the That" must refer to the rapture
enjoyed by the spirits OF angels and
just men made perfect on the other
side of Jordan. If it does not mean
that, it can mean nothing to me or
to you. 1t assuredly means nothing
to the average child, or even TO the
grown up person who sings it on
some high, patriotic occasion. Surely
the reason more people do not re-
member the words of America is
that there is nothing in it worth
remembering, except the sweet, high
ly c~ommendable purport Of it.

In conclusion, | remark that no one
is under the slightest obligation to
know it. In no sense is it a national
song. 1t never can be and never
ought to be. After thinking the
matter over calmly | am no longer
sorry, grieved or provoked at the
failure of an average crowd of red
blooded Americans to sing that little
bit Of patriotic namby-pamby. i
deny the right of any man to make
a knowledge of america" a test Of
my patriotism or my memory.

THE PAVING QUESTION AGAIN.

With all due respect to the city en-
gineer and others concerned, The He
raid believes that Alderman Cobo-
lini is right in his request for an in
vestigatioh of the differences be-
tween himself, as former chairman of
of the street and bridge committee
and the paving company. There are
many citizens beside Mr.. Cobolini
who feel that the company had no
right to substitute an inferior and
far cheaper quality of sand for the
kind of sand called for in the speci-
ficatiOns, and that the result so far
apparent does not seem to justify it's
use. Perhaps Mr.. Cobolini and these
citizens may be wrong. But the mer-
it's of the question should be passed
upon by competent authority.
To the Herald, it appears inconsis-
tent to suppose that the edges of the
paving, where is comes to an end,
could have been left unprotected
whether by concrete headers or 9TH
erwise. The paving company was
bound by it's contract for five years,
and those edges were bound to be
protected else the company would
have to be continually repairing and
rebuilding the paving at these points,
That this was overlooked in the spec
ifications appears strange. That the
city should have to expend such a
large amount for the construction of
the concrete headers was, to say the
least, unexpected.
The city engineer means well, no
doubt. The Herald does not presume
to question the intentions of anyone,
but the city engineer, so far as The
Herald knows, does not profess to be
a paving expert, and probably anyone
who studies the subject and cOnsults
the authorities thereon could form
a good opinion as to whether the
work has been done just right.
II is not so much a question Of
what is already done, as of the paw
ing vet to be done. If any mistakes
bava heen made in this first paving,
at least let us avoid any further mis-
takes. And, if one have been made,
then let us be satisfied that such is
the case. Justice to both sides of the
~controversy demands it.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1912-06-12

robbed of the honor, is the land not
called Vespucia.
The question, too, has been raised
whethe Vespucci's name was Amer
igo. One authority claims that it
was not. 1t is said that in a volume
published at Milan only nine years
after the death of Vespucci his name
is given as Albertatio. IL is, of
course, possible that this was a mis-
print, though such an error would be
unlikely to occur on a title page,
even in those days.
One unique theory is the name
America was not derived from Yes
pucci's name at all, but that it came
from a Celtic word, imrieh, which
means to emigrate. However the
name may have been derived, it is
certain to stand. The whole world,
except France, calls this country Am
erica, and spells the name n way.
This uniformity is true of no other
great country. Deutschland is Ger
many to the English and Allemagne
to the French. England is Angleterre
to the French and Inghilterra to the
Italians. France is Frankreich to the
Germans and Francia to the Span
iards. Espargna is Espagna to the
Italians and Spain to the English,
and so on. But America is America
with practically the same pronuncia-
ton to all the world, except France,
where is becomes Amerique.-New
York Press.
