More of His Intimate Writings

Jan. 10, 1911.

Dear Dad:-You remember the
tale of the pirate ship-the good
ship Venus out of Boston, and the
captain who failed to pay himself
$4100 as a freight charge for car
rying the bullion which he had
captured? You remember how
this voyage of the good ship Venus
made in 1719, became a claim
and found it's way to congress in
1880, and again last week? And
you remember how Senator Bris-
tow stood up and fought to strike
the claim from the omnibus
claims bill? Well, they had a
roll call in the senate on that
question, and the claim of the
good ship Venus remains in the
bill.
Just to make the record COM
plete, | will give you the list of
those who voted to keep this claim
in the bill. 1t is a very good list
for reference purposes when one
seeks to discriminate between the
decent men and the legislative
crooks. For the claim were: Bran
degee, Briggs, Burnham, Crane
Crawford, Cullom, Dick, Gallinger
Hale, Kean, Lodge, Lorimer, Nc
Cumber, Money, Nixon. Penrose
Piles, Root, Scott, Smith of Mary
land, Swanson, Thornton and War.

.kIPLINGS ADVICE
TO MEDICINE HAT

Medicine Hat has become sesitive
about its name to the point of cantem.
plating 1t. Medicine Hat, as every.
body ought to know, is a prosperous
and growing city in the Canadian
Northwest, with q wide reputation as
the weather breeder for the entire
North Amtrican continent. 1t is popu.
larly supposed to be the place where
the cold waves ariginte.
Some of its citizens having conceiv-
ed the idea that this reputation injur-
ed the city's business, the movement
TO blot out Medicine Hat by adopting
another name started. A letter was
sent to Mr.. Kipling asking his opinion
of the project, for the reason that he
has been guest in Medicine Hat and
has given evidence Of interest in the
Dominion of Canada. His letter of
reply inveighing against the suggested
change is given herewith.
SO far as can make out from what
l heard when | was with you in 1907,
and from the clippings you enclose,
the chief arguments for the change
are:
(a) That some United States jour
nalists have some sort of joke that
Medisine Hat supplies all the bad
weather of the United States, and (b)
that another name would look better
at the head of propectus. Incidently
! note that both arguments are devel-
oped at length by the Calgary Herald
l always knew that the Calgary Her
aid called Medicine Hat names, but
did not realize that Medicine Hat
wanted to be Calgary's little godchild
Now as to the charge of brewing
bad weather, etc, see no reason on
earth why white men should be BLUFF
fed out of their city's birthright by
an imported Joke. Accept the charge
joyously and proudly, and go forward
as Medicine Hat, the only city official
iy recognized az capoble Of freezing
out the United States and giving the
Continent cold feet.
Let us examine the sound Of the
present name, Medicine Hat. ! have
my maps by me but seem to remem'
Der a few names of names across the
border such as Schenectady, Podunk,
schohaire. Poughkeepsle, Potomac.
Cohoes. Tonawanda. Oneonta. etc.
all OF which are rather curious to the
outsider.
But 1t Is the people and not prospect.

uses, that make cities. and time has
santified the queer syllables with
memories and association for millions
of our fellow creatures. Once on a
time these places were young and new
and in the process of making them
selves. That is to say. they were an
cesters with duty to posterity. which
they fulfilled In handing on their
names intact, and Medicine Hat is
today an ancestor, not a dedivative,
not ollateral, but founder of a
line.
To my mind the name OF Medicine
Hat has an advantage over all the
names l have quoted. 1t echoes, as
you so Justly put it, the old Cree and
Blackfoot tradition of red mystery
and romance that once filled the
prairies.
Also 1t hints, venture to think, at
the magic that underlies the city in
the shape of your natural gas.
Believe me the very name is an
asset and as years go on will become
more and more OF an asset. 1t has
no duplicate in the world, it makes
men ask questions, and as knew,
more than twenty years ago, draws
the feet Of the young men toward it.
- 1t has the qualities of uniqueness.
individuality, association and power.
Above all.it is the lawful, original,
sweat and dust won name of the city;
and to change 1t would be to risk the
luck OF the city, to disgust and dis
hearten old-timers, not in the city
alone, but the world over. and to
advertise abroad the city's lack of
faith in itself.
Men do not think much of a family
which has risen in the world changing
its name for social reasons. They
think still less of a man who, because
he is successful, reudiates the wife
who stood by him in his early strug-
giles.
do not know what | shonld say,
but have the clearest notion of what
l should think OF town that went
back on itself.
Forgive me II write strongly, but
this is matter on which feel keen
ly, AS you know, have not dollar
or foot of land in Medicine Hat, but
have a large stake at interest and
very true affection in and for the city
and its folks. II is for this reason
in writing to you have taken lib
erty which men who have. known the
city for several months or perhaps
three years must seem inexcusable.
