Ks are, of course. tributes to a legend of Old Hickory; they may be said to have a po- litical flavor. Ka has a Kipling jungle suggestion. Oz suggests comic opera; TT and Ty savor of tea chest Chinese art As for Ed, that is Swedish surname in good and regular standing in Minneapo- lis, Rock Island and other flourshing Swedish communities But My-oh, my! what does that stand for?
 Of the IS names, Virginia, Georgia, Ala bama, Mississippi and Texas muster two each. Kentucky. however, has three. How strange that the commonwealth that produces the longest men should also be prolific of the shortest namesl As for B e.

oRTHoGRAPHIc ECONOMY.
Dissertation Upon Local Monosyllable
 Nomenclature.

From the St. Louis Republic.
 The Republic recently printed a list of 265 names of towns in Missouri that are spelled with four letters or less, ac- cording the place of honor to Fly. Ore gon county. It inquired How is that for high" or at least something to that effect and challenged the states of the American sisterhood to produce it's equal.
 The Sun reproduced the list, and am swered the challenge by pointing to Ka, Tex, and Ka, Va. A correspondent of the Sun rummaged among the 22-caliber short ammunition contained in the United States Gazetteer and came out with a handful of AIs-One from Alabama one from Georgia, one from North Carolina, and one from Ohio, and the department of photographic economy of that excellent paper added Za, Va; My, -.Aiss., and O. K, Ky. O. K. Miss; and O. K, s. c.
 This is excellent, but it by no means ex- hausts the subject Kentucky has like wise Oz and Ed. Oklahoma has ri, and Georgia produces Ty-almost tie. Ur and Uz are, respectively. in Texas and Virginia A. B. C., Tenn, ought certainly to stand at the head of the list rather than the foot; it connotes the beginning of culture.
 Some singular facts force themselves ,1uon the attention of the thoughtful in connection with this list With the soil tary exception of Al. Ohio, every one or the IS Biblical names is from the Amerl- can Midi-the land of the cypress, the mint iulep and the prohibitory statute. The north will have none of the automat- ic cutoff as applied to names Of towns

TAXING EXPRESSES.
Paul Morton's Idea Meets With Public
 Approval.

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
 MT. Paul Morton's suggestion that tax be imposed on heiresses exported for sale in the European matrimonial mar ket is, as he says, in the interest of the home, but 1t is equally in the interest of American capital, blood and heredity. We are losing some strong stocks through this traffic and 1t ought to be stopped.
 But the tax ought to rest where 1t belongs. The foreigner should pay 1t.
 With every woman whose father buys her title goes a vast sum In settlement. That Is, in fact the moving considera- ton. The woman herself, is secondary in the mind of the duke or prince or ahkoond. Now the levy should be on this settlement and it should be a graduated tax.
 Thus, with a settlement conveying s10, coo, eco, the rate should be, say 50 per cent. From this, which may be fixed as a maximum, the rate can fall on a slid ing scale to a minimum of, say per cent on a settlement of $l00,000.
 By such policy our government can kill two birds with one stone; that is. 1t will tend to keep both American wo- men and American money at home where they belong. If 1t is argued that the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-08-08

foreigner will shift the tax to the father, it may be observed that father is a thrifty gentleman and, after giving $10,- 0O0,000 for battered title, he will be in no humor to pay $5,000,000 more as a tax to Uncle Sam. Every offer will be net: that is, it will include the tax, and the foreigner will have to take it, less the government claim. Of course. this may increase the size of some settlements, but 1t will at the same time be a pow erful discourager When the old gen. tleman pays the highest rate he can af- ford he won't be willing to go on and pay 50 per cent more in taxes.
 With this improvement MT. Morton's suggestion is sound patriotism. Our money Is going abroad in vast sums, and the titles we get in return, while ancient and some of them genuine, can be enjoyed only by the lady in the case. They are never diffused among the peo- ple As public policy this thought of the great rebater is stamped with the highest wisdom
