A Real Live Town.

The town Of Eighty Four, Pa,
which was formerly called Fifty Six,
wants to change its name to Nineteen
Twelve, or rather, its seven hundred
inhabitants want the name of the town
changed. They are all Democrats.
Not one Republican has lived, or,
possibly, could have lived in the town
since 1866, when it took the name OF
that year in honor of Buchanan's
election. After Cleveland's first cleo
ton it took the name of Eighty Four.
Why 1t did not again change its name
to Ninety Two eight years later, in
honor Of Cleyeland's second election,
is not voucbsafed now, but the reason
probably was that second term for
Democratic President was too unim-
portant an incident to be so signally
honored. Wilson's victory moves the
Eighty Fourites to demand that their
towns name be brought down to date,
and petition signed by every voter
Is to be presented to the Postmaster
General, asking that the desired
change be made. Why not2 Cannot
Uncle Sam afford one town whose
name is moving picture show OF pol
itical history?
