such common one in all English speaking countries because in early times not merely iron work CTS were styled smiths, but also those engaged in any line of metal working.
 In France Smith masquerades as Le Fevre: and in Germany as Schmidt or Schmitt; in Holland. Smid or Smidts. In Italy, the famil. lar name Is recognized with difi. culty in Fabbroni and Fabroniess: in Scotland it is found more readily in the Gowans: in Wales. Con and Cowan both stand for the same name; in Slav tongues Smith be- comes Koraces. The Celtic race never was addicted to trade names. prefer ring personal, local, or patronymic terms; still there are MacGowan and Mcintyre. both meaning the son of Smith.
 The Smith derivatives. so to speak. are without number. as Smith, Smithe, Smyth. Smeith. Shit, Smyte. Le Smyt. and the like. Then come Goldsmith. Silversmith. Cop persmith. Locksmith. Whitesmith, Brownsmith, Blacksmith, Arrow. smith. Speersmith. Redsmith, Knyfe- smith, Nasmyth tnailsmith), Hdyle- smith. and so on to the crack of doom.-Sunday Magazine

NEW VIEWS ON
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

4 look on the dangers Of Municipal
O8nership.' by Robert L. Porter. Drec-
tor 81 the Eleventh. Census II the United
States, has just been published.
Some Of Mr.. Porter's conclusions are
~ follows.
lt isa city governments business TO
goyeru-to regulaie-not 10 acquire and
run business in competition with It's
taxpayers
Municipal ownership has been largely
developed in the mother country. where
il has been captured by socialists, who
run il according 10 their theories. TN
enterprises operated by municipalities
seldom on never pay. their alleged prof
its' being shown by cooking municipal
accounts. They do not reduce taxes
They create vast municipal debts, raise
taxes. drive away private industries, in
angurate municipal machines, corrupt
local politics and debauch the voter.
Municipal ownership hits the small
taxpayer hardest. beause it involves big
debt aud taxes for many things he
seldom or never uses.
II hourishes in Russia aud Australia
where it ruins private industry-bnt for
the most part has been rejected so far in
the United States.
Municipal ownership increases the cost
of doing business raises rents and lessons
the wages Of private industries.
Experience has exploded the contention
that the municipality ran do things
cheaper than private concerns
These subjects are being discussed iD
every city and town and the book is one
oi great interest
