STREET NAMES AS MEMORIALS

In Paris, where one may visit the
Street Of the Fourth OF September. 1t
will be possible presently to traverse
also the Street of Edward VII. by

France will honor late great and
good English friend; in the other case
the beginning after Sedan Is COM
memorated of the present republic.
Considering the array of New York
streets and avenues running to arith-
metical terms. we are reminded how
far we have neglected memorial OPP
portunities In the naming of our
thorougfares. Certainly we have hon.
ored Washington in New York-sev-
eral times, indeed. in the several
boroughs, says the New York World.
We have Lafayette in street and ave-
nue.. and did have him in boulevard
till Riverside drive was extended.
few other names we have remembered
of men great in state or nation. There
are perpetuations. too. of the names
of old local families. But where is
our Avenue of the Declaration of In
dependence? Where our Boulevard or
the Fourth of July? Where our Street
of the Surrender of Yorktown and our
Place of the Emancipation Proclama-
ton. In the absence of such historic
designations for important thorough
fares is real metropolitan deficiency.
Newer New York offers abundant
chance to remove the fault. But in
stead of suggestions to this end we
have n change of name for fine old
Long Acre square. and a proposal Is
actually made to wipe out the famous
old Bowery? We are not senu-
mental people.
